Sharks win 3-1

[CanadianSuperPromise]

The players probably want to win much more than the fans. They are most likely fans of the game as well. Hard for them to get confidence with the fans giving up on them. But when they start winning, all those fans will be back in the seats cheering again..I hope some of them can remember what that felt like.

I honestly couldn't give a **** about player feelings anymore. We're 4-15-2, absolutely inexcusable from my POV. Last place again. Let that soak in.

Dare I mention the game tomorrow night is on CBC, where nationally we just have a knack of losing and at times losing badly.

we are ****ed and there is no two ways about it

4-15-2



This season is pretty much done.The best thing to hope for now is Aaron Ekblad.





Ekblad-Nurse



Two defensemen that could be 6'4-6'5 and 220-245 pounds in their prime.

Shoot me in the ****ing head if the Oilers make that pick.

If they dont trade it for some immediate help there is no hope. It takes d-men years to become impact players. By the time Nurse/Ekblad would be ready for prime time big minutes Hall will be in his 7th or 8th year in the NHL.

I don't think the fans were booing tonight's loss specifically. They were booing a season full of losses and the group of people who assembled this crappy team.

The end result is still the players -who may have just started to clue in a bit-, get boo'd.

No one in the arena, from the broadcast crews through to Oilers management, are going to think it's directed at anyone other than the players, and Lowe and friends certainly won't think it's directed at them.

forgetting the oilers for a sec, that's insane the # of points the west is on for a playoff pace.
isn't the number normally needed around 94 or 95?
crazy right now. just an insane pace.

Ya the West is just ridiculously strong this year. Part of that is with more games against the weaker East teams in the new schedule... the top Western teams are able to feast and snag extra pts.

LA is 13-6-1 and clinging to 8th.

Oilers never had a shot this year basically from game 1 of the season. Outclassed completely in the West.

 

[yukoner88]

to be fair, we're only one 12 game point streak from being still way out of the playoffs - such downers in here

while 6 other teams would have to fall apart and loose every game so we can gain ground on them

 

[rboomercat90]

Is it typical for your crowd to boo opposing players who are bleeding after your own player whacks him, quite obviously, in the face...?

it just looked like they were booing that. What really happened was they started booing at the start of the game and didn't stop until they left the building.

Hey everyone! Stauffer says the team will be good after the Olympic break. Don't fret.

LA is in 8th in the West and are on pace to get 111 pts.

Oilers are on pace to get 39 pts.

They are on pace to miss the playoffs by 72 pts.

Keep preaching the progress shtick MacT.

The Oil are on pace to get the same amount of points Colorado had last year. In 48 games.

 

[Crobby]

Outshot 37-31 and they hit 4 or 5 posts that i remember.

We gave a decent effort but that isnt enough to win games in the NHL vs good teams. Wonder how we will do vs Calgary tomorrow..

yak was dangerous tonight, hope he keeps it up.

yak was dangerous tonight, hope he keeps it up.

The goal he scored was sick. shot it out of the air.

Joensuu

What I don't get this game and last, is that we were all pretty impressed with Joensuu in the pre-season and the first few games before he got injured. He brought a different dimension to the lineup, a big guy who can actually play. Yet, he played 2:05 tonight. What's with that? Wouldn't you think he'd look good on the lw on one of the top lines or even planting him in front of the net on the PP?

I think his back is still hurting him.

 

[McGlassbangers]

Sharks played yesterday and our super coach played with three lines even though we would've needed our 4th lines energy and hits.

 

[Lewy]

Ted Nolan said today that the Sabres are in the entertainment business. At least one of the two worst teams in the league realize this.

 

[Still DRAI]

Yeah, unfortunately, it seems like Joensuu is one of those players whose constant injuries have a decent chance at derailing his career entirely.

 

[Took a pill in Sbisa]

At least we can be rest assured that the results will come.

Tier 2 fan here. I agree with you, and feel that now it's either sit back and suck it up. Or, hit management & owner where it hurts. $$$$$$

 

[Del Preston]

I love Nail Yakupov.

Also, thank you cyril for one of the funniest posts I've ever read.

City hall has announced that a parade will occur Monday morning at 11:00 am for "the goal".

Pictures with the puck will be available

So we should stop watching and/or listening to his show until then?

Thanks Bob!

Now I have time to work on all the home improvement projects my wife wants me to do.

 

[Psychoil]

i think we pound the flames tommorrow.


if we played like we did in the 2nd, we are gonna **** pump the flames. **** the flames, i ****ing hate those pieces of ****

Great, fire another damn coach. That'll solve exactly nothing.

Should never have hired him to begin with. They have no choice but to keep him for this season now.
