Panic Button Deactivated

You'll have to read my last blog to figure out the title, but suffice to say, the Oilers have ended their 3 game losing streak. With a 4-0 win over Vancouver (I know it's only Vancouver, but a win is a win and a shut out is a shut out!), the Oilers have maintained their grip atop the Northwest Division. Some may say this division is really tight (looking at you ATA, and no (gimme your finger) it's not tight like this)...but I would prefer to see the Oilers with Detroit like points. If you look at the Western Conference, the Ducks are in first with 46, Detroit in second with 37 and the Oil in 3rd with 30. If it weren't for the division seeding, the Oilers would be in 7th, just 2 points ahead of the Flames. I don't know about you but this does not make me all warm and fuzzy. The Oilers may have ended the streak, but many a thing must they work on.

And what did the Oilers do to piss of the Karma gods. As I sit here, it is currently 2-1 Oilers over Carolina after 2. The Oil are leading, but lost Jarret Stoll in the 1st, after he blocked 2 shots on the same Penalty Kill in the same spot within seconds. But he did make it to the bench by himself. What a trooper!! But how many more will go down to injury??
