Edmonton Oilers

Dustin Penner ties it for the Oilers and they outduel the Kings in a shootout for the win. video.aol.com

By noreply@blogger.com (Lowetide) Up front, Dustin Penner is a smidgen from actually walking on water and Ales Hemsky is sublime. Our man Horcoff is picking up the pace despite once again playing at less than 100%. Young Andrew Cogliano seems to have some jump and Patrick O'Sullivan cannot go through an entire season with his...

By noreply@blogger.com (Lowetide) 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 (4-6-10 -1 before...

By noreply@blogger.com (Lowetide) Ottawa is 7-5-2 and Edmonton is 8-8-1. They're both about even in terms of GF-GA and Daniel Alfredsson (6-12-18) and Dustin Penner (10-11-21) lead their respective teams in total points. Oilers will be without Horcoff, Hemsky, Jacques, Souray, Nilsson (new addition) and possibly Laddy...

By Vic Ferrari(noreply@blogger.com) To do this I wrote a script to go through the NHL.com time on ice sheets and find the games that Penner played most of his EV icetime with Horcoff and Hemsky. If that happened, the game's EV tied-score data was dumped into bin #1. If that didn't happen, and both Hemsky and Horcoff played in the game ......

By noreply@blogger.com (Lowetide) Dustin Penner is having a breakout season, the goaltending appears to be as good or better than a year ago (and more settled), Ales Hemsky is posting up points and there are at least 6 forwards who look like they'll have average or better seasons.

By andy grabia(noreply@blogger.com) So far so good with the Oilers this year. 6-2-1 on the season. 2nd in the NW, 4th in the Western Conference. 36GF. 26GA. Dustin Penner tied (with Ryan Smyth) for 4th in league scoring with 14 points. And all this with a bunch of key players (Fernando Pisani, Sheldon Souray, Steve Staios, and Marc Pou...

By By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) -- Everything lined up perfectly for Dustin Penner and the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night.

By noreply@blogger.com (Lowetide) I think this season's version of Ales Hemsky is more about injuries (Horcoff, Hemsky) and not using Penner as the third man on the line. Before they start looking to deal off Hemsky, shouldn't we be asking about the replacement for Jacques on that line?

By By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) -- Dustin Penner and Gilbert Brule each scored twice to lead the Edmonton Oilers to a 5-2 victory over the Minnesota Wild on Friday night.

By noreply@blogger.com (Lowetide) O'Sullivan is kind of a key because if the Oilers can wrap a second scoring line around him (using some or all of Mike Comrie, Sam Gagner, Andrew Cogliano and the rest) then Pat Quinn might be able to roll Horcoff-Penner-Hemsky for the last 72 games of the season. If he can create with someone l...

By noreply@blogger.com (Lowetide) He's in good shape, he's a great and fun (if an unpredictable) interview and Dustin Penner has a chance to turn lemon into lemonade this season. If he can score consistently, post something close to the 29 goals he scored as a rookie on the way to the Stanley, Edmonton Oiler fans will cheer him...

Sheldon Souray scored the game-winner with just 2:15 to play giving the Edmonton Oilers a 3-2 victory over the New York Islanders on Wednesday night, spoiling the preseason debut of John Tavares. Sam Gagner and Dustin Penner also scored for the Oilers (2-0). Bruno Gervais and Calvin de Haa...

By RiversQ(noreply@blogger.com) Anyway, this is just a quick note on Penner, who happens to be a hot topic these days. Here's an overview of the key stats at 5v5 for Penner and the first line in 2008/2009. (XX represents any Oiler forward except Penner, Hemsky or Horcoff.)

By Al Balderas, staff writer Outlook: If the Oilers have anything positive to build on, following a 3-2 loss to Vancouver on Wednesday and a 9-2 shellacking by Chicago on Tuesday, it’s that they’re finally on a roll. Third-period goals by former Duck Dustin Penner and Sam Gagner in the loss to Vancouver mean that the Oi...

By Mike Halford Penner also got back on the first line at even strength, where he is smart and skilled enough to make passing plays with Ales Hemsky and Shawn Horcoff. MacTavish had tried two bulls, Ethan Moreau and Erik Cole, with Hemsky and Horcoff, but neither Moreau nor Cole is much for passing the puck a...

A day after blasting Dustin Penner, coach Craig MacTavish unloaded with the second barrel. In making the winger a healthy scratch for the second consecutive game, MacTavish said he sees no reason to rush him back into the lineup. "He's not competitive enough or fit enough to help us, so why p...

By noreply@blogger.com (Lowetide) Let's say Jagr comes to camp and the Oilers decide he should play with Ales Hemsky and Sam Gagner on the 1line. That would leave Dustin Penner to play with Shawn Horcoff and Robert Nilsson on the 2line and perhaps give Jarret Stoll a chance to play on the "tough minutes" line with Fernando Pisa...

They didn't. It's the same this summer with regard to Shawn Horcoff. The Sheldon Souray and Dustin Penner deals are going to look even more ghastly should Edmonton sign Jarret Stoll and allow Shawn Horcoff to come to camp as an impending UFA.

Rather than bask in dissapointment, the Oilers took it to the Calgary Flames last night, and former Edmonton netminder Curtis Joseph, who made his debut for the Flames last night after recently being signed. Fernando Pisani, Dustin Penner, Ales Hemsky, Steve Staios and Sam Gagner combi...
