Edmonton Oilers May 21, 2013Cult of Hockey: Does Oilers' GM Craig MacTavish really appreciate the value of faceoffs?
Edmonton Journal — During his end of season press conference, Oilers general manager Craig MacTavish made a reference to the importance of faceoffs. His comment came as part of an answer on whether Sam Gagner could be relied upon on centre despite his woes in the faceoff circle; here in part is what he said: "Apparently from the analytics people, every 40 faceoffs that you lose in the defensive zone, one will end up in your net in the next 30 seconds, so it’s valuable but there are ways you can help support a centreman who has trouble winning faceoffs."

Recap: Anaheim 3, Edmonton 1 - Welcome Back, Ducks
Anaheim Calling — Final Score: Ducks 3, Oilers 1 First Period Recap: This game started rather inauspiciously with a Taylor Hall/Sam Gagner 2-on-1 that turns into an Oilers goal (a wrist shot, courtesy of Mr. Hall) just 60 seconds in. Five minutes later, Daniel Winnik is called for boarding, and the Ducks go on the penalty kill. They're successful at stifling the potentially lethal Edmonton offense. Midway through the first period, shots are 3-2, in favor of the Oilers. There's a scary moment when some fancy Gagner stick work results in an almost-goal, but it goes just wide of Jonas Hiller. Corey...

Edmonton Oilers April 1, 2013Great attitude helped Oilers' Paajarvi deal with NHL career adversity
Edmonton Journal — Sam Gagner, who knows a thing or two about evolving as a player, has had a front-row seat for the many stages of Magnus Paajarvi’s development. He was there when Paajarvi showed flashes of potential as a rookie in 2010-11, to the promising tune of 15 goals, and he watched his Edmonton Oilers teammate struggle so much in his sophomore season that he was sent to the Oklahoma City Barons in the American Hockey League to work on his game.
