I am very happy with the result especially given the defense the Oilers had to play. In my opinion, they had
- 1 dman who could play top 4 mins as a #4 on NHL teams in Barrie but defense isn't his strong suit.
- 1 dman in Russell who is probably a #6 on a lot of NHL teams.
- 1 dman in Lagesson who's an NHL tweener and could at best be a#7 at but I am not sure full time.
- 1 rookie dman in Bouchard who's an NHL dman but is going through a real rough patch and should be playing in the 3rd pairing.
- 1 20 yr old rookie to North American hockey in Broberg who looks to have the potential to be a good one but should spend the whole year in the AHL.
- 1 older rooked to North American hockey in Nemo who should be in the AHL the whole year and who knows if he will be an NHLer.
The vet Pens team took advantage of the Oilers defense but Koskinen was up for the task and the Oilers took advantage of their chances.
I thought the Oilers giving Russell that shot blocking award was pretty freaking classy and I am sure it was appreciated by the guys in the room for the team doing that. Whether you like the player or not, I hope the fans in attendance showed the guy some respect.

They seemed to be quite appreciative on the broadcast, though I'm sure Adam took the opportunity to use the "facilities" while he was being celebrated

Lowetide went off at the start of his show about all the twitter hate Russell was getting and how low class it was. I am sure some fans tried their best to ruin it. He's by far not a perfect dman and I think his style of dman isn't ideal for the NHL anymore. I know some people think shot blocking is useless, seems most players and coaches think the other way. Regardless, I give the guy huge respect for throwing his body in front of 90+ mile an hour slap shots over 2000 times. I sure as hell wouldn't do that.
