  1. HAsn't looked good since the friendly fire incident.
  2. How many games are the Oilers surrendering the first goal? Is it 22 now? Or more.
  3. Not sure Sutter makes the best choice at the end of the PP. You know it's going to be McD and Drai there for the last little bit. 4th line guys and 3rd pairing.
  4. Nurse could have gotten 2 there. Playing without the helmet and a X check.
  5. Kylngton seems to play McDavid really close. Smart.
  6. Gaudreau not back on the ice yet? Good looks like he's back in
  7. Stop tyring to take Gaydreau out of the game. Friendly fire is tough on players.
  8. That should have been Dec. 27th game. Now we get stuuck in their barn again. Blech, I hate that puke orange. Like someone drank an orange pop and puked on a jersey.
  9. Wolfie back in nets tonight. Against the Silver Knights Up 3-1 in the 2nd. Knighs goal scorer.... Wait for it..... Sven Baertschi
  10. And Kenny is in California with the scouts. Can the owner step in and fire the coach and GM by Skype? Or Zoom, I gyess since Skype is so 2010's.
  11. The Panthers were the team McD has scored the most against of any team. Yes, McD does make it tough on us, but he don't look right in the head. Wouldn't face the media after the last loss. Last time a coach was on the hotseat and the team was spirling, they played us and lost. Todd fired the next week. Let's continue the tradition.
  12. No Kassian or Barrie. Makes it a closer matchup. 1/2 the Oilers lineup is AHL quality. Or washed up NHL'ers. Koskinen has always played us pretty well, so I'm not prediicting anything right now. Last thing we want to be is slumpbusters. Last time a coach was on the hotseat, a loss to the Flames got him fired. Let's continue the tradition.
  13. Last night, the Heat finally beat Henderson. The AHL version of Vegas. Wolf gets a 3-1 win. Pelts with the GWG. Kinnvall gets his first game after months of rehab and get a primary assist on the GWG.
  14. One last one. I expect a good game tonight, but if it's a Flames multi-goal lead in the 3rd, the POOJ (probability of Oiler Jerseys) is close to 100%.
  15. I said elsewhere that I was hoping for the Oilers to beat the Cats. It would have allowed them to relax a bit and start a new slump. They played really hard in the 1st and Bob kept them at bay. Markstrom can do the same, when he is playing well. He has had good and bad. What is key for the Flames is to score in the first period (or at least first) and the doubt will cause them to blow up. The other thing is to play them physical, because they will shut down. If they don't get a bunch of PP chances, they are going to get dirty. Saying all that, I looked at prices of tickets for tonight. $68 for a seat. When has that ever been the case? Saturday night. BOA. Insane.
  16. Foegele is pretty much on par over 82 games as to where he has been the last 3 seasons; 30 point pace. That's more like struggling to improve. Perhaps that is all he will ever be. He's -11, which is likely a product of playing on a team that doesn't score much 5v5. Signing Keith, Barrie and Ceci, while losing two defensive D like Bear and Larsson, seems like a real backwards move. I don't llove Larsson, but he was a thorn in our sides when he played well. Bear was just developing into a decent RD. Barrie is and was a tire fire defensively, so I don't get the need. Add to this waste of cap, they actually overused cap because they knew that Klefbom would not play. Nuge re-signed to full term. Nurse given top D pay next season. Not only have they screwed up the cap this year, but they presently can't re-sign Puljujarvi to anything other than another bridge deal or replace a UFA Koskinen. What's concerning now is that Hyman and Puljujarvi have gone silent. Zack silent in the last 11 games. Ouljujarvi silent for the last 6. Nuge (when he was playing) has 3 goals in 30 games.
  17. 5v5 scoring mostly non-existent. I know it's a flawed stat, but.... McD +4 Drai +3 Hyman -9 Gaudreau +20 Lindholm +23 Tkachuk +17 When you have two guys with a combined 45 goals, how are they not +10 each?
  18. Dang, was sorta hoping the Oilers would get the win so they could start another losing streak Saturday. Instead, we get the ultra-desperate Oilers team willing to do anything to get a W. We have some guys that will fight anyone from the Oilers, but should we have to break a nail against that bunch of p*ssies? You know Nurse will try to get away with some dirty hits away from the eyes of the refs. I'm worried about the Flames players breaking an ankle....on a discarded Oilers jersey. Or a fighter getting a tooth stuck in their knuckle from punching Kassian.
