PrintSt. Louis Blues at Edmonton Oilers, Jan 28, 2010 7:30 PM MST
I looked up toward they sky. I couldn't believe my eyes! Right in front of me was a Flying Fridge! And then an angel from heaven asked me, "What do you see?" What could I say? I told him, "I see a flying fridge, over six feet tall and almost as wide." And then the angel said, "This Fridge is a sign for you. You have read the number twenty-seven on its back and this is the meaning of the number: your team will win exactly twenty-seven games. But do not despair, for this season will root out evil and faithlessness. I have sent this Fridge into the dressing room. Through its eyes and ears I will pay attention and those who have lost faith and no longer believe that they are a part of Yahweh's chosen team will be banished forever."
St. Louis Blues (23-22-8) @ Edmonton Oilers (16-29-6)

More analysis after the jump...
Visiting Team Scouting Report: On January 2nd the St. Louis Blues fired head coach Andy Murray for failing to meet the expectations created by a huge stretch run at the end of last season. Since changing from Murray to Davis Payne the Blues have posted a 6-5-2 record and have a goal differential (no SO goals included) of +1 (+34 -33) compared to a record of 17-17-6 and a goal differential of -11 (+101 -112) before the change. So it seems that the results are at least a little bit better. In terms of outshooting, the results have actually been a little bit worse. Under Murray the Blues were outshot 924-900 at EV but managed to "outCorsi" their opponents 1692-1663. Under Payne the Blues have been outshot 297-275 and have been outCorsied 570-530. Nonetheless, their results at EV have improved significantly because of the percentages. The Murray Blues had a PDO number of 99.5 (and an EV goal differential of -7) while the Payne Blues have had a PDO number of 102.0 (and an EV goal differential of +4). Now, my opinion is that the percentages are mostly luck and that the Blues can't bank on them. Even if they could, they aren't a particularly good team at EV. On top of that, the power play continues to struggle (26th overall in the NHL) and the penalty killing continues to do well (5th in the NHL) but this team just doesn't look like it has the chops to be a really good club this year. And the coaching change hasn't fixed it. This is one team that should probably be selling at the deadline.
Expected Starting Lineups:
St. Louis Blues (23-22-8):
Perron - Tkachuk - MacDonald
Kariya - Oshie - Backes
Steen - McClement - Boyes
Winchester - Berglund - Crombeen
Brewer - Johnson
Jackman - Polak
Weaver - Sydor
Mason
Edmonton Oilers (16-29-6):
Penner - Gagner - Nilsson
Moreau - Horcoff - Pisani
Comrie - Potulny - Brule
Jacques - Pouliot - Cogliano
Souray - Gilbert
Grebeshkov - Visnovsky
Strudwick - Chorney
Deslauriers
Behind The Numbers:
- Worst Oiler teams ever leaderboard: The "Ryan Smyth Deathmarch" Oilers: 2-16-1 with an 11 game winless streak. The current "AHL Goaltending" Oilers: 1-16-2 with an 11 game winless streak. The "Shame Corson" Oilers: 1-18-3 with a 14-game winless streak. Four straight losses puts a stamp on this season: Blues, Flames, Canes, Flyers. I believe!
- The Blues have five defenders with 30 or more games played that have a +/- of +1 or better. Among the forwards, there's only one (Brad Winchester). I find that downright odd.
- The Oilers really aren't this bad. Through this 19 game freefall the Oilers have an on-ice shooting percentage of 5.0% at EV and an on-ice save percentage of .894. We can expect at least one of those two numbers to get better and, as bad as J4D has been, that .894 number probably should be a baseline for the next ten or twenty games. Dustin Penner is like a microcosm of this problem. He's scored three goals and four assists for a total of seven points over this stretch which is pretty terrible for your main offensive weapon. The team's shooting percentage with Penner on the ice? 3.6% (and the goalies are just awful, with a save percentage of .858). His line is actually massively outshooting their opponents at EV (166-113) but they've been outscored 16-6. So... I don't really think he's doing too much differently from the start of the season. And I kind of doubt there would be a whole bunch of moaning about him looking "more like last year" if the percentages were even halfway reasonable for him over this stretch.
- The Oilers have outshot their opponents 17 times this season. St. Louis has done it 22 times. Believe it or not, three teams in the NHL have been worse than the Oilers: the Atlanta Thrashers (16 times), the Colorado Avalanche (13 times) and the Florida Panthers (12 times). At this point, it might be time to declare the Avalanche the most successful team ever to be outshot by more than 5.0 shots per game (they're actually at -5.7 per game).
- The Blues are playing their second game in two nights. They played last night in Vancouver. One would think this is an advantage, but the last five times opponents have made the trip from Vancouver to Edmonton for a back-to-back - all during this 19 game slide - the Oilers have lost, being outscored by a combined total of 23-12.

Yes sir! But the thing of it is, we heard a lot of “Penner is a new man!” through the first twenty games and, yeah, he did seem happier, more leader-y and more willing to be creative offensively, but the changes weren’t really that big. And although I haven’t watched all of the games in the last twenty, he seems a little less jovial, but that’s about it. But now the call is “This is the old Penner! Bring back the new one!” It’s just amazing to me how much results (in terms of goals) impact our perception, myself included.

Well those are just two different stats. +/- has all those shorties in there to mess things up. Gabe’s stuff is just 5v5. A better stat for measuring things to be sure, but not the one I went with above because it’s not quite as mindbending.

Editor of The Copper & Blue, and leader of The Cult Of Hartikainen.
Doesn’t the prophecy foretell a ten-game winning streak based on unsustainable percentages to end the season and ruin the draft position?
No! Well, unless they lose 20 of the next 21 before that 10-game winning streak. Which would be hilarious AND in keeping with the prophecy. Make it happen Oilers!

Yeah… It’s technically true but Smyth was still on the team for the first game of that streak and they were, IMO, a completely different team once Smyth was gone.

Hey Blues fans
Wanted to ask this on your GDT but it’s not up yet and I’m on my way to the game. So …
Can you give me a synopsis of what’s been happening with Backes and Berglund this year? I have ‘em both in my keeper league pool; had them last year and protected them expecting better things. Which haven’t happened, esp. for Berglund. Backes I know had a slow start (again) and has been picking it up, but not like last year.
Any info is appreciated.
Off to Rexall I go. Enjoy the game everybody!

It's complicated
Apparently Berglund is a delicate flower and doesn’t like being yelled at. Andy Murray did a lot of yelling at Berglund. Then he was a healthy scratch fairly regularly and then spent some time on the fourth line. Something about not totally committing to the system or something. He’s been much more creative and playing with more hop in his step since Murray got the hook.
Backes, he’s changed positions playing a bunch of center. He hasn’t been able to park himself in front of the net as much as past seasons. I think he felt some of the pressure of playing on an inconsistent team. He’s shown signs of coming out of his funk, but he’s been slow to do so.
Playing hard for 40 minutes, playing down to crappy competition, it’s all made for a frustrating year.

Yeah, I’m not impressed by this Blues club so far. The difference between them and Chicago is… substantial. Other than the goaltending I think they’re probably no better than the Oilers.

Grebeshkov seems to be fighting the puck so far tonight. So far I’ve counted three times where he’s had an opportunity to make a play and it’s ended up on a St. Louis stick each time. Not much time on two of those plays (more “react” than “decision”) but he’s not having one of his smoother games.
I wonder if it’s not a better move to trade him than Visnovsky.
Editor of The Copper & Blue, and leader of The Cult Of Hartikainen.
Ahh, you know me well Scott.
I’ve got an Olympic break post planned about that.
With video footage!
Editor of The Copper & Blue, and leader of The Cult Of Hartikainen.
Deslauriers’ habit of picking up the puck with his blocker hand is a bad one. The coaches should really get him to hold onto his stick.
Dominik Hasek did the same thing, and you don’t meddle with Dominik Hasek!

Hi from Rexall. Sons iPhone. I’m up to one finger and almost as competent as the Oilers! Fast period, mostly at this end. Oilers skating better. JDD is no Hasek, but he’s kept the puck out of the net…so far.

In 1998-99, the Calgary Flames had one of the worst goaltending crises of modern times. The Flames ended up running out four journeyman goaltenders who played no fewer than ten games each: Fred Brathwaite, Tyler Moss, Ken Wregget, and a young Jean-Sebastien Giguere.
Any of them would be by far the best goaltender on the 2009-10 Oilers.

Calgary lost tonight in the shootout so this next BoA has two pretty long losing streaks on the line. If the Oilers snap their losing streak against the Flames I certainly won’t be heartbroken.
Another team walks in here on a BtB, doesn’t hit anybody, and walks out with the points. That was a fast game but not an exciting one.
