This is surely much more fun that hoping for a lottery pick!
Is there any player that gives more and works harder than Zack Stortini. Tonight he earns first star with the Gordie Howe had trick? Looked like a sniper on the wrap around, finding the far corner.
Every time he scores you cheer just a little louder! I am sure his goals have the same effect on his teammates.
Word comes out tonight that Dustin Penner is under consideration for the Canadian Olympic team. I still think he is a long shot but it is a compliment to even be mentioned in the same breath as the players that will make roster. Canada could field two medal contenders.
Deslauriers is now looking more comfortable, still too easy to score on him high (not considering the Hedman goal tonight as that was just a great shot) but he is looking confident.
Everybody seems to now be buying into Quinn's system, a much more simpler game. Bend but don't break, it's ok to dump the puck out or lose it but you better work hard to get it back.
Still a lot of work to do to fight themselves back into playoff contention but this team is battling, competing and working hard every night. Great to see.
Go Oilers go!
