by Jes
This off-season just continues to get worse for the Oilers.

The Columbus Blue Jackets have signed defenseman Jan Hejda to a two-year contract, club General Manager Scott Howson announced today. As is club policy, terms were not disclosed.
Hejda, 29, tallied one goal and eight assists for nine points, 20 penalty minutes and averaged 20:23 of ice time in 39 games with the Edmonton Oilers during the 2006-07 season, which was his first in North America. He also appeared in five games with Hamilton of the American Hockey League, collecting 0-3-3 and 21 penalty minutes.

Remember, that ONE goal was a big one.

Hej, Hej, Hejda!
Congratulations to Edmonton Oilers defenseman Jan Hejda, a Hockey Rants sponsored product of Slavia Prague, who scored his first NHL goal last night.
The goal gave the Oilers a 2-1 OT victory over the LA Queens, so it was a biggie.
Now, I know cheering for an Oilers player to score is akin to admitting to fantasizing about being adopted by the Canadian Tire family, but Hejda is worth the effort.
So, here's the video of Hejda popping his goal-scoring cherry.
