Dec 18/00: vs Detroit.
Georges' 5th goal came against the wings on a hard work play. He
brought the puck in and started the play which led to him firing a shot
that just slithered by the goalie. It almost held up as his 2nd game
winner but the Wings got a late one to tie it up.

Dec 20/00: vs Vancouver.
Georges seems to have Vancouver's number. This is his third goal
against this team this month. Georges had been flying all night and
missed some pretty good chances. On this one he was able to tip a
point shot up over Essensa for the first goal of the Oiler comeback.

Jan 01/01: vs St. Louis.
Georges went to the front of the net, took an Ethan Moreau pass and banged
it in the net on his second effort. Seven goals before the A.S. break
puts Georges on a pace to shatter last years total of 8. |

Jan 14/01: vs Ottawa.
Georges was waiting in front of the net, and took a great pass from Mike
Comrie, which he wristed point blank at Lalime. It looked like Lalime

on pace for a great season.

we all love.

Jan 13/03: vs Columbus.
2nd goal - Georges best ever goal. He held the puck for about 30
seconds fighting guys off behind the net, came out and was stopped on his

was working hard in front of the net to get position on Lowry. He
got it and was able to direct a pass behind Turek for the game winner. |

Apr 12/03: vs Dallas
(Game 3 of 1st Round Playoffs). Georges took a feed deep behind the goal
line and skated out front to put the puck between Turco's pads. This was
a huge goal in the 3rd period which tied up the game. The Oilers
got momentum from this and went on to score 2 more goals & win the
game. |
|
Jan 29/04: vs Chicago
(first goal of the season!). Georges fed Moreau a nice pass and went to the front of the net to deflect Moreau's backhander past the goalie. 1st goal in 47 games but no jump into the glass because he wasn't sure he was going to get credit for it. |
|
Jan 31/04: vs LA
(second goal of the season - back to back games!). Georges caused a turnover on the forecheck, then when a King was going to clear the puck Georges tied up his stick so Bishai could grab the puck and feed it back to Georges for a nice goal, followed by an epic glass leap.

Feb 11/04: vs ATL
(third goal of the season). Georges played well all night but on this shift Ryan Smyth was on his line. Ryan was parked behind the goal crease and Georges sent a nice pass back to him & went for the net with his stick down. Ryan sent the puck back to Georges right on the tape and Georges tapped in a beauty. One of the nicer give and goes of this season.

Mar 10/04: vs COL
(5th goal of the season)Out on the PP Georges backs away from his man in front of the net and calls for the puck. Smyth feeds him from behind the net and Georges makes no mistake on the one timer to tie up the game.
