Welcome to Oilers Jambalaya. Beers & Jeers is a dual collaboration between Smokin' Ray and Paq Twinn. We hope you enjoy our Edmonton Oilers full game recap.
------------------
- It looks like the lines won't change, they will be the same as last game. Staios, Souray, Pisani, Peckham and Pouliot are all hurt and cannot play. Nilsson and MacIntyre are healthy scratches.
- Does it bug anyone else that Pittsburgh is using and advertising the "City of Champions" slogan as their own? It's pisses me off.

BAD TIMING PENALTY™
Denis Grebeshkov - Just when the team needed to press on for the win... you take a stupid tripping penalty at 15:49. Not cool.
------------------
GOAT WATCH™
(Smokin' Ray) Ethan Moreau - Did he even play tonight? He didn't get a penalty so it's hard to notice him. He really did nothing other than a sweet pass to Cogliano on the Oilers 1st goal. Check the stats. No hits, no shots. Just 1 giveaway and 1 takeaway. Yeah Goat!
(Paq Twinn) Robert Nilsson - He ate 3 tubs of popcorn and drank 2 Gatorade's. In the press box.
------------------
BEERS
Nikolai Khabibulin - He was awesome. He did everything but score the goals. I thought that he was maybe a little nervous in the 1st, but really came into his own for the rest of the game. Nice to see someone wanted to show up tonight. By far the best Oiler tonight. Great game Khabi. Frosty beer? It's a cold one... Cheers!
Andrew Cogliano - 58% on the dot tonight. That's a huge acclompishment for him. He's used to being under 40%. He scored a nice goal in the 1st and kept trying all game. I thought he did well. What is it with the 4th line? It turns you intoo gold. Good Job Cogs. How about a light beer? Cheers!
Dustin Penner - Once again he has almost a sleeper game while getting a goal and an assist. How is he doing it? Good job Penner. You can have a Pilsner. Cheers!
HONORABLE MENTION(S): Taylor Chorney (Again the rookie was good. Maybe he should stay around and send Staios packing?)
------------------
JEERS
JF Jacques - Only 3 hits? That's it? I'm starting to think that you were a 5 game fluke. Will that Jacques please show up? Boooooooo!
Lubomir Visnovsky - Trying to hard to do to much. He needs to just play his game. I understand that he's still a little gun shy with the shoulder. I don't blame him, but geez man. Your one of best guys on defence. It's a good thing the season is still young. Boooooooo!
Sam Gagner - While he did look good out there, he really wasn't. He lost every faceoff and was a -2. Now I don't understand where his game went. He was dynamite, now's he juggling it. I don't get it. Get better Junior. Booooooo!
HONORABLE MENTION(S): The Rest Of The Team (You guys need to not get out shot all the time. How about trying being the other team for once?)
-------------------
OUR GAME SUMMARIES
Smokin' Ray - I thought that the Oilers were pretty stinky. I can't stand these last minute finishes that always seem to follow this team. If it wasn't for Khabi, this game would have been a lot worse. I was a little surprised that Quinn was shuffling the lines in the 2nd. I mean really... why put O'Sullivan with 10 and 83? Penner goes there. Why does Quinn refuse to play him there? I'm sure the Oilers deserve a bag skate after that performance. Go ahead Quinn... do it.
Graham Martin - (He said this on Facebook tonight) Now that was a frustrating game to watch. I don't mind when they get beat by a better team, but the effort was not there at all tonight. They lost most battles, senseless turnovers by just not being strong enough on the puck, and no support, and no pressure. The hawks tonight played the kinda game the oilers need to play, speed through the neutral zone and PRESSURE! The forcheck, save for a few spots, was just not there tonight. And Hemsky needs to show me something. He wants to be the guy, but it sure doesn't look like it on the ice. So many giveaways, and so many shots blocked. And that chance in the second i think where he missed the net point blank, well, if you are a superstar, down in a game, you just don't do that. He needs to use his speed, and try moving the puck through the neutral zone for a change instead of carrying it himself and forcing his linemates to wait for him at the blueline. And the last thing that seriously needs work, is how the forwards drop down so deep in their own end and leave the points so wide open. It was like that from the first shift of the game. Ethan Moreau is the worst and he just chases that puck around whereever it goes when he is penalty killing and gets caught out of position so often. The pluses for me were Cogliano, had a very good game, lots of speed and one of the forwards that actually got a forcheck going, Penner with two points and so much hard work infront of the net on the grebeshkov goal, and Khabby was very solid other than the versteeg goal but even then i can't really blame him.
