We're either really lucky or really good. Since inception, The Copper & Blue has managed to add an outstanding list of writers, Derek and Ben notwithstanding.
Recently, the opportunity to add four new writers to the staff presented itself and we jumped at the chance. These four weren't just any regular joes we picked up from the gutter along Whyte - these four were the brains behind the always-outstanding Driving Play - JaredL, Chase W, Triumph44 and Matt.
The fellows, a combination of Devils and Flyers fans, will contribute the outsider's view on the Oilers and the Northwest Division as well as bring league-wide analysis to the site on a regular basis. We're very excited to bring their work to our audience, and we're waiting with bated breath to hear their collective take on the Wild.
Please welcome them to the fold because if they're like most of our previous additions, they're about to move on to bigger and better things.

I’m a Penguins fan and Matt is a Chicago guy who likes the Blackhawks.

Lucky
Man, if you guys just added someone who would defend all of the Oilers’ moves you could replace the Edmonton MSM.

Finally some balance for all the Canadian xenophobes around here.

Welcome! I’m not familiar with Driving Play, but I’m looking forward to reading all your articles.
Loyal fan of the Edmonton Oilers. Don't you judge me.
That’s partially my fault. I stopped the news and link posts during the WJC. I’ll start them again today.

Well done

Just don’t suddenly decide to rebuild and trade all your good writers for inexperienced commenters.

They did that when Willis left and I joined.
