Red Wings Fly In.





Everyone loves a good piggy-back ride.

The Oilers will be back in Rexall Place tonight, if only for a few hours, against a more-than-worthy opponent in the Detroit Red Wings. The Red Wings are coming off of a loss in Calgary last night, who has already begun the task of creating playoff jingles, 5-3, the Wings made it close in the third but in the end the Wings' goaltending was an issue.

And I think we all know what that's like, but not as of late because Roloson has been on fire lately and we need that to continue if we want to win games. Which of course we do--who doesn't?

We need our special teams to step it up, because they got nothing done last game, though they did look good in the previous two games. We also need some production from the top line, which I heard did not play all that badly, and actually had a really good first period. But when the Oilers don't score after a period of complete domination the Oilers usually don't win the game. They sometimes even get shut-out, like the Minny game.

This game will be a tough one for the boys, but I think they're capable of winning it. And if they do? Well, only good things can come of that.

As Always: Go Oilers GO!
