When Lubo came off the ice, we all knew it was bad. It has been confirmed that Visnovsky needs surgery on his injured shoulder and is done for the season. That is really too bad. He was having a very nice season. The only good news is that we have three other offensive and puck-moving defensemen on the team. I don't think the Oilers can move any of them now. If Lubo was not hurt, I think one of them was going to be moved for either a left winger or a center.Montreal is in town tomorrow night and they are floundering right now, losing 8 of 10. They held a players-only meeting following their loss to Calgary last night (6-2) so the Oilers need to show up in the first period and play the whole 60 minutes. They are tied for 8th place after going 2-4-1 since the All-Star break. Miraculously they are still in the hunt but they need to be better.
I've just renewed my season ticket for next year and signed up for playoff tickets. Now, get to the promised land boys!!!! Edmonton needs playoff hockey....
UPDATE: Jagr as an Oiler?? Rumor is out there that he is close to signing a deal. His stats for far for Omsk is 51 points in 48 games (25 goals, 26 assists). Not bad. Have we finally found someone to play with Hemsky? Don't tease us Oilers, don't tease us!!!
UPDATE: Yeah not happening this year at least. Jagr remains in Russia.

Would have been nice for sure ... maybe Jagr next year? It would neat to see him in a Oilers uniform.
I just want to see some genuine effort and intensity from our boys. Enough with the half hearted attempts and bring on the genuine hunger to be in the playoff hunt.
I think he would have been a nice fit for Hemsky. That is the type of player our Hemmer needs....asap!
I agree...a full-out 60 minute effort! We've seen too few of them this season.
