Got to admit, even a beaten down, back to back, Carolina road team can look half decent against edmontinfoil.

Are we watching the same Carolina team? They look worse than they looked yesterday.

Here's what the NHL Rule Book says about handling the puck...

Rule 67 - Handling Puck

67.1 Handling Puck - A player shall be permitted to stop or “bat” a puck in the air with his open hand, or push it along the ice with his hand, and the play shall not be stopped unless, in the opinion of the Referee, he has deliberately directed the puck to a teammate in any zone other than the defending zone, in which case the play shall be stopped and a face-off conducted (see Rule 79 – Hand Pass). Play will not be stopped for any hand pass by players in their own defending zone.

It depends on how you define "deliberately directed the puck to a teammate". I'd say he definitely deliberately directed the puck with his hand to put it front of the net, but there wasn't necessarily a teammate that he directed to.

Does anyone else ever notice that Sportsnet Oilers broadcasts pretty much cover the team like a TLC reality show?

Lol Hurricanes tie it. The Oilers can't ever just help themselves. Carolina has looked dead all night and now they will have life.

oh Carolina ... sha ba ... bumbaclot

oh Carolina ... sha ba ... god you suck

[MisterJoji]

The Oilers goal horn sounds like a train that got kicked in the balls. Why is it so high pitched?

bahahaha

[Arya Stark]

Oilers making a game out of it.

Avs now up on the Canucks 5-2.

The Canucks are hit and miss this season so far, more miss when they play half decent teams.

[getbak]

Ha ha, stupid Quinn saying the Hurricanes are pesky and just won't go away. They seemed to go away pretty easily last night.


5-2 Avs over the Nucks now. 1G-1A for Iggy so far. Now, he just needs a fight for another Gordie.

[Ashasx]

Nice to see Iggy put up points, even if it is with Colorado.

Also, I absolutely despise the Lightning.

Skinner's voice sounds like he hasn't gone through puberty yet.

He doesn't really look like he has either. Must get carded a lot.

Carolina is actually outshooting the Oilers? Yikes, poor Oilers.

Yes, but not outplaying them. The Oilers have controlled most of the play and still find themselves tied.

On another note, Eddie Lack looking pretty bad.

Yeah, I'm not watching the game, just saw the stats. Still, being tied and outshot by Carolina on a back-to-back after they got shellacked last night doesn't look good for the Oil.

missed call gifts the Grease a goal over an AHL team. Oilers needing reffing help.
