GDT: Oilers @ Avs • "iTunes" • 30.03.15 • 7:00PM • SN1

Shouldn't Yakupov have had the 2nd assist on that Schultz goal?
Hopefully they change it (again, I think they had to add an assist for Yakupov a few games ago that they gave to Hendricks too).

Bachman's flow is just so sexy

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

I don't disagree at all. But this season was a write off as soon as MacT decided to bring back Eakins.

Hopefully a full season with an actual NHL system will turn things around.

Still need a decent goalie and better defensemen.

Avs broadcasters ripping on the pathetic Avs PP. They are also saying this game will be the end of the season for the Avs if they lose.

Nice to have the Oilers putting the lid on the coffin of a few teams down the stretch

The team we have is at least as good as Colorado

That's not saying much for either team.

 

[Pointteen]

Hendricks reminding me of how it must be really crummy to be a player on a team with fans who have had to get used to hoping for high draft picks.

 

[oilers83]

Oilers are so bad Sportsnet have given up on them

 

[McGlassbangers]

Guenin did his best Schultz impression on that goal

Absolutely. There are a few options for improving those via trade or fa.

I think a real defense coach would be a world of help as well. Watching Huddy work his magic on Myers is infuriating. Never should have let him go

 

[nexttothemoon]

LA is actually going to miss the playoffs after having one of the grittiest playofff runs ever to win it all last year.

How the mighty have fallen.

 

[Pointteen]

Wow this interview with Colton Nelson is painful.

 

[Jumptheshark]

come Dallas

 

[Real_Estate-Agent]

Why can't we fluke a year like the Leafs or Avs?

We did - we went to the Stanley Cup finals six years ago after just making the playoffs a few days before the regular season finished.

We have better wingers but the Avs have better centers. Varlamov is much better than Scrivens. No chance they even make the playoffs last year without him.

One of the few ex-oilers that did his job well. And Simpson to a lesser extent...

There's still a plethora of problems and unfortunately the problem solver is also the biggest problem.

Hall... "We're just having fun... enjoying being spoiler."

Nice that they are actually having fun as a team and that has to be a positive for chemistry/bonding on the team.

I know the pessimists will say these games are meaningless so it doesn't mean much... but the tide has to start turning somewhere and having the team at least seeming to all be on the same page and headed generally in the right direction under a non-toxic coaching environment is a positive.

 

[Slicknitty]

Taylor Hall makes a lot of money

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

We did - we went to the Stanley Cup finals six years ago after just making the playoffs a few days before the regular season finished.

First of all that was 9 years ago, and we've been close exactly twice since then. It's almost statistically impossible to be this bad for this long.

 

[SomeDudeOTI]

Way to go Schultz, i take back one of the bad things i've said about you this year.
Bachman is looking solid again, i haven't seen him have to handle any mad scrambles in front, but solid.
Davidson, nice goal, bad goal... young defenceman, i think he learned that play from Schultz

Let's see if we can hold on in the 3rd, still cheering for wins. I just hope TO doesn't pass us and with any luck Arizona wins enough to retake 28th. However it turns out, winning is better than losing, losing is what got us here.

Tough to follow up. Cup winners and losers have very long seasons. And the Voynov situation really hurt them.

LA will be back in the mix next season.

They are fighting with Calgary for it, they are extremely close right now. If either team loses two in a row it could end their season

I don't think the Kings are going to catch the Flames now. They'll be 3 up after today.

 

[StoveTopStauffer]

That backhand would of squeaked between Scrivens and the post if he was in net.
