@dantencer: Jeff Petry is leaving practice after twisting his leg in an awkward stopping motion...

 

[GretzkytoKurri9917]

holy ****, we have the worst luck.

It's all part of the plan.

OMG!



What the hell!

Is this team made out of glass or what?

 

[joestevens29]

Keep in mind it's only practice, Schult is back things can change.

Although why Petry doesn't get some PP time is curious.

****.

Ryan Dittrick ‏@ryandittrick
Petry went back out, took a quick twirl and then headed to the room. Hopefully not serious. He had a smile on his face.

Bob Stauffer ‏@Bob_Stauffer
I am pretty sure Justin Schultz will be a go for tomorrow.

Hey, he's going to try Smyth on a powerplay unit? Cool. If he is going to do anything at all thats where he may help us the most.

Oh my, just a ton of pressure on them this game. All this practise time. If they play badly the fans are going to get restless. Lose confidence going into a brutal 9 game road trip. Yikes. This thing could really veer off course. This could be a very telling point in our team. How does Krueger manage the chaos? Which kids start bearing down and getting it done? Who falters and can't handle the pressure? Win or lose I think we will learn a ton about this team in the next month.

Even I'm nervous. lol I sometimes get little panic attacks wondering if these kids just aren't near as good as I hope. Style, talent, pedigree, wheels, shots, hustle. At some point none of that matters. It's just about winning hockey games. They have to find a way to get it done.

Rhett Warrener calls Smyth a joke

Wrong thread. Moved here.

well, I guess he'd know what a joke looks like, seeing how he looks into a mirror every day.

Not sure what Warreners problem is. What a turncoat.

lol at one of the players you played with for years throwing dirt on you in this way.

ftr Iggy was flying against Dallas and easily the best player on the ice.

Judging from the poll it looks like 80% of the flames fans posting are equally clueless. Iggy is a slow starter. But has hit for at least 30 goals in his last dozen seasons. He's averaged over 35 in the last couple seasons.

Whole lot of chicken little going on..

 

[OmarkianSpin]

anybody that puts stock into what Rhett Warrener says is the real joke. Plain and simple.

 

[Mcnofool6110]

So... Just for arguments sake... If we don't have Petry tomorrow, and no Schultz...
Smid-Potter
Fistric-Whitney
Potter-Schultz?

That's so delicious.

 

[Moonlapse Vertigo]

I'll assume that Petry is fine (he did have a smile on his face as he left the ice) and J. Schultz has a lot of mileage on him this year. This is more hockey than he's ever played over the course of a year so he's going to have some wear and tear. He's probably just taking a much deserved rest. After all, he's been carrying an entire defense core on his back for 13 games.

If they're gonna clone one of our existing defensemen, I'd rather it be Smid or Schultz.

 

[T-Funk]

I think its his shoulder.

Probably needs surgery.

Hahaha yup shut him down ASAP. Along with nuge, eberle, yakupov and whoever else is struggling.

 

[czar99]

I was just watching yesterday's interview with 94 on the oiler video center and in the last 15 seconds the a reporter asks him if he heard Rhett Warner's comment on Ryan's roll and how he perceives his roll to be on the team. Ryan responds by saying he didn't hear the comment.

Does any one know what Rhett Warner said? And does anyone have video?

Clone? No. He's gonna be double shifting.

Nothing to do with his role, he was just insulting players left right and center, I can only assume to get some attention. In one article, he said his ex-teammate Iginla had lost his compete level, Dany Heatley eats too many breakfast sandwiches, and that Ryan Smyth was turning into a joke.

FTR Iginla only came out flying after Rhett made those comments, because up to that point...Warrener was 100% correct on his assessment of Iggy.

The team might have bad luck but the sens have it worse

If Rhett Warner hadnt played for the flames I wouldn't know who he was. Thanks for the answer though.

sad turd day.

What up, pink dog?! @Nail10_1993 has made a new friend at the @HairMassacure #Oilers pic.twitter.com/bbD9AB7i

Ohh, Nail.

On a side note, Nail and Vande Velde could almost pass as brothers with their hair like that.

He was pretty accurate with his assessment of Smyth as well. Hopefully has a positive impact on Smyth's play tomorrow.

Dogs my neighbor, doesn't shut up....
