I also love a good Wikipedia entry, which I’ll admit is an odd thing to say. But if you go deep enough down the rabbit hole, you can usually find some weird stuff that some agitated editor has managed to slip into the record, quite possibly after months of debate with a differe...

GDB 7.0: Oilers Need to Manage the Puck Better (5 PM MT, SNW)

The Edmonton Oilers aren’t pastry chefs. They need to significantly reduce their turnovers. The Oilers have committed the fourth most turnovers/60 (17.92) through their first six games. Turnoveritis has spread throughout the lineup, and combined with too many errant and missed passes, it is easy to see why they’ve lost three consecutive games and have…
