dustin-penner Stories - The Copper & Blue
Hidden Gems - 6
These notable quotes were found in Phil Coffey's "More quotes than you can shake a stick at" on NHL.com. Here are my three favorite from his selection.1) "I guess I had a large behind when I got there. That was Kris Draper’s funny joke. First it was ‘Big Swede,’ then ‘Big Ass,’ then ‘Bubble Butt,’...
Kings 3, Oilers 4
I'm not exactly mad at the outcome of this game. The Kings only get one point as they are snuffed on the shootout by Mathieu Garon. The Oilers grab two points and the Kings take home one. But let's hit the rewind button.First period:- Aubin is in net with Jonathan Quick as his backup. Aubin is up...
Mini-Rant – 3 - It's Like a Bad Car Accident, You Just Gotta Look
John Buccigross is a moron. This is a certifiable fact. After speaking at length to my friend over at Hockey Blog in Canada, Teebz, we’ve decided to take two different approaches to Bucci’s weekly articles at ESPN.com. He has gone the way of never reading anything by him again, and I have chosen to...
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...
Another One Bites The Dust; Kings 3, Oilers 2
The Los Angeles Kings lose one in Vancouver last night and win one tonight in another back-to-back. With Jarret Stoll, Wayne Simmonds, Ryan Smyth, and whoever else out of the line up, the Kings had to lose another key player in tonight's game. Jack Johnson "took one off the ankle" in the first...
Sheldon Souray Won't Be Working For TSN
"Last season Souray was campaigning for Penner to get more powerplay time, because he was the only one willing to stand in front of his shot, and they needed somebody to stand in front" --Dan Tencer on the Oilers' power play in 2008-2009
Trade Specs: Scott Gomez For Dustin Penner
One of the Rangers priorities this season is going to be to first decide whether or not the Rangers think Gomez is still their man and then if he isn't go about trying to move him. After a miserable campaign this past year, it's up in the air whether or not John Tortorella and Rangers management...
Calculating the Value of the Dustin Penner Picks
A post the other day over at Copper Blue Dreams got me thinking again about the Dustin Penner RFA signing. What was the value of the three draft picks given up to sign him? The blogosphere has always been divided over the Penner signing, and I personally have been extremely ambivalent (although...
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...
Contracts That Make Dustin Penner Look Cheap
No, not Garon. The player taking the shot is 2-time 57-point scorer Martin Erat, who was due to be a restricted free agent. No longer.TSN is reporting that Erat today signed a seven year, 31.5-million dollar contract extension, for an average cap hit of 4.5million/year. Erat set a career high this...
