Tough Day for United

3-1 for Liverpool is about as bad a day as possible for a regular fixture.

There's nothing regular about a Liverpool v United match.  This is an old time rivalry and today's trip to Anfield is a special date on any fixture schedule.

Nonetheless I was forced to watch today's match online.  It's a bit tougher to get a feel for things, but at least I can follow along.  My review is short.  We look lost with both Rio and Vidic on the bench.  I'm holding out hope for a summer of purchase of a creative midfielder.  Something just didn't seem to sync up and a few time this year I have felt the same.

Time is now to recover.  Two big losses and now is the time to lock it down for the year.

Penner a King

The oilers makethe first big move of the day.

Dustin Penner is off the join a variety of former oilmen in LA

The return; former #13 overall picked defenseman Colten Teubert. Teubert gets good press as a legitamate future top 4 defender. The 1st round pick doesn't hurt either.

I don't love or hate this trade. We loose a decent amount of size from an already small team. That being said; we get essentially 2 first rounders for Penner.

Time wil tell, but it is a shame to see the pride of Winkler AB heading south

Oil involved

Alright.... We are about 2 hours until the deadline and the oil are involved

Minor deal - Shawn belle to Colorado for Kevin Montgomery.

I have no opinion.... To minor to effect the team

Trade deadline 2011

Ok... I took a couple of years off blogging


Back at it for the deadline:

*** Nothing happening early. Florida and Atlanta made a small move, but it did not include anyone worth talking about

*** I can't say what I want to see from the Oilers today. I'm hoping for some help on D, but I don't really want to see Penner or Hemsky go... time will tell.
