Pretty Lackluster


It is the second intermission between Washington and Philly and I am bored so I will throw out some stats:

Former Oilers involved in the Pitkanen trade:

Player

Goals

Assists

Points

TOI

+/-

Jason Smith

0

0

0

18:35

-6

Joffery Lupul

0

1

1

15:38

0

Now those are some pretty lackluster numbers. First, Jason Smith is -6 (really -7 since he was on for AO’s goal in the second period). That is pretty brutal for a guy that seemed like a decent shut down d-man while he was in Edmonton. Second, 1 point in 6.6 games for Lupul is atrocious.

*Note* Jason Smith has be on the ice for 16 out of the 23 goals Washington has scored during the series

Think the Flyers would like to have another puck moving d-man during this series?


*Well with Lupul scoring the OT winner throw this one away

Still a crap series for both players. Man I thought Washington was taking it.....

Lupul was terrible the whole series.

Refs put their whistles in the pockets, then decided to put them on again in OT. Puzzling stuff.

I love Ovechkin. That is all.

Friendly reminder to get your 2nd round picks in for the playoff pool.

Keep up the good work on this blog. Just read a few entries below.

How would this entry have looked if the Oilers were in the playoffs and you start to compare Pitkanen and Sanderson to Lupul and Smith? I think Philly would take it, Sanderson would not be playing and Pitkanen would get a runny nose and sit out. If Sanderson was healthy he might make a good showing in a few games.
