Welcome back, loyal readers, to the Oilers Rig’s Picks of the Week series. Each week our writers scour the interwebs looking for the greatest hockey blog posts around. I hope we can help you end your Sunday night with some hockey enlightenment.

Without further adieu, here they are!

 

Jeremy’s Pick

An Inconvenient Truth by Pat McLean April, 7th

A rant of epic proportions, for the ages. Just read it.

Edmonton Oilers farm bench boss Todd Nelson on his coaching philosophy by Jonathan Willis April, 8th

Jonathan Willis has the best information from OKC and he’s hit the jackpot with this series of articles about Barons head Coach Todd Nelson. I’ve long been an advocate of promoting Nelson to the NHL and this series just reinforces my thoughts on why it would be a good decision for Eakins to add the farms head coach to his staff. Since Nelson joined the organization in 2010 we haven’t seen a full access article or series of articles like this. Great job by Willis and wonderfully honest answers from Nelson.

 

Rom’s Pick

Is it time for Edmonton Oilers to give up on Anton Lander? Not just yet, suggests “Detroit Model” by Bruce McCurdy April, 10th

The title says it all. Is it time to pull up stakes on Lander , or should they hold on a little longer?

 

Shawn’s Pick

The Choice By Jonathan Willis April, 10th

This post is about Nurse vs Klefbom for a roster spot next year. It’s a choice many have been and will be talking about. We can’t have to much inexperience on the blue line next year, no matter how talented the prospects are.
