GDT Edm @ Col (11/14) - The Trip Ends Here!

[PDO]

Word is Morrison has a good chance of starting tonight.

If the Oilers can pull a win off here they finish the road trip off 4-3, and will be sitting at .500 on the road, with (I think) a league leading 14 games already on the road, things can only look up. We're 3-2-1 at home so far, and if we can continue to be .500 on the road, this team should be able to be atleast .600 at home.

For tonight.. not sure what tp expect. It'd be huge to get the win, and I think Morrison (if he starts) could really surprise some people. I'm expecting big games from Pronger and Hemsky tonight.

Sadly, the game is on PPV, so I won't be watching. Against Colorado it's a must to stay out of the box.

We beat them once this year, I think if edmonton can get their chemistry going agian they'll be fine. The biggest thing in the Nash game, despite doing almost everything rite edmonton looked out of synch. Im expecting a much better start from Jussi today...

This is a tough place to end the seven game road trip, especially coming off the lacklustre loss at Chicago last night.

It would be huge to get the win as the Oilers have to face Detroit when they return home. I would have liked to see Morrison get his first start last night and have Markkanen ready for tonight's intradivisional game.

I'll be watching some of the game tonight, mainly between M.N.F. commercials.

Go OIL Go!

Edmonton win 5-2. Pronger scored his first goal as an oiler (about time), I didnt watch the game, but I'll catch the highlights later on.

Good on the Oilers proving me wrong.

Morrison looked confident in net and should be a viable backup when called upon. Great to see Pronger finally score. Hopefully he'll have quite a few more.

I'm so glad this road trip is over. Too up and down for my liking. Fortunately there's now three games at home that hopefully Edmonton can grab at least four points.

What a huge win for the Oilers. Morrison gets a win in his NHL debut (against Colorado, no less) and we finish the roadtrip 4-3. We're 2-2 against Colorado, which is also important. Big night for Hemsky, who had 3 assists.

Lets get back home for 3 games here and get another streak going.
