A Jussi New Rumour!

Ok, I don't want to jump to any huge conclusions but there has been some activity in the minors for the Oilers. Jussi just started and won two games in a row because they are trying to rest Dwayne Rolosson right? Wrong! I just want to have it on record that I think the Oil are shopping Jussi Markkanen. Devan Dubnyk just got reassigned to Wilkes-Barre of the AHL where Jeff Drouin-Deslauriers and Andrew Penner are both having terrific seasons so it can't be because the Baby Pens need more help between the pipes. What I think is going to happen is that Markkanen will be shipped somewhere and Jeff Double D will be called up to back up Roli. I haven't heard any rumours saying this yet so I wanted to have it on record if this happens. If I turn out to be wrong, I just want to know why the crap we have both of our goalie prospects splitting an already platoon situation. I guess we will see. As long as we pick up a D-man I am fine with this. Good Luck Jussi!
Well, I don't want to say told you so.... actually this clearly indicates I look forward to saying it...

So long and goodnight,

Interesting prediction. The Oilers do really need a veteran D-man who can eat up minutes. I have to say that Jussi was awesome between the pipes for those two games, and it seems to me like Roloson needs to rest more often than he does. I don't know whether the Oilers could afford to have a less skilled back-up goalie for when Roli needs a break. I would almost see them trading a forward for a d-man, since there is an abundance of them.

I miss you and me on the couch. Futurama has never been so good.

Where were you on the Smyth debaucle? So much for Jussi moving on, eh? Poor, poor OilerFan.

Actually it was pretty funny at school on Tuesday - people were furious! Pretty funny. Everyone was like, "they did WHAT?!? Nooooo! Now we REALLY suck!"

It's ok... I'll let you borrow my Flames Jersey come playoff time.
