Secondary scorers: analysis by microstat
66 games into this sorry, lost season, the Edmonton Oilers stand, er, lie in 30th place overall, 6 points in arrears of dismal Toronto and fully a dozen points back of the 28th place Islanders. It's a standing they've earned on merit, given the Oilers also rank 30th in Goals Against and 29th in...
Rangers Speculation: Greg's Rumor Chart Updated
Please be advised that these are rumors and we are not claiming in any way that any of which is posted below will come to fruition. This is based on what I am hearing from sources both public and private inside certain organizations. Just wanted to condense them all in one article so we can keep...
Rangers Analysis: Should They Be Sizing Up a Jersey for Sheldon Souray?
The New York Rangers need to acquire two things at the trade deadline this coming Wednesday; a physical, crease clearing defenseman, and some offense. A healthy Sheldon Souray would accomplish both. The oft-injured 33 year old has one of the hardest shots in the entire league and plays with a mean...
A Flip-Flopping Good Time; Oilers 5, Kings 4 (SO)
The Kings are now in a 3-game losing streak, but it really doesn't feel like it. We still got a point last night but we had to take this crazy game to the shootout. The Edmonton Oilers scored three goals in the first period on 11 shots on Erik Ersberg and Jason LaBarbera came out for the next 40...
Stuck In The Middle With Cogs
The inevitable conclusion to this photograph is a car wreck. The inevitable conclusion to Andrew Cogliano staying in the faceoff circle is...yes, a car wreck. Andrew Cogliano is a young player with a partially-beautiful game which includes blazing speed, decent hands, a bit of a scorer's touch and...

The Edmonton Oilers penalty kill this season went to work at a 84.7% success rate, good for fifth in the league. Penalty-killing is historically a strength on a Craig-Mactavish coached team, going back to the heady days of Marchant, Grier, etc. With that in mind, lets take a look at the...
Shooting Percentage, 2007-08
One of the statistics that the number crunchers on various Oilers blogs constantly refer to is shooting percentage. A high shooting percentage (compared to a player's career average) likely indicates that the player's goal production is unsustainable, while a low percentage likely means that the...
Edmonton Oilers 1st Round Pick, 2005
Andrew Cogliano, 25th overallThe 2005 NHL Entry Draft was the draft immediately following the lockout, and it was notable for two things: draft order and Sidney Crosby. Because no NHL hockey had been played in 2004-05, draft order was determined by a weighted lottery involving all 30 teams, a...
Face-off Percentage, 2007-08
This is Jarret Stoll, facing off against one Joe Sakic, in what must have been a pretty typical encounter when the Oilers played the Avalanche this season. Stoll led the Oilers this season with a 55.08 winning % on the faceoff dot.Faceoff wins are interesting in that they're the most over-rated...
