GDB 17: some interesting line changes
Some interesting line up moves for tonight’s game. It looks like Craig MacTavish has decided to send two veterans a message
Analyze This
While the Oilers are satisfied with their start, it is way too early to think they are out of the woods and on the road to a division title.
Souray shines
With so much focus on the three-headed goalie monster, Sam Gagner’s slump, the MacBlender and Wanye losing another bet, hardly anyone has mentioned one of the few consistent positives for the Oilers this season
Put Hemsky on the PP, not the PK
With the Oilers finally getting some offence, and specifically their offensive leader Ales Hemsky, many are wondering why Hemsky doesn’t play more minutes.
Questions that need answers
The MacBlender is out again, although this time it’s on low rather than high.
On scoring
With the Oilers having a harder time scoring than Wanye’s sister at Buddy’s, it is time to wonder if an SOS from Springfield is necessary.
Woe, thy name is Oil
The Oilers might want to try a new pre-game routine, or get a new alarm clock because they have been snoozing through most of the first periods so far this season.
GDB8: Roli to take on the Bruins
Dwayne Roloson will get his second start of the season tonight.
Hemsky, meet the MacBlender
Ales Hemsky needs to play better.
Kids, Roli, hut hut!
Sheldon Souray skated today for the first time since being injured in Calgary on Friday.
Early season fast facts
For the first time since 1985, the Oilers are 4–0 to open the season, and more importantly they are 3–0 within the NW division.
Deslauriers’ due
It looks like the second head of the Oilers’ three-headed goaltending monster will make an appearance in Calgary on Friday.
