[OOT] January 4, seven games.

[djsFlames]

I was so pissed we couldn't squeeze a point out of the Isles on our own rink before a long break.

Of course Halak makes himself beatable for Edmonton. Ahhhh #### off......... Sometimes I'd wish we were out of the race entirely. Being in the race just adds in all the stress of getting results and helplessly scoreboard watching every night we're not playing. Why did the league give us so many games played in the first half vs everyone else in the first place? Weird.

New coach, shake up trade...perfect time for Oilers to win a few games and get out of that top 1-2 position.

As a write that NYI score >.<

Boychuk is going to get paid this summer.

[getbak]

Boy, he chucked that one in.

[Walter Reed]

Boychuk cuts the lead to 2-1 on a bomb from the blueline.

Yea, he is.

I didn't realize what an asset he could be on the PP until this year.

The Predators took a 3-2 lead but the Ducks tied it and it is now 3-3 in overtime.

Halak was very aggressive in playing the puck during the Flames game and is certainly no Broduer, Turco etc. I was sure we would get one from him turning over the puck behind the net or in the corner, haven't seen the play but I'm guessing that's what happened in this game?

[Walter Reed]

Edmonton kid if I recall, .... not that that helps ....

It ain't happening, Walter. I'd give up that dream pretty quick.

[getbak]

Tavares is a pretty good hockey player.

2-0 rush for Oilers. No shot on net. Typical.

Nice to see that Roy is fitting in so quickly.

Yeah, made a poor backhanded attempt behind the net, got his pocket picked by Klinkhammer and Hendricks cashed in.

I approve of this powerplay.

The change to coach Nelson hasn't translated to the win column but the Oil seem to be making small improvements from the Eakins regime.
