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? Holy crap it just gets worse for the Oilers. Khabibulin is out now because he has back problems. Is this the beginning of the end for Habbi this year? Let's hope not, that's the last thing this team needs. However, Torrie Jung from the Oil Kings has been signed to an amateur tryout so he could be the backup for Deslauriers tonight. That's twice I've seen that now by the Oilers in the last few years. It looks like Jacques is in after missing quite a few games. So we have Nilsson, Pisani, Chorney, Grebeshkov, Khabibulin, Stone and Comrie are all out due to injury/illness.
- Deslauriers is looking sharp in his orange and blue retro gear. Even the mask looks old school. Damn I miss the 80's.

GAME HIGHLIGHTS
------------------
FINAL SCORE
Chicago Black Hawks - 5
Edmonton Oilers - 2
------------------
BAD TIMING PENALTY
None - Ethan Moreau's penalty would have been a BTP, but in my opinion, that was not his penalty. He was pushed into Huet and was wrongly put in the box.

------------------
BEERS
Dustin Penner - He was the only Oiler capable of winning a game. The rest of the guys were so bad it's not even funny. Penner uses his body so well with the screening that it's helping the team even when he's not rewarded with a point. But tonight he had a goal and an assist. The fans couldn't ask for better tonight from Penner. It's Bud Light Lime time. Cheers!
JF Jacques - 7 hits in 9:01 of ice time. Why didn't Quinn play him more? It makes no sense. I didn't think his game was that great to deserve a beer, but having 7 hits in that little amount of time is definitely beer worthy. Have a Black Star w/paper bag. Cheers!
HONORABLE MENTION(S): Shawn Horcoff (In the grand scheme of things... he was ok.)
------------------
JEERS
Sheldon Souray - *sigh...* The Big Sexy was the Big Unlucky tonight. On the second goal he was protecting the net and swiped the puck out of the air and into the Oilers net. Ouch! It was just not a good game for him at all. Boooo!
Lubomir Visnovsky - Where did the all star go? He was terrible tonight. His turnovers were horrendus and his sloppy play rubbed off on Smid. Four giveaways is brutal and should be subjected to the coaches anger. The defense corps is the big reason why we lost this game. Boooo!
Ladislav Smid - He really blew it for the team early with the turnovers (he seemed to have more than the stats give him credit for.) The guy should be a baker instead of a hockey player. I couldn't believe that this was the same guy that I've seen at every other game. This guy is terrible. Boooo!
Sam Gagner - Looked like a junior player out there. But worse. At first I was going to blame the guys he played with tonight. But it wasn't then. He sucked. Bad. Boooo!
HONORABLE MENTION(S): The rest of the players who sucked (You guys sucked!)
-------------------
GOAT WATCH
(Smokin' Ray) Ethan Moreau - I don't know. He was average but still was called on a late game penalty. Does that stuff just follow you around or what?
(Paq Twinn) Robert Nilsson - Did Not Play
-------------------
OUR GAME SUMMARIES
Smokin' Ray - This was one of those that really was pain full to watch. Everything that could go wrong, did go worng. I sure hope that the team can forget about this one quick. Ugh! That was a brutal game. *Other than Penner*
Paq Twinn - That was depressing game to watch. I'm not sure what the worst part is, that the Blackhawks play the way I want the Oil to play, or that the Blackhawks represent another team that has hit bottom and come up faster then the Oil. Why are we always bottom feeders in the standings. Every year Oil fans watch as another team gets better and passes us in the standings. When are the Oilers going to get better, every year we stumble along between 7th and 12th. I and all other Oil fans have been waiting for the Oilers to be better for far toooo looonng. Sometimes I wonder why the Oilers haven't been blown up and rebuilt, now it would be difficult to do that with the salary cap. Anyway, bad game by the Oil tonight, they had nothing going all night. Good game by the Hawks, they made us look exactly like we are. Game grade: D
