It was in Saturday's journal how Klefbom received a cortisone shot for his shoulder .
So there is that.
He's taken a cortisone shot for his sore shoulder, while the team has been guarded on the problem. Nobody would be surprised if he needed more repair on the appendage when the season's over.
Planet Zoltar is Bob's hangout.
Yes, I just wish we had more prospects we could take a look at from the AHL but the cupboard is pretty bare.
Ethan Bear called up, Stauffer says more will be coming out shortly about it soon and we will appreciate why...not sure what he means, maybe Klefbom getting shut down or something.
Thanks for that. I got the feeling Stauffer was talking about Larsson. At least Russell is back. I would put Bear right in there and sit Sekera down as he just doesn't look anywhere close to being 100%. Bear should be hungry because it's springtime and hibernation and all that Principe schtick.Adam Larsson will be returning to Sweden after this game to attend to some family matters after the death of his father. He’ll miss the next couple of games. Russell back in tonight. In this article below
Pontus Aberg will make debut with Edmonton Oilers
I mean...it wouldn't be hard to be better than Benning already.I like Bear, hopefully he can be the PMD PP dman we need. Would be a bonus if he's better then Benning already.

Benning is criminally underrated on these boards because we signed him as a free agent. Not to many 23 year old dmen who are in their 2nd season in the league. As a bottom pairing guy he's the type of guy you want. Problem is here he's being asked to play more then he should be. Which has been a problem with the Oilers forever.

Where do you think he's rated? I think hes rated as a 6/7 D-man with no potential to be better than that. Your right, he's playing above his talent level. That's Chia's fault.
I haven't followed our prospects really, but weren't Jones and maybe Mantha ahead of him?
Jones and Mantha were rated above him because guys like them traditionally adapt to the NHL and AHL easier. Bear had more upside.I haven't followed our prospects really, but weren't Jones and maybe Mantha ahead of him?
If Jones was ever ahead of him, he's not anymore. Jones has not adapted well to the pro-game, whereas Bear has been solid.I haven't followed our prospects really, but weren't Jones and maybe Mantha ahead of him?
I'm interested to see how he'll do. Any chance he's playing tonight? Probably not, but if he is, I might tune in.
