Whoops There Goes Another Plante

This is Jacques Plante in those old beauty uniforms (the really old ones). The Oilers other Plante (Alex) has an assist in the Hitmen game tonight and has now equalled his point total from all of last season.

He's also been in a fight.

+2 and 3rd star as well.

Kytnar 2-1-3, has a 3rd star, and even so far in 4 games. The Blades haven't put up many goals.

Deflection post!

And all this on a team that doesn't want him.

Praying for a bounce-back season. To add Plante to the other names in our prospect pool as a legitimate candidate to play NHL hockey would be another feather in the cap of the scouting staff.

Petry-Plante
Chorney-Peckham
Wild-Motin

Is there a system that can boast that much depth on the blueline that hasn't played two pro games?

man. That meant to be read: NHL games.

I blame Ugly for blinding me with ugly tonight.

So of course I have to miss this game, and watch the shitfest on Sportsnet. Fuck you, Hudson's Bay Company.

On the plus side, looks like he might be trying to prove Kisio wrong. Attitude like that, he could do some good things this year.

Man, major cuts today. Surprised to see Spurgeon go out so soon

Dennis said...

You'd have to think that Spurgeon's gonna get a call this season given how hard he's worked/noticeable he's been in the EX games.

A guy who didn't make an absolute peep after finishing strong last year and seemingly having a chapter in the good books of new and certainly influential assistant coach Kelly Buchberger?

Somebody's grabbing Potulny. Book it.

Schitzo said...

bob: The conspiracy theorist in me says that the decision to cut potulny was made 2 weeks ago. The reason he hasn't seen any more game time is so that he can't inflate his value and make himself a temptation on waivers

Any guy that could be had for Danny Syvret?

Probably not worth having.
