GDT: "Is There Anybody Out There?" | Oilers vs. Ducks (Part 2) | 4.22.2013 | 7:30 PM

[flashy]

Fasth has been good. Wish we can find a gem like him.

We have the human beaver dubnyk already though

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Fasth has been good. Wish we can find a gem like him.

Yup, but the thing that really gets me is that they bring back Beauchiman, who for all accounts was crap in Toronto, and he plays like Scott Niedermyer in Anaheim.

 

[Asher]

Good call

Okay, I'm in too.

 

[Tirefire]

Going for the better odds in the draft lottery. A bold move.

 

[Mr Forever]

Man this game is so depressing

 

[Paralyzer008]

Sometimes I wish that Sportsnet suddenly became a quality network.

 

[Spawn]

This is as bad as the Oilers have ever been and that is saying something. Surely Krueger can't survive this. I've never seen a coach so clueless as to what is going on out there.

 

[Tirefire]

That would require actual scouting. We are only good at winning draft lotteries.

And Khabiboozin

I know that was puzzling? Maybe he can't handle the pressure of being in a hockey market.

My gosh I see Smyth on the ice every second shift...He has played on every line tonight..

 

[Tirefire]

It's painful.

 

[nexttothemoon]

Krueger knows that empty net was the best dman they had last night... so I bet he's going for that strategy again. Look for the Oilers to start their last 3 games with no goalie.

 

[Paralyzer008]

That would require actual scouting. We are only good at winning draft lotteries.

Fun fact: Oilers were a finalist in the Viktor Fasth sweepstakes but lost out to Anaheim.

Well when you have Kevin Wiener Quinn and Louie Spousal Attack Debrusk as your commenators what can you say....

 

[Mc5RingsAndABeer]

We need to poach Babcock if he somehow stupidly gets fired

 

[Kayen]

We should start a U of A HF oil club

I'm in. Mum's the word. I have the game playing in a classroom in Ed all by lonesome if anyone wants to come shake their heads with me for another few minutes LOL

 

[Groucho]

You know, I was open to Kreuger being hired as the head coach, I thought for sure that if anybody could teach the Oilers to be defensively responsible it would be him.

But this is just amazing. It looks like a WHL team out there.

 

[Moonlapse Vertigo]

The Oilers actually tried to sign Fasth, but he didn't consider us. If I can find something via Google about it I'll post it...

 

[CupofOil]

Fasth would have stunk here behind that D and with the general losing culture that has poisoned so many others.

 

[McClelland]

Wonder how a normal 82 game season had looked in the standings?

 

[Paralyzer008]

Well when you have Kevin Wiener Quinn and Louie Spousal Attack Debrusk as your commenators what can you say....

fire Steve Tambellini?

 

[Asher]

MacT has the ability to make sweeping changes if he wants to. Horcoff, Smyth, sweep out the coaching staff and hire Ruff. If he's serious about bringing in change, there's plenty of potential big changes out there.

 

[Tirefire]

They must have read about him in The Hockey News.

Heh, the Oil Kings would probably kick the hell out of the Oilers. They have a lot of 20 year olds on their club. Hell, Nuge just turned 20.

 

[Critically Acclaimed]

sounds like a solid plan, I'm in

Good call

Okay, I'm in too.

Ok, I'm leaving now to pick you guys up so you better be ready (I'm looking at you Asher).

Risk board is already setup and I'll pickup a flat then we'll head back here But we can't be too loud. GF has to work early tomorrow.

I had no idea. At least they had interest....

Most likely. The poison that Lowe created.
