Apropos of tonight's game against the hapless and
Foote-less Columbus Blue Jackets, and with a grateful tap
of the gloves to one James Mirtle, I present once again the last-in-the-league push, in which our Oilers feature prominently. While last time ...

So, uh, wow. Thanks to my parents, Oilers
equipment manager Jeff Lang and the 2007-08 Edmonton Oilers
for this completely unexpected and thoroughly awesome gift. It's basically the coolest thing in the world. I've got a shiny nickel here for the ...

Inspired by Rock Deputy's advocation of military-style groin
protection for NHL players, I thought I'd take a
look at exactly how hard the puck would hit an NHL player when compared to an actual, no shit bullet. Now, this comes with the caveat that ...

I don't think I'm the only one that
has it. Somewhere around the fourth minute of last
night's game, with the Oilers down 2-0 having already faced about 20 shots, I felt extra sleepy and hit the hay. Simply put: the team isn't very good, and doesn't ...

Yep. That's as close to pornography as hockey
clips get. After losing over 30 lbs to Colitis
last summer, local folk hero Fernando Pisani is returning to the Oilers lineup tonight against Anaheim (apparently the Oilers only ever play Anaheim, ...

The ever-elusive Daryl Katz phoned in for a
media conference call today, and the assembled media jackals
got a chance to pepper him with hard-hitting questions like "Have you seen the "Daryl Katz is Batman' Facebook Group?" and "What was your ...

Raffi Torres is gone. Joni Pitkänen is also
gone. Gilbert Brule and Erik Cole are in. First
off, I'm incredibly glad to see Raffi go. I know he could "keep his head above water" against "tougher opposition," but that doesn't change the fact he was a ...

Excuse me, I just sprayed my computer screen
with coffee. Just like that, the Oilers have a
new GM. And Steve Tambellini steps in? Buh? I have no clue what this is about, whether it's all Darryl Katz's idea or Kevin Lowe simply deciding to take on ...

Last night was actually a pretty good game.
It's a shame that TSN ruined it with dumb
storyline that revolved around a tenuous Sidney Crosby connection to the Oilers Gretzky heyday (how much longer can we milk the strained, leathery teat of the ...

So how about that Mike W, huh? You
have to admire the little guy's indomitable spirit; whilst
fans like Pleasure Motors and I are only too eager to jump ship and scurry away to "attend to other matters" at the first sign of rainclouds accumulating ...

With a hat tip to Mrs Biesinger and
Kirk from the previous post (well worth checking out,
by the way, if the critical returns hold any water: "stunning; magnificent; transcendent"—Martin Levin, the Globe and Mail"; "truly a thoughtful, engrossing ...

Well, ownership of the Oilers took a turn
for the murkier today, with an exasperated Darryl Katz
subtly questioning EIG's own sense of accountability and transparency to the public, a sentiment that has been echoed by the Oilogosphere since EIG ...

Man, I never thought I'd get a chance
to link to that video. This is already a
great day. Anyway, I'm a touch behind on this (story of my life), but Staples has a fairly interesting post up about the battle tension between "traditionalists" and "stat ...

Colorado "Rockies" Avalanche (11-8-1) Vs. Edmonton Oilers (8-12-1)
A downtown subway delay lead to an unexpected after-work
drinking excursion today, in which I ran into a pack of middle-aged Roughrider fans (they only travel in groups of 8, as far ...

Vancouver (10-8-1) at Edmonton (7-12-1) Hmm, there’s an
Oilers hockey game on in 2 minutes. But then,
there’s also Yentl starring Barbra Streisand airing on BRAVO. And what’s this? Question Period on CPAC? Shit! Tough decisions. I don’t ...

For those of you with the financial good
sense to avoid Oilers PPV, here's an amusing intermission
piece on Tom Gilbert, Andrew Cogliano and Sam Gagner's frat abode. Like Marty Reasoner and Matt Greene before him, Tom Gilbert proves that college ...

team! And Cal Nichols supports it! "Mr. Katz called

I normally reserve my trips to West Edmonton
Mall for times when I want to feel morally
superior to the rest of humanity, but with the Oilers annual autograph session taking place in the shopping pit of despair yesterday, myself and ...

a coffee shop on Saturday." — The Edmonton Journal.
And the Oilers came up short again tonight against everyone's favourite one-line team, the Tampa Bay Lightning. Whoever shelled out $12.95 surely can attest ...
