Smitty Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 Yeeeaah son!! Down 4-1 and come back to win it 6-4! Penner and Hemsky with 5 points a piece! Who the hell are these guys and what have they done with my mediocre Oilers?! NO KIDDING! Still concerned about the lack of team defence. Seem to be allowing a lot of goals. Course, if we can average 4 to 5 goals in scoring, the higher GA will matter less. But I am not completely sold on Bulin. But I am definitely warming up. Smitty Quote
snakeman Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 That was the best Oilers game of the last 3 years. The team looks completely different, i'm loving it Quote
darrinhurst Posted October 23, 2009 Author Posted October 23, 2009 That game was SICK. Awesome to watch (aside from the 20 minutes going from halfway through the first to halfway through the second), especially that Hemsky, Penner, Gagner line! Those guys were the only ones who showed up tonight. Even early on they were creating chances when the Blue Jackets were controlling the game. Nash was invisible against the top line tonight, and that is a great thing to see! Looking forward to the BOA on Saturday boy! Quote

canadagrey Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 Terry: and we still have Cogliano and Smid too. Quote
Hopper Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 I am not necessarily an Oiler fan, but I too am glad to see Cogliano and Smid in Edmonton Colors rather than Heatley. I do have a lot of respect for the team and the loyalty of the fans Quote
bhurt Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 Excuse me but can someone please tell me who won tonights game please. Quote
birchy Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 Excuse me but can someone please tell me who won tonights game please. You didn't get to see it? 5-2 Flames. Ouch. Quote
canadagrey Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 I told Kevin Lowe for the Oilers to take Edmonton Water, Do not drink the water in Calgary. Comrie, Stone and Brule out. When you are already missing Staois and Souray. It's a long season. Quote
bhurt Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 And what about the previouse two I belive the series score right now is 3-0 for flames..... Quote
bhurt Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 Let me guess the team lost last night because of sick players again, lets "HOPE" so of these players gets hurt so we flames can win all our games cause it is obviouse that without them the team sucks ass. Quote
birchy Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 Thank God that shutout streak is over with..! Quote
Suntoucher Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 Let me guess the team lost last night because of sick players again You might be right for a change there bhurt. A more believable excuse than some of the more pethetic ones I've been hearing this fall. But it's probably not the only factor of course. Quote
Smitty Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 I hope flame fans were watching the Oiler's game last night; now that's how you blow a lead and squeak out 2 points! Smitty Quote
darrinhurst Posted October 30, 2009 Author Posted October 30, 2009 I hope flame fans were watching the Oiler's game last night; now that's how you blow a lead and squeak out 2 points! Smitty LOL If it's all the same to you, I'd still rather not blow a four goal lead at ALL. 2 points or not. Quote
Smitty Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 Well, somewhere between losing 11 of the last 14 , or winning 2 of the last 3 (can really spin this...), between getting smoked by Chicago and beating up on the half-assed Coyotes, and leading the league in man games lost to injury and illness, there is a real team. So I'm not convinced we're really a 12th place team, but unless there is some momentum built with a healthy team, I can't see the Oilers doing better than 7th to 9th, especially given the western conference... Not to mention that the team at some point will have to embrace a defensive scheme that will help curtail shots allowed and one of the worst goals allowed. Deslauriers looked pretty good though! Smitty Quote
darrinhurst Posted November 25, 2009 Author Posted November 25, 2009 I only saw the highlights as it was a PPV and I couldn't find it streaming online, but I liked what I saw of Deslauriers. I knew that he was a solid back up, now is the time to really show what he can do. That being said, I hope that Khabby gets better sooner rather than later. As far as the rest goes. I'm with you on that 100% Smitty. Tonight they face a better goaltender in Quick than they did vs. Phoenix, so it will be a better test tonight for everyone, not just Deslauriers. Quote

Smitty Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 Hemsky = out for the season. Smitty = hopin' for a high draft pick. :$*%&: Quote
adc Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 Very bad luck..........Thought they played pretty well last night against a top club.....More jump than they've had for a while........Result still sucked but....... Quote
Smitty Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 Well, a beat-up Oiler team beat a beat-up Red Wings team. Good for the good guys! You know, I think with players like Stone and Jacques, we should be the type of team that plays as gritty as possible. I its think the only way we can salvage a season with lots of challenges. Smitty Quote
TerryH Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 We're on a 1 game winning streak! Yes, and the Flamers are on a 1 game losing streak. The universe is unfolding as it should Terry Quote
scorpiondeathlock Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 Yes, and the Flamers are on a 1 game losing streak. The universe is unfolding as it should Terry Yeha and we are not in bottom of the west anymore yeahhh! Quote
