Quiet, you, you're just on a high from your Leafs stealing a victory over the Bruins last night. I'm not expecting Samsonov to come in and plop down thirty points in his last twenty games or anything like that. But from what I saw last night, granted I was half asleep, the guy was barely on the ice. He played ten minutes five on five and only another two on the PP. If you're bringing a guy in to supply offence wouldn't it be prudent to play him? Our rookie d-man Matt Greene nearly had more ice time than Sergei did last night. This is the stat page I was referring to.

I wasn't speaking strictly points, Alan. If you check out the super stat sheets at the NHL website you'll notice he didn't even register a shot on goal last night. In fact, aside from his ice time Samsonov had no measurable stats in any category, which was what I was referring to.

Believe it or not, I actually fell asleep on the couch during the second period . I just woke up a few minutes ago and my first waking thought was " What was the score?". Color me relieved. Now its another BOA coming up on thursday. Big points up for grabs at a critical time. It looks to me from the stats sheets Samsononv did a good job of turning invisible tonight, hopefully that's not a sign of things to come. That ties Edmonton for seventh in the west with the horribly slumping Canucks. I still see them making the playoffs, however, but can agree with Hurly in saying that the Kings will need a miracle to stay in the race. Way to go Marty Reasoner!!! Playing with Glen Murray has got to be a lot of fun.

Either way I hope nobody was expecting a new episode tomorrow. This shows we'll have to wait another week.

I was thinking more along the lines of giving you less of a chance to spam your postcount today.

Why is this thread still open?

Actually the hit you're looking for was very similar. Chara was behind the net playing the puck out, I believe, and Ovy pretty much ran over the immobile freak of nature on skates. He didn't quite flop as much as Colin White did in your video, but the fact that the future Calder winner didn't lose a stride made it seem more impressive to me.

Howzabout the two of you both leave and never come back. This forum has enough religous zealouts and people who like to type their name at the bottom of each post.

I'm still playing Fight Night Round 3. This time around I created a welterweight southpaw who uses the Philly Crab Shell defense, which is great for counter punching. It's going a lot smoother than last time around.

Not to derail your fine arguements, but did any of you see Ovechkin lay out Zdeno Chara last night? Wowsers

2 wins in the last 10 games. Now, more than ever, I need to don the rally caps for the Oil. On the plus side Samsonov had a beautiful goal last night, and not as many turnovers. I will refrain from talking about our defence, however. At least the Flames lost as well.

I will survive / Cake and I would like to dedicate this song to the one and only Lou Gutman, PI

How does Onimusha 3 stack up to the rest of the series, Paladin?

Weezer / Perfect Situation

Sweet? No, the taste in my mouth is most definately bitter after watching our defensive core go to sleep again tonight. Up three to two in the third, the Blue Jackets tie and then go on to win in the last minute of OT on a truly ugly goal. On the positive side Samsonov had a good first period, but not a lot after that. At least the team should get credit for making the final playoff spot in the west a lot more attractive to other teams.

I remember a few years ago somebody got ahold of one of Ozolinshs' paystubs. He had forgot it in a hotel room and someone copied it and sent it around. He was making a ****load of money playing for the Avs. Tonight I'm jazzed for two reasons. For starters Sergei Samsonov makes his debut with the Oil and secondly the game is available on Centre Ice. Sweet.

I watched Serenity again last night. And on the subject of 28 Days Later, I can barely recognize Cillian Murphy as the Scarecrow and that bad guy from Red Eye.

If Hurlshot is at the Oilers/Sharks game right now I'll be soooooo jealous. The score may be 4-2 for the Sharks right now, but this has been a very entertaining game. Great back and forth action. Radek Dvorak has played his best game as an Oiler tonight arguably during the second period and the same could be said for Ville Neiminen in the first. During the second intermission (when the score was still tied at 2) the PPV crew treated us to a little jem from a miked Jarret Stoll. dashes to the net "D-VOOOOO!!!!" scores on beautiful one timer, celebrates with Dvorak "I love you D-Vo!" linemate Raffi Torres skates up two the pair "That was a beautiful ****ing goal, man" Best line I've heard during an NHL telecast this year. Now Go Oil!!

I think that Ottawa just got a lot better with Tylor Arnason and Morrison. And the 'Nucks made some deals to solidify their MASH unit defense. I knew I should have taken today off. Edmonton really has two solid lines now. I just wonder how the PK will hold up without Marty spelling a lot of minutes for Peca and Horcoff. Ah well, the RPM line was the best checking line we had since Marchant/Grier/ Moreau.

And I'm gonna vote XBOX since my POS computer couldn't run K2.

Those are cool Ros, but you need to add a few of your old avatars. I always liked that one where you looked like you had an eyepatch.

I too am glad to see Samsonov in Oiler silks. However, Alan, don't forget that he is very, very injury prone. But if there was ever a player suited for Edmonton, he's it. And despite the fact that Reasoner never put up great numbers he is, as Alan said, a class act. Just lately he took a Pronger slapshot in the ear, went off for thirty stitches and came back in the same period. That's cojones. I tip my hat to you, Mr. Reasoner.

And this has been a pretty weak trade deadline day. Here is where I've been getting most of my info from. It looks like Nashville picked up Brendan Witt for a draft pick. That's no suprise. Take on some salary you bastards!

I watched Rocky II last night. Was number 3 the good one?
