hey, hockey's on

Schroeder: Hey Torts, I'll block some more shots after I get back from the hospital.

/Hope he's okay.

I noticed both Edler's and Weber's jersey tucked in on the Oilers shorthanded goal...

fair to say that was the worst powerplay in the history of powerplays?
Oil had two good sustained pressure shifts whilst shorthanded.


ugh. then Alberts gets schooled by Rollie Fingers.

 

[puckhead]

dear Lord Mark Lee is awful.

"Whoa, what a chance for Gagner. I think Eddie Lack takes that away!"
No, you fucking cheese-nugget, Eddie Lack is still standing behind his own net

 

[puckhead]

sure like to see that offense generated by Kassian(22) Horvat(18) and Shinkaruk(18)
less good was the retarded high sticking penalty by Kassian at the end of the play.

Kassian showing mid-season form with that gaping net...

I just remembered that Oilers' management said that Petry was as good as Subban last year.

 

[puckhead]

Jesus Christ, Mark Lee. no, Perron did not take a stick in the face, he had Edler's stick jammed under his arm, so how the fuck could he get that stick in the face?
Just because Perron yelps like a bitch, doesn't not mean a crime was committed.


I don't mind the effort from the baby-Nucks here tonight.
$50 million in salary left at home for the game, and they are for the most part hanging in here with the Oiler's full team again. a few too many fire drill shifts, but they are getting some chances of their own
Edm's had 8 powerplays (including a full 2min 5 on 3) to Van's 3. Oh there's another.... Weise gets sucker punched in the face in a scrum and gets a penalty for bleeding. nice.

Hansen hits the post from inside the crease in the 1st, Kassian does the same in the 3rd. they are getting some chances.

Santorelli's been good, Weber has shown some jam

Yakupov is going ot have to get to the middle of the ice if he wants to fulfill his substantial potential.

I haven't seen him THAT much but he seems reluctant to get between the dots.

 

[KennyBanyeah]

Unlike Hansen. I really like that kid.

 

[dash]

Give Yakupov some credit, at least he didn't slide down the ice on his knees after scoring that goal...

/Still think he's an arrogant asshat.

Yup. Nothing like a pistol-holstering celly and tough guy stare in game 3 of the pre-season.

The kid just loves to hotdog. Quite a release on the guy though.

On this subject, I agree with higgy...Perron is a wannabe tough guy, but he's really just a pansy ass. The fact that he's now an Oiler will ratchet up the hate factor.

I totally forgot that the Oil picked him up.

He's a good player but he won't bring the toughness that they're looking for.

dear Lord Mark Lee is awful.

i switched over from galaxy/sounders when they were at the half and heard Mark Lee confuse eberle and edler on one play ... glad i got to hear that classic

is mark lee a flyers fan and does he frequent these SportsHoopla boards?

 

[puckhead]

broken jaw for Gagner.
dumbass play by Kassian.

Any word on supplementary discipline? You hafta think the Oilers will be sending in video.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Anyone have a handy link of the hit?

 

[puckhead]

Best I can do is descriptive video.

Nice rush from the kids creates a good scoring chance.
After the play, Kassian goes to kind of hit Gagner, but misses by two feet, and as he hits the board backwards, his stick swings wildly around and hammers Gagner in the chops.

Terrible quality, but here it is:

@TEAM1040: Zack Kassian & Dale Weise confirmed they have telephone hearings scheduled with the NHL Monday morning in the wake of incidents vs Oilers.
