Sam Gagner - Just Give It Time
As a group, Oilers fans don't tend to agree on much. Generally, I think we all believe the rookies - Jordan Eberle, Taylor Hall, and Magnus Paajarvi - are pretty good and J.F Jacques is not. We might also agree that the sky is blue and that grass is green but beyond that though we don't agree on...
Summer Fill: Catching up with the Edmonton Oilers via Copper & Blue
Here on SB Nation, our hockey writers have decided to temper the off-season by posing questions to each other about our teams - a roster aspect, a quirk, an ongoing controversy, whatever. In 2009 we were paired up with Winging It In Motown and discussed the economics of Detroit hockey in a...
Steve Tambellini and the Truth
Firing Pat Quinn was the right move. Derek talked about it yesterday but, my God, was Pat Quinn ever bad. This team had an awful lot of problems and I was deeply worried that Quinn would survive through the off-season and we'd have another year of J.F. Jacques on the first line, Jason Strudwick...

Though the trainers have been the butt of an ongoing joke within the Oilogosphere for some time now, Sheldon Souray, Pat Quinn and Steve Tambellini have combined to shine a whole new...
The Survivors
I just undertook what I found to be an interesting exercise: I went to the Oilers official site, and rolled through the coach, management and trainer biographies: in short, of everyone on the hockey side of the organization. I hadn't realized how much turnover there had been in those positions, and...

The great stretch drive of 1980
Fans of both the Toronto Maple Leafs and Edmonton Oilers are better off living in the past. Nobody knows that better than me, who was a fan of the Oilers during their dynasty of the 1980s and before that, a fan of the Leafs during their last dynasty way back in the '60s. "My" team has won the...
