Edmonton Northlands is currently winding themselves into a lather after a beauty counter-trey that (incredibly) appears to have them endorsing their own demise (the study that produced the dow...

He expected a call from Alan Eagleson around 10:15 to tell him which team had selected him in the first round. Lowe waited, and waited, and waited. By 10:45am the phone hadn't rung and Lowe's mom said "My God, they're not dra...

Watching him play live in a game where Edmonton edged Vancouver out of a playoff spot last season made my heart swell, I was so impressed by his finesse and skills.

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.

Injury. Edmonton Oiler fans have seen a lot of good young defense prospects lose most or all of their careers to injury over the years. Selmar Odelein, Nick Stajduhar and Doug Lynch among the names who washed out before making names for themselves at the NHL level.
