Road Swing Continues
Published on November 8, 2010 under Central Hockey League (CHL)
Tulsa Oilers News Release
Go West: The Tulsa Oilers head to the mountains and the badlands this weekend for two road games. The Oilers travel to Colorado to face the Eagles on Friday and then travel to Rapid City to battle the Rush on Saturday. Both games start at 8:05 p.m. Central time and can accessed via the internet at www.tulsaoilers.com and CHL TV.
Wild Week: The Oilers had an especially difficult week, compounded by an unusual travel delay. The bus the Oilers rent for their travels caught fire on Friday afternoon, and the team was delayed making its way to Missouri for Friday's game. In spite of the travails, the Oilers outshot Missouri 36-29 but lost the game 4-2. The 36 shots on goal matched the season high for the Oilers. With a replacement bus available, the Oilers made the trek to Mississippi but lost 4-1 to the RiverKings on Saturday night.
At Long Last: The Oilers broke a five game power play goal drought when Harrison Reed scored on the man advantage at Missouri on Friday. His goal cut the lead to 3-2 at the time, and ended a streak of 32 power plays without a goal.
More Reed: Reed scored both goals for the Oilers on Friday, it was his second two goal game of the season, and fifth for the Oilers this season. In spite of five close calls, the Oilers have yet to register a hat trick this season.
Road Ends: The two games this weekend will lead into the Oilers first home game in 18 days when they host the Allen Americans on Thursday November 18th. Following this weekend, the Oilers will have played nine road games and only three home games.
Tickets Here: Season tickets for the 2010-11 season are still available by calling the Oilers office at 918-632-PUCK (7825).
