656 OILERS 1 JETS 3
Embarassing. Unacceptable.
A day after the Oilers walloped the Anaheim Ducks 8-2 they hand the Winnipeg Jets their fifth win of the season.
If the game was lost on the basis of the Oilers starting their backup goalie that MIGHT be an excuse. But as it was, Lalime gave up a somewhat respectable 3 goals on 26 shots.
No, this game was lost by a bunch of floating forwards thinking their superior skill would enable them to will the puck into the net. They forgot that skill is nothing unless there is a work ethic to complement it. The fact that Karel Rachunek registered more shots on goal than the likes of Lecavalier, Iginla, Zetterberg, Alfredsson, Gagne et al. is ridiculous.
These bums need to learn to play a full sixty minutes every night and to play with discipline. They better come out with guns ablazing tomorrow back in Edmonton against the Ducks or there will be hell to pay.
