Awe-Struck!!!

SAM GANGER!?
Wow what a game last night! He Recorded 8 points consisting of 4 goals and 4 assists against Chicago and tied a franchise record set by The Great One himself!

If you didn't get a chance to watch the game, go check out the highlights of the Oilers' website. Sam Gagner was trending worldwide on Twitter last night and says that he "had 60 [congratulatory]texts last night, and 50 this morning [one of which] was from Gretzky and another from Coffey [(another 8-point game record holder from the Oilers)]" (@Nhl_Oilers, social media).

Although Sam was all 3 stars of the game, let's not forget that half of his points were to assists. Hall and Eberle each buried a shot and registered 3 assists each. D-man Ryan Whitney got a goal and Cam Barker also made a surprise return to the lineup after his injury and the blue-liner stepped into a "one-timer" and recorded his first goal in over 3 months!

I'm so stoked about this win, we're now tied with the Anaheim Ducks in the Western Conference for points, although the playoffs are still a dream at this point, I'm pretty proud that we're recording some wins again.
