They might have 4 braincells combined between everyone on those boards.

Rejean is a classic.

 

[snag]

Maybe it's a strategy, then once playoffs come...bam bam bam bam....we shall see!

I hope it is psychological warfare

 

[I am the Liquor]

1. Leave Brown in Tempe.

2. Change the locks on the doors at Roger’s Place.

3. Plant some H in his hockey bag and call the cops.

Also on pace for his best assist total ever. Just the way it goes sometimes.

He is a playmaking genius no doubt, just a stat I would not have predicted

That’s a lot of work. Let’s just cancel his contract and bonus for let’s say, offending Katz son or something. Worked for Hawks.

Evan Hughchard

 

[harpoon]

Gagner was not strong today

Hate to say it because I love Gags, but he looks done.

 

[Oilers in NS]

Bettman will move the team to a smaller building after that game.


I was thinking about the Canucks. Whenever I see them they are pedal to the metal. I wonder how they will be down the stretch.

PS I'm sure they will come here and tell us.

It’s in their DNA to be a yellow team. All I see when I see Vancouver in SCF is Sedin sister getting speed bagged by Marchand and team doing nothing

 

[ThePhoenixx]

Also lmao at Bjugstad treating this game like it was game 7.

An audition?

 

[ThePhoenixx]

Knob is too stupid. Should of never took hyman off mcdavid line

Should write gooder when call others stupid.

 

[ThePhoenixx]

gary

...also helps bring down the salary cap. Owners like that.

 

[Ibanez]

Hate to say it because I love Gags, but he looks done.

Yah he’s cooked. We need some real competition down on that line. Bring lavoie back up

 

[StoveTopStauffer]

So good. Courtesy of u/gameofchat.

 

[Satoru Gojo]

Ok that’s all I was saying. Both guys were good coaches for their time but seriously hard nosed asshole coaches are becoming a distant memory in todays NHL.

Torts is a tough coach but still a great one in 2024, as is Bruce Cassidy and Peter Laviolette

Coaches shouldn't handle teams like Babcock did but at the same time a coach shouldn't be a players best friend

I saw that way too much in Ottawa with DJ Smith (Sens are my other team) and it feels like Wood was being that way as well

 

[unicornBLOOD]

Skinner knows he can be better and needs to be better in tougher games, but he still made some saves when the team needed them.

i don't fault Skinner on any of the 3 goals today, Bjugstad went bar down on a 2 on 1, Bjugstad went far post and in on a 2 on 1, and he got beat on a 1 timer from the dot on the PK by a shot he didn't even see. Sometimes players make great shots/plays, yes, even player on opposing teams.

 

[belair]

Hate to say it because I love Gags, but he looks done.

Make no mistake. I'm glad he's here and I'd love it if he pulled a Spezza saying 'don't claim me'. But I think he's not one of the 23 on our playoff roster.

 

[Stoneman89]

Best game Brown's played in a while. His trips to get popcorn were epic.

 

[GOilers88]

Should write gooder when call others stupid.

More gooder*

McDavid is only 11 points behind the center line Kuch made up 2 points tonight and still has 5 games in hand he is going to catch both those sukkahs and grab his rightfully owned Art Ross

He might want to start shooting the puck and scoring goals. Assists are great, but he's on pace for the lowest goal scoring total since his first full season (16-17). If he was shooting more, he'd probably be within a few points of Kucherov now. He's left a lot of goals on the table by over passing this year.

 

[walktheboulavard]

Kane haters in shambles. 21 goals already and can chuck knucks with the best of em. Tell me again how he's replaceable.

Shows how good he is that he's having one of his worst years statistically but he's still probably going to win the Art Ross lol. What a freak.

 

[The Panther]

This was one of those games where you knew if the Oilers woke up at some point, they'd rally and win, but there is always the question of if they're going to wake up....

Well, they did, in the 3rd, with predictable results.

I haven't watched a game in Glendale for a while. Good Lord, is it like that every night?? Must have been 70% Oilers' fans -- in other words, there were at least 400 Oilers' fans there.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Cribbed from Spector. I guess the panic trade Kane can chill abit

With two more goals Kane is quietly on pace for 30 goals and 50 points; pretty good production for a player earning $5.125 million. He’s found comfort on the left side of either McDavid or Draisaitl, and gets his tucks with very little power-play time (five PP points all season).

Plus, he leads the team in hits, and is tied for ninth in the NHL with Brady Tkachuk.
