The man. The myth. Tonight's first star.


Ladies and gentlemen, here's tonight's first star, Tom Gilbert. I went to see the Oilers' first pre-season home game tonight, and I liked what I saw.

The Oil took out Florida with a score of 2-1. Gilbert got the first goal of the game, with assists by Schremp and Pettersson. Florida followed some minutes later with a first-period goal on Roli.

Nothing happened in the second period, except for the major booing of Todd Bertuzzi. The third period brought about a very nice goal by Smyth (assists went to Horcoff and "Pants" Pisani). Roloson earned himself the third star. The second went to Smyth, and the first star went to that hottie pictured above, Tom Gilbert.

On the jersey front: I only saw one Pronger jersey, one less than the number of Comrie jerseys I saw. And Pisani jerseys are definitely on the rise.
