Oilers lose yet another (Hemsky Season Ending Injury)
Ridiculous. Another one of Edmonton's players is injured, but this team its our best player, Rumors Circulating that Hemsky may need shoulder surgery which will most likely end his season. His injury came in Wendsdays game against LA, when he was boarded by Micheal Handzus. This is going to add on to the already league leading 146 man games lost to injury and were barely even one fourth into the season.

Yikes, didn't realize the Oilers were that hurt.....sorry to hear, but sometimes you might get a nice surprise from the farm team - too bad they never kept Schremp, he probably finally couldn've made their line up, lol.

I'm a Canuck fan, and I think it's worthy of the main boards. Edmonton has been absolutely decimated by injuries this year. I'm actually at the point where I feel bad for them. I'd be very curious to see what kind of damage the Oilers could do if they were completely healthy. Unfortunately, it looks like for the second straight year, we'll never know.

We play better without Hemsky "the friendly ghost" in the lineup. This could be a very good thing for the Oil - getting away from our dependence on a player that disappears on many nights and gives the puck away a ton on most nights.
Perhaps those that think Hemsky is the key to our success (note: 3 consecutive years out of the playoffs with Hemsky as our leader) will realize how expendible he really is when his missing the remainder of the season has no ill effects on our record.
Could be a blessing in disguise. Sometimes teams reinvent themselves as blue collar, never-say-die underdogs when a major star goes down with a long term injury, and actually play better when they did when he was in the lineup.
