Oilers Game Day - Predators




Season Record: 21-13-4 Season Record: 24-8-3

Last Game: 4-2 Loss vs WildLast Game: 4-3 Loss vs Canucks



Preview


Because of the two straight losses, tonight's game is rather more important than it should have been. With our division and conference as tight as it is, the big lesson reenforced over the last week is that you simply can't have losing streaks.

Jussi Rebounds is between the pipes tonight against Tomas Vokoun, who is looking to be this year's first 20-game winner.

Word is that Le GG gets promoted to the 3rd line tonight. I don't mind that call at all. Georges has been pretty effective over the last two weeks. In the tiny minutes he has been getting, he has sure drawn a ton of penalties.

After watching them in person in Calgary, I have to admint that I kinda like Nashville. It should be an exciting matchup tonight.

I'm predicting a wild one that further muddies the goaltending situation - 6-5 Oilers in a shootout. Hemsky, Smyth (2), Bergeron (1), Laraque (1).

PS -- I think the entire Fenwick clan is out in the mountains, so I expect we will not have to suffer through his gloating about last night's comeback by the Flames.

DID YOU SEE THAT COME FROM BEHIND WIN BY THE FLAMES LAST NIGHT??? WOOHOO! NOW WE'RE FIRST IN THE DIVISION AGAIN! YAY!
 


I WAS AT THAT GAME LAST NIGHT AND WAS IT EVER GREAT! DID YOU SEE THOSE FLAMES IN THE THIRD PERIOD? IT WAS LIKE THEY WERE SCORING AT WILL!!!!!

ALONE AT LAST IN FIRST PLACE!!

Now that the Oilers have fallen behind, I find myself in the awkward position of actually wanting them to win tonight, as it will make the New Years Eve showdown even greater.

GO FLAMES!!
 


Man, what took you guys so long.
 


Will yesterday's comeback erase all memories of having four goals scored on you in the third period against the Kings?
 


You need a functioning brain stem to develop long-term memories. Or to tell a crap offence from a good one.
