The Edmonton Oilers have two first overall players and a third one this summer but it is Jordan Eberle making headlines in the post season. Eblere was surely an easy pick for Team Canada and the IIHF Ice Hockey World Championships in Sweden and Finland and now that pick is paying off.

Oilers 2011-12 Season: The Good

The Edmonton Oilers’ season did not go the way that many [I] had expected, but somehow things have worked out. The team starred the season off with rookie Ryan Nugent-Hopkins scoring his first NHL goal in his first NHL game and then also the game winning shootout goal in the team’s home opener against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Nugent-Hopkins would go on to win the rookie of the month title for the month of October while netminders Nikolai Khabibulin and Devan Dubnyk would put up unreal numbers of their own and Khabibulin would be named the NHL third star of the same month. Things may have gone downhill from there, but this was a far more exciting season than years previous.

Jordan Eberle Nominated for Lady Byng

The Edmonton Oilers will not be raising any banners earned from this season to the rafters of Rexall Place, but now two players have the possibility of raising a trophy. Last week it was announced that Ryan Nugent-Hopkins was a finalist for the Calder Trophy and now Jordan Eberle has been selected as a finalist for the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy. While the Lady Byng may not be the award midget or even junior players dream of winning it is still a prestigious award that has been handed out to a very impressive and talented list of players.

Oilers beat Blue Jackets 6-3 in rare afternoon victory
It is official, the last place team has been determined and for the first time in three years, it’s not the Edmonton Oilers. Of course speaking to some Columbus fans in the stands, they believe that they will not be lucky enough to actually draft first overall. To that I say, you just never know.
This Oilers win also means that the Oilers are no longer the worst Canadian team, at least for now, and because they are now tied for 71 points with the Montreal Canadiens and the New York Islanders.

Oilers lose 3-2 to Coyotes
It was close, so close. The Oilers nearly had their first victory over the Phoenix Coyotes of the season, even if it was during their last meeting of the season. But alas, it wasn’t meant to be. After taking a two goal second period lead, the Oilers finally succumbed to the Yotes in the third period and lost in the shootout.

Eberle Hits 30

As we all know, the Edmonton Oilers finished 30th. Two years in a row. Shockingly, the first time around there was still a 32 goal scorer on the team; Dustin Penner. The second time, the top goal scorer on an injury riddled team was Taylor Hall with 22. This season and in early March, Jordan Eberle has defied expectations and hit 30 goals in 62 games. Of course Eberle leads the Oilers in scoring. The best part is, he’s not done yet and the Oilers will not finish 30th.

Oilers Flying

Oilers shutout Flyers 2-0
It was a rare visit by the Philadelphia Flyers Thursday night in Edmonton, so rare in fact that the last time the Flyers won in Rexall Place was March 19, 2001. It’s not as though the Flyers play in Edmonton every year, although that would be a good change, but rather the teams only face each other in Edmonton every two to three years. Still, this victory is sweet for the Oilers; they need all of the wins they can get if only for their own sense of pride.

Oilers beat the Flames 6-1
It has been a very long time coming. It was October 17th, 2008 the last time the Oilers left the Calgary Saddledome with a win in their pocket. Since that game, the Oilers have been 0-9-1 in Calgary.

Congenial Eberle

As the disappointment of the Oilers’ season settles in, the focus turns to the positives that might be found; Ryan Nugent-Hopkins could be the first Oiler to win the Rookie of the Year honours, the Oilers could select another high calibre player and of course that Jordan Eberle could win the Lady Byng Trophy.

Jordan Eberle on After Hours

You had to feel for Edmonton Oilers’ winger Jordan Eberle; his team had just lost to their Alberta rival, Eberle had only just returned to from injury, and although Eberle is the team’s leading scorer, he had not been named to the All Stars game. These could not have been easy topics for the sophomore, but those were of course the topics of choice. And then, you had to add in the fact that Eberle is Hall’s roommate and so has to know more about Hall’s injury than most others. There didn’t seem to be enough focus on Eberle himself during his interview on After Hours, but it was an interesting segment none the less.
Ryan Whitney of course makes a joke at Eberle’s expense, and if you don’t have access to CBC you may have missed it. And so, the Edmonton Oilers have made the videos available for your enjoyment.
