  • In 1980, Jim Corsi started in net for the Oilers in a game vs. the Montreal Canadiens and is credited with one point in the match.

  • Tim Jackman (Islanders) decides that he likes getting his face smashed and reckons scrapping with two Edmonton Oilers (Zack Stortini and Ethan Moreau) is better than one!

I've been through the ups and downs and the highs and the Lowes, the Bonsignores and the McDavids, the Sathers and the Eakins but I'll never leave my Oilers, no matter what! They're with me until the end and then some. GO OILERS GO!
