Update (thnx Mike): Devan Dubnyk has a gastro-intenstinal disorder and will not play tonight. Funny thing is, Jeff Des-Lauriers will start, but the Oilers do not have a backup netminder. No pressure, kid! It was Dubnyk that was in net for both wins over Detroit and San Jose.
*************************
So the Coilers are now Spoilers. They may get a lift tonight as Patrick O'Sullivan seems ready to play after a freak finger accident. His finger nail "exploded" after a slash from a Sens player earlier in March. However, O'Sullivan is a team worst -32 despite having scored 10 goals and 21 assists this season.
After losing 5 games in a row between March 9-16 ( 4 of those games on the road), Edmonton is quickly earning the spoiler role after beating both Detroit and San Jose in their last 2 games (both played at home).
So, obviously, the Canucks cannot take these guys likely. Once again they face a team with nothing to lose, who is probably going to come out with a gritty effort, crashing and banging their way to hopeful victory.
Both Dustin Penner and Shawn Horcoff have a goal and an assist in the Oils' last 2 wins.
In the 5 games played against eachother this season, here are the scoring leaders (and keep in mind the Canucks have outscored the Oilers 17-8):
-Henrik Sedin: 2 goals and 6 assists
-Daniel Sedin: 3 goals and 5 assists
-Christian Ehrhoff: 2 goals and 2 assists
-Patrick O'Sullivan: 2 goals and 2 assists
-Ryan Kesler and Alexander Edler: 1 goal and 3 assists each
-Mason Raymond: 1 goal and 2 assists
-Highest remaining scoring Oilers against Vancouver: Alex Potulny, Sam-Wise Gagner, Gilbert Brule, Denis Grebeshkov and Dustin Penner all with 2 points.
Ironic that O'Sullivan most likely returns against a team that he has played well against this season.
I said that the Canucks have out-scored the Oilers 17-8 this season...well...10 of those Canucks goals came on the power play. 4 of the Oilers' 8 goals against Vancouver came on the man-advantage. Those are some telling stats right there. It may interest you then that the Oilers are 0 for 5 on the PP in their last 2 games while the Canucks are 2-for-9.
What I wonder about his game is: what do the Canucks have to inspire themselves to win this game? I'm writing this at 7:52 pm Monday and the Avs have a chance to pull within 4 points of Vancouver tonight. Phoenix and Chicago remain 5 points ahead of the Canucks in the top 2 spots in the West. Does a win really matter? What motivates Canucks players at this point? Well, according to the Reid report the Canucks will tell you that they are aware of teams (Avalanche) approaching them in the standings and that they cannot be complacent. Let's see if they play that way. Burrows said on Monday:
"There are always bigger goals and bigger dreams," Burrows said. "To be five points back, I'd rather look ahead than look at Calgary or Nashville or L.A. coming in behind us.
"We'd rather look up front and try to catch those big fish."
Pavol Demitra remains in Vancouver because of personal reasons. Mason Raymond will take his spot on line 2 to form an RPM line from hell along with Kesler and Grabner.
Tanner Glass takes Raymond's spot on line 3.

Good news: If they chase Deslauriers somehow, then may have to put Penner in net.

Dan Tencer of CHED radio reports that University of Calgary goalie Nathan Deobald — 5-foot-9, 175 pounds — will be the backup for the Oilers. He’s 26 years old, and thankfully the NCAA is nowhere in sight to muck up the works on this.

At least he didn’t make jokes about hybrid cars. I find it hilarious and insanely tragic when they make jokes about Vancouverites and their hybrid cars. Cause everyone knows the environment is fine and being liberal, forward thinking, progressive, and socially aware is something that should be mocked.

Story Time!
Vancouver went with a sous-chef as back-up one day, too:
Cloutier injured his groin that morning, so Hedberg was starting. Needing a back-up, they normally would have gotten one of the (other) Moose, but they were on the East coast and none could make it to Vancouver in time.
So the Canucks had to find an unsigned player to fill his spot, and third-string UBC Thunderbird Chris Levesque was available. His friends found him studying for a geography exam the next day and had to be called by Canucks management before he believed them.
Cloutier wasn’t in shape enough to skate in practice, so Levesque was made the official back-up (after receiving a one-game exemption from the CIS) and took his place in practice, then on the bench.
As you may remember, Hedberg had a collision with Konstantin Koltsov, and as he was lying on the ice, the cameras zoomed to the back-up and the fans started to roar, but Crawford didn’t even glance at him. Eventually, Hedberg got up and finished the game. Let’s face it: he knew who his back-up was, and he would have finished the game on one leg if he had to.
One of the mind-blowing experiences for Levesque was being in the dressing room and having the Canucks welcome him:
“Hi, I’m Trevor.”
“Yeah, I know.”
“Hey, I’m Todd. Welcome to the club.”
“Thanks, I know.”
“Good to see you, I’m Markus.”
“Uh, yeah, I know.”
Damn. I’m 6’4", but I live in Dallas. Could have been my shot at the big time.
Praise be to Luongod, from whom all good things flow.

Sorta blowout...
Two 3rd period goals, and a 4-1 Canucks win that gets everyone back on the bandwagon.
The one goal goes of a knob or something.
And Mason Raymond gets the GWG.

That’s how I want to be paid. "If I can generate offence once in a while, I think it’s a plus for the team." Alex Burrows...Mar/09
When did people get off the bandwagon?
Surely we’re not letting Zetterberg’s goal take us off the bandwagon, are we?
Knights, Canucks, Dolphins, Jays and Raptors all the way.
Not me.
But the handwringing over every Luongo goal and every game lost ( we are going to lose some, right ? )…sure makes it seem, to me anyway, that there is a kind of on and off…like fans for years, KNOWING we have a pretty good team, are looking for a reason to not be hurt again.
Its just part of that bi polar love we have for this hockey team.

I definitely went to school with the goalie that might be backing up for the coilers tonight (Torrie Jung), lets hope Deslauriers gets chased in the first so I can see him play.
Also, DON’T UNDERESTIMATE BASEMENT TEAMS!
Ahem,
4-1 Canucks
SOB with the GWG (logical choice, since he’s on FIYAA!)
Oh come on, they’re REALLY good at underestimating them!
Now I’m pulling for Jung (that just sounds wrong)

Story time part 2
Dean Arsene, who some of yo may remember I grew up with, looks to be in the lineup tonight. A couple weeks ago he was called up to play against the Hawks, he wasn’t the only one though as one of his AHL teammates received the call as well. Turns out there was only one seat on the first flight out of town and it was given to the other guy. So Arsene sat around waiting for the next flight. Eventually he winged his way over to Chi town arriving just prior to 7 O’clock local time. As most of you know, 7 O’Clock local time is when games start. So there was Dean Arsene in a cab over to the rink in Chicago listening to the start of the game that he was supposed to be playing in. Now we all know that borderline panicky feeling we get when we know we are going to be late for something that we REALLY want to be on time for. Well imagine how it would be feel if that thing you REALLY wanted to be on time for was your second ever NHL game at the age of 29. Oh, and that thing you REALLY want to be there for is being broadcast on the radio and you are listening to the minutes tick away. I can’t imagine the torture that must have been. He ended up arriving on the bench about half way through the first and playing around 10 minutes as a plus 1. Plus 1 as an Oiler against the Hawks is a marvelous game if you ask me. Anyway it sounds like Dean will have a chance to go tonight against his home town team. He grew up in Aldergrove, despite being listed as being from Murrayville or Abbotsford. He may have been born at Langley Memorial in Murrayville and spent some time living in Abbotsford, in fact you can see the house his parents live in from Highway 1 about halfway between the Aldergrove and Mt Lehman exits, but he grew up in Aldergrove down close to the border. I hope he does really well tonight and gets a point and maybe a fight. It feels weird to be cheering FOR an Oiler but I will be rooting for my old friend tonight no matter what happens.

I’m sure he will go with someone if he needs to. His fight card is pretty impressive. He’s fought Paros, Voros, Cote, Wisnieskwi etc etc etc in his AHL days. Doesn’t seem to be afraid of anyone.

here's a good read
Buccigross at ESPN thinks that we should have individual goal songs for each NHL player when they score a goal.
some examples he gives:
Ovechkin – “Wild Thing” by The Troggs
Kane – “Born In The USA” by Bruce Springsteen
Kovalchuk – “You Give Love A Bad Name” by Bon Jovi
Sidney Crosby – “Sick of Myself” by Matthew Sweet
Sedins (either one) – “Tattva” by Kula Shaker

Does ANYONE else think this was a bad contract? Let alone as bad as Redden’s? This is such a bad piece of garbage. The guy has no clue what he is talking about, he compares Kesler to a player who isn’t in his league. I mean he is basing it all on goal scoring. Nice nuanced understanding of hockey, American idiot.

I was hoping for $4.5m, but that was based on what I thought about him maybe a few months ago. He’s just been proving his worth ever since, tho, and $5m is a cheap price for a guy who can bring so much to the rink every day. Just stay healthy, Kes.
The opposite of serious is not funny; the opposite of serious is unserious.
And to be honest I prefer my centers to be more playmakers than snipers. 20 goals and 50 plus assists from a second line center? Yes please. Throw in his speed, tenacity, shut down and PK ability. Plus he is good on the PP, wins face-offs, is physical. I have said it before he is THE Perfect second line center.

He’s not the team’s chiropractor, although he’s dealt with some of the players before. That makes me think it’s not a team thing, so what else can the organization say?

He cracked a few backs for the Caps and he was arrested for selling ‘roids. There’s no reason to think any Caps are on roids as you rightly pointed out GAHHHHHHHH!

I heard that his office is in the same Mall as is attached to the Caps’ practice facility, so he might just have been the nearest guy for some players who needed a cracking after practice. Hope that’s all it is.

Yep, what I heard on SportsCentre as well.

I am sure it is. Remember during the height of the Tiger Woods “controversy” some doctor he had seen a couple times was arrested for trying to sell steroids. There was no evidence that Woods was involved in any way shape or form. They just find the biggest name sports personality or team that has a tenuous link, at best, to the doctor so that the story sees the light of day.

I’m fairly sure that there is a certain amount of steroid use in the NHL, regardless of what they say about testing procedures when poked… but I don’t know that I’d point a finger at any particular player or team. Like…I could never see a guy like Wellwood doing ‘roids…but there are players who make me go ’hmmm’.

Does this mean the Caps let each player determine for himself if he had a sore back? Without even doing a spinal tap to look for a bulging disk first? Wow.
