Lowetide: Writing Off O’Sullivan

By
December 18, 2009

It looks like the Oilogosphere has made up its mind about Patrick O’Sullivan. He’s been an Oiler for over half a season and hasn’t delivered close to his established level of ability. It’s my belief that if we took a long look at O’Sullivan’s successful seasons 05-06 in the minors and 07-08 in the...

Gare Joyce reflects on the effects of getting cut in juniors

By
December 8, 2009

I remember Mike Comrie and Matt Zultek tearing it up in the last exhibition game on the eve of the cut and yet they still got the early wake-up call. “Sour” doesn’t start to describe their reaction. Comrie has gone on to a pretty decent NHL career, although not one distinguished by team success...

By
December 4, 2009

When O’Sullivan was acquired at the trade deadline, his acquisition along with a second round draft pick in exchange for impending UFA Erik Cole and a 5th rounder was widely considered a master stroke by Oilers‘ GM Steve Tambellini. “We got two years plus of O’Sullivan for 20 games of Cole … what a steal!” went...

Rangers Analysis: Grading the Blueshirts thus far – Blueshirt Banter

By
December 3, 2009

Brian Boyle: I expected more scoring out of him and currently he is doing little more than taking the body occasionally. He always talks about how he needs to score more but he only has 2 goals.

O’Sullivan is the worst defensive player on the Oilers right now – Cult of Hockey

By
December 1, 2009

Patrick O’Sullivan plays the easiest of defensive positions, the wing, and yet he leads the team in defensive errors. This guy is leaking goals. Now, I’ve had a few folks tell me I’m too hard on him, and I should be patient, he’ll start scoring. Let me make this clear — I’m not so...

By

Several still-not-ready-for-prime-time players have posted some underwhelming numbers at both ends of the rink: Robert Nilsson, 1 goal, -12; J.F. Jacques, 2 goals, -9; Patrick O’Sullivan, 4 goals, -11. Ouch, ouch, and more ouch. via Not ready for prime time – The Copper & Blue. Evernote lets you save all the interesting things you see...
