I'm not organizing the Oilers circle jerk until they get their 3rd win of the year against a team in a playoff position.
Even the Townsend Tigers could put up wins against the teams the Oilers played in that stretch.

Despite the tattoos and tough image he tries to portray, Ference is not even close to resembling a tough guy who will be used by a coach to send a message. He gets his shots in during spontaneous exchanges where he can catch guys off guard. If anything, Eakins avoids the match up with Stempniak as he has something to be fired up about. Best case for the Oilers is that they keep the match up and hope to draw a penalty from Stempniak.
