Oil prepare for Vancouver
On the day before the Howe Conference begins its story. Edmonton is in a buzz, as they prepare to host in this years Howe opener.
The Oil continue to fine tune before the play-offs with a 90-minute practice at he Rexall place, followed by an afternoon of game films. Once again special teams seemed to be the focus, as the penalty kill unit prepared for the Canuck power play.
If today’s practice was any indication of tomorrows line-up, it would appear newly acquired Iggy will start on the first line up front with Lecavalier and Morozov, accompanied by Hamrlik and Leetch on the Blueline and of course Brodeur between the pipes.
Oil news:
With the addition of Gary Roberts to the line-up, Tomas Plekanec was re assigned to the Roadrunners of the AHL.
Stephen Weiss continues to nurse a wrist injury and will likely be a scratch for the Vancouver series as he remains on the Oil IR.
