Good morning, i don't even know why i am up this early, it sucks. Anyways, so today is hockey frenzy day, with all 3o teams in action. Hallelujah. The Oilers are on the road still facing the Cunucks in Vancouver, the first meeting of these two teams this season. Should be a very interesting game considering the Oilers are on a 2 game losing skid, and the Cunucks on a skid of their own losing their last three games. Who will find a way to win? Is this a matchup that could eventually turn into a battle later on in the season for the division? Or are these just two mediocre teams battling it out so at least one gets a win? All i know is, is that the Mac T blender is out again and we have some different lines for tonights matchup. Bobby Nilsson will get a big chance on the first line, and the second line is something ive felt has been a long time coming with big Dustin Penner drawing up beside Cogliano and Gagner. With Pouliot centering the third line alongside Cole and Moreau. Fernando will be missed in this game purely for the grit he brings to the team. We may see some fireworks coming from the fourth line with both Stortini and Macintyre patrolling the pond. Could turn out to be quite the war with the Oilers, Cunucks games always being heated already. Here is hoping the Oilers can turn their fortunes around here and get back into the win column and close the skid at two games. I feel Hemsky is due for a big night and would watch he and Erik Cole closely, as they both havent really been performing to their abilities as of yet. Cole will be back on his natural rightwing side to boot. Anyways, Go Oilers Go.
