Just please don't be down 6-1 at the end of the 1st again.

That's all I ask.

It was honestly about the worst period of hockey I've witnessed from the Oilers in 30 years. Perhaps they laid a bigger egg during an un-televised game some time during that period (it's possible, since years back so few games made it on TV), but it's the worst I've seen with my own eyes.

Me too, and I've watched a LOT of Oiler hockey in the last 30+ years. I do remember them being down 6-1 against the Canucks in maybe, '83 or so? That was after the second period, though, not the first. It was pretty bad how they played, but I don't think it was quite as bad as we saw last week. Oh, and the Oilers scored 6 in the third period of that game and won 7-6. Ah, the good old days...

For me it was the worst period of hockey I've seen from the Oilers in all my years, but I don't have as long to draw on as you guys. It was awful. The worst part is we have watched bad, bad, hockey for years upon years!! I thought it was supposed to get better, not worse.

lol

Suck it Oilers! Go Sharks!

[pucked]

Something tells me the Oilers are going to come out on Fire. Still rooting for the home team. Go Sharks..

[Bubba83]

Sharks will need to weather the storm in the first I think. If they get out of that unscathed I think they'll win again, but I also think this game hinges a lot upon whether Boyle is in the lineup.

Go Oil!

[HockeyLady82]

LET'S GO SHARKS!!!

[pucked]

Per David Pollak, Boyle skating and pencilled in. No word on Demers yet. McLaren claimed off waiver wire by TML.

[CoyoteQ]

Go Sharks!

[pucked]

Looks like Boyle is officially in. Demers is a possibility. Go Sharks!

Horcoff is out, Oilers have recalled Lander.

Season series: This is the second of three meetings between the teams. San Jose scored six first-period tallies in a 6-3 win at Edmonton on Jan. 22.

Big story: With Chicago losing in a shootout at Minnesota on Wednesday night, the Sharks are now the only undefeated team remaining in the NHL. They’ll look to make it seven in a row against the high-flying Oilers.

Team scope:

Oilers: Nail Yakupov’s exciting start to his NHL career continued Wednesday night, as he beat Chad Johnson via the power play at 3:52 of overtime to lift Edmonton to a 3-2 victory at Phoenix. It was Yakupov’s team-leading fourth goal of the season and his first game-winner.

"It's another big goal for Nail. He seems to have a knack for scoring big goals,” Oilers forward Sam Gagner said. “He finds a way all the time. It's impressive."

Sharks: San Jose continued its winning ways Tuesday night, when it skated away with a 3-2 shootout victory against the Anaheim Ducks at HP Pavilion. The Sharks erased a 2-1 deficit with just 2:45 remaining in regulation on Logan Couture’s fourth goal of the season.

"We got to be excited that we put points in the bank and we were able to come back, but we have to tell it like it was," Sharks coach Todd McLellan said. "They were the better team. Didn't feel real good tonight with the flow of the game, with the management of players. Opportunities to execute, but we didn't do it. It was a frustrating night, but at least we found a way to win."

Who’s hot: Oilers winger Taylor Hall has a goal and seven assists in six games, while Sam Gagner is 2-5-7 and Jordan Eberle is 3-3-6. … Sharks forwards Joe Thornton and Patrick Marleau are tied for the League lead with 14 points through the first six contests, while Joe Pavelski is 3-8-11 and Couture is 4-5-9.

Injury report: Edmonton has numerous players on IR, including Ben Eager (concussion), Ryan Jones (eye), Theo Peckham (hip and Andy Sutton (knee). … Sharks defenseman Brent Burns (lower body) is skating and could be close to making his season debut. Forward Jason Demers is out with a wrist injury.
