Despite the fact that fighting is becoming less and less common in hockey, most fans still love a good, old-fashioned hockey fight. Tonight those fans got a treat as Vincent Desharnais and Jonah Gadjovich dropped the gloves for an extended tilt.
At this point, every game is a must-win for the Oilers. If the team is going to live up to expectations and at least make the playoffs they will be forced to go on a long stretch of winning. Tonight they were unable to accomplish that goal as they eventually lost to the Panthers by a final score of 5 to 3. It is another brutal loss in the nightmarish season for Oilers fans.
The Oilers are now 5-11-1, still 7th place in a weak pacific division. Their next assignment is against a tough Hurricanes team so things will not be getting any easier for them until they play the Capitals on Friday.
