Of course I write songs about Wayne Gretzky in my free time and my friends make videos with them. What do you do with your free time?

An interview with Dillon Simpson from UND TV.

Jordan Eberle gets shot down by the lovely attendant at the player of the game ceremony following a game against Switzerland at the 2011 IIHF World Championships. Thousands of Alberta girls shake their heads in disgust.

Jeff Petry steps up and levels Sami Lepisto.

Marty Turco expresses a familiar sentiment concerning Pierre.

Edmonton Oilers prospect Martin Marincin gets the most inappropriate sort of revenge: after American forward Jason Zucker makes a bit of a late hit on a Slovakian, Marincin pretty much elbows Zucker in the face at full speed while the puck is on the other side of the rink.

Bryan Little scores off the face off while Di Pietro takes a nap. As they say throw the puck on net and good things happen!

Mike Thomas of the Saint John Sea Dogs, an Edmonton Oilers and Oklahoma Barons training camp invitee, with his first fight of the season, and a definite win at that.

Derek Zona had a look at this prospect this past September.

Watch Stephen Weiss playing the center position to perfection while in the defensive zone. Weiss begins the video on the goal line on the near side. He comes to the battle to support the puck, snags it and sends it up ice out of the zone. These are the simple things legit NHL forward do without thinking twice. These are the sorts of players and plays that are needed, even in an 8-year rebuild.
