Jérémie Blain - #24 in Copper & Blue's Top 25 Under 25
Jérémie Blain has been a mainstay in the mediocre middle of our Top 25 for a while, but that mediocrity has generally been on an upward trajectory. Right after being drafted, we slotted him in at #27, but he quickly rose to #25 and then up to #19 this summer. With the winter edition...
The Thick-Skulled Words Behind Jeremie Blain's Suspension
We first heard about Jérémie Blain's suspension for "inappropriate remarks" towards Jonathan Racine via EasyOil's FanShot. Racine is black, so the logical translation for inappropriate remarks was racial epithets. While we waited for the facts of the case to surface, we avoided...
Bridgeport/Islanders Prospect Roundup, Dec 11th
It's a tough stretch of games for Bridgeport, as they dropped both games this week and have lost 5 of their last 6 (although 2 of those were OTLs). The only good news is that both goalies are looking better, and Scott Howes had 2 points in last nights game to continue his point per game average. BP...

Bridgeport and Prospect Roundup 10/23
Just like their parent club, Bridgeport is struggling wildly with inconsistency. There are some bright spots early though, as Justin DeBendetto is second in the AHL in goals and the team is 3-4 after 7 games. Jeremy Colliton continues his solid minor league career as he is averaging a point per...
2011-12 CHL Draft Tracker, October Edition
In theory, the NHL entry draft is a very monotonous process. Every year the same 30 teams march to the podium and call out a name and lay claim to a player. Sometimes its the first time we hear about the said prospect, especially in the Oilers' case. No it's true, shining examples are Kristians...
[UPDATED] Lightning roster cuts; Tampa Bay reduces roster to 26

CHL Prospect Detailed Tracking 2011-12: Season 2 Begins
Editor's note: Sometime during September of last season, frequent commenter SumOil came to us with a bright idea. "I'd like to track all of the top CHL prospects for the 2011 draft, plus all of the Oilers' prospects in the CHL and break out all of their even strength production and add in some...
