The way I see that is the Oilers thought that they can't have three possible starters, so they traded one away and decided to get some grit into their squad. That's the only explanation I got.

I'm upset for you. What the f*** is going on up there? Tell me how good Ben Scrivens is? Seriously I thought it was fishy seeing a light and two cars parked at the Oilers head office. No Janitor or security guard drives an Escalade! My only hope is Dubnyk flourishes in a defense first team proving to Katz that defense is the problem and Lowe and MacTavish are the biggest idiots out there. Basically pulls a Mike Smith of once he leaves a defensive wasteland and goes with the Coyotes, he's one of the world best. Also Bob McKenzie yesterday that the Oilers wanted to draft Murray in the 2012 draft but someone in the higher up's overrided the decision last second proving that rumour once and for all. Seriously f***ing poisonious management and an owner who doesn't care about his team as long he's still making money. Someone really needs to explain playoff revenue to him and how it keeps franchises like Nashville or St. Louis or Phoenix afloat. Scribbles is pretty good. Granted, he was probably made to look better by the defense in front of him, but he did a great job overall taking over when Quick got injured. Admittedly, he did trail off a bit towards the end of his stay here, but I liked him a lot.

And it gets worse. Scrivens is a UFA at the end of the season. Unless Dubnyk flat out told them no I won't be signing with you next season and Scrivens and Eakins are tight then maybe they are trying to salvage a bad situation. Still the fact both Scrivens and Bryz are both UFA's end of this season is a huge gamble with Bachman as the 3rd stringer. I really hope they aren't hoping Jonas Hiller signs with the Oilers during the off season because no talented starting goaltender would want to sign with a team that has no defense. Bryz only signed here because literally nobody else would sign him. Not even f***ing Las Vegas.

Thanks for coming out, Canucks. These two games for the Canucks just proves what a bunch of f***ing assholes they really are. Gooning it up did nothing but make them look like chumps. But, hey, moral victories are just as good as real ones, right?

These Flyers games are going to give me a heart attack. They comeback again in the final minute and tie it at 3

Rangers defeat Wings 1-0
Lundqvist and Howard had one the better goalie duels that I have seen in a while

For the 1st time since 76, the Rangers shutout the Red Wings. Zuccarello scored the only goal of the game.
Also, the shutout is #48 for Lundqvist. 1 more and he'll tie Eddie Giacomin for most in Rangers history.

But, hey, moral victories are just as good as real ones, right? Did they dig Darian Hatcher out of the mothballs, he was king goon. People loved him but he was dirty and hurt people on purpose all the damned time yet he seemed to have his own set of "Jordan Rules" when he was on the ice. Meanwhile he plays with mike Modano and Steve Yzerman, two of the most gentlemanly players around.

These Flyers games are going to give me a heart attack. They comeback again in the final minute and tie it at 3 Wondering how long they can keep this up; this is becoming an every game thing for them. Devils tie the Avs at 1. Devils attempting to balance out how badly they play against teams with great speed with how they tend to start remembering how to play hockey once they get to the third period. Makes one wonder what would happen if they showed up for, you know, the other 40 minutes most nights.

They've scored ONE all year, and that was Boucher's on his first night up.

Welcome to Edmonton Ben Scrivens. Those are mighty fine Dubnyk numbers. Wait whats that? You faced 33 shots on goal and many of those shots came from point blank range without any defenders covering the shooter leading him into a open shooting range? Why of course the goalie is the problem! This guy is such a savior that we have to rush him literally into a game rather then have some time to orient himself. It's not like that losing franchise without a GM with Six Rings is doing the same for Dubnyk. No we are better then the Nashville franchise cause they don't have Six Rings like we do!
