In mid-October we were told Marc Pouliot had "lingering pubitis" and really haven't heard much since. I understand the need for privacy, after all this isn't a groin injury. However, we're about 6 weeks into the deal and it was estimated to be an 8-to-10 week injury. So, any updates? Have you ...

The Phoenix Coyotes (13-9-1) come into Rexall with some traction (5 points in the last 3 games and a win over the Flyers). The Oilers (9-11-3) should be better tonight after losing to Chicago on HNIC on Saturday night. The Coyotes traditionally do poorly at Rexall and the Oilers are awful on ...

News this afternoon that the Edmonton Oilers have recalled Devan Dubnyk from Springfield (AHL). Dubnyk is having a solid year in the minors (SP .924) and there's a chance he'll see some action because of Nikolai Khabibulin's injury and Jeff Deslauriers recent lack of effectiveness. If he does ...

In the rather short history of the Edmonton Oilers, nothing can compare to the current state of the team. Sure there were times when things looked hopeless, but the General Manager (this would be Glen Sather, early 90s) took out the trash and brought in fresh troops (this would be the ...

This is Gilles Marotte. He was part of the famous "Esposito, Hodge, Stanfield to Boston" trade in 1967, a deal that changed the fortunes of the spoked B forever. There are two things of note about Marotte: The Bruins traded him despite the fact that he'd had success paired with Bobby Orr. ...

In 1972 the Chicago Blackhawks drafted defender Phil Russell in the first round from the Edmonton Oil Kings (WHL). These many years later, another Oil King blueliner might make the first round in 2010. Mark Pysyk (19gp, 3-11-14 +5) is a 6.01, 175 RH defender who has some things to recommend ...

Among the things that we can call background
noise is the story connecting Jaromir Jagr to the
Edmonton Oilers. Recent comments from associate coach Tom Renney saying he's keeping in touch and that Jagr has more NHL seasons ahead of him make the ...

That's Al MacInnis cross checking Doug Gilmour in the 1981 Memorial Cup in Windsor. We've talked a lot about "comparables" over the years and I think it's a reasonable way to project current young players into the future. The idea being we collect players from the same or similar ...

This is Chad Wiseman. Don't know him from Adam, but he is in fact the leader in EV points-per-game for the Springfield Falcons so far this season. One of the main features of the Falcons in 09-10 is the number of AHL veterans and that is most definitely reflected in the numbers below. ...

"What's the story with that dog?" may end up being the punchline for the Edmonton Oilers this season. They're home to the Avs, Hawks, Coyotes, King and Sharks before closing out the month on the road Vancouver. The club begins December with a tough road trip, so if they're going climb back ...

Dear Mr. Katz, I'm writing you today because
you are open to new ideas, you have vision
and wherewithal and you own the Edmonton Oilers. I am not an expert in any field, do not have any special credentials to recommend me and most certainly do not ...

Years ago I was at a weekend sales seminar and the instructor was from Columbus, Ohio. Over the course of the weekend during lunch and dinner breaks I found out quite a bit about C-bus. Unlike Cleveland (made immortal in song by Randy Newman) and Cincinnati (home of Marge Schott), Columbus is ...

At the far outer marker of the Oilers LW pro depth chart (Dustin Penner is at the top) comes the name Vyacheslav Trukhno. Chosen in the 4th round of the 2005 Entry Draft, Trukhno delivered two terrific junior seasons at ages 18 and 19. His 20-year old AHL season started slowly ...

No matter how long the Thrashers spend in Atlanta, the Flames were more interesting in their time in the south. If you wanted a template for building a franchise from expansion to Stanley, the Flames and Cliff Fletcher's story with that franchise are textbook. Just like the Kansas City Royals ...

This is Dean Arsene. The 29-year old AHL veteran becomes an NHL rookie today in true Jose "Coco" Laboy fashion. We talked about Arsene as a possible option here during the summer. He might be the next Bobby Allen but he could be the next Scott Ferguson. Arsene has over 400 games of pro ...

This is Jeff Petry. The young defender is enjoying a very nice start to this season at Michigan State. His boxcars (11gp, 1-9-10 +3) are excellent and a brief glance under the hood shows good things (reading game reports reveals he seems to be playing against the tougher opponents) and average ...

Good grief. Denis Grebeshkov's knee injury is "significant", Fernando's colitis has flared up again and he's flown home, Stone's knee has him a ways from recovery and Jacques is days away. Horcoff and Souray are getting closer on the good side of things, but O'Sullivan apparently left ...

Big man Jean-Francois Jacques' back injury looks to be worse than originally expected. We could read between the lines a little (no update) but Matty in the EJ said today that the back spasms were worse than thought at the outset and that there's no word on how long he'll be out. Stone's gone, ...

Among the things I thought we'd never need to say: Ales Hemsky is a very good NHL hockey player. His contract is exceptional, the tragedy of these years since 2006 summer is that the team didn't get more from it. Recently on this blog and others, questions about Hemsky's ability on ...
