Comedy gold out of Edmonton

The drugs in Edmonton must be amazing

Somebody needs to check MacT's prescription on his glasses or he needs new contacts or something. I don't know which team he's been watching, but his team has a long way to go before it can compete with the Blackhawks on a nightly basis.

Well, they do play at Rexall Place, after all.

Looks like Yak is a healthy scratch tomorrow and Horak will be playing with Eberle and Gagner.

Take notes Oilers, this is how a team of your rarified stature should fire its head coach.

/probably should be in the nfl thread, but why not

The Washington Redskins' firing of Mike Shanahan was a laughable disaster | FOX Sports on MSN

I gotta say, I approve of Mike Shanahan's choice of vehicle...

It's a new year but the same old Oilers.

Serious question: if each of their opponents spotted the Oil 2 goals, would the Oilers make the playoffs?

Flyers did that the other night and they came back and won, so I doubt it

Oilers next five opponents:

Ducks
Lightning
Blues
Pens

Talk about murderer's row.

Well the Isles just beat the Bruins & Blackhawks in back to back games so I guess anything is possible. Do the Oilers have a goalie yet?

as much as you rag on them, they are far better "team" than the Oilers...just nowhere near as talented the oilers are just a bunch of talented wild dogs running around chasing cars with no idea what to do or where to go or what to do once they catch it.

The Isles have one three straight & are playing well since Nabokov came off IR. Nabby missing a lot of time due to injury really hurt them. They really don't have anybody else in their system to play goal. Garth's draft record when it comes to goalies is pathetic. The defense misses Visnovsky, but Calvin De Haan who's finally healthy has been playing very well. I honestly expect the Isles to play solid hockey the rest of the season. The playoffs won't happen, but I wouldn't be surprised if they finish outside the bottom 10 & that would mean the Sabres would get their 1st round pick.

Hahaha Oilers are so rock-bottom, Tim Jackman scores

Bryz seems a little tired of it already.

A terrible Flames team is still 3 points ahead of the Oilers with three games in hand - It really is unbelievable that Lowe is still running the show.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

fans behind the net had FIRE LOWE signs last night ... had them taken away by ushers lol

Maybe they were giving instructions to Oilers forwards and are bad spellers

Someone heeded the advice:

Lot of discussion, people crying that this went through the net. Looks to me like it went under Bryz' arm and inside the post.

Yeah, that was indeed the final ruling by the war room.

that was for about 15 minutes until they finally showed that angle ... it didnt help that, before the broadcast showed that angle, and after the goal was scored, the refs delayed play on a stoppage to inspect the mesh
