Around the NHL Thread - Found the Missing #16

[Oilers in NS]

Would be awesome to see, but also gut wrenching. Nothing is worse than losing to the Oil. But I do agree, would be nice if two competitive Alberta teams could knock the crap out of each other in the post season. You guys look strong under Hitch, should make for an interesting rest of season!

I believe Dube is currently the odd man out especially given is contract status. We have the depth at forward that he's better served developing in the AHL. Guy often took bad shots, it's like he doesn't understand how to protect himself yet at the highest level. At times he also seemed overwhelmed, so I believe we need to roll slowly with him. When fully healthy with Backlund and Frolik there isn't really a spot that serves his development at this point in time. which is fine, we have enough depth in the bottom six and guys that suit that role better. What we could really use is another big bodied RW or C who can chip in every now ands then. Size is an issue for this team in the present.

Would also be nice if James Neal didn't pull his best Lucic on us and got going

Actually Hitch is using Lucic correctly now. Identity Line.

We gotta hope for BOA again . It was the best

The best part of the flames winning right now is all the salt from the coilers page. I love it.

I just wanted to know if it is normal for other fans pages to spend so much time focused on other teams?

We live rent free in their heads, especially anything to do with Tkachuk.

Fun fact, the Flames and Leafs now have the same Win-Loss-OT Loss record and the same goal differential.

But how can that be. Toronto is so much better then we are. Dont believe me just ask their fans.

It's extended further than that now. They're full on obsessed. It's funny to read but quite pathetic otherwise.

Some of the idiots over there wanting him to get hurt and injured are beyond stupid.

 

[Janks]

idiots

You just accurately described most of their entire fan base in one word, well done.

I haven’t watched one single full Oilers game, that didn’t include the flames this season. I find it highly amusing that a large number of them watch almost every flames game , also, how triggering Tkachuk is to them, it’s awesome.

It’s little brother syndrome. They talk big game, but really want to be just like us.

If these Thrill Kessel socks were under $10, I'd get them.

Lol I have the Monahan socks.

 

[Mr Snrub]

Klefbom out 6-8 weeks. I'm impressed that the Oilers defense has actually managed to get worse.

Russell is out too, I believe. Gonna be tough for them to keep up their play unless both Koskinen and Talbot become brick walls.

Haha that's awesome

 

[Pizza the Hutt]

Oilers trying to pull a Flames against the Canucks right now down 2 with a minute to go.


....And they've failed.

 

[DirtDiver]

hmmm looks like the coilers are going to lose to the nucks.

 

[JPeeper]

Oilers lose, Flames win.

All is right in the world on this Sunday night.

Edit: lol, half their post game thread is just complaining about the officiating. Every time they lose it's always the refs fault, no one elses.

 

[flamesforcup]

Their pre game poll was "how much will we win by." These guys have no shame any small amount of success and they think they are a dynasty. Their insufferable media plays a huge role in that too.

I dont think any other fanbase has such a victim complex. They got 4 first overalls and complain about the league!!! Every single game its just whining about refs, refs, refs, refs refs. So annoying.

It’s either the reffing or schedule makers. See below

Really the whole club hit a wall tonight. They’ve played 9 games in 17 nights, which is nearly unheard of.

Definitely unheard of. So rare the Flames just did it from November 30 to last night (17 nights) we played:

1) Kings
2) Hawks
3) Blue Jackets
4) Wild
5) Preds
6) Oilers
7) Flyers
8) Wild
9) Blues

Those darn schedule makers are up to no good with the Oilers schedule for sure...

I feel like the Oilers (and Devils) actually are going to be susceptible to shoddy schedule making this year due to their European series at the start of the season.

That's still not an excuse, however. Every team has to deal with challenges, so they aren't special in that regard.

On a similar note, I found myself actually rooting for the Canucks last night. Nice to see them get that win.
