Just as the final player is coming off of the injured reserve list, Oilers’ head coach Tom Renney was struck in the head this morning with a puck.

With the Patriots battling the Giants in Super Boxl XLVI, it stands to reason that Canada doesn't have a dog in this fight. That didn't stop Ryan Whitney from taking a shot at the city of Vancouver anyways. "If the Pats hold on for this win does the city of Vancouver riot again?" the Oilers defenseman wondered.
