An OKC Barons loss... An Oilers Gain

The Edmonton Oilers have recalled 3 players from the Oklahoma City Barons. Chris VandeVelde, Alex Giroux and Ryan O`Marra were chosen. While Giroux and O`Marra have been here before, this will be my first time seeing VandeVelde in action. As far as I know, all three are slated to play tonight. GOILERS!!! -WRITTEN BY SMOKIN` RAY-

Teemu Hartikainen Getting Called Up?

One of my favorite websites www.copperandblue.com is reporting that Hartikainen will be called up before Thursday`s game versus the Coyotes. While this isn`t yet official, I trust C&B with thier info. This will happen and we will finally get to see Hartikainen in some NHL action. Just another piece of the puzzle for the future. Let`s see what he can do. GOILERS!!! -WRITTEN BY SMOKIN` RAY-

Jeff Petry Recalled, Alex Plante Sent Back

The Edmonton Oilers have recalled defenceman Jeff Petry and he will join the team ASAP. With the call up, that means that Alex Plante has been sent back down to the OKC Barons. No surprise there. Plante hasn`t been very good during his short stint with the Oilers. -WRITTEN BY SMOKIN` RAY-

I Don`t Give A Damn! Former Players? Who Cares

Since the Dustin Penner trade happened fans have been asking me about the trade and what happened and how much I cared. Honestly... when a player leaves, they are dead to me. If your not with the Oilers then I don`t care. Take Ryan Smyth for example. I love him as a player. One of my fav Oilers of all time. But if you asked me how he`s doing this year, I don`t know. Or care. He`s with the Kings. I only focus on the Oil and the players that are here now. I`m an Oiler guy through and through. No waivering. So when I`m asked about Penner and how`s he doing... I answer "Who gives a damn, but I hear that Taylor Hall kid is going to be special." :) GOILERS!!! -WRITTEN BY SMOKIN` RAY-
