I'm not going to say Morrison is our saviour yet either, but he has been
very good in the games he's been in. I don't know if there has been
much of a difference between our defensive play when he's in, I'd say
it's been the same whether Morrison or Jussi has been in goal.

True, and I think if it was a toss up between Conks and Jussi, I think
Jussi would get the short end of the stick IMO. Jussi has been good
this year, but I feel like both the Oilers brass and the fans expect
Conks to be ahead of Jussi, and if his play is equal to Jussi's when he
comes back, I think we might see the Oil saying goodbye to Jussi again
unfortunetly.

Same here, ride him until he has a bad game. I don't think he should've
been sat after his only loss, Jussi didn't play too good in the games he
was in since the loss.

Faceoffs Peca has been great, and he's been a great help to guys like
Stoll and Reasoner. But for 4 million a year I'd expect more offense
and way better defense from him.
