NO!!! Fistric and Smid are somewhat similiar but the Fister is more physical and thus far proven he gets hurt more. Smid is the type of players the oilers need to block shots and sell out his body to prevent a goal, the types of things Staios or Jason Smith used to do. That kind of player helps ya in the post season......If they ever get there again.

This. Im on record saying Gator may have been the most underrated Oiler ever.

Have yet to see one of those yet, I did have touch my first penis the other day and I didn't get aroused so I know Im not gay at least.
And I would welcome the chance to sponge bath that delicious angel.

Ya I know, just had to throw a little jab at you.
I can't remember if I asked, are you doing the licensed or registered program?

I said the same thing after hockey the other night and got ripped apart for it too
LPN. It is a 2 year program in Alberta. The RN degree is 4. I am old so opted for the 2 years which turns out to have been a good decision for two reasons. 1-I will have a job sooner, and 2- any more time spent with immature 18-21 year old girls in the classroom and the general fricking idiots, would make me go postal. Plus there is a bridge program through an online course to get the RN in about a year.

I would prefer to upgrade or get someone better than whitney, don't think losing N schultz would be too detrimental to the team, but need some veteran stability on the team. Horcs has shown us that recently.

Both Schultz and Smid skate far better than Fistric and have better vision. #1 option by far for me is to keep all three.

Indeed. Replacing Potter should be by far priority #1 on the blueline to-do list.

Will do. You like blonds, brunettes, some type of Asian immigrant? And how stupid do you like em?
Remember kid, you appear to be the exception, not the rule.

I don't mind our D. Just need a top pairing guy to bump everyone down a spot, and effectively make potter a #7

True, but even if we can't find a replacement for Whitney I might rather Peckham or Klefbom than Pooter.

I am putting zero faith in Klefbom being on the big club to start the year. If he is or gets a call up I will consider it a huge bonus.

I would only put money on the ABC's. Even then if you prefer proper spelling and grammar, you may not like what ya see.

Disney On-Ice could use some more o' that.

Well coached and a very specific system in place.

That being said they are not the Detroit of old. Losing Lidstrom was painful enough but Stuart and Rafalski too? No team can come out of that unscathed.
