It should be noted that right as Hartnell was confronting Potter the Oilers had a glorious scoring opportunity in the Flyers zone. Potter was aware of this because he ignored Hartnell and jumped in on the play. Why should Potter "answer" for a clean hit and ruin a potential goal?

Oh wow, didn't see that coming. Usually when a knee isn't serious they will try and come back in the game and be able to go off on their own steam. Then they just leave the game. Maggie looked in a bunch of pain.

Anyone else want to grab Simmonds but that ****ing punters helmet last night and punch him in the face?

I agree...its a non issue.

I think more attention should be paid to what the team did do in this game.

Dubnyk played on of the best games I have ever seen him play. Good on him...still not sold on him as a legit #1 goalie but he looked good last night.

The Oilers as a team had very active sticks. I saw play after play where they were intercepting passes and getting their sticks in the shooting lanes. I was very impressed with that because it showed a positional awareness that I haven't seen very much this year. That helped pave the way for the shutout tonight.

Solid games by bottom 6 players like Petrell.

This was a win Oiler fans should be very happy with.

That would be sweet, hopefully he returns and plays out the remaining string of games and wins the Calder

I thought it looked promising when he got up the way he did without needing help. That was a good sign right there I thought.

Its fortunate. But I still think Hartnell was looking for the knee on the play. I don't mind guys that deliver a solid check. But I can't stand playing guys that will submarine you or go knee hunting. That **** just destroys careers.

Yeah him being able to put some weight on it was a good sign, but we've seen guys miss a lot of time in spite of that. Glad that he's o.k. besides being bruised/battered as he has started to turn the corner. Hartnell still needs to pay for what he did though next time that we play IMO. I'd pay $ to see Paajarvi take up boxing and MMA in the summer and jump Hartnell next year when they play

it actually worked for matt greene and vinny lecav as well.

i also wanted to add in that if potter was a real team player he would have dropped the gloves and wrestled hartnell to the ground, because hartnell off the ice for 5 mins in exchange for potter off the ice for 5 mins is a benefit for the oilers. also if hartnell woulda rushed him he would have got the extra 2 for instigating.

so any update on mps?

[Koto]

in the rnh injury thread they said mps was healthy, still in lineup sat

Good news. I suspected that it was a charley horse by virtue of where he sustained the impact of the blow and how he reacted afterwords.

His game is starting to come around...it would have been a shame to see him take another step back at this point.
