9/16/09 Isles/Oilers JT's First NHL Exhibition Game

We are getting close to the drop of the puck...

JT starting with Weight and Bergenheim.

Tavares wins the opening faceoff.

Tavares, DiBenedetto, & de Haan...feel like i'm streaming OHL action again.

Tavares with a chance in front...Isles score. Gervais. Good work by JT!

JT with Figren and Haskins now.Eberle hits the post.

Tavares back with Weight and Bergenheim now...Isles controlling the play.

Jordan Eberle looks like he's ready for prime time, he has easily been the Oilers best player in the first period.

Tavares killing penalty.

Nathan Lawson with a highlight reel save off Hemsky.

Johnny looks very confident out there...good positioning no trepidation.

End of first. Good period for the Isles.

Good first shift in the 2nd for Tavares...creating chances but no sugar yet.

Sloppy 2nd thus far.

Souray has broken the glass behind the net...twice in this period.

End of 2nd period. Uneventful.

Start of the 3rd.
Nathan Lawson has been the story thus far.

JT with a nice little move in front the goal comes up empty on the backhand.
Penner ties it up 1-1.

Oilers up 2-1...JT and the kids get caught running around.

Tavares creates a couple of chances on a PP that comes up short...looks a little tired from the flu. de Haan has been very impressive.

de Haan scores and makes me look good...2-2.

Tavares with a nice steal from Gagner...just like in the backyard when they were kids, well they're still kids.
Souray makes it 3-2.

Oilers win.
Tavares solid but unspectacular...de Haan best player on the ice tonight for the Isles.
