Jay Onrait over on TSN did a little Q & A with former King Patrick O'Sullivan who didn't have such nice things to say. Well, being that I'm ME, I just felt a response was necessary. NRAIT: What's been the most surprising thing playing for a Canadian team? O'SULLIVAN: It's definitely different coming from L.A. where nobody cared and after the game we'd have two people in the room waiting to tal...
BUFFALO, N.Y. - With the game on the line, the Buffalo penalty killers came up big.
Edmonton left wing Liam Reddox was knocked out of the Oilers' 3-1 loss at Buffalo when he was rammed headfirst into the boards by Clarke MacArthur late in the third period. Reddox went after a loose puck along the left boards in the Oilers end when MacArthur leaned into him. Reddox slammed into the boards after appearing to lose balance on his way down.
Mike Babcock and his Canadian Olympic men's hockey team coaching staff likely don't have enough hours in the day to dedicate to their respective NHL clubs, but they will make room to talk Team Canada in the runup to the 2010 Vancouver Winter Games.
Brendan Witt was already having the game of his life when chants of his name echoed around Nassau Coliseum.
Brendan Witt was already having the game of his life when chants of his name echoed around Nassau Coliseum. The hard-hitting defenseman had two goals in the bank when fans clamored for more in the final minute of the New York Islanders' 3-1 win over the Edmonton Oilers on Monday night. The net at the other end was empty, and Witt had a chance at a most-improbable hat trick.
He was the center of the Brian Burke-Kevin Lowe feud two seasons ago. He was the main resident in Craig...
I received an email from my sister early this morning. "I haven't seen a blog from you in a while. Everything okay?" Ummm, health stuff. I won't get into details, but I'll try harder to keep writing while I continue to deal with this junk. Now let's talk some hockey. Strange times last week in Oilerville. I heard someone from Sportsnet say that everyone except Sam Gagner had the flu. Good genes...
EDMONTON - What looked like a lopsided win quickly turned into a nail-biter for the Edmonton Oilers.
What a kick in the teeth for the Detroit Red Wings : Center Valtteri Filppula was hit by Gilbert Brule in the...
Marc Crawford has plenty of fond memories on the eve of his 1,000th game as an NHL head coach, a milestone he will reach Friday when his Dallas Stars host the Florida Panthers.
The Ottawa Senators (6-2-2) visit the Florida Panthers (3-3-3) Thursday evening at St. Pete Times Forum in Tampa.
The Edmonton Oilers have confirmed that defenseman Ladislav Smid has the swine flu. The Oilers made the announcement Tuesday night following their 3-0 loss to the Colorado Avalanche. Smid played 19 minutes 47 seconds in the game. The Oilers believe he is the only player on the team to have caught the virus.
EDMONTON - Craig Anderson stopped 25 shots to record his second shutout of the season and the Colorado Avalance earned a 3-0 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night.
After a shaky start to the season, Roberto Luongo is back to his old stingy self.
VANCOUVER, B.C. - Roberto Luongo became the Vancouver Canucks' franchise leader in shutouts Sunday night, but he was more interested in talking about his team's record than his own.
The more players the Vancouver Canucks lose to injury, the better star goalie Roberto Luongo seems to get. Luongo made 27 saves for his first shutout of the season to lead the injury-riddled Canucks to a 2-0 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday night. One night earlier, he stopped 35 shots in a win over Toronto.
Sorry UPDATE: Wellwood out with broken toe and Shirokov called up. Expected to be with Bolduc and Bernier on the 3rd line from what I can tell. If you had to pick an early favourite in this game I would go with Vancouver, they played earlier and did not have to travel but that's about all that works in their favour heading into tonight's matchup. The Oilers are a superior team so far t...
To say that Jake Voracek has been the most consistent player all year for the Blue Jackets would not be a stretch. The worry of a sophomore slump may still remain for Derick Brassard and Steve Mason but not for Vcek. More known as a table setter, Voracek popped in 2 goals last night to help lead the CBJ over the Anaheim Ducks 6-4. Voracek has points in 6 out of 9 games and is +5 so far this se...
You have heard of a âNew York minuteâ but have you heard of the âEdmonton 17 seconds?â Has 17 seconds caused complete madness within the Blue Jackets? The CBJ took a 17 second lead over the Oilers and then the Oilers struck right back 17 seconds later. Since that point either panic or an alien has taken over the Blue Jackets. The Union Blue's wheels fell off against the Oilers and lost...
Everything lined up perfectly for Dustin Penner and the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night. Penner scored his sixth and seventh goals of the season and added three assists in the Oilers' 6-4 comeback victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets. "I was trying to set small goals first, I wasn't expecting to see my name up with the league leaders," said Penner, fourth in NHL in scoring...
Adrian Aucoin scored at 1:57 of overtime to give the Phoenix Coyotes a 3-2 victory over the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday night.
