Ales Hemsky Out

Ales Hemsky is out for the rest of 2008 and for who knows how long for 2009.

I've heard fans say it all year:

"The Oilers are nothing without Ales Hemsky"

After a heckuva outing against the Nashville Predators, I'm extremely curious to see how the Oilers respond tonight. Hopefully, they respond how we want them to - come out and beat the lesser team in the Ottawa Senators, who are without top defenseman Filip Kuba.

If we can't beat the struggling Ottawa Senators, how will we beat our provincial rivals the Calgary Flames tomorrow night?

GOILERS and git 'er done tonight!
