Anyway, with the team relying on the talents of about 3 legit NHL players they of course gave Edmonton a win last night, and an embarrassing win. Who is left that isn't injured now? I guess Komarov, only because when Lou brought out the trusty crowbar Leo simply looked at it and it turned to rubber.
