That's a reach.

As a Flames fan looking for the party to continue, I can totally get behind that. I kind of hope Gagner or someone scores 5 goals, so they get back on the hype machine and no changes are made in the summer.

He actually didn't chose it, the Oilers assigned it to him. He actually made a comment during his first Oilers media scrum.
Quote:
Curiously, he’s been given No. 12 by the Oilers.
“I just got it,” he protested, knowing the connection to that number in Calgary and his former teammate, Jarome Iginla. “It’s quite a number, but I didn’t pick it. They gave it to me. It’s kinda special to wear that number, too.”

remember it was only 15 months ago, after they had their good run to end the previous season
and all their young guns got to play together in the AHL that sports illustraded had them 3rd in the league power rankings to start the season
3 Edmonton Oilers
Last Week: 25
Edmonton Oilers (32-40-10)
Check with me in a month or two, but it says here that they will get off to a great start -- which really ups the odds of getting into the playoffs. Why the reason for Oil optimism? Because Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Taylor Hall, Jordan Eberle and newcomer D-man Justin Schultz all played regularly during the lockout in the AHL and will be that much further along than the players who were limited to informal skates or shinny matches for charity. Eberle had 51 points in 34 games for Oklahoma City, while Schultz had 48 in 34. Granted, big questions remain in goal and defense, but what an offense this should be.

MacT will probably chew out Horak during the intermission.

Watching the Canucks this game you wouldn't think that.

Is Smyth really wearing the C for the Oilers tonight?
Neat but kinda lame. He was never the captain.

You guys have got to see a replay of the Bonino goal for the Ducks against the Kings. 1-1.

Does anyone know Morse Code? I feel like Linden is trying to send a distress call in this interview.

It sounds like he's sitting in the middle of traffic too.

I have no memory of Tim Hunter as a Canuck. I refuse to believe such a thing ever happened.

I never knew Burkie was already in charge of the Canucks when Linden was dealt to the Islanders (thought Quinn was still GM). Linden for McCabe, Bertuzzi, and a pick. Quite the steal for an over-the-hill Linden at the time.

Just so everyone remembers. On Trevor Linden's "special night" as Ron calls it, they lost 7-1, to the Calgary Flames.
