Welcome to Oilers Jambalaya - An Edmonton Oilers Hockey Blog. Beers & Jeers is a dual collaboration between Smokin' Ray and Paq Twinn. We hope you enjoy our Edmonton Oilers full game recap.
------------------
- Hemsky, Jacques, Smid, Souray, Horcoff, Pouliot, and Stone are all injured so the Oilers called up Ryan Potulny and Liam Reddox. Both will play in this game.
- I really am getting concerned with all the games that they have Khabibulin playing in so far. He's only supposed to play around 55 games and he's on pace for a lot more than that.

GOAT WATCH
(Smokin' Ray) Ethan Moreau - He was average. Nothing I could really get mad at. But seeing a guy like Potulny, it makes me want to get rid of him that much more.
(Paq Twinn) Robert Nilsson - He played ok. He had an assist and probably didn't piss off Quinn much tonight. But he still sucks.

------------------
BEERS
Tom Gilbert - He actually looked like a legit NHL player tonight. He made very little mistakes and was actually good. Like real good. I was shocked. He scores his 1st of the season and also picks up an assist. Stellar performance for a guy that has not been good in my eyes this year. It's about time. How about a Molson Canadian? Cheers!
Ryan Potulny - For a call up he rocked. He scores on the PP and picks up an assist. He was really good. Maybe it was just the excitement of being called up, but he sure looked ready for the chance. He's even rockin' a Movember mustache. Sweet. Great stuff tonight Potsy. How about a first ever beer from B&J? Cheers!
Patrick O'Sullivan - I was glad that he at least picked up an assist. He's been busting his hump this year and has been snake bitten for the most part. He took three of shots and really tried to do all the little things right. He had 3 blocked shots and played an enormous 22:18 of ice time. It think he's thirsty after that game. How about a frosty Coors lite? Cheers!
Sam Gagner - With Horcoff out, Gagner steps in and shows why he is the future of this franchise. Not only did he pick up an assist, he ran the PP with ease and dominated in the faceoff circle. Wow! The guy stands up once again and says "Here I am, take notice". Great game Gags. It's Miller Time. Cheers!
Dustin Penner - He just keeps adding to his point totals. Two more points tonight with a goal and an assist. Am I surprised anymore? No. Penner for Team Canada!!! It's Bud chuggin' time. Cheers!
HONORABLE MENTION(S): Zack Stortini (The big guy started the emotion early and played well.), Liam Reddox (Not a bad night for the MacT fart sniffer. He picks up an assist and had a team high, 4 hits.), Mike Comrie (The Duffman played good. But like I said at the beginning of the season, he's only good in the first half of a game.), Lubomir Visnovsky (He was good. He maybe missed Smid out there a little. He's just such a fast skater it's crazy.), Jason Strudwick (He was physical and played ok. 2 hits and 3 blocked shots), Steve Staios (+1 and an assist. He does that and 4 blocked shots. Where's the real Steve?), Andrew Cogliano (He scores a goal and breaths a sigh of releif. The Oilers need more games like this from him.)
------------------
JEERS
Taylor Chorney - He played ok, but finished the game a team worst -3. Maybe it was because Quinn has a lot of confidance in him right now and he was out a lot. But to beat a team 5-3 and still end the game at -3 stinks. That means you were on the ice for every goal against. Not a good night in my books. Booooo!
HONORABLE MENTION(S): Nikolai Khabibulin (He was caught out of his crease a few times. As good as he's been lately, he wasn't all that hot tonight.)
-------------------
OUR GAME SUMMARIES
Smokin' Ray - That was a much better game from the Oilers. It was their effort level. They actually had one. It's about freaking time. It's kind of sad when you realize that Reddox was the hit leader on this team tonight. Seriously, what kind of damage could he really do? Habby (I seen it on his helmet) didn't look great tonight and so it's lucky that the team potted five goals. But a win is a win and I/we should feel good once again. GOILERS!
