GDT: "Our football teams are better" - Edmonton Oilers v.s. Carolina Hurricanes 7PM, EST.

[BoldNewLettuce]

Can't wait to see what mcdavid can do in this godless clown league over a full season.

That ****ing oafish goober ref broke my heart!

 

[MessierII]

This is the most embarrassing game of the year.

 

[TheRebuild]

I've noticed that whenever the Oilers play bad teams, they usually play worse. Also... when they play good teams, they also play bad. And mediocre teams as well. You get where I'm going with this.

I just caught the tail end of that replay, and just started watching...What happened to Yak?

 

[harpoon]

Just be patient. We are making progress.

Progress is not always linear.

Ask the main boards.

Hauled down by a ref and injured

Progress is not always linear.

But it is visual.

Seriously. This isn't a joke.

 

[TheRebuild]

But it is visual.

Visually progressive.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Visually progressive.

Team motto this year.

 

[Mowzie]

Most night we just don't have the horses.

 

[Ninety7]

What an "OILERS" way to get injured..

 

[Quality Oil]

Team motto this year.

 

[molsonmuscle360]

Ask the main boards.

Shouldn't of done that.....Should not have done that. Now I has a sad.

 

[harpoon]

But it is visual.

Sure, you can identify instances and examples of progress with your eyes.
The problem is that your peabrain then extrapolates those visual signals wildly, creating unrealistic expectations based on what was really just isolated, incremental progress.
Then you start posting, "hey, I think we can get twelve to fifteen points on this upcoming roadtrip".
Then you feel disproportionately letdown when the team fails to meet your unrealistic expectations, created by those tiny visual clues.

Using "you" in the general sense of course ...

 

[nexttothemoon]

I called the Oilers to win this.

I was wrong.

 

[Del Preston]

Put that SOB in the bench, Hallsy.

 

[sepHF]

that ref has the most punchable face I have ever seen.

Why is some kid in his 20's an NHL ref anyways?

I was at least hoping we would get out of the bottom five. Peabrain is right.

 

[s7ark]

Just a reminder to not talk about what has and hasn't been deleted on the main boards. thanks

 

[Rafters]

Win a ****ing puck battle....

 

[Del Preston]

Excellent PP, Woodcroft!

 

[McDrai]

Maybe they should trade RNH,Eberle, Hall, and Yakupov to shore up the defense and roll with McDavid, Draisaitl, and most likely Matthews/Chychrun. St Louis and Nashville are 2 of the top teams in the league and they are stacked on the blueline.

 

[Del Preston]

Nugent-Hopkins is drunk. Has to be.
