Opinion: Chorney Callup?

11 Oct 2009 06:40:00 PDT

Written by noreply@blogger.com (Lowetide)
Chorney's numbers are impressive offensively and on the powerplay, but as with most kids getting the call he won't see those kinds of minutes in the show. Chorney has looked good in both training camps he's been to and clearly is one of the top rated prospects for the Edmonton Oilers organiz...

The Edmonton Oilers have become big fans of the misdirection play. The verbal counter-trey. 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...

Louise and I were talking today and she mentioned something interesting: at some point this season the Oilers are going to have to start talking about contracts for Grebeshkov and Gags/Cogs and that conversation will contain the names of two defensemen.

Written by noreply@blogger.com (Lowetide)
Kevin Lowe was told the 1979 draft (via telephone) was to start at 10am. 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...

For Oilers fans we're probably a couple of weeks away from the point where we can safely begin talking about the June draft. As of this morning, Edmonton is close to 8th but also close to 15th, which in the Kevin Lowe "Groundhog Day" era smells a lot like poetic justice. The Edmonton Oilers sinc...

For example, Sam Gagner is one of the best and most exciting young players in the NHL at only 19.

Oops, forgot the Oilers had Sykora, lol. I'd have gone Smyth, Sykora, and Pouliot. And Horcoff is shaken up. Promising start, lol Starting goalies are, not surprisingly, Roloson and Hasek. Oilers start with Horc's line, DET with Z, Datsyuk and Holmstrom.

This shouldn't make Oilers fans overconfident though because the Oilers defense can be downright terrible and you put enough of a forecheck on guys like Greene, Smid and Bergeron and eventually the puck will find it's way onto a Stars stick.
