Canes/Oil tonight

Tonight, the Oilers will be in Raleigh for the first time since June 19, 2006. That was, of course, the greatest moment in the history of the Whaler/Canes franchise. Right now, the Canes are about as far away from that high as they could possibly get. They have lost four in a row, seven of ten and they're mired in a morass of bad hockey, apathy and general malaise.

I can't provide any insight for tonight's game other than that Michael Leighton will be in goal.
