Edmonton Oilers Tickets

Edmonton Oilers Tickets

The Edmonton Oilers are young and they are going to be having fun very soon. Fun, of course, means winning games and entering the NHL playoffs, something which might happen in this 2012-2013 season. A run of futility a few years ago infused the roster with enough talent to become one of the most dangerous teams in the league. Thus, Edmonton Oilers tickets to the Rexall Place are a great chance to watch this collection of incredible talent makes the move from the bottom of the standings in the Northwest Division to the top and a spot in the Western Conference postseason.

Who are these young guys? Taylor Hall, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Jordan Eberle, and Sam Gagner are the crew threatening to demolish the rest of the NHL. These four players are going to be approaching 100 collective goals this season. Hall and Nugent-Hopkins are taking on the first shift and Gagner and Eberle are taking on the second. Of course, these players can only score if the defensemen are able to play a little offense.

If the puck is stuck on their side of the blue line, then the Edmonton Oilers will never be able to take advantage of the young talent up front. Defenseman Ryan Whitney is the prime candidate to move the puck out of the zone. Now, the defense has more problems than simply moving the puck up and giving the offense a chance. It also has to give the goalie a chance. Devan Dubnyk has been the victim of this poor zoning, so much so that his ability to perform in the playoffs has been questioned.

Edmonton Oiler tickets for this season will be dependent on the young guns up front and the defense stepping up its game both in protecting the net and in clearing the zone. In fact, both are expected to improve, as the addition of right wing Nail Yakupov to the top line is going to give these guys some much needed experience.
