   Surgery still postponed so here are some stats. Again, I can't watch the games. What follows is my opinion.

   Oilers start out slow AGAIN. This time it's pitiful really. SJ scores, little less than 4 minutes later Hyman ties it up then a little over a minute later a stinker gets in and it's 2-1 SJ until LATE, LATE in the 3rd (18 seconds left) when Ekholm ties it up to send us to OT. Leon missed multiple shots or banged them off of posts including one empty netter he just couldn't hit. Time for target practice after practice boys (ALL OF YOU). Leon just 18 seconds into OT partially redeems himself by getting the game winner and the W for the Oilers.

   We made up a little ground on LA who lost in OT tonight but Vegas punted the Kraken 6 to 2 so no ground made up on them.

   Another game where they guys proved they don't hit almost at all, won't block a shot most of the time and don't seem to care until it's almost too late then they pull a hail Mary from God Knows Where to find a Win. The second goal by SJ I know Pickard wants back but he's stuck with it and so were we.

   Askarov was incredible in net for SJ and he will be a problem in the future.

   Take care all.

3. Oilers need to be better that was hard to watch.
