Episode Notes
Part 2 (of 2) of our mid-season look at the ongoing hot-button topics surrounding the Edmonton Oilers. Jim Matheson, Derek Van Diest and Craig Ellingson talk about: - the surprising Alex Chiasson, who came into Oilers training camp as a tryout replacement for Scottie Upshall, earned a contract and is on a scoring tear. - the impact of injuries to defensemen Oscar Klefbom and Kris Russell - the play of forward Jesse Puljujarvi, who has looked better since being called up from Bakersfield to work under Hitchcock. - and the hot seat Oilers GM Peter Chiarelli occupies and has been since last season.
