Just another day on the job
Another game, another win. It's getting old hat really.
Some great signs tonight:
Some great signs tonight:
- Hemsky was dynamite (1 goal, 3 assists)
- Smyth was great (1 goal, 1 assist)
- D-Vo was excellent (8 shots!)
- The powerplay looked solid (3 goals)
- Only 3 giveaways and 14 blocked shots
- With a lead going into the third, they didn't sit back and, in fact, they outshot Nashville 13-9
- Getting two road wins in tough buildings on back-to-back nights after a 7 game slump is quite simply huge
- 2 points up on the Flames with a game in hand (assuming they lose tonight as expected)
- Why are we dressing guys like Semenov, Harvey and Laraque if we are only going to put them on the ice for 2 or 3 minutes. I think we can find better uses for that money.

At least we played Semenov instead of sitting him in favour of Ulanov.
The Oilers sound like they have turned the corner. Semenov last I saw him play was looking very dicey with the puck. Looks like he has lost confidence. He is a big guy he needs to play like one. Go Oilers... looks like MacT's job is safe for awhile.... As for BG he needs to sit is butt in front of the net and practice tipping pucks for an hour a day he may get some ice time... I don't think anyone can move him with out taking a penalty
I don't mind Ullie. And he can certainly provide more than 2:22 of icetime.
The alternative is to keep playing Pronger, Bergeron, Staois, Smith and Cross for 20 plus minutes each.
I don't think it is too much for Pronger, but can these other guys really keep it up for an entire season . . .
More toilet talk:
"If we were a little luckier, we'd have three wins on this trip,'' said Bergeron. "But we kind of (pooped) our pants in Colorado."
