Jared Crozier: Game Day: Oilers @ Senators - Can't win if you don't score

Kind of a rusty game indeed but still a decent effort. But okay, losing to the Caps can happen. Starting to become really happy with Condon.

Best thing of the night was that the Lightning, Panthers and Leafs didnt get any points.

Jared, what do you think the numbers are that Smith will be looking for after the season? Hopefully he stays

Unfamiliar territory? You do realize that the Oilers have been either in first in the pacific or close to it all season right?

I think he refers to last 10 years

5 years, $37.2 mill remaining on Ryan.

Ouch

Can they still do the buyout of 2/3 spread over twice the years?

$25 mill over 10 years? TB spent a lot to buyout Lecavalier, Flyers with Bryzalov and the Isles with Yashin back in the day

They need to call around and offer to pick up $15 mill to see if anyone would take him. Vegas team would be dumb just to take everyone's high salaries, like Ryan and Fleury

Not much surprises me in this crazy world these days, but if Melnyk were to ever pay anyone $25 Mil to not play for him, that would shock me to death!

I don't understand his cross checks after the hit, then didn't want to fight the oiler until the refs came in. Oiler guy did him a cheap cross check though

he suckered benning with his gloves on.
then got worked.

then had a tantrum in the box

Well, they scored last night at least...

Shades of last season where they had to sit on a lead for the whole third period. Maybe just a blip though, time will tell during this difficult stretch coming up

Stone looking great though.
