GDT: Edmonton - Chicago - March 20th

[langway05]

ilers: - :hawks: Preview and can be caught here: ilers: PPV, CSN-CH (HD) with the puck drop at 7:30pm CDT.

Chicago (37-22-10) lost 4-3 in overtime at Columbus on Wednesday to fall to 3-7-2 since winning four in a row.

"Obviously, the way we've been playing, it's good to get a point," said Chicago's Patrick Kane, who had a goal with an assist against the Blue Jackets. "But you want to go in and win that game. So it's disappointing not to get two."

An extra point could have helped Chicago, which fell out of fourth place - the last spot that carries home-ice advantage in the first round - in the Western Conference after Vancouver beat St. Louis 3-0 on Thursday to move ahead of the Blackhawks by one point.

Facing Edmonton (34-27-9) could give the Blackhawks some confidence heading into this contest.

Though the Oilers are seventh in the West, they've been outscored 15-3 in losing the previous three games to the Blackhawks. Chicago hasn't swept a series from the Oilers since 1994-95.

Kane has a goal and three assists against Edmonton this season.

Time for the Oiler fans to chime in I think!

I cant believe how absolutely terrible the National Anthem singer was.
If you gave me a case of molson, I could have copied that performance!

As for the game, I have a feeling this is the Oilers night to redeem themselves against the Hawks....

And fitting, cause the Oil just scored

Oilers lead 1-0


GO OILERS GO!!!!

 

[Cam98]

[Cam98]

[Orca Pod]

[Cam98]

3-2 oilers goal by moreau i think, because it never touched penner in front of net.

 

[OilersRule]

You all heard the ref right...."Good Goal"!

Not a spectacular way to go up 3-2, but we'll take it!
If any other Hawks players want to score goals for us, please feel free

wow gagner is on fire, weak breakaway goal but hey hes on fire and everything is on his side now not like start of season...

[OilersRule]

That was a super long breakaway pass to Gagner.
Im sure happy I subscribed to the PPV...great game so far!

GO OIL in the third!

 

[OilersRule]

Ben Eager is going down...mark my words!
What a gutless player! That was an unacceptable cheap shot he gave Reddox.

 

[Cam98]

brutal 25 secs left pp and no one shot on goal, pass pass pass they dont understand on how to shoot?, as much as hemsky is a good passer on pp, hes gotta quit looking for the stupid pass to horcoff and shoot.

 

[Cam98]

yes oilers win a must needed game in a shootout 5-4 with goals by sully and kotalik both beauties thank you roloson for another great game =)

 

[OilersRule]

Wiining streaks like these and at times like this makes one happy to be an Oiler fan!

Im looking forward to Sunday's game in Minny!
