The Viking!!
Those were all nice goals by Ekholm as well.. he generated the rush on the first two.. and then the long bomb empty net over the Duck defenseman's head was icing.
First time in NHL history two D-men on the sam eteam have had hat tricks in consecutive games!
Despite the goals for.. Defense was still a tire fire for a lot of the game .. too many mental blackouts.
Need some faster players to force the points on the PK.. can't break up the passes and then end up collapsing toward the net.. and giving up easy close in grade A shots.
Nurse was most of the blame on the 5-4 goal .. an unforced, no-look clear .. straight to the Duck winger.. then a weak block/deflection into the net past Jarry.
Really liked Somanski.. kid could move and was usually in the right place.. and shudda had a goal! Absolute Robbery!
I think I'd take him over Frederick for a starting spot, more effective
Could be a good find.
It was fitting his first game was vs the Ducks.. it was Woodcroft who told the Oilers that Somanski was someone they should sign when he was coaching against him in Germany (before getting the Anaheim job).. it wasn't a Oiler scouting find.. it was Woodcroft giving Oilers a solid.
Next guy that should get a try is Jarventie.. big quick winger
