Edmonton Oilers Season in Review

  The Edmonton Oilers ended their season on a high with a 7-2 win in game #48 against the Vancouver Canucks. The win though is small solace to Oiler fans as they are still just one more year without playoff hockey. Coming into the season, then GM Steve Tambellini stated that the goal for 2013 would be ...

Oilers Need to Shake a Losing Culture

The Edmonton Oilers have lost six straight games. Their faint hope of a playoff spot is pretty much snuffed out. The team fired their General Manager on Monday, and many thought the team would come out with purpose on Tuesday night. But alas, it was more of the same for the 2012-13 version of the ...

Edmonton Oilers Storm back to Beat the Avalanche

There were portions of Saturday night’s game between Edmonton and the Colorado Avalanche where the Oilers completely controlled the play, in particular the line of Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Taylor Hall and Jordan Eberle. They had the Avs pinned in their own zone for large stretches. But Colorado’s transition game, and more precisely the play of Matt Duchene, burned the ...

Ryan Smyth’s Days as an Oiler may be Numbered

There was a time that Ryan Smyth and the Edmonton Oilers were synonymous with each other. Smyth’s hard-nosed play and unwavering dedication made him a fan favorite in Edmonton. He was the proto-typical power forward. He scored a lot of goals because of his ability to crash the net and clean up the trash. His ...

Ralph Krueger is Making His Mark in Edmonton

Ralph Krueger came into the season as the Oilers new head coach with the reputation as a master motivator and strategist.  Someone who could get the most out of his players and work well with the contingent of young stars. There are a couple of other things in addition that have become evident in the ...

Power Play Fuelling Edmonton Oilers Offence

The Edmonton Oilers do not have trouble scoring goals. Not exactly surprising based on the firepower they have at their disposal to put out on the ice. How those goals are being scored however, is raising some questions. The issue is that almost all of their offence is coming from the power play.  So far ...

Edmonton Oilers 2013 Season Preview: Youth Is Served

  There might not be another team in the NHL with as much anticipation to start the season as the Edmonton Oilers. Languishing at the bottom of the standings over the past three years with finishes of 30th, 30th, 29th, Oiler fans are ready for the team to make their move. Obviously the silver lining ...

Breaking Down the Edmonton Oilers Forward Group

Over the past few years there has been little to cheer about in terms of on-ice success if you’re an Edmonton Oilers fan.  With the team firmly entrenched in re-build mold, Oiler fans have consoled themselves with the fact that within a (hopefully short) period of time there would be a stable of young, exciting, ...

Edmonton Oilers All-Time Roster

With the Edmonton Oilers previous season well over, and the upcoming season months (hopefully) away, Oiler fans are sitting, awaiting the next big Oiler news. They have had an eventful offseason already and fans and management alike are taking some time to catch their breath before their next move. In watching current budding stars Jordan Eberle, Taylor ...
