GDT: Oilers vs. Avalanche: The Quest for 10,000

[oilers'72]

Less than an hour before the game and there's nothing. A lot of people have probably checked out or are boycotting any more games. But, short of an Av's shutout, someone will be Mr. 10,000.

You can watch the game on Sportsnet 1, SN360 or (joined in progress) Sportsnet East, Ontario and Pacific.

Or listen on 630 CHED or the Oilers Radio Network (not sure which ones are carrying the game or carry any games):

97.7 CHLW St. Paul
101.9 CKKY Wainwright
95.3 CJKX Cold Lake
94.3 CFXE Edson
97.5 CFHX Hinton (see CFXE)
95.5 CFXP Jasper
93.3 CFXG Grande Cache
93.5 CKVH High Prairie
92.7 CHSL Slave Lake
94.1 CKBA Athabasca
97.9 CKWB Westlock

So many ppl here are so fed up with McLellan's line matching after last game I'm not surprised no Pre or GDT had been put up yet.

Thanks oilers72' you saved the day.

Go Go

Has the 10,000th goal officially been retracted or is that an unofficial HF Oil correction?

Your welcome, 48g90a138pts. It did give me a chance to use that ORN list of stations Jack Michaels always yells out. Haven't really listened to CHED, so I can't say if he lists the stations like Rod Phillips used to do.

If you mean the Strome goal, that included shootout "goals" (shown as one goal for, even if multiple players scored in any SO), not actual goals. The Oilers and the media won't acknowledge the actual goal count but, it won't go forgotten.

It's the unofficial official(shootout goal wins removed) 10,000.

Thanks guys.

I know there's a thread for this but how could they screw something like that up.
Technically, they'd have to go back and count each goal scored in every shootout the Oilers won, otherwise they wouldn't have won the game.

 

[ujju2]

Sad it won't be Nuge (not expecting or hoping for a shutout). McDavid would be perfect.

It's not really a screwup, it's more just treating a stat as an actuality. Say a team wins 4-3 in a SO. We'd say the score is 4-3 while, if it was a soccer game, the score would be 3-3 with the winning team winning on penalties.

 

[Hockey Nightmare]

Great season we're having here. Instead of worrying about playoffs we're worried about whether shootout goals should count as true goals.

 

[ohheyhemsky]

It's going to be a shutout.

It'd still be acknowledged if the season had gone differently. People notice things.

 

[Cloned]

It'll be Strome again lol.

Under their calculation...say goal 9999 was a goal that tied a game. No winner in OT, but the Oilers win in a shootout. The way they figured it out, then who would get credit with goal 10,000? The player that scored the winning shootout goal?

Too bad it didn't go down that way.

 

[ZJuice]

Not watching the game but I will be checking HFBoards and box scores in between rounds of my video games.
Maybe it’ll be another 5 McPoint night and I’ll tune in

So true.

Your username sums up this season perfectly. It has been a hockey nightmare.

Just think if a player is a goal or a point away from a milestone. They get credited with the SO winning goal but no one says they've reached their milestone. I think if the league said that it would count, a fair amount of people would think it's a cheap point and not truly a milestone setter.

 

[BlackDogg]

It's going to be a shutout.

I hope you meant shootout.

No. I know what you meant.

 

[McShogun99]

I bet that blind goalie that’s standing there for the National anthem doesn’t let the first shot of the game in as often as Talbot does.

And rightfully so, I agree with that notion. Which is weird they included those as "goals" scored with no goal scorer attached to it.

Anyways, I digress. Thanks for doing up the GDT...hoping for a decent home performance tonight.

 

[Del Preston]

The 10,000th goal with be a Mark Letestu PP goal in the shootout on an empty net.

 

[48g90a138pts]

Zona is up 1-0...lol

 

[oilers'72]

I'm just hoping that 10,000 isn't an own goal.
