Why 98 and 56 are not on a plane to Bako this very moment has me scratching my head.

This organization should write a book on How to Destroy A Prospect In 10 Easy Steps.

 

[space321]

Good lord just send them down already

 

[Burnoutboi]

Mew Mew for GM!

This is horse ****. Jesse deserves to play after his last game. IMO the last game was one of Chiasson's weakest since being bumped up, I wonder if his wrist is truly 100%.

I could see it now, Jesse sent down and Yamamoto given another 5 games to do Jack **** on the first line.

Very frustrating to say the least. Get them on a plane ASAP to Bakersfield. Pick up Quennville in return trip

It does sound like they are trying to trade JP based of Todd's comments with Rishaug.

Is there a link to those comments? What did he say?

 

[Del Preston]

What the f*** kind of answer is that?

 

[MinimaMoralia]

What the **** kind of answer is that?

An Oiler brass kind of answer.
So Kafka-esque it hurts.

 

[Jeff Lebowski]

Koskinen better get the start. I have no confidence in Talbot right now. I hope he can turn it around soon, but for now, Koskinen is the superior goalie.

 

[RegDunlop]

What the **** kind of answer is that?

Jesus
W/O knowing context, that does sound like he is perhaps being shopped.

Hopefully he means that if he can't gain confidence here (with the Oilers) he means that somewhere else is with Bako. If not then he needs to gtfo as coach, you don't talk like that about your players in public.

 

[RegDunlop]

Yeah

There's that too.
IF indeed it is being discussed, that's pretty irresponsible not only for the team and player involved, but also for the quality of potential trade.

Foolish

 

[NeverForget06]

I'm assuming the worst and hoping for the best, in terms of this game, season, and the futures of JP and Yamo.

Meh, who needs ice-time to develop?

"Its an age old chicken and the egg question. A player will say he needs icetime to develop, but I'd argue that he needs to develop in order to get the icetime." - McLellan

 

[Blue Line Turnover]

Did McLellan actually say "sked" instead of schedule?

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Well at least they are enroute to Cali.

 

[CycloneSweep]

I could see us getting blown out this game unless they have their heads screwed back on straight and our goalies start making saves again.

I just watched the interview and no he did not. Rishaug is paraphrasing.

Bako is exactly what he meant.

If it ends up with Tmac fired, I'll view that L as a moral W

 

[KCC]

EDM needs to battle harder on a nightly basis. Instead they always revert back to their old ways.

 

[RegDunlop]

I think we see an adrenaline boost and hard fought game tomorrow.

At least they better.
