What a shift

Ha ha, overpassing to get cookies.

He got a talkin to from Huska. But I don't think it was full hearted. Place close to the edge, man. Just know where the edge. Tkachuk learned it, but Tkachuk also didn't need to play hard to stay in the lineup.

Enough of the posts. Take the distance between the posts and divide by 2. Answer = target. Math lesson done.

Shut up with the Bouch bomb crap. Save that for a n Oiler broadcast Louie.

Friendly fire on Hyman. Douche Bomb.

Some pretty weak calls in this game. All by one of the Oiler penalties were easy calls. Only one of the Flames penalties were real ones.

That's weird, it looked like they were calling the Oilers, but it ended up being us?

It's been far better the last 4 games.

Yes, I was thinking that as well. But we never use the other player to fake out the goalie. Look at the other palyer and shoot. Goalie has no idea.

We gotta be smarter on the 2 on 1's. We shoot every time now, and it's what the goalie is expecting. Never even fake the pass.

He turns his body so the puck is completely away from the defender. People give him too much respectr. You can just bump him and he has no response.

I've only ever seen them on the menus at the mom & pop donair/pizza places. I like making them because when I get a large donair, there is too much meat to finish. I just pick off some pieces and freeze them until I make them. Gotta have the donair sauce to go with it. I don't make it myself but it's stupid easy to make.

The zone D has issues with McD's puck-hogginess. He goes in and out of the coverage zones. BTW, I'm making donair egg-rolls. Do they seel those in Tranna? I know you can get them in Nova Scotia, but they are bloodly expensive. Pretty easy to make. Just use leftover donair (if you have such a thing) and egg roll wraps.

He was busy hacking Hyman instead of watching Nuge. Everyone on the ice knew it was going to Draibaby. This period was much like the play we had when we beat the crap out of them. Only thing missing was finishing on the early chance.

I was forgetting that one, only because it was a fake stadium game, in a "neutral" location.

They haven't given Markstrom many (if any) starts against the Oilers this year. I don't think you grow a ton playing against the Oilers when they likely get 5 PP's.

The shot clock on SN is off. Three times it went to 6, then went back to 5. Maybe they called back the shots, but it seemed like real shots taken.

We are forcing the Oilers to do things they aren't used to. When they take a bunch of penalties, they don't win that often. That said, we have been all over the map on the two PP's so far.

Backlund on a 2 on 1 and he passes off when he has a clear view of the net. Nothing happens because Sharky was not close to being open.

If we end up 8th, we get passed by the 9th place team with a unlikely lotto win. There are teams that never win lotto picks. The year Lafrenier went 1st, NY was 16th and ended up 1st. If the odds were that unlikely for a team out of the top 5 to win, how did they? Not really serious. I hope we geta good player at 8.

We are well below 500 in that 10. Ottawa and MTL both at exactly 500 Zona is 6-4-0 last 10. It's too hard to say how they play the remaining games. All of those teams of capable of beating any NHL team.

I mean it's quite possible that the coach knows a lot more about what the players are doing than us casual observers. For instance, Huberdeau could suck in a game but he is still giving 100%. When Weegar is talking about floaters, I honestly have no idea who he means. Guys that won't block a shot (Backlund)? Guys that avoid hits? No idea.

Honzek was a player picked in range of when we picked, so it was a safe pick if you like. I think there were better choices than a LW, though I think Connie suggested he was a C. If all that is available at our turn is a LHS LW, then I would look elsewhere. Trade down a spot or two, and still get the best avaiable RW/C/D. Honzek can play because in the AHL of the November birthday. I think we get a very good pick wherever we finish. SEA and BUFF pulling away from us. I don't think it matters if OTT or MTL passes us, because one of them will win the lotto.

What Huska said about Zary is appropriate. He said young guys don't deserve to play if they aren't playing at their best. He quoted Weegar's comments about showing up. The only issue I have with that is that some of the vets are in that boat but never get sat. Zary maybe deserved to sit, though I thought he was no worse than his linemates that last game.
