JUSTICE !




Of the 3 powerplay goals that the Carolina Hurricanes scored I don't feel that one of the penalties was a legitamate call. So, then justice was served when Steve Staios was called for tripping, and Fernando Pisani stole an erant pass and scored short handed to send the series back to Edmonton in front of a jubulent Buhler house. Take that "Zebras !" Justice is served !




O.T. Winner !

No disrespect to the disabled !




(By the Way... A Great Movie!)


but the athletes from the movie "The Ringer" showed more heart than the Edmonton Oiler's last night. They (the Oiler's) served up a snake sized steamy coiler... that reaked of

  1. lack of character
  2. lack of finish
  3. lack of motivation
  4. lack of power play goals 0/5

if they manage to lose one of the next 3, they wont have "Roli the goalie" or M.A. Bergeron as a scape goat, they'll have to look no further than themselves. It's time to buck-up, and claim confidence, self dignity, and the winning attitude that killed the Wings, Sharks and Ducks ! Go Oiler's Go !


Fired a dud !

Conklin/Markannen

We have a dilemma people ! Mac T said that who ever started game 2 would be the starter for game 3. Clearly Jussi Markannen wasn't up to the challenge. Should Mac T put Ty Conklin in now ? You decide !

Yes

No

Who Gets the Start ?



Ty Conklin & Jussi Markannen
*
Who ever gets the start will have to be sharp, and mentally focused ! I'm not pinning last nights loss to Dwayne Roloson, though he didn't make the big save when we needed it... I've got a couple keys as to why they didn't get it done
  • Bad Ice- Bad bounce during power play that led to Williams shorthanded breakaway
  • Marc Andre Bergeron's stupid check on Ladd that put him into Roloson
  • Jason Smith/ Ty Conklin miscue behind the net (though I blame Jason because Ty was in the game cold)
  • Shawn Horcoff -4 rating
  • Samsonov/Stoll/Dvorak= O points, 5 total shots on goal
  • Oilers 1/7 on the power play

Come on guys, gut check time... Be the team that beat Detroit, San Jose and Anaheim, I know you can put game 1 behind you !
