The Oilers are still horrible

[bucbrett]

Blue Jackets win 4-3 in shootout.

 

 

2009-10:   Fall for Hall

 

2010-11:   No Wins for Hopkins

 

2011-12:   Fail for Nail

 

2013:        Slow, Painful Death for Seth

[angelduck]

Haha. It would be pretty funny if the Oilers took another forward, like Drouin or somebody over Jones. 

 

They need Seth Jones as bad as the Flyers need Seth Jones

[bucbrett]

The Oilers are so bad that they actually lowered property values in Detroit merely by playing there tonight.

[bucbrett]

Anyone with insomnia might want to tune in to Oilers/Preds momentarily. Well, Pekka Rinne is my favorite non-Oiler so there's that, I guess. I believe Nashville is last in the league in shots per game.

I'm feeling good- Oilers will win 2-1 due to Nashville's poor special teams.

*cue Mike Fisher hat trick*

[bucbrett]

In the most Oiler thing ever, Legwand dumps it in from center ice, Dubnyk plays it with all the defensive prowess of a nine year old playing his first little league game and it and it goes in. I am certain that was the hockey equivalent of a kid picking dandelions in the outfield as the ball goes by. Six F'n years of this.

This thread is turning into "Come watch Brett slowly lose his mind."

[bucbrett]

*SPOILER ALERT*

I was wrong.

If I had 250 million dollars, I'd buy the Oilers just so I could fire Steve Tambellini, Kevin Lowe, and Craig MacTavish.

[Angel Oracle]

Both Alberta franchises are in the dumps.

Has to be frustrating for a hockey crazy province.

[bucbrett]

4-0 Oil 1st period! I don't know what I'm watching but it's awesome!!!!!

[CanadianHalo]

4-0 Oil 1st period! I don't know what I'm watching but it's awesome!!!!!

Should be a good 3rd period. Going to flip over to that game as soon as this snoozefest in New Jersey is done

[bucbrett]

My God they won!!!! In Chicago!!!! Welcome back Shawn Horcoff!!!!!!

[angelduck]

The Oilers really helped the Ducks by  beating Chicago.

 

Well done Oilers!!

Congrats on the win bucbrett

[bucbrett]

Thanks I appreciate it. Man that was fun to watch.

[bucbrett]

Well, all the goodwill from the Chicago win is gone. The Oilers brought Scott Howson back as a scout. So now we have the man who destroyed the Blue Jackets working under the man who destroyed and is fumbling the rebuild of the Oilers all to hell.

[bucbrett]

Paajarvi with another beauty tonight. Batted his own rebound out of midair and into the net. Love that guy!

[bucbrett]

Excellent effort tonight by the Oil. That Paajarvi-Gagner-Yakupov line is a lot of fun!

[bucbrett]

Nice win last night for the boys.  Kostitsyn's shift on the Oilers' shorthanded goal was something to behold.  Preds were on a powerplay, Kostitsyn couldn't handle a pass, Gagner takes possession and Kostitsyn immedately quits on the play and goes off for a shift change while Gagner fed Petrell for the goal.  He left Weber and Pekka out to dry.  Worse yet, he didn't even get saddled with a -1 as he got off the ice before the goal.  Watch the bench go ballistic as he comes off for the change.

 

 

 

 

 

This week we've got San Jose and St. Louis.  As of this second, Edmonton is two out of the 8th seed, four out of the NW Division lead.  I sure hope that Center Ice has an Oilers feed for each game because I can't stand listening to Drew Remenda complain about all the missed calls the Sharks aren't getting.  Then I'll have to listen to Darren Pang do the same during the Blues game.

[angelduck]

Paajarvi has finally arrived. He's definitely got the speed and size to be a top 6 wing

LOL

 

Trotz was so pissed

How about it!  Not only will he no longer be seeing Oklahoma City, but he won't be seeing anything other than the top two lines.  I couldn't be happier about Mags tearing it up.

[mrwicked]

LOL

 

Trotz was so pissed

yeah that was a bone head play.

the fact that it was on the PP makes it even worse. other dman and the tender were hung out to dry.

he'll be sitting out the next game you would assume.

[Angel Oracle]

It sounds like the current Oliers' owner makes Peter Pocklington look like the greatest owner ever.

Granted the Oliers won 4 Cups in the 1980s before Gretz left for L.A. 

But Pocklington was an odd duck.

[bucbrett]

Daryl Katz is an odd one as well.  He's the owner of Rexall Pharmaceuticals and was an Oilers fan before he purchased the team from the Edmonton Investors Group.  He's a little too attached to Kevin Lowe if you ask me.  I guess he wants to maintain some sort of attachment to the dynasty.  He rarely speaks publicly unless it has to do with stadium funding.  Since the new stadium was approved by the City of Edmonton I haven't heard a peep from him.

 

 

I also fear that when Steve Tambellini is finally given his walking papers that Lowe will remain due to that attachment to the 80's.  Lowe needs to go as well.  I have no idea how he was promoted in the first place.  Everyone seems to fail upwards in that organization.

[bucbrett]

So far tonight Kostitsyn has managed to stay on the ice and has a goal and an assist. I liked "well, screw it I'm outta here" Sergei Kostitsyn better.

[bucbrett]

Nikolai Khabibulin finds some of his old magic en route to a 43 save shutout of St. Louis. Nice job pumping up that deadline trade value, Nik!

Oilers win despite being outshot 43-19. I will take it.

[wpghalo]

Im die hard OILERS and JETS fan. I live in wpg.

Oilers r young u cant just Win with 18y & 21 year olds. It takes time but clearly oil r starting to rise. Theyre moving up! 3 pts from 8th.
