Also Kris Russell is atrocious

That was a beauty goal by Drouin, he went coast-to-coast like buttered toast.

Greg Millen: Tough 2 days for the Oilers, they're going to need some strong character to shake these ones off

Maybe it's time for another press conference, Oilers lead the league in that department.

On pace for 18 goals against.
And 6 goals on 20 shots against Gibson!? Maybe pull him a bit earlier.

Was watching the Jets broadcast last night. They picked this up:

Carlyle was not going to rescue Gibby. Team had to yell at him to do it.

it's still so amusing to me that the Oilers are in cap trouble with that tire fire.
($50k cap projected cap space, while short 1 player on the roster)

Center Ice decided to cut the broadcast after regulation of Habs/Oilers for some reason.

Not for me. I had it all the way up to gee whiz Ronnie with those two kids reading the 3 stars.

We can help with that. I would be happy to trade them an upcoming UFA for 6.720m in salary (Nuge and Jones).

Weird.

2 straight overtime losses for the Oilers in games where they had the lead. Team needs a stud defenseman who can protect leads IMO.

Maybe they can trade Taylor Hall to NJ for one.



Oops nevermind they already tried that

 

[esls79]

Hey, why all the doom and gloom? They passed a team in the standings today.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

ESPN has done a great thing:

2018-19 NHL Wild Card Standings | ESPN

They deleted the Boston Bruins from existence! Rejoice!

Dallas did something fine.

 

[tducey]

Thanks for sharing that, better than last night's halftime show.

Make it 7.

Make it eight. Is eight enough?

I am appalled at how many people are sharing that saying "Hockey halftime is better than football halftime".


WE DON'T HAVE HALFTIME

I'm not sure what the final point total will be to make the playoffs in the East, but let's say it's 94 points for sake of argument. Flyers would need to win 20 of their remaining 29 games to get to that total.

/Of course, if it drops down to 90, then it's only 18 wins required.
