" If the Chicago Blackhawks left Edmonton in a huff last time because the Oilers were trying for 10, imagine how they felt on Thursday, when ONE GUY almost did it.

Of course, it's tough for any team to keep pace with one of the most astonishing games the NHL has ever seen, so maybe they shouldn't feel so bad about losing 8-4 to a 22-year-old centre.

Making their first visit to Edmonton since they were trounced 9-2 here in November, the Blackhawks ran into a determined little piece of history named Sam Gagner, who almost single-handedly dismantled the Hawks with four goals and four assists to join Wayne Gretzky and Paul Coffey as the only other Oilers to register eight-point nights."
