The Edmonton Oilers management has a real dilemma on their hands in the next couple of weeks, who will make the NHL roster and who will not. There are quite a few bubble guys and with the new coaching staff there may be a few surprises for some people at the start of the season. [...]
Dany Heatley is probably the perfect candidate to play with Ales Hemsky and its just too good of an opportunity for the Oilers to let pass by. The Oilers are in desperate need of some top end scoring and have an abundance of skilled puck moving defensmen which just happens to be what the Ottawa [...]
Stop talking about trading Hemsky… its ridiculous. Jim Matheson must be pretty bored to be sitting around thinking up situations in which the Edmonton Oilers would trade away their best offensive player at a time when they need more offense. I mean come on man Hemsky has the best contract on the team and is [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]

So training camp has ended, the players are healthy and ready to go. Guess what. The fans are too, its been a long summer without hockey and I for one am getting very excited with the season about to start. So I think its only right that I should stick my neck out and risk [...]
Hockey Talks has created a new Message Board for hockey fans that works a little different than most. The difference is that it is for the fans and moderated by the fans. What does that mean? Well it means that any forum rules are decided upon by the members not the admin, so it the [...]

The game last night was important… the battle of Alberta… maybe the most important game of the season for the Oilers to this point of the season. Edmonton came into the game 7 points behind Calgary for the 8th and final playoff spot, if they win they move to within 5, if they lose they [...]
Well its getting close to that time of year that Kevin Lowe needs to make the decision of weather he is a buyer or a seller. It pains me to say it but I don’t think the Oilers will be in the playoff picture this year, with the injuries they’ve taken and the inconsistent play [...]
