Since the Edmonton Oilers have been eliminated from the playoffs every so called hockey expert I’ve heard has said that the Oilers have too many small forwards and need to add some size up front. Well most of those guys haven’t watched every game this season like I have so they don’t realize that on [...]
Its been 8 long painful seasons watching Craig Mactavish squash any offensive potential the Edmonton Oilers have shown and it has finally come to an end. There was a time when I thought Mactavish was doing a good job for the Oilers and was a premier NHL coach because he was making a low skilled [...]
Well maybe not, he might resign. Well thats about the only situation I can think of that would prevent him from being fired and lets face it he and Kevin Lowe are good friends and I’m sure Lowe will give him the opportunity to resign rather than being fired. After the Oilers defeated the Vancouver [...]
The Anaheim Mighty Ducks beat the Edmonton Oilers tonight in NHL play and pushes the Oilers even further from that elusive playoff spot. The real story for me in this game is how the Oilers were able to mount a comeback late in the game when they were down by a score of 4-1. Goals [...]
OMG Dwayne Roloson was a machine tonight as he made 51 save to steal the game and 7th place in the western conference from the Ducks. Roloson ties his career high in wins with 27 which is very impressive when you consider he did it in 10 fewer games. I think this season comes down [...]
With Edmonton’s shootout win in Chicago tonight they extend their winning streak to 3 games and put a little bit of breathing room between themselves and 9th place in the western conference. The Oilers have picked up points in 7 straight games and have only lost in regulation once in their last 10 games. Dwayne [...]
Its about time, I was really starting to worry. The Oilers are now in 7th place in the Western conference as they have defeated the St. Louis Blues 2-1 in a shootout. Roli basically put the team on his back and carried them back into a playoff position. Game Notes: As mentioned above Dwayne Roloson [...]
I could write about how the Oilers have just lost for the fourth time in five games (3 times against teams below them in the standings) but that would be really depressing so lets see if I can put some positive spin on this. The Oilers have recorded points in 4 straight games. Patrick O’Sullivan [...]
Watch out Atlanta… This will add alot of energy and toughness to the Oilers game. I would expect that Penner will be sitting out again and MacT will probably go with this lineup: Kotalik – Horcoff – Hemsky Nilsson – O’Sullivan – Gagner Moreau – Cogliano – Pisani Pouliot – Brodziak – Stortini GO OILERS [...]
How upsetting…. The Oilers have for only the 2nd time this season when leading after 2 periods as Saku Koivu scored in the 3rd to tie the game and again in OT on the power play to win it. Since the trade deadline the Oilers have 1 win and 2 OT loses and like last [...]
