snakeman Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I hope they lose tonight. They aren't capable of being consistently good, so they might as well consistently suck and get MacT fired, or a get top 5 draft pick (It will probably be the latter since they've been mediocre for 8 years and MacTavish still has his job) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrinhurst Posted December 18, 2008 Author Share Posted December 18, 2008 I'm almost at that same point myself snake. I want to see them win, but winning will keep MacT behind the bench, which isn't what I want. They had one good run to the cup final where they, in my opinion, over acheived, but have under acheived to a larger extent this season. Carolina fired thier coach with a similar record and reason, the Raptors fired thier coach when they had high expectations and weren't living up to them (not that they have done better with the replacement) so what the hell is wrong with the Oilers management? I hate the old boys mentality on this hockey team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darrinhurst Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 FINALLY! A game worth commenting on! What a great game vs. the Caps tonight! Second best home record in the league and only their third regulation loss at home. Great game for the Oilers, finally a complete game from the first minute to the last. Great on the Penalty Kill for a change too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorpiondeathlock Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Yeah They really took it to washington rollie played well again. Some lucky goals but Ill take em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrinhurst Posted January 16, 2009 Author Share Posted January 16, 2009 Great, in typical Oiler fasion....they play a wicked game against the Caps, one of the best in the East, then lay up a stinker against a divisional rival where they REALLY needed the points. :$*%&: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayr Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Nice little run of games for the Oil heading into the break. It's been kinda quiet from the "I'm a fan, but I like to complain and fire MacTavish" crowd lately. It's a welcome respite . Hemsky for Mayor.

Guest RedWiggler Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 HEMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrinhurst Posted January 21, 2009 Author Share Posted January 21, 2009 Wow. What a night for Hemsky. Two goals, two assists. Six points in two games since missing 10 to a concussion. That backhand deke was a thing of beauty and that game winner was a rocket of a shot. Mason didn't stand a chance considering he was screened. Two HUGE points for the Oil last night. On a nice little run here. Won 10 of 15, 7-3-0 in thier last 10 and 5-1-0 in thier last six. I'm almost ready to say this team is living up to early expectations now that Cole is playing extremely well with Gagner which has revived both players, each getting 9 points in the ten games that Hemsky was out. Great to see a solid second line again. GO OIL GO! Still want to see MacT fired though........lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ideal situation right now would be for Hemsky to fire MacT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest RedWiggler Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 We were pacing ourselves . We played pretty bad last night so for us to play bad and handle business is a good. Its a good thing Hemmer came back or the Jackets would have won that game 3-0.....lol!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smitty Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Great game by the Esks tonight OOOOPS sorry that was the Oilers losing 10-2 HAHAHAHAHAHAHA Before any other Flames fan thinks of getting mouthy, 2 facts: 1) Stanley Cups: Oilers 5, Flames 1 2) And some history: November 26th, 1996: Oilers 10, Flames 1 at the Saddledome Just FYI. Blow outs happen; doesn't mean we suck, it means we really sucked for one night. Smitty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbowtrout Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Smitty you need some new stuff. Everytime the Oil lose or get knocked out of the playoffs you all go back to the glory years. Same old same old boring crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryH Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 ..............you all go back to the glory years. Same old same old boring crap. Did the Oilers play last night????

Same old same old boring crap. I know that must really annoy Flames fans, cause, you know, we actually had glory years. Smitty Anyways, world didn't end last night for the Oilers, unfortunately for you Flamers. Oh, and as far as the recent history goes, we've been to the Finals more recently than the Flames. And, with the exception of the Flames going themselves to game 7 (losing, as we did too), how many times have the Flames made it past the 1st round in, say, the last 15 years? Damn facts!!!!!

It's time to move on........ we'll bring it up everytime the oilers fans bring up that they've won 5 cups, most prior to a lot of our births.....it really doesn't matter what happened in the past..you guys are still 9 points behind us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
