[Mez]

Kane completely embarrasses the Oilers in a beauty OT goal.

I have come back form the future, it is dark.

He bounces at least one in off Manning.

Its shocking that we could still theoretically make it into the playoffs even after all this losing and general suckage.

We should have been dead in the water a month ago.

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

Hawks score on the first shot of the game and hang on to win in OT after Oilers wake up in the last 10 minutes to tie the game.

Hope the video highlight tribute to Caggiula isn't too long tonight...

We have all been sucking together

Oilers could be 1 point out of a playoff spot if they win tonight

the rest of the teams are begging the Oilers to take it but they Oilers are like, "no thanks"

Good old Oilers, always thinking of other teams.

A loss wouldn't hurt too bad though. I don't want Chicago anywhere near that #1 pick. If anyone could turn their fortunes around quickly it's them.

So politely Canadian of them. "Oh was that your playoff spot? We're sorry...we'll find somewhere else to sit. We insist."

The real burning question lingering about tonight's game is are the Bruins scouts taking in their 4th straight Oilers game?

Puljujarvi ties Gagner's 8 point night. That's my bold prediction.

Win and we’re 1 point out, lose and we’re in a 5 way tie for second last place in the conference. It’s such a tight race for the wild card spots.

Puljujarvi prediction made in jest. I'll add the sarcasm emoji.

The Oilers have mastered the art of holding the door open.

Especially in their own zone.

8. I noticed a small change on the OIlers bench this past weekend. Manny Viveiros was on the bench the entire game. In the previous 50 games he’d watch the first two periods from the press box and then be on the bench for the third period some games. The Oilers had yesterday off so I couldn’t ask Ken Hitchcock why the change was made, but I will today. Hitchcock gets on guys hard on the bench, and I wonder if Viveiros is there to be more a vocal upbeat guy. I’ve heard some rumblings some of the younger players were having a hard time dealing with Hitchcock’s intensity or “whining” as former Dallas Stars Captain Brendon Morrow described it in his retirement article. I wonder if Hitch broughtViveiross on the bench to be a positive voice to counter his aggressive style?

Interesting tidbit from Gregor's gameday

My comment was in jest too. Illegalizing weed would be silly!

 

[9GWG9]

To easy.

We lose with Drake getting a hatty one of them being the ot winner.

I suspect there's going to be a lot of this going on today:

Thread title legitimately made me sad.

If anybody is having issue with Hitch's comments after this few games they must have a thin skin. The aggravation in Dallas was felt due to several years of Hitch pushing players. Its that kind of thing where behaviors get annoying over the years, much like in a marriage, and some coaches aren't so much fired, as divorced..

Theres always a shelf life with a Keenan or Hitch prototype but it should never be this quickly.

Given how poorly the team is playing I'd say it's probably already expired. I miss Todd McLellan.

Forums are not fun when we are this bad.
