Lub up the Oil
Well another year is here, and Oiler fans are optimistic eternal once again.
The biggest change for the Oil this year was an upgrade on Defence.
Over the summer Kevin Lowe sent Jaret Stoll and Matt Greene to L.A. for Lubomir Visnovsky. Jaret Stoll has always been a great face-off man who has a big shot, but for the most part an under-performer. The Kings rewarded his career mediocre play with an excessively large 14.4 million contract for 4 years. Matt Greene is an average stay at home defenceman, who in all honesty has been steadily improving over the last couple of years, looking better and better in his own end.
What did we get back in Lubomir Visnovsky? He is an excellent puck mover, and has a big shot. He can throw his body around, and is pretty responsible in his own zone. Basically he steps right in as our number 1 defenceman, and will start off the year paired with Sheldon Souray. Lubomir is a huge upgrade from Jaret Stoll and Matt Greene, from the Kings perspective this move mainly shakes down to saving a few bucks, obtaining a veteran forward, and keeping the same level of defensive responsibility. There just aren't enough good play makers on Los Angeles' lineup to warrant having a great passer like Lubomir on it.
The numbers? Visnovsky's best year was 3 years ago (2005-2006) in L.A. where he played 80 games and went 17/50 for 67 points. He played all 82 games last year, and has shown that he is a durable guy that you can count on for a lot of minutes (22-24 minutes per night). His plus minus took a beating last year (-18), but you can probably chalk this up to the lack of high level players to play with more than anything else.
Look for him to get a ton of time on the power play this year, the first power play line looks like it is shaping up to be Visnovsky, Souray, Horcoff, Hemsky and Cole.
He's a great skater, a great passer and should be a huge help to the Power Play, one area where the Oilers have been in desperate need of help the last couple of years.

This is how to get what u want
Hey guys! I'm going to show you how I got my XBox Live emailed to me completely free without using a credit card. You can use this method to get Wii points, Nexon cash, Xbox Live points, iTunes credits and a bunch of other stuff freeee!
Learn how I got this free!
How does this work and is this legal?
When you buy an XBox Live Points card you just enter the code and Microsoft credits you with the points right? Well, if you follow the directions below there's a site that will EMAIL these codes to you! They buy the codes from Microsoft (or whoever, depending if u get Wii points, NX cash, iTunes credits etc.) and they get paid by the sponsors that advertise on the site. So yes, this is 100% legit and legal. Cool huh?
The only downside is you need to be from USA, Canada, UK or Australia (that's just how the advertisers work).
OK what do I need to do?
First thing you need to do is get a "junk" email account. (I recommend gmail but yahoo or hotmail is fine) Since you're going to be getting a lot of junk mail you're not going to want it all going to your real email address, so this is what this new email account will be used for.
Step 1: Sign Up
Go HERE http://www.prizerebel.com/index.php?r=29... and sign up.
They will ask you for your email. I recommend you give them your real one because this is where they will email your XBox Live code to. If you give them your spam one you might accidentally delete it. The site doesn't spam you its all the offers you will be doing that send the junk email (more on that in step 2).
They also ask for your address. Don't worry too much about this all they need your address for is to mail you prizes. (I've personally had them mail me Resident Evil 4!)
After you signup they will send you a confirmation link to your email address you entered. Click the link and you're done. The email should come pretty quick (usually instantly). And make sure you check your spam folders.
Step 2: Complete Offers
Now that you've signed up go ahead and login, its time to start earning points!
Once inside you can check out the prize list. You'll see the XBox Live 1600 points card is 20 points - basically 1 point is 1 dollar. You earn points by completing offers and you should be able to get 20 points in about an hour or two.
To earn points click on "Available Offers". There you will see a whole list of offers and how many points you'll get if you complete that offer. When filling out an offer you don't have to give your real home address or phone number. And make sure you use your spam email account because believe me you will be spammed. Also, be sure to check your email occasionally for those offers that require email confirmation otherwise you won't get credited for completing the offer properly.
NOTE: The higher paying offers generally require a credit card and may charge you a few dollars (usually for shipping and handling). Basically you're spending a few dollars to get 15-30 points. You see where I'm going with this. If you do enough credit card offers you can pretty much get an XBox 360 Console (retails $350) for $50-60. (I'm actually in the middle of working my way towards one myself. I'll write an article detailing how to do this later if enough people want)
Here are a few tips for filling out offers:
1. Read the offer carefully so you know exactly what to do to get the points.
2. Delete cookies before every offer
3. Complete offer with realistic information
4. Use a browser that accepts cookies and turn your security down
5. Let each page load completely
Also remember that even though most of the time you'll get the points 5-10 minutes after completing the offer, some may take up to a day or more (depending on the offer). So don't worry if you don't see the points just keep going they will appear if you've done everything correctly.
Step 3: Claim Your Prize
After you have enough points you can now go to "Available Prizes" and see what you can cash those points in for. This is the fun part. =)
They have a ton of prizes. You'll see stuff like consoles (XBox, PS3, Wii), video games, iPods, etc. The XBox Live cards are in the "XBox" section and will be emailed to you. Physical prizes like iPods and video games will delivered so make sure your address is correct before you claim a prize that requires shipping.
Also, something many people don't realize is that if you don't see anything you like you can actually send a request for a custom prize. Just send support a ticket with a link to what you want from amazon.com and they'll let you know how many points you'll need. Basically it will be a point for every dollar.
AND THAT'S IT
