Feeling a little blue that I don't have any chance of catching Brandon during the regular season, so I thought I should put up a new avatar to reflect my mood. And I've got another one all ready for my playoff push. Yippee!

I would appreciate then - if you are considering yourself out of the running - if you would ask your team to keep things small thing week. You know, so they can save all those points for the playoffs.

Well we will leave it to Edmonton to help dash my hopes Smile

It has been a hard year for hockey in this city. I have to admit I have barely had a palate to watch the games this year. The future may be bright but that will depend on the people in charge of hockey decisions for the Oil not being such.... when you have nothing nice to say...

The Oil actually aren't a bad team.
- blueline is pretty good
- need a tender
- forward supporting cast is in place

They're missing a 1-2 punch up front. Dats to Zetts. Crosby to Malkin. Thornton to Heatley.

Imagine how good Hemsky would look if he was the third guy on the big unit. Marleau-ish!

Then, good chance all the other pieces would start to jig into place. Blueline wouldn't spend 50% of the game in their own end, and would look even better.

Your Oil could use Taylor Hall!

I was at the Edm/Pit game last night and they actually played fairly well for 40 minutes. But this team is in a world of hurt for the next couple years, and I'm sort of okay with that.

As long as management can move some contracts, or bury them if at all possible, then bring in the kids and let them grow and make mistakes together. Build a new team culture and create a bit of cap space to bring in a vet or two once the team really get rolling in a few years.

The big question might be whether they can actually move any of the guys that need to go - guys like Moreau, Horcoff, maybe even Staios. There are a few albatross' out there that are killing the team with their cap space, but also - and this is just a hunch - but with their attitude.

Also, once the Eberle/MSP/Omark/(Hall/Sequin) types come into their own it will be essential to find the right guys to complement them. Size is a big issue with this team and they will need to get a few more big bodies down the road to grind down the opponent when the skilled lines are not out there.

We'll see what happens. Adding a top end draft pick is fine, but asset management is such a huge part of the new NHL and the Oilers have demonstrated an inability to do that well thus far.

It'll be interesting (and scary) to see a core of players like Hemsky, MPS, Eberle and Hall/Seguin all playing on the same team. They just need a big, skilled body to played with those two dynamic duos and they could be difficult to stop.

I truly think Penner is going to be that player on this team over the next few years. He's slowed down his production as of late but I was reminded once again of how far he has come in the past couple years specifically in just his play style. He was almost impossible to knock off of the puck along the boards and in the corners and 9 times out of 10 he was able to bully himself to the net. He had a mini breakaway, he drove to the net, he was doing a lot of the little things that create open space for himself and for other players.

I have been very very down on that Penner trade for a long time, but about a month ago I really started to believe that he is for real and I am even more convinced now that it's the case. Even as I type the words I can barely believe I am saying it, but he's just such a different player from when he first arrived in Edmonton.

Penner could indeed be a good one. It will depend, I suppose, on how much money he wants to renew his contract.
