Edmonton Oilers at Ottawa Senators, Nov 10, 2009 7:30 PM EST
Well, tonight is the first game between these two teams since Ladislav Smid, Andrew Cogliano, and Dustin Penner became members of the Ottawa Senators after that blockbuster trade for Dany Heatley.
Wait, was that all just a dream... like Super Mario Bros. 2?
One former Senator we will see in an Oilers jersey is Mike Comrie, who will likely be picked up at the trade deadline by Ottawa because, well, that's what Bryan Murray does.
Here's a scouting report on the Edmonton Oilers, courtesy of our friends/enemies at Copper & Blue:
I've written this way too much lately, but Edmonton is an injury-riddled and flu-ravaged team. Tonight in Ottawa, they will be without Sheldon Souray, Shawn Horcoff, Ales Hemsky, Taylor Chorney and Robert Nilsson due to injury. The entire team is just on the verge of recovering from the flu as they, unfortunately, had the morals not to steal vaccines from little kids.Jeff Deslauriers and his frantically hectic style will be in goal for the Oilers, in only his third appearance of the season. Edmonton will have to be excellent on special teams to have a chance in this as they
will go with a lineup that includes Liam Reddox, Ryan Potulny, and Ryan O'Marra.Expect the Senators to outshoot the Oilers by 10-15 shots.
As mentioned in Silver Nuggets, Jesse Winchester and Shean Donovan are sitting tonight, while Ryan Shannon hits the third line and Chris Neil plays on the fourth. Ottawa looks to continue its amazing play at home against the Oilers, who have not won in Ottawa since 2002. Hopefully, Ottawa stays out of the box and draws a few more powerplays than usual to help this team bust out of the slump they've been in for the past two weeks.
As always, join along for the fun in the comments.

Also, I bet we don't out-shoot them
largely because we’ll be on the penalty kill for the entire 2nd period.

That was sickitating
I wish Michalek scored so that Spezza would have gotten some credit for the pas.

Where's Parisi? and Jeff? And various others?
I know Peter is kickin’ asses, but nobody else has explained themselves.

Yeah. I think he said he’s glad the pressure is off Cheechoo because he’s a great goal scorer (!…?) and he likes the chemistry he has with Spezza and Alfie. I basing that off of the questions he was asked, and not what he said.

Let's play GM
Murray mentioned another forward.
Who could we get for Kelly and Picard?
by Tony S on Nov 10, 2009 8:42 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
I don’t think we could get more than a prospect for them. They simply have no value.

Cogliano, Penner, Smid.

Ottawa gets the first shorthanded opportunity for Michalek. Clouston’s reaction: “Son of a bitch!” Awesome stuff.

Michalek gets two SH goals. Same PK. Count it.

Penner knocking Ruutu's stick away and not getting called was dumb.

Michalek was clearly tripped.

by Tony S on Nov 10, 2009 10:10 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Gagner scored for Edmonton. Kovalev scored a beauty backhand deke for Ottawa.
Penner & Alfie miss.
Whoever it was for Edmonton missed.
then JASON SPEZZA comes in flying, pulls a nice deke and somehow gets his stick around the goalie’s pads, despite it appearing to be physically impossible. puck hits off the goalie and in.
Sens win in OT!

My play by play was WAY better, but the page crashed, so you miss out. Darren’s is passable :) but it was O’Sullivan that scored the first one, not Gagner.
Comrie was the third shooter for Edmonton, He did this weird little move like he was going to flip the puck high off the tip of his stick — you know, like flipping it out of the grass — and then switched to his foreand and tried to go five-hole. It did not work.
Then, exactly like Darren said, Spezza goes fliying in, waits, waits, waits, runs out of ice and banks it in off the pads. It was glorious.

A win is a win is a win. But this one was ugly. Leclaire let in three Gerberesque goals, no joke. And then he was brilliant late in the game and in the shootout to get the win. Go figure.
