I believe he has flown back to Edmonton. It doesn't appear to that Hemsky will play tonight, but could return on Saturday. Adam Lippman Thu, 03 Jan 2008 09:32:10 -0500Oilers Souray http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog.php?post_id=12133 The Oilers lost again, this time 2-1 to the Ducks. Without Ales Hemsky in the lineup, the Oilers created very little offensively and mustered a paltry 16 shots on goal. The powerplay barely had a sniff in its 3 opportunities. MacT is going to announce Hemsky’s timeline for return shortly. Ethan Moreau will play Saturday. Let’s hope he can bring some passion to the team.

University of Alberta goaltender, Aaron Sorochan has been signed to a contract and will be the backup. Expect Deslauriers to be called up after the game. Sanderson is a healthy scratch, and Stortini will be drawing in. My question is why. Maybe MacT is expecting Sutter to have his guys play a rough game.

Could this be another Katz offer that is going to be rejected?

The D will remain the same as it has been. Both Tarnstrom and Souray are on the trip, and one if not both may play tomorrow. Stoll and Torres will be back in tonight, starting the game with Thoreson. Stortini is out, and Reddox was sent back down. Let's see how they respond. They have been saying all of Mon, 10 Dec 2007 17:15:58 -0500Oilers Stars http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog.php?post_id=11525 The Oilers played their best game of the year on Friday night. I think that is fairly obvious. They skated, they forechecked, the played hard, put the puck in the net, got good goaltending, and had great penalty killing. Horcoff and Hemsky have both elevated their game, and have displaying very good chemistry. The Ducks are a very physical team. Throughout the entire game, they were looking Sun, 02 Dec 2007 16:53:56 -0500Oilers Ducks http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog.php?post_id=11355 Joni Pitkanen has been very impressive since his return from knee surgery. He skates with long, graceful strides, and is able to lead the rush whenever he sees fit. He is also able to get back on defense with the same smooth stride. He brings a different element to the Oilers backend.

This was the Oilers best effort in quite some time, but they still needed the shootout to win. They had more offensive chances and pressure than they have had in the last week. And how about the powerplay? It went 3 for 8, and had several chances that didn’t go in. What was most surprising about the powerplay is th Wed, 21 Nov 2007 00:51:18 -0500Oilers Canucks http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog.php?post_id=11105 The Oilers won a scoreless game against the Canucks last night, when Ales Hemsky scored in the shootout. It was an exciting game, with plenty of scoring chances, but both goalies stood tall. The Oilers were thoroughly dominated for the first two periods, but Garon held them in. In the third period, the Oilers had several chances to take the lead, but failed to bulge the twine.

This was one of the most entertaining games of the year, and for the first time since the second game of the season, the Oilers won in regulation. There were a plethora of scoring chances, but for the first time in recent memory, the Oilers goaltender outplayed the Flames’ goalie.
