Komi is the most hated man on the team. Komi and Schenn were on the ice for that one. Number 8 makes a lot of mistakes almost every game and because he has a 4.5 million contract they have to play him instead of Keith Aulie and Franson. -_- Komi always seems to be out of place at the wrong time. He was on the ice for two of the goals Philly scored and he was in the box for another. Doesn't help considering the penalty he took was after the whistle as well. He's the biggest liability on the team and I have no clue as to why they're playing him with Luke Schenn who's play goes up and down. The last 4 games Schenn's confidence has been down and Komi isn't helping him. Komi and Schenn are both stay at home guys/hard hitters. They should be aligning them with someone who can actually move the puck. It's a mess. :/ | ||

We are playing tough, well defensively, generating lots of shots, getting the first goal, supporting the puck well, and not only that we are getting some damn good goaltending as well. For such a young team with growing young talent and 2 or 3 more waves of good young players coming up, I am just so excited to be an Oilers fan. It is just remarkable. If only Whitney and Hemsky could be healthy... That being said, damn Corey Potter has been so good this year. Kid has 4 points in 6 games, and is logging tonnes of minutes. Tonight against the Canucks the kid played 27:37 and was a +2. I keep looking for flaws in this kids game, for something that makes you go "aha! That is why he has been buried in the minors..." but I can't find anything. He is playing tons of minutes, making smart plays, has great positioning/Gap control, is a big physical body, and he is great at slowing down the pace of a game; honestly this guy seems like he is for real, the Rags really missed it letting him go for free. | ||

Corey Potter is 100% Tom Renneys idea. He knew this guy was good but NYR just kept getting good D man to keep him in the minors. Easily the biggest surprise of the year though. I'm really hoping Whitney's knee is fine and he misses at most 1 or 2 games. The collision didn't look too bad but a harmless play took Hemsky out for 6 games and counting. Speaking of Hemsky, someone needs to edit the urban dictionary and place a picture of him under "glass cannon". edit: Oh ya, Eberle finally gets his first of the season after having no less then a zillion solid scoring chances | ||

This is the NHL thread so I don't know why we're looking at lesser league stuff, but that looks like a legal hit. It's a stretch to even call this boarding if you ask me. When you see a headshot you'll know it. It's a shame that someone was hurt, but that just looks like a job hazard to me, just one of those things that happens. It looks to me like it's the guys left leg where the injury is. | ||

Renney is also a master of getting the most defensively out of a team that doesnt have a ton. Khabi obviously aint what he used to be, but I think he still has the skills to succeed with Jugglin' Tom at the helm playing his style. also, that hit is clean as whistle. Just unfortunate. It's dead center to the chest, he is gliding in and not striding and that's a hell of a stretch for a boarding call. Hope the dude's alright though | ||

Behind the net there you need to have your head up, and especially while you're in a vulnerable area of the ice. I mean you never like to see a guy lie on the ice like that, but I certainly don't think the hit was particularly malicious. You can't be staring at the boards behind you while you go to make a play, you just can't. | ||

He was probably just pissed having had family laid off by 7 or 8 of the different companies advertising on the kid's jersey. Really though - he probably just thought he was blocking a pop-up ad. Gross hit. | ||

He has him lined up for a long time, he hits him with his shoulders perpendicular to the other guys shoulders. Yeah he hits him in the chin but you can't blame a guy for being a foot taller.

The play in question is also charging, the player took several steps into him before the head. The play is also a boarderline boarding penalty. If that happened in the NHL the player would get at least 3 games, probably 5. | ||

It also isn't boarding penalty, the guy didn't even hit the boards on the play, how can you board someone without boards? The guy got hit with his head down while two opposing players were skating hard, it happens. It wasn't a blindside it, he didn't target the head. Hell, if he wasn't looking at the advertisements on the boards everyone and their mom's dog would say it was an excellent hockey hit. Hell, Taylor Hall took the same hit in the neutral zone last night from Alexander Edler, he went off and broke his stick pissed he had his head down. Just because the onus is on the hitter to ensure the play is safe you can't penalize guys because the other player put themselves in a dangerous position without enough time for them to react. When you are skating hard on the forecheck, there is no time to react to a guy being dumb and looking at the boards instead of up ice. | ||
