B&J #99 - Edmonton Oilers vs St. Louis Blues Recap (12/21/09)

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? Who's in? Grebeshkov draws back in and Strudwick sits out.

- What we have tonight is a battle of the crappy teams.  Both the Oilers and the Blues are at the bottom of the Western Conference barrel.  The loser of this game will be last in the West, nevermind the fact that St. Louis has one game in hand.  Oh the good times in Oilerville.  If you asked me if this is how I thought "our" Christmas would turn out, I would have laughed.  Who's laughing now?  Not me.  Happy Holidays. *sigh*

BAD TIMING PENALTY

Ethan Moreau - His end of the game lapse of good judgement was a huge dissapointment.  Even though it didn't really affect the outcome of the game, Ethan Moreau pulled a boner. He was knocked down by a clean hit by T.J. Oshie and responded with a trip.  Then like that wasn't stupid enough, he has to crosscheck him in the back.  And just when you think that was it, he tries to start stuff with the goalie Mason.  This guy is classy.  And he's the captain?

OUR GAME SUMMARIES

Smokin' Ray - I drove a lot of hours and the roads sucked. There is a good story to this and I'll be posting it soon.  That was the worst game of the year and the Oilers are looking very bad right now.  The fans are pissed and so they should be.  But where do we go from here?

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? Grebeshkov doesn't play tonight, so Strudwick draws back in.  Nilsson and O'Sullivan also change spots on their lines. Other than that, it all stays the same.

- CBC has a great new application that they are using for the HNIC brodcasts.  Go here to check it out. It's pretty cool.  I had the camera fixed on Quinn for the game.  He sure chews that gum.

FINAL SCORE

Washington Capitals - 4

Edmonton Oilers - 2

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

BAD TIMING PENALTY

None - Gilbert shooting the puck out of play right after the Gagner penalty should have been the BTP.  But watching the replay, it was a deflection.  The referee's were terrible again tonight.  I seen calls for both team that should have been calls.

BEERS

None - Not one Oiler deserved a beer after that game.

HONORABLE MENTION(S): Zack Stortini (He played pretty good.), Robert Nilsson (He also was pretty decent.  The guy sure has changed.)

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

JEERS

The Entire Team - You guys are really getting on people's nerves.  Seriously.  You blow another game that was yours in the bag after two periods.  WTF is going on?  WE NEED BETTER RESULTS! BOOOOOO!

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

OUR GAME SUMMARIES

Smokin' Ray - There isn't much to say.  The Oilers were winning up until the 3rd period.  Then the fell apart.  Again.  Deslauriers was looking hot to trot.  In the 3rd, he looked like a ECHL goalie.  It just gets a little old when you watch game after game, loss after loss.  The end is coming near.  It's just a matter of how soon.

Paq Twinn - The Oilers came out and did what they had to in order to survive the 1st period, against a very dangerous Capitals team. In the 2nd the Oilers scored twice to take a 2-0 lead into the second intermission. My computer crapped out on me at the start of the 3rd, and just in time, cause the Oilers crapped the bed in the 3rd. The Capitals, lead by Ovechkin, had tied up the game by the 7 minute mark of the 3rd. 10 minutes later they were up 4-2. I didn't see much of the 3rd but the Oilers must have had a brain crap like the last two games. When are these guys going to learn? For blowing yet another 2 goal lead and going down in a ball of flames, they get a D Game Grade.

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? The lines don't change for this game.  Despite Quinn snapping after the last game, he's keeping things the same.

- This game is another PPV.  Yay! More money spent on lackluster quality.

GAME STAT LEADERS

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

BEERS

Robert Nilsson - He showed heart and a never give up attitude.  I know... it's strange for me too.  Bobby had two highlight reel goals and looked like a force all night.  If it wasn't for him, this game would have been boring.  Good game Bobby.  How about a frosty Bud?  Cheers!

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

JEERS

The Entire Team - Well, except for Bobby Nilsson.  You guys sucked.  And sucked bad.  That was a terrible game and you all deserved to be bag skated after that.  What a waste of my/our money.  Boooooo!

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

OUR GAME SUMMARIES

Smokin' Ray - Who cares... they lost. 

Paq Twinn - The Oilers came out flying, taking everything that Quinn had said and applied it to their game. Six minutes in and the Oilers were up 2-0.  I was thinking wow, they've turned the corner and are becoming a good team. WRONG. After the Preds pull Pekka Rinne in favor of Dan Ellis, the Preds took complete control of the game. It seemed as though the Oilers just quit playing, with the exception of the 1st line, Nillson, Lubo and Souray, Smid was alright too. Everyone else was rather dissapointing. More bad line changes and stupid decisions with the puck led the Oilers losing another winable game. Game Grade: C-
