Reddox Down, O'Marra and McDonald Up (Seriously)

PrintWhat's that, Liam Reddox? You've been playing some pretty good hockey since your latest recall and have given Oiler fans some small measure of hope and satisfaction that this season won't be a total waste? Well, fuck you, because you've been sent down to the Springfield Falcons! In your place come the Patron Saint of Coke Machines, Colin McDonald, and the Patron Saint of Just Really Awful Hockey Players, Ryan O'Marra.
All information courtesy Mirtle's Twitter. The recall of two players implies that one Oiler forward is hurt badly enough to go on injured reserve and the smart money is on Ales Hemsky; replacing Hemsky with Ryan O'Marra may just be the biggest skill drop-off since Wayne Gretzky tweaked his groin and was replaced with an actual fire hydrant.

Hemsky is already appearing on the Oilers injury report so he’s very likely not playing in the Oilers next game which means, unless Stone, Pouliot or Nilsson is ready to go by tomorrow Colin McDonald is going to play his first NHL game.

That’s pretty much spot on. He was good his first two games up. Since that dirty damned hit – he’s been crap.

Reddox’s scoring chance number for the last three games: 1 for, 17 against.

Which is pretty typical for the Oilers this year.

Oilers SC at EV during that time: 41/58
So, Oilers w/ and w/o Reddox’s line:
With: 1/17
Without: 40/41
IIRC, the Reddox line was playing pretty nasty minutes, and the Oilers still stink without him, but he isn’t helping at this point.

His Corsi in the same 3 games was +7 / -46. He’s been brutal. I too was wondering if that hit had something to do with it. He was playing pretty well before that, not well at all since.
If Hemsky is gone for any length of time, we might as well call up Ogie Oglethorpe on emergency recall. I am sick to death with other teams taking liberties.

So, prior to the hit, Reddox was 18 CF – 24 CA
Since the hit, he’s 1 CF – 17 CA
