New Information About The Edmonton Oilers Hockey Team
The Edmonton Oilers Ontario-born center one Sam Gagner is no doubt likely to start the season on the bench as an injured reserve after the MRI revealed the worst that he had sustained a high-ankle sprain in his left foot. Gagner had tried to play down the injury by referring to the sprain as “low-grade” but the head coach one Tom Renney is not putting anything to chance saying that if Gagner would be rushed back to play before the medical staff give a satisfactory report.
The Edmonton Oilers first league game will however be against the Pittsburgh Penguins at Rexall Place on Sunday, October 9th. Gagner will therefore not be rushed to play bearing in mind his position. The team is placing faith in the very capable cover, Swedish rookie, Anton Lander. Lander has really impressed during his training and the coach is likely to reward his hard work and diligence by playing him in Gagner’s position.
It’s not known if this will affect the season but with the help of loyal fans cheering the team on. Gagner is said to be a dependable center but the team will pull through with Lander and the roar of the crowd.Still bored?
