Speculation: Oilers might have to sign an Emergency Back-Up Goalie

[hawks889]

You guys are getting worked up about nothing. Fasth will be here no reason to think he won't.

Is fasth on route , was he with anaheim or the ducks ahl team

 

[Trafalgar Sadge Law]

Szabados would be really cool. Put her in for the last 5 minutes, make history, have that be the silver lining on another lovely campaign for our team She's probably got plans though.

I think a lot of plans can be postponed if you get to play your first NHL game.

 

[Halibut]

Yeah that's it exactly.

I'm sure she'd be all happy thinking "woohoo, I'm playing in the NHL!" Then it'd quickly change to "Hey wait why is Shultz chasing that guy into the corner and leaving his man open out front, and where'd other Schultz go. **** he's also in the corner."

That's true, but if we lend her someone else's gear?

She's probably just being humble, as in Oilers management didn't ask her.

 

[Arpeggio]

I swear to god if I hear anyone holding this over management...

I mean I get most of the criticism, but who knows if she's even available to do it.

Exactly.

Just to put it into perspective. The women's team plays against midget AAA boys to warm up. Joke all you want about the Oilers, but Midget AAA isn't even close to the calibre of the NHL. If by chance she did make it in she'd be a laughing stock.

To be fair, Szabados did play on the NAIT team I believe. She's a lot closer to NHL level than the players on the Canadian women's team would be. And considering whoever they put on the bench would get lit up if they actually played, it probably doesn't make a difference.

That said, I don't think this is an issue that fans should be legitimately angry about. I mean, come on.

Moreso than a CIS goalie or a 46 year old plumber?

Exactly NAIT, not even the UofA.

 

[McDNicks17]

Szabados had better numbers at NAIT last season than Kurtis Mucha has for the UofA right now.

Just sayin'.

CIS goalie would be better. Not sure about the plumber though.

 

[CornKicker]

has anyone called the british kid from the royal bank commercials yet?

 

[jameswrjobe53]

Ryan Rishaug ‏@TSNRyanRishaug 36s
Likely scenario for Oilers tonite is the U of A for a backup goaltender.

UofA plays much tougher competition. It doesn't matter though, whoever is on the bench is not going to play, and if they do, they are going to get lit up.

I thought she's been away from college hockey for a few years? Thought back then NAIT didn't go up against UofA?

isnt dubynk on waivers, pick him up for one game if he can get here, the oilers are still paying half his salary lol

He's got the guts the team needs, even if he is a little bit slow and plump.
