can Brewer stay in Edmonton after this game? And I had no idea Sami Salo was still in the NHL.

 

[czar99]

Can I just start the post game thread early? We're going to lose anyways.

 

[Mr Forever]

The weather in Tampa Bay is better and their team is better

 

[Consultant]

The scary thing about the all downer we're sure to lose mentality is that this club is essentially 100% healthy. And against a team we actually stack up well against... Only person to blame here for me is the coach.

Already done

 

[Oiltankjob Fail]

Already done

And it was locked and removed and rightfully so,

And it was locked and removed and rightfully so,

That's too bad but it's kind of laughable how the Oilers have absolutely no chance of winning in any of these games played against the top teams

 

[nexttothemoon]

I'm interested in seeing Kucherov in this game.

He's who I wanted the Oilers to draft for their 2nd round pick instead of Musil. I think Kucherov is going to be VERY good and would have been a good teammate for Yakupov.

I want Hall to have a good game just because I know Stevie Y is watching

 

[Shanahanigans]

Chalk up another L. Someone mentioned that the Oilers are 2-23-3 against playoff teams. lol

That's impressive.

 

[lakai17]

I have always been sold on the Perron-Gagner-Yakupov line.

 

[Cerebral]

I've watched about 15 minutes combined of the last 8 to 10 games. I can't make myself watch this stuff - it just gets too frustrating. I'm watching a lot more Raptors games and it's hilarious as while the Oilers are just sliding and playing worse and worse hockey, the Raptors are starting to pass the ball, play defence and are climbing up the standings. I want to see Yakupov do well though so I might have to watch a bit tonight with him on a line with Gagner and Perron.

 

[Connor McSaviour]

Who really gives a **** anymore. As if we haven't tried those lines before and they've failed. The kid line is a horrible line, why can't anyone see that?

 

[GretzkytoKurri9917]

Another regulation loss.

 

[Playa Hejda]

I almost feel bad making Tampa spend money on a flight and hotel. Wouldn't sending the points overnight with UPS have been more cost effective for everyone?

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

I feel bad for all those fans who bought tickets to see Stamkos.

 

[Starbuds]

The roster announcement is in less than 48 hours. Don't think it matters at this point.

 

[lakai17]

At least Marincin is in the lineup.

 

[nhlisajoke]

i know this team obviously sucks but why do I feel bad when there is $7.50 tickets available and I can't go? like I feel im not being true to myself by buying cheap tics and going to have a good laugh on how bad we are....any other addicts feel the same way?

 

[Gord]

he was being watched the last two games, too.
that didn't seem to end up well for Hall.

Olympic team management already have what they need to know.
Unless hall gets 4 goals and 6 points tonight, he's not making the team.

 

[OnTheBrink]

I was hoping to see gagner not in tonight's line up wishful thinking I guess.

 

[McGoMcD]

any one know who is starting?

no. it's worth it for them to enjoy this Canadian weather and be reminded why they play in Florida.
