Players you miss from the dark days

[lakai17]

There was a time when Ethan Moreau was my favorite Oiler.

Back on the MGM line.

If I were to pick up 5 players from 2006-2015 period and insert them into the line-up, I would do:

Smyth-RNH-Eberle
Hall-MacDavid-Yakupov
Pouliot-Horcoff-Lander
Moreau-Letestu-Klinkhamer

Souray-Sekera
Smith-Klefbom
J.Schultz-Fayne

Brianne of Tarth

 

[McGreat One]

Laddy Smid for me. The guy gave his heart and soul for the copper and blue and it would have been nice if he was around when this team finally turned it around.

The OP specifically asks about post '06 SC run. Ulanov and Mironov didn't play for the Oilers during that time. Otherwise, I would have to imagine Mironov would be on just about everyone's list. Or at least, he should.

 

[SerbianEagle]

Post 06 run it'd have to be Steve Staios...

Prior to that, Norris Mironov

 

[Blue And Orange]

Definitely Cogliano, although I doubt he would turn into the player that he is today if he stayed in Edmonton. The Kevin Lowe-led Oilers is where promising prospects fizzled out.

He was a beauty.

Sutton

 

[SerbianEagle]

there were definitely some good characters here post '06. Watching that Sutton interview, you could see he would fight a tank barehanded for his teams cause. Souray as well. Gator and Staios...Rolie was also a very passionate guy.

Liam Reddox

 

[The Head Crusher]

Brianne of Tarth

Who is the Brianne the Beauty?

EDIT: Never mind it is Reddox, now I see it.

 

[Eytinge]

Liam Reddox

Toby Peterson.

 

[Morpheus]

Linus Omark. He'd look great riding shotgun with McDavid....just kidding

 

[MessierII]

Who is the Brianne the Beauty?

EDIT: Never mind it is Reddox, now I see it.

Pretty sure that's Lennart Petrell

 

[McDrai]

I think my favorite post 06 would have to be either Souray or Gagner in his rookie year
Oh, and MacIntyre ( back in 2010 when Hall and Eberle played their first game as Oilers I believe)
Forgot about Hemsky. He had dangles for days but was really frustrating at times. Still loved him though

That video makes me miss Doug Weight more than Mironov

 

[McMozesmadness]

 

[stratedge]

Every once in a while a guy comes along and you want him to succeed so bad, it hurts. The way Peckham hit, it was as entertaining as Hemsky's dangles. Seemed like his career ended so abruptly too...

 

[Funnymanrocco]

Marty Reasoner and Greene. Hilarious guys. Reasoner always looked lost and confused.

 

[tiger_80]

How come nobody is mentioning Ryan Smyth?

 

[BackhandToeyJoey]

Smid definitely.

When we spanked Montreal something fierce one year, 8-2 I think? Vish played unreal. Anyways, I remember post-game, Smid said something like "Yeah you know, Lub is good on the pp." He was super oblivious about it, but once he got it, he couldn't help but laugh.

I also miss Rollie and his wicked icings haha. Sometimes booting the puck out with his pads.

 

[Whiston532]

One thing I always loved was the various call ups we'd have when regulars got hurt, it's great in retrospect to look back and see names like Bryan Young, Alain Rouke, Charles Linglet show up. I wasn't crazy into e Oilers until the last few years, so I wasn't familiar with too many players outside of the regulars so i found it entertaining to see someone who to me was almost coming. Out from nowhere to play for stretches.

 

[Tarus]

How come nobody is mentioning Ryan Smyth?

Who?

 

[McStimperi]

Healthy Ryan Jones. The perfect bottom6 player.
