That's why Oilers are starting Khabibulin tonite. The newbs on ice for Edmonton will play hard, but like I said they don't score much anyway, so losing "goal scorers" by Edmonton standards ain't like Anaheim losing Perry or Calgary losing Iginla
Look at the Islanders, I'll bet you can't name 1 stiff on that team but the amateur callups are scoring tons of goals
Main question is if Edmonton comes to play. If they do, they can win. I think they will because even though they're losing tough road games, they're not mailing it in like Colorado.
