The Oil began today, what they hope is the road to the 2006 Cup.
The Oil hit the ice this morning with great anticipation of the first round match up with the Canucks. Today’s practice was fairly light, as special teams seemed to be the focus. The Power play looked awesome as Vinny, Iggy and the machine can really move the puck around, and the late addition of Ricci adds some good grit to the PK line.
Gary Roberts was removed from the IR and participated with the team today, so we expect he will be a go for Thursday game 1 in Edmonton.
Ray Emery was called up from the Roadrunners to experience the play-offs at the CPHL level, Ray is not expected to see any game time.
