Penguins’ Draft Creates Identity Crisis

Penguins’ Draft Creates Identity Crisis

June 26th, 2016 The Pittsburgh Penguins may have created a paradigm shift in the NHL with a non-traditional approach to their lineup. Three lethal scoring lines brought wave after wave of offensive attack. While smooth skating, puck moving defensemen neutralized opposing forecheckers by getting to the puck first, and executing quick zone exits. The...
Pittsburgh Penguins: No Concern Over Draft Approach

Pittsburgh Penguins: No Concern Over Draft Approach

June 26th, 2016 The Pittsburgh Penguins faithful set social media ablaze following the NHL Entry Draft. Did Jim Rutherford and his staff really have the nerve to draft physical defensemen? Isn't that mindset counterproductive to what made Pittsburgh so successful last season? Well, not really. It is true that the Penguins' Stanley Cup run was...
Five Players that Need to be Better for the Edmonton Oilers

Five Players that Need to be Better for the Edmonton Oilers

September 1st, 2013 The 2013 shortened season was another poor one for the Edmonton Oilers. Yet another season for Oiler fans to lament their position in the bottom of the league's standings. There were certainly some positives, including the breakout of Taylor Hall as the team's best player, the arrival of Justin Schultz and Nail Yakupov and a career...
Edmonton Oilers Add Needed Grit, Toughness and Depth

Edmonton Oilers Add Needed Grit, Toughness and Depth

July 8th, 2013 Craig MacTavish and the Edmonton Oilers haven't made the big splash everyone was anticipating and hoping for, at least not yet. Expectations are running high and based on MacTavish's proclamations when hired, Oiler fans may not be satisfied unless he lands a bonafide NHL star. He missed out on winger David Clarkson, judged to be...

NHL Free Agents: 5 Targets for the Pittsburgh Penguins

July 3rd, 2013 With the free agent market opening on Friday, teams are scrambling to keep their unrestricted free agents or figure out how to replace them. The new CBA has added a twist for NHL free agents though – at 12:01am on July 3rd, an “interview period” began for unrestricted  free agents to talk to all teams about potential contracts...
Did the Edmonton Oilers Do Enough at the Trade Deadline?

Did the Edmonton Oilers Do Enough at the Trade Deadline?

April 4th, 2013 The Edmonton Oilers essentially stood pat at the NHL trade deadline, making just one deal, bringing in depth forward Jerred Smithson from the Florida Panthers for a fourth round pick. Smithson will certainly bring value to the bottom six and brings size, grit and experience. He's an excellent penalty killer and good in the face-off...
Edmonton Oilers Ready to Break Out After Impressive Win

Edmonton Oilers Ready to Break Out After Impressive Win

February 19th, 2013 The Edmonton Oilers came into the lockout shortened 2013 season with more hope and anticipation than many other NHL teams. With Jordan Eberle on the verge of NHL star status after his all-star season, Taylor Hall emerging as a dangerous sniper and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins arriving on the scene averaging almost a point per game as a rookie,...
Edmonton Oilers 2013 Season Preview:  Youth Is Served

Edmonton Oilers 2013 Season Preview: Youth Is Served

January 17th, 2013   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 to finishing so low...
