Detroit Red Wings at Edmonton Oilers, Oct 29, 2009 8:30 PM CDT
Detroit comes off a much needed win over the Canucks, scoring five times on one of the league's elite goalies Roberto Luongo. They'll need some more of that type of offensive production again tonight against the Oilers. Nikolai Khabibulin will likely start for the Oilers and Jimmy Howard will start in net for Detroit, coming off his first win of the season in relief effort of Chris Osgood. The top line of Dustin Penner, Sam Gagner, and Ales Hemsky has been good for the Oilers and could make things hard on Detroit if the wrong lines are out there against them.
For my statistical preview of the Oilers from yesterday, click here or simply scroll down.
What to look for: Look for Tomas Holmstrom and Pavel Datsyuk to try and continue on their recent success tonight. Valtteri Filppula is another guy to watch that could get some good offensive chances--passing and shooting--against this Oilers team that allows a good chunk of shots.
Puck drops at 9:30 PM ET and will air on FS-D and TSN. As always, GO WINGS!
Oilers SB Nation member: The Copper & Blue. Derek Zona of The Copper & Blue had this interesting bit on the Oilers:
The Oiler flu has struck. At least 13 players have now been affected by some version of the flu, including H1N1 carrier Ladislav Smid.
Some have played through it - Dustin Penner, Smid, Tom Gilbert - others have either left games or been a scratch - Ales Hemsky, Gilbert Brule, Mike Comrie, Lubomir Visnovsky. Combined with concussions for Sheldon Souray and Steve Staios and a lingering back problem for Fernando Pisani, the Oilers are suffering at this point. Their red-hot start has ground to a halt with the onset of the flu. If Visnovsky is unable to go tonight, the Oilers will have Jason Strudwick, Taylor Chorney, and Theo Peckham in the lineup. It could get ugly.
Complete game coverage here: Red Wings vs Oilers coverage
Edmonton Oilers: 6-5-1 13 pts
Key wins: 6-4 over Columbus, 2-1 over Vancouver
New note on the table, the NHL Rank will now feature a indicator if the ranking given for that team is above or below Detroit's ranking. A=Above, B=Below the ranking that Detroit is currently at.

Drinking Game
I propose everyone takes a drink every time “Swine flu” or “H1N1” is mentioned.
Have someone wake you up at the end of the third and take you to the hospital.

The game is on TSN and it’s in Canada. Need I explain more? The Hawks know all too well the types of shenanighans that go on when TSN broadcasts game. The officiating tends to be tilted towards one side.

Tradeable Players (just sayin'...)
1. Jimmy Howard – although I imagine he’s as useless to every other team in the NHL as he is to the Red Wings.
2. Niklas Kronwall
3. Brett Lebda
4. Derek Meech
5. Valtteri Filppula – let’s hope it doesn’t come to that
6. Ville Leino – ditto
7. Darren Helm – oh please, dear God, no
8. Justin Abdelkader – hopefully a Wing for a long time
-——————————————————————————————————
UNTRADEABLE PLAYERS
Chris Osgood – loyalty clause
Nick Lidstrom – let’s get serious here.
Brian Rafalski – no-trade clause
Brad Stuart – no-trade clause
Andreas Lilja – injured, career in danger
Jonathan Ericsson – Mike Babcock love affair
Pavel Datsyuk – huge contract with lots of years
Henrik Zetterberg – ditto
Johan Franzen – dittox2
Tomas Holmstrom – contract year
Dan Cleary – no-trade clause
Todd Bertuzzi – contract year
Jason Williams – contract year
Kris Draper – no-trade clause
Kirk Maltby – contract year
-——————————————————————————————————
PROSPECTS WORTH A DAMN
1. Thomas McCollum – very possibly the goalie of the future
2. Daniel Larsson – also not a bad option for the future
3. Jakub Kindl – ranked very highly by everyone
4. Tomas Tatar – very exciting, let’s hope he sticks around
5. Rights to Brendan Smith – potential top defenseman
6. Rights to Landon Ferraro – I can’t wait to see him in red and white, either

On Huet.
Look at his career numbers he’ll be fine. Huet is not top notch by any means but he is a good goaltender that can steal you a game. Talk to you in April? You’ll be fine, trust me it’s early.

Totally
I haven’t understood the Huet Hate this year (let’s be honest with each other, “Huet Hate” should stick…). He was a great goalie in Washington for that small time….
Do you think the Hawks are going to unload him in light of Niemi’s strong play?
by mpetrella on Oct 29, 2009 10:25 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Hard to say. But based on his play of recent there isn’t a chance that they will unload him for without Seabrook and Toews he has been very good. Has spent a lot time with goaltender coach Stephane Waite changing his mechanics which has paid huge dividends early.
If he goes back to struggling they may look elsewhere but Niemi won’t ever be the #1 this year at least.

I REALLY feel like I'd almost want Osgood in instead of Howard...
I’m just not that confident about him in a shoot-out.

WRONG PLACE -- SORRY
Awkward collision with the boards
Went off on his own power, didn’t need the trainers or anything, but definitely uncomfortable. Looked like he smooshed his neck/shoulders/chest against the ridge where the boards meet the glass.
More of a "yowza" than a "UH OH"

I would have been thrilled to have made it to a shootout after we were down 4-0, but after storming back to 5-5 tie and with all of our pressure I’m kinda bummed that it’s forcing to go to that.

but after that comeback it feels almost as shitty. Shootouts are terrible to us. We’ve got to start stealing points for ourselves. Almost did it tonight, and man, if that team comes out like that on Saturday it will be a good day.
