Beers & Jeers #112 - Edmonton Oilers Full Game Recap vs Carolina Hurricanes (2/1/10)



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.

------------------

- Who's Out? Who's in? From what I understand, Potulny was sick today and he did not play. Pisani also sat out and we don't know why. Stortini and Comrie draw back in. Alex Plante has also been called up and he will play in his 1st ever NHL game. He will play with Strudwick.

- Since it's a PPV, not many people are paying to watch this game. I'm a hardcore and since I needed to watch it in order to do the Beers & Jeers, I paid for it.

GAME VIDEO REPLAY



------------------

BAD TIMING PENALTY

None -

------------------

BEERS

Marc Pouliot - Wow! Talk about a breakout game. He scored the Oilers 3rd goal (game winner) and assisted on the Jacques (1st goal of game) goal and finished a +2. Not too bad. He also had 3 shots. Pouliot even found some time on the PK and the PP which means Quinn was liking him tonight. He needs to improve his faceoffs but played a good game. Feel like a cold one? Cheers!

Sam Gagner - Gagner had himself a good game. He was contributing nice plays and even squeaked a goal by Cam Ward. Gagner has been on a points rampage and thanks to that goal, it continues. He had 2 shots and a takeaway. Good stuff? Not really. But good enough for a Budweiser? Cheers!

Mike Comrie -  The boy in the bubble was might fine tonight. He made some real nice plays and really led his line tonight. He was the one "making" things happen. He had 6 shots and picks up an assist on the Gagner goal. Solid night out for Mono Mike. How about a can of Pilsner? That should cure what you have? Cheers!

Alex Plante - His first ever NHL game and he's thrown to the lions. OK. At this point in the season, every team is a lion. But Plante did pretty good. He didn't see any PP or PK time but did manage to play 12:00 minutes. Not only did he look OK out there, he picks up his first ever NHL point with an assist on the Jacques goal. Good for him. If that doesn't boost the confidence then nothing will. Frosty cold one rookie? Cheers!

HONORABLE MENTION(S): Gilbert Brule (I liked Brule. He played pretty good. He scored a goal and served up 3 hits.), Andrew Cogliano (I also liked him. he tried hard and was rewarded with an assist on the Brule goal.), Lubomir Visnovsky (He is now the Oilers best defenseman. He lived up to it. He played over 21:00 minutes and was a +1.), Zack Stortini (Storts drew back in after sitting for 2 games and made the best of it. He was banging and crashing for 4 hits and he added an assist.), JF Jacques (He scored and had an assist. What the hell huh? All this and he only played 10:00 minutes.), Ethan Moreau (He had a good game. It was a trange sight for sure. Adding Comrie ure helped that line.), Shawn Horcoff (He also had a good game with Comrie. Watch for Quinn to stick with this line.)

------------------

JEERS

Jeff Deslauriers - Maybe I am being a little harsh, but his 2 goals that went by him were weak. Those were shots you should have saved. For that reason alone, Booooooo!

HONORABLE MENTION(S): Taylor Chorney (Now it's totally not his fault, but he was burned at least 3 times tonight.  However, he did have a team high 5 blocked shots and played OK. He just needs more experience.), Denis Grebeshkov (He had 3 giveaways and I don't expect anything less from him. Sure he played pretty good, but he needs to stop doing that.), Dustin Penner (His penalty was lazy and pissed Quinn off. He at times had that fire to compete, other times it was gone. At one point Quinn had him benched.), Robert Nilsson (He wasn't great tonight at all. I've seen him better.)

-------------------

OUR GAME SUMMARIES

Smokin' Ray - Finally a win for the Edmonton Oilers. Do you know how hard it is to write about a stinky team? You can only say so much before you start repeating yourself.  The refs only blew one call and that was the Comrie call. He didn't even see the Canes player coming. Pure accident. Oh well. The Oilers gained a lead and held on to it for a full 60 minutes. That might have been the best full game they have played in months.  All I can say is that it was worth the PPV money. Finally.

Paq Twinn - He missed the game because he is boycotting the Oilers PPV's for the rest of the season. Can you blame him?

For Heavens Sakes, What Is Wrong With the Oilers?


As my first official post on Oilers Jambalaya, I will discuss what all Oilers fans have been scratching their heads about since the end of November: the struggles, and why they are happening.

First of all, the struggle is obvious. Being able to finish the job. Countless times over the past few months have the Oilers had the lead (sometimes by multiple goals), or have been tied in the third period. But hey, they've got the lead, so who cares? They're just going to sit back and let the goalies do all the work because they have definitely won the game already. That is what seems to be the mentality right now. Prime examples of this were one, against the very offensive minded Washington Capitals, and two, against THE DEFENDING STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS Pittsburgh Penguins. The Oilers, if I'm not mistaken, had shut out, and shut down Alex Ovechkin and the Capitals, and had a 2-0 lead up until the third period. But hey, they're going to win, because they have the lead. Except, not. They lost. And the same thing happened against PIT.

So, why is this happening? We have many excuses, with the injuries and etc. But, quite frankly, I do not know. and I don't think anyone knows for sure; heck, I don't even think the players know! But, I mean someone could assume what the problem is, they are just giving up in the third. That's it. Plain and simple. Not to mention, they haven't received the best effort in goal, IMO. Injuries are not an excuse to lose 12 games in a row. But, it depends on what you think. If any fans want to believe that injuries are the true problem to this disaster, that's fine. For all those who want answers, I guess what I am trying to say is they are few, if not none. But, if the Oilers snap this skid tonight against the Flames, their fans are going to be very angry, and that's how we like it ;)

GOILERS!

GAME VIDEO REPLAY



------------------

BAD TIMING PENALTY

None -

------------------

BEERS

Ryan Potulny - He played a good game. When most of the Oilers looked like they were drowning in the deep end, Potulny wasn't. His goal wasn't sweet by any means, but it was a goal. Great game Potsy! How about a cold one? Cheers!

Andrew Cogliano - I liked Cogliano in this game. He has shown that he has the ability to be a gret player. Last night and the other games he's played with Gagner, he's been good. That's what happens when you move him off a line with slugs. Good stuff Cogs. I like it. How about a frosty beer? Cheers!

HONORABLE MENTION(S): Sam Gagner (I liked Gagner. He was an offensive master. He didn't score but had/created some great chances.),

------------------

JEERS

The Entire Team - Wow! Another loss. Surpised? No. Booooooo!

HONORABLE MENTION(S): none

-------------------

OUR GAME SUMMARIES

Smokin' Ray - Grebeshkov was the worst Oiler by a long shot. His relapse into complete stupid mode was funny, yet very embarrasing. If you watched the game, you would have seen how bad he actually was. Horcoff was another bad Oiler. What is going on with this guy? Dustin Penner played with two guys who were flying and he looked like a guy with a piano tied to his ass. How is this possible when you are the #1 go to guy on this team? Since the Olympic rosters were announced, he's been the pits.

This team sucks and it get harder to want to cheer for these guys. But what else can we do?

Paq Twinn - Not a good game, of course you wouldn't get that if you only looked at the stats. The Hawks played with the Oilers in the first 40 mins, like a cat plays with a mouse. It was hard to watch, really hard, the Oilers were lucky to not be down by 6 after 2 periods. One day when this team grows up, I hope they're like the Hawks because they are a treat to watch.

A State of Shock / Edmonton Oilers Version



Life's not all rosy around the Oilers Nation as of late. The Oilers have had a couple of games lately that could have been the Oilers first win of 2010, but they choked instead. Several times over.

The more I talk to people around town, the more depressed these people are getting. "Oilers suck!", I'm told. True. That's a little hard to argue. They do suck.

See, since the team has went on a two month skid, the average fans are not watching the games anymore. They don't care and nor should they. It's hard to get pumped up for a game when you know they are going to get killed. Like the Chicago game coming up this Tuesday. The only question will be not whether the Hawks can beat the Oilers, but rather by what goal margin will be when the Hawks mop the floor with them.  How exciting is that? Unless you are a Hawks fan, not very.

I think that once the Oilers pull together a win, we will see some smiles back on peoples faces. For the most part, I think we all accept the fact that we are going for the Dive For Five. So losing comes with that. But to not have one single win in 2010 is pretty lousy. Just one win every so often would be nice. At least they have been trying hard.

The season started off so great. Remember how great that was? I was such a gloating jack ass, spreading my Oilers glory with everyone I know on Facebook and Twitter. Ahh... those were good times. Now where are we? I'm begging for one stinking win. Sad.

The Edmonton Oilers right now are GP50  W16  L28  OTL6  PTS38

I'm curious what the PPV numbers were like for each game this season. I'm going to guess that there has been a slow decline in viewers. I still watch every game, but I know a lot of people that simply are not paying for anymore games this season. They have had enough.

So what's the point of all this Ray? I don't know. *shrugs shoulders*

I guess I'm just in shock.

Paq's Thoughts

WOW! What a stinker, but I guess that is to be expected when the top line is Potsy, Pens and Nilsson. I mean, in the off season all 3 wouldn't have been missed if the Oilers dealt them. The Oilers had their moments but the Avs were there to bury every chance they got. The Oilers didn't. Welcome to the rebuild. Be prepared for more of this, as it will get worse before it gets better. Patiance will pay off. Game Grade: D

#106 B&J Edmonton Oilers vs San Jose Sharks Recap (1/16/10)



Welcome to Oilers Jambalaya - An Edmonton Oilers Hockey Blog. The Beers & Jeers is a dual collaboration between Smokin' Ray and Paq Twinn. We hope you enjoy our Edmonton Oilers full game recap.

------------------

- Who's Out? Who's in? That's a good question.  Brule and Pisani are really sick and won't play. Horcoff is also sick but the Oilers have him in the lineup.  Even with Horcoff and Strudwick in, the Oilers are still one guys short.  It's a little shocking that since the Stockton Thunder (the Springfield Falcons ECHL minor team) is only an hour and a half away, they didn't call up a guy to fill the vacant spot.

- Here the Oilers have not won more than one game in the last 14 games.  That alone is disheartening. Ugh!

GAME VIDEO REPLAY



------------------
BAD TIMING PENALTY

None - It's funny. Just as I was shaking my head that Gagner took a penalty like that in the 3rd, O'SUllivan scores the Oilers first shorthanded goal of the year.  Maybe it was a good timing penalty?

------------------

BEERS

Sam Gagner - Sam was great.  He was all over the place and really did a good job at controlling the play during his shifts.  He and Cogliano made a good play to each other, then Gagner fires it across to Grebeshkov who scores.  Very good chemistry between those two (13 & 89).  While his line did get burned on a goal, it was the Thorton line so we kind of seen it coming.  All in all, a great game for Gagner. He deserves a nice cold beer. Cheers!

Andrew Cogliano - Mr. Speedy was also really good.  Another reason why Quinn needs to never play him with Moreau and Stortini.  Cogs was flying and played the wing really well.  He could have did a little more in the physical department but it's OK, he made plays and generated chances.  How about a frosty Bud? Cheers!

Patrick O'Sullivan - He has been really good for the last few weeks.  It's really nice to see from him.  He's a guy who I really liked in the first few weeks, then he had his slow decent to my naughty list.  Then he became better. Just like that.  He scored a nice goal today and even tossed out 3 hits. I think Patty O' needs a Mug O' Beer. Cheers!

The Entire Team - You guys suck! Boooooo!

OUR GAME SUMMARIES

Smokin' Ray - It was the Sharks, what did we expect? The Thorton Line and the Setoguchi Line killed the Oilers. If it wasn't for Gagner, Cogliano and O'Sullivan, the Oilers would have really gotten killed. *sigh* I gues we better get used to it. It's going to be a long last half of the season.

Paq Twinn - Sick and missed the game.

------------------

- Who's Out? Who's in? No player changes as the roster stays the same as last game. The lines change but not the roster.  Strudwick is the only healthy scratch.

- This is the 100th Beers & Jeers that I have written.  I'm happy to make it to 100.  It's a huge accomplishment for Oilers Jambalaya. YAY! *balloons fall*

GAME SUMMARY SHEETS

(click to enlarge)

------------------

BAD TIMING PENALTY

Shawn Horcoff - The dumbass took a lazy hooking penalty and cost the Oilers some momentum. In fact all it did was give the Wild momentum.  Terrible leadership on his part.  How come the younger players never take any BTP?

------------------

GAME STAT SHEET

(click to enlarge)

(click to enlarge)


------------------

BEERS

Robert Nilsson - All in all Bobby played pretty solid.  I liked his goal and he didn't really make many mistakes.  He played limited minutes but managed to make an impact. Good for him. He's been good since returning from injury.  Good game Bobby. How about a cold beer? Cheers!

Jeff Deslauriers - Jeff came in and played a heck of a game.  He was the Oilers best player and kept them in it right up to the end.  It's just too bad that the Oilers just couldn't score tonight or this could have been a win.  Stand up job Jeff.  It's Miller time... Cheers!

Sheldon Souray - I liked how he played.  He was a lot better this game rather than the last one.  He ended up +1 and played 20:06 despite sitting for 5 for fighting.  I liked that fight as well.  It was a couple of old balls slinging the knuckles.  I always love it when Shelly shows his emotion.  I like the way he leads. How about a frosty mug of Stella? Thought so... *high five* Cheers!

Tom Gilbert - Gilbert has been pretty good for the last while and he hasn't got much credit.  I liked they was he's been playing and I guess so has Quinn.  I was a little surprised that he led the team with 25:15 of ice time.  Wow! That says a lot from a guy like Quinn.  He picks up an assist and blocks 3 shots. The guy even had 2 decent hits.  Who the hell is this guy? Care for a Budweiser and a new pair of shoes Gibby? Cheers!

HONORABLE MENTION(S): Sam Gagner (He was pretty good.  He had 4 shots and went 7W-4L=64% on faceoffs.), Ryan Stone (Had a good fight and ended +1),

------------------

JEERS

Patrick O'Sullivan - Were you expecting two other guys to be here?  Yeah your right O'Sullivan... it's not your fault. Booooooo!

Shawn Horcoff - No shots? A -2? No hits?  Umm... I think you need to do more than that in order to not get booed.  Brutal bad game by Horcoff.  He topped it off by taking a stupid hooking penalty with 5:00 minutes to go.  How is the team supposed to build momentum when they have to kill off you penalty? Boooooo!

HONORABLE MENTION(S): None

-------------------

OUR GAME SUMMARIES

Smokin' Ray - What a crappy way to start Christmas.  Thanks for the loss guys.  And here I thought that this game would be a good one... you know... it's the 100th Beers & Jeers.  The Oilers played well enough to win but couldn't score.  It's too bad because I really thought that they could do it.  But they didn't and now it's time to focus on our own families.  Let's just try and not be depressed.  so let's all get drunk and have a great Christmas.  Happy Holidays everyone.  See you all on Boxing Day.

Paq Twinn - Hmm....uuuhhhh.....well......ummm, how do put this delicately?. For the 2nd game in a row, the Oilers were out played by (no disrespect) a team that should be below us. When I say should be, I mean ideally. This team just proved that everyone, that has said how inconsistently brutal this team is, was RIGHT. Like really, how do you win 5 in a row on the road then come home and absolutely shit the bed and wind up losing the next 5 games. Only in Edmonton could you possibly say that you weren't surprised. It really is unfortunate that Mr. Tambellini has some SERIOUS thinking to do, during the holidays. But its time to fish or cut bait, sir. Game Grade: D

Merry Christmas everyone.

B&J #79 Edmonton Oilers Recap vs. New York Rangers (11/5/09)




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.

------------------

- Who's Out? Horcoff and Souray.  Horcoff has shoulder problems and will be out 7-10 days (from what I know) and Souray skated yesterday and today so that's good a good sign.  He will still be out for awhile.

- When is Deslauriers going to play again?  How is he going to play 20 games this year when he's seen very little action so far this season?  The team stinks right now anyways so why not?  They may play harder with the back up in net.

- I still can't believe that my cable bill is going to kill me next month right before Christmas.  4 PPV's in 6 games.  Why?  And the NHL wonders why people watch the games for free on their PC's.  And the worst part is... we pay $13.95 for lackluster efforts.  PPV's are always bad games for the Oilers.  I just might start watching them for free too.

BAD TIMING PENALTY

Ethan Moreau - Just when the team is trying to mount a comeback, you push a guy down and the puck is no where near you.  WTF were you thinking?  Did you not notice that the team was sucking bad anyways on the PK?  Or is this your way of taking the team (bull) by the horns?  ps. It didn't work.

------------------

GOAT WATCH

(Smokin' Ray) Ethan Moreau - He did nothing to contribute. Plus he tops it off with the BTP of the game.  Baaaad effort.
(Paq Twinn) Robert Nilsson - He also did nothing to contribute to this team.  Well... other than some bad errant passes.  When is he going to go on waivers?

------------------

BEERS

Sam Gagner - He played like he was 200lbs.  Quinn wants guys to go to the "tough" areas and Gagner does just that.  He was the guy that was taking the beating so the team might have a chance of a screen or a rebound.  I really think that this kid is going to be the "man" for the Oilers in the next 2 years.  He has a ways to go, but when he gets there he is going to be scary good.  Good effort tonight Gags.  Budweiser?  Cheers!

Patrick O'Sullivan - He did everything he could tonight, well, other than score.  But he did get an assist on the Comrie goal.  He really needs to watch his turnovers.  He had 3 tonight.  But I really like his full out effort that he shows just about every game.  If this team is going to suck, then it's hard to blame guys that try hard.  A mug o' beer?  Cheers!

Taylor Chorney - I just don't see him getting demoted now to 7th guy when Smid comes back in.  And honestly, I don't see him losing a spot when Souray comes back.  I'm expecting a trade from the Oilers soon.  This kid is for real.  He played a real solid game tonight and had 3 blocked shots.  He was flawless.  Frosty beer time?  Cheers!

Lubomir Visnovsky - He's so damn good that it makes me wonder why LA gave him up.  I'm glad we have him.  I've never seen anyone catch Gaborik like that.  This is our best guy on D until Souray gets back.  He scores a beauty while taking 4 shots and had 2 takeaways and 2 blocked shots.  He's freaking great.  Enjoy a cold beer Lubo. Cheers!

HONORABLE MENTION(S): Ales Hemsky (He had the moves and the energy, but faded half ways in the game), Tom Gilbert (He played a lot and looked ok), Denis Grebeshkov (Played well, he just sucked at penalty killing.), Andrew Cogliano (He was flying out there. He managed 6 shots but couldn't score.)

------------------

JEERS

Robert Nilsson - He managed to be the only person on the team that ended up a -1.  Yay!  Seriously, get rid of this guy.  He makes the most asinine plays that I have ever seen.  Blind passes DO NOT WORK.  How is he getting minutes and MacIntyre gets 1:40?  I say to the minors with you. Booooo!

HONORABLE MENTION(S): Ethan Moreau (He had the BTP and was invisible but led the team in hits. Go figure?), Fernando Pisani (Bad penalties and a bad game.)

-------------------

OUR GAME SUMMARIES

Smokin' Ray - I'm getting sick of this already.  WTF Oilers?  This is getting old.  Does Quinn need to crack the whip and shake up things again?  I'd send Nilsson packing and send a message to the team that enough is enough.  Either crap or get off the pot.  This team will never win unless all the players are going to show up.  These last 7 games... the Oilers have not.  Boooo!!!

Paq Twinn - Another bad effort by the Oilers. How many of these games before Tambo makes a move. The 1st line played good tonight, and the 2nd had their moments, the D weren't that bad either. Everyone else had bad games. How long will it take, to learn how to clear the puck. The wingers are too deep, trying to help, and then they give up point shots. Its a vicsous circle that has to stop for this team to succeed. Game Grade: D.
