i love yakupov
His goal tonight was pretty slick. Because of his early season struggles, I think that I'm the most happy when he scores. I might have been as stressed as him about it.
i love yakupov
Should never have hired him to begin with. They have no choice but to keep him for this season now.
Is it bad that I'm turning apathetic towards the Oilers?
I think
Hemsky Arcobello Yakupov
Would be a decent line.
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.
Well slap me silly and call me Susan.
Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story there bro. Gagner was 57% tonight against a team full of tough centers. In the game before that he was 54% against the Stars including a huge defensive zone win with about 90 seconds left that enabled the Oilers to get the puck into the Stars zone and pull Dubnyk. We all know what happened, but if he loses that draw there are 75 posts saying "stupid Eakins, why does he put Gagner out for a big draw like that" or "stupid Gagner when will he learn to take a draw. We should buy this guy out he sucks so bad". When he wins that draw its crickets on the board. In the game before that he got slaughtered (25%) against the Hawks, but so did every other centerman. And in the game before that he went 64% against the Flyers.While Perron, Eberle, Hopkins, and Gagner were losing draws left and right all game long--
Yup. I thought for the last few years Tencer called it like it was. Him and Brown used to keep each other honest.I actually miss Dan Tencer. Rob Brown is such a shill.
Still, 2 regulation wins in 21 games. It's unbelievable.
Well pull my pants down and call me Sally
Canucks fan coming in 10000% honesty. No hidden jabs.
What's happening to the Oilers absolutely disgust me. Makes me ill. I won't lie, I was really on the 'kick the Oilers while they're down' train for the past few years, but this year has made me feel so bad for the fans and the kids.
You guys do not deserve this. The team is such a ****ing mess. The kids are literally get destroyed, alienated and demoralized every day. In the media. By other teams. By the fans. It's really looking bad.
I wish the team would get just one thing right. Ship out Smyth and Hemsky and this years pick. Bring in a Manny Malhotra. A Ray Whitney. Trade the 1st rounder for a Zetterberg or a StLouis. Make a ridiculous contract offer for Thornton or Selanne.
The kids are just that; kids. They should never be answering media questions. They should not be getting attacked my Rishaug and co. The vets should be taking that for them.
Do any of you think Pavelski, Coture or Hertl would be nearly as good without Marleau and Jumbo Joe?
Do you think Vlasic and Demers would be a top unit wothout playing under Boyle? Hamilton without Chara? The Sedins without Naslund, Bert, Jovo, Ohlund and Salo?
Chris Tanev is not a superstar. Not by any means. I personally think he will end up a good #3, bur he would never had developed without Hammuis, Salo, Edler and Bieksa.
The kids in Edmonton are being forced to be vets. It's insane.
They aren't developed. That still takes years. get some good vets to groom them. Teach them how to succeed. How to face adversity. how to lose. How to win.
Oilers should be targeting Malhota next year. I honestly hope they land him. Something! Anybody!
Saw some increased shots from the point tonight and a bit more crashing the net, especially from the RNH line. Hall looked pretty discouraged though.
Didn't like the Gagner line.
It's literally impossible for this roster to defeat the Sharks so I wasn't even upset by the loss.
Watching the team try to handle Thornton & Couture was pretty funny.
Beginning to wonder if our "talented kids" are actually all that great.
