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. [...]
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 to [...]
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 Roloson [...]
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 was spectacular, he [...]
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 has scored [...]
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 GO.

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 [...]
Chicago owned Edmonton tonight, I mean the score should have 6-1 instead of 3-1 but Roli played great and kept it close. It was such a frustrating game to watch when Edmonton just lost every puck battle and every race to the puck.. well except for the 4th line who generated by far the most [...]
The Good:
Gilbert Brule has scored his first goal as an Edmonton Oilers on a breakaway tonight against the Blues. I really like Brule and am confident he will have a long successful career in Edmonton and we’ll see him score many more.
Ryan Potulny has been called up from the Springfield Falcons where he has put [...]
