Are the Edmonton Oilers the team to beat in the Pacific Division? (Daily Faceoff)

Matt Larkin and Steven Ellis talk about why the Oilers are the class of the Pacific Division and the team...

Steven Ellis: Well, see, when you look at the Oilers, that was a team we talked about a couple of months ago, saying, can they even make the playoffs at this point? The Edmonton Oilers have been on a roll, and they could become the first team in 27 years to boast three 100-point scorers. A crucial win for the Edmonton Oilers, 2-0 and Stuart Skinner picks up 43 saves for a shutout which leapfrogs the Oilers over the Los Angeles Kings in the standings.

The unnecessary hate of Edmonton Oilers defenceman Darnell Nurse (Oilers Nation)

Nurse was drafted seventh overall in the 2013 NHL Draft and has played 548 regular season games since. One pick after him was Rasmus Ristoleninan, who is-175 in ...

He is here and is an Edmonton Oiler for many years to come. Since the trade deadline, Nurse averages the most minutes at even strength, 18:54, on the Oilers blueline. Absolutely not and that is not what John is saying either. He is now averaging 1.95 points per 60 along with 5.37 shots per 60. He is going to be stapled to the bench. Darnell Nurse will be on the ice and you better believe it.” I am sure many of those people are the same ones that discount Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl’s power play points. Evidently, that idea of that is completely incorrect.

When you look at overall points totals, Nurse does not stack up against any of those players. He is paid more than Roman Josi, Cale Makar, and Miro Heiskanen. Is it justified?

Oilers' Kane seems to be hitting his stride as playoffs loom (Sportsnet.ca)

When the six-foot-two, 210-pound Evander Kane is patrolling the left wing for the Edmonton Oilers, it makes a big difference. The physical play is helping ...

“As the games become more meaningful, more impactful, you want to continue to build and know that you're going to be at your best come playoff time,” Kane said. “The good news is, there are not a lot of miles on that chassis this year. “Either you're out for the year with an injury, or it's at the beginning or it's at the end. “He's a big, strong guy who gets in on the forecheck hard. Yet, he is the greatest ever to lace up a pair of skates. And perhaps he wouldn’t be the ultimate superstar, but instead, just that near perfect conglomeration of hockey skills, all wrapped up into a package that helps you win games — however they are played.

Big Boyz Brigade pushes Edmonton Oilers into serious Stanley Cup ... (Edmonton Journal)

You don't have to have the biggest group of defensemen in the world to win the Stanley Cup. But it certainly doesn't hurt.

This “Dump-and-Thump” tactic has largely been missing from the Oil’s playbook but could well be the missing ingredient in a long and successful Stanley Cup run this spring. Such heavy players up front along with the Big Boyz Brigfade on defence makes the Oilers a much more difficult opponent, as seen in Thursday’s 2-0 win over the Los Angeles Kings. But as Montreal, St. Keith, Barrie and Russell had excellent moments for the Oilers in the playoffs last season. The Kings tried to bottle up the neutral zone with a trap, but the Oilers carefully advanced the puck, dumped it in and proceeded to charge in and dislodge the puck from L.A. The average for Edmonton’s newly formed Big Boyz Brigade on defence is 6-3, 207 pounds. On the right, it’s Cody Ceci, 6-2, 210, Evan Bouchard, 6-3, 194 and Vincent Desharnais, 6-6, 215. Of course, there’s still a place for smaller d-men in the NHL. Louis crews were, but they’re one of the bigger “D” units on top NHL teams. When it comes to weight, the mean for defensemen is 202 pounds, with forwards at 197.8 pounds. Article content Cale Makar is easily the best d-man in the league right now while standing less than 6 feet and weighing less than 200.

Size Matters in NHL Defense, and the Oilers Are Ready for it (NNN)

According to Cathy Squires of the Pension Plan Puppets blog, the mean height of an NHL player is 6.12 feet tall, with defensemen at 6.17 feet, and forwards ...

The Edmonton Oilers GM Ken Holland has worked diligently to add bigger defensemen to their team. Smaller d-men like Cale Makar can also be successful in the NHL. When it comes to weight, the mean for defensemen is 202 pounds, with forwards at 197.8 pounds.
