Sooo can we still trade them Halak?

I bet they regret not trading for a goalie now

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

They're a veteran team with multiple SC winners, 1 SC game 7 finalist and lots of potential in the line up playing BEHIND the winners and finalists.

And Quick doesn't look half bad.

The thing about LA is they have some really good defensive centers (Kopitar, Danault). That coupled with some good young D makes them a threat. Losing Doughty hurts them, but if Quick can keep outperforming his counterpart at the other end, I like the Kings’ chances.

Ya know. We’re probably pretty lucky the Sedins retired because if they hadn’t Jimbo would have traded them to another contender.

But Gillis.

 

[wonton15]

Edler looked pretty decent tonight too. He has aged for sure but he played a pretty efficient game.

 

[Josepho]

absurd image

 

[mathonwy]

It would have been nice to have Alex in the lineup this year.

Like a serious hockey team.

Mcmuffin needs somebody to yell at still lol

It’s been over 30+ years since the Oilers developed a franchise goaltender, they have been missing at that position for decades.

Having Mike Smith in the blue paint is the same as having Tyler Myers in your top 4.

Sooner or later you're gonna get f***ed.

All the more confusing as to why they traded away the pick instead of drafting Wallstedt

This constant betting stuff is nauseating. It’s a plague on sports in the UK and in Australia/NZ and it’s a shame it’s migrated here.

It. f***ing. Sucks.

It sucks for adults. It sucks for kids. It’s massively hypocritical and is encouraging people to follow sports for all the wrong reasons. It also contributes to the misunderstanding of who’s actually good at hockey (and fantasy sports are guilty of this).

Next year Darnell Nurse will start making $9.25 million for 8 years. He looked like one of Edmonton’s worst D last night.
Woof!

You just love to see it

Evander Kane was a great addition.

Not adding anymore offensive depth (lol Brassard) or a legitimate goaltender is sinking them. They should have opened up the vault for Markstrom.

Their D as it is built I think is a big problem. They have a glutton of guys who have very good skills, but limited hockey intelligence. Which is passable, but not championship calibre.

 

[M2Beezy]

Oilers fans are quiet divided in their forum here about which goalie to start tomorrow

Again, you just love to see it

 

[Josepho]

Spurgeon not getting a suspension is ridiculous.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

They finally have a good young stud to build around, IMO (Bouchard). I think going forward their biggest issue is going to be that they way overpaid on Darnell Nurse. I think he can be a solid second pairing guy, but they're paying him like a franchise D. And after those two, it gets thin. Barrie is a good offensive defender, but not a guy who can handle big defensive assignments. They basically need to completely build their blueline after those first two guys.

That and goaltending. So you know...easy stuff to fix, right?

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Spurgeon not getting a suspension is ridiculous.

Agreed. That's one of the grossest deliberate intents to injure I've seen. Lucky the guy wasn't hurt.

 

[bandwagonesque]

Perron scored three literally identical goals -- shot from the right hashmarks, rebound off Fleury's right pad to Perron near the left hashmarks, snapshot and goal.

 

[wonton15]

Can’t believe Forsling is such a good player and we had him

 

[timw33]

2.667MM for 2 more seasons lol.

 

[deadinthewater]

Ugh, Pens deserved better in this game.

Oh wow, no goal.

 

[Peen]

That was 100% goaltender interference.

No question.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

Ugh, Pens deserved better in this game.

Well, they just got it lol. Penguins need to find a way to not lose games they should win in the playoffs.
