Every Canadian NHL hockey team has hardcore fans that eat, sleep and breathe their team. When it comes to the Edmonton Oilers, their faithful are as fanatical as they come and each is proud to “bleed oil.” If you are one such Oiler fan it’s likely the standard NHL news outlets don’t give you enough inside dirt on your team. A true Oilers addict will find their fix of everything Oilers on the web’s #1 Edmonton Oilers Blog, www.oilersaddict.com.

The old saying “what goes around, comes around” is looking mighty promising to fans of the Oilers these days. What “went around” in the mid-1980’s was the city boasting a team that had the greatest collection of talent ever amassed in the history of the National Hockey League. With Wayne Gretzky, Mark Messier, Grant Fuhr, Jari Kurri, Glenn Anderson, Paul Coffey and Kevin Lowe being supported by an excellent cast of role players, the Oilers were the very definition of a “dynasty” and made their way to 5 Stanley Cups.

The city and fans around the world have never forgotten what it was like to be the seat of professional hockey supremacy for such an extended period of time. Today, after more than a few very lean years, there is a genuine sense of optimism that the team may be building its way back to at least some semblance of its former glory. There is a premiere nucleus of young talent in the Oilers’ forward ranks, led by 2010 1^st overall pick Taylor Hall and strongly backed by 2008 1^st rounder Jordan Eberle and 2009 top pick Magnus Paajarvi. Each of these players gives an Oilers addict all the more reason to follow closely as GM Steve Tambellini rebuilds the Oilers into a Western Conference powerhouse in the Canadian NHL.

Chances are, however, any fan that is going to put the effort into finding a top-notch Edmonton Oilers Blog is going to want to see the team ORGANIZATIONALLY and that means looking further down the talent pipeline. With the Oilers Addict blog, you will be equally on top of what’s going on with the AHL’s Oklahoma City Barons. The Oilers’ farm team features quality young players learning the craft in the American Hockey League before earning a spot with the Oilers. Olivier Roy is a name to remember – he’s a lightning-fast goaltender that looks great so far in his young career. Alex Plante is a gigantic d-man who should be taking a crack at the Oiler’s roster before long. Same goes for skilled Swedish winger Linus Omark.
