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? It just gets worse. Sam Gagner is out with a lower body injury. Not sure what however. This team is dropping like flies. But, Dean Arsene it going to play in his 1st ever NHL game. It's been 9 years of plugging away in the minors and now he gets his shot. Good for him. So Gagner, Pisani, Chorney, Grebeshkov, Jacques, Stone and Pouliot are all not playing due to injury.

GAME HIGHLIGHTS
------------------
FINAL SCORE
Edmonton Oilers - 2
Columbus Blue Jackets - 3
------------------
BAD TIMING PENALTY
Ethan Moreau - This may come as a shock to you, but it was the Captain once again taking the BTP honors tonight. It was bad enough that Staios was sitting for two already, so Moreau didn't want to be outdone and decided to sit in there with him. Well guess what? The Jackets scored to take the 1-0 lead. Nice job Captain.

BEERS
Ales Hemsky - You could see it in his play that he was ready for this game. He played pretty darn good and it was nice to see. He played 23:00 minutes and had 3 shots. His puck movement was spot on and he seemed to try for the whole game. See what happens when you try... you score. How about a Frosty Black Label? Cheers!
Nikolai Khabibulin - Once again he was a stud. He did what he could and the game went to a shootout. I don't know what else he could have done. He was great. Miller Time? You betcha. Cheers!
Lubomir Visnovsky - Holy crap he's on fire tonight. He is one of the best skating defencemen that I have seen in a long time. He scores a goal and nets an assist. What else des he need tonight? A beer of course. Cheers!
Sheldon Souray - He looked like he was back to normal. He was doing the usual Big Sexy stuff like hitting people and taking shots. He had 2 assists tonight and played the most out of all the Oilers once again. I'm just glad he's back. Great game Souray. Pilsner in a glass? Cheers!
HONORABLE MENTION(S): Gilbert Brule ( He played one of his best games for the Oilers this year. He was motivated to beat these guys.), Shawn Horcoff (He's playing well with the hurt shoulder. But if it hurts too much to take a faceoff, then why is Quinn playing you so much?), Dustin Penner (He should have had an official assist for his screen on the Hemsky goal (but won't). He played a good game.), Ladi Smid (The Spaz was solid yet again. He had 5 hits and didn't make very many mistakes.)
------------------
JEERS
Ethan Moreau - BOOOOOOOO!
Liam Reddox - Your penalty was the root cause for the 2nd PP goal by the Blue Jackets. Not a great way to end a game. Booooo!
-------------------
GOAT WATCH
(Smokin' Ray) Ethan Moreau - He sucks. Trade him now! Need New Captain
(Paq Twinn) Robert Nilsson - Didn't Play
-------------------
OUR GAME SUMMARIES
Smokin' Ray - That was a disheartening game to watch. Just when the Oilers were looking like they could do well in this game, Moreau takes the BTP in the 2nd period. STUPID GUY! So with Staios and now Moreau in the box, the Jackets score to open the game and it eventually goes to Overtime and then the Shootout. And we lose. I'm getting sick of talking about Moreau. He needs to go. He drags the team down with stupid penalties and he takes no responsibility for his actions. I've never heard he say he screwed up. Never. He just blames the guys around him in a round about way. Pathetic.
As far as this team goes, they really need to buckle down and stick to the basics. You know... Hit, shoot, score. That type of thing. This isn't a bad team. It just has a bad leader. Leadership is action... not position. See you all Wednesday. GOILERS!
Paq Twinn - *cloud of funky smoke rises* What? What's going on? Who's there? *cough* fLamers suck! *lies down on couch and goes back to sleep*
