Countdown On!

Only 8 days till the season begins!

GO OILERS GO!

Not Much Going On

It's been a very quiet week in Oiler Land. The only rumors that I have heard of (you know it's quiet when I start talking about rumors!) are Petre Sykora is about to sign with the Oilers with a one year contract for around $3 to $2.5 million. The other rumor floating around is the possibility of Brian Leetch.
I don't really believe either of these rumors. The Sykora rumor doesn't make much sense from the stand point that the Oilers are already pretty deep up front. The Brian Leetch rumor only makes sense from the standpoint that the Oilers need some help on the back end. Leetch would be a pretty expensive gamble. He's older, expensive and slowing down, not Oiler traits.
Another rumor that I've also heard is the Oilers trading for Ducks defencemen Vitaly Vishnevski. I don't really like the sounds of this one at all - anyone that only scores 1 goal and gets 8 points in 82 games isn't exactly a great player, heck a trained monkey can get 8 points in 82 games.
That's it for now.

Oiler Blog Back

So last night I'm sitting in bed typing up another post to my main blog about the Oilers when my future wife to be complains that all my posts are about the Oilers and nothing else, so I've decided to give the Oiler Blog I was thinking of setting up a wile ago another run. So if your an Oiler fan - or just a hockey fan in general this will be the place to check out from now on! (Ok I promise to post more than once a week!)
