Hockey Canada says no thanks to Taylor Hall


There is little doubt that Taylor Hall was extremely disappointed at not hearing his name announced as one of the 25 players who would be representing Team Canada at the 2014 Sochi Olympics. While it certainly could not have been easy for the Edmonton Oilers budding superstar, he was not alone in his disappointment.

Bishop's departure = Oilers victory

For one of the few times this season, the Edmonton Oilers caught a couple of breaks and used them to their advantage on Sunday night, slipping past the Tampa Bay Lightning 5-3 at Rexall Place. Jordan Eberle led the way upfront with a pair of goals while Taylor Hall rebounded from a couple of off nights, picking up his 40th and 41st points of the season.

The Cogliano Show


About the only difference between the Edmonton Oilers 5-1 defeat to the San Jose Sharks on Thursday evening and their 5-2 loss to the Anaheim Ducks last night was who ultimately did the last place Oilers in.

Losing hockey games should suck, right?


Another game against a Western Conference powerhouse was met with yet another ass-whipping for the Edmonton Oilers. While the final score may have read 5-1 for the San Jose Sharks, it was a rather flattering score line for Dallas Eakins’ side.

Finally....it's over!!!


Should any of us have really been surprised? Watching the Edmonton Oilers blow another late third period lead and eventually drop a 4-3 overtime decision to the Phoenix Coyotes seemed to be the perfect way for this group to end what has been a rather tumultuous 2013 calendar year.
