Official Oilers 2008/2048 Season Thread


Recommended Posts

Interesting -- Montreal is in 5th place with 77 points and the coach gets canned because the team doesn't seem to be motivated when it comes to important games. The Oilers who are in 7th place with 70 points suffer exactly the same disease. However, it would appear the coach has a life-time appointment.

 

Breaking news: Brent Sutter wants to be closer to his Alberta ranch. Is Edmonton close enough?

A really good 40 minute effort........I wonder if McT has told the boyz that hockey is a 60 minute game.......How many points have we wasted this year with that lacklustre, "let's try and protect our one goal lead" style of play??.....You just KNOW how it's gonna end........Bloody brutal!! :(

You forgot the other two key parts of the strategy.

 

1. Don't do anything to improve the PP after 7 games of PP scoring failure. Thus when you get a PP chance in the last 3 minutes of a tie game, you can pee away the opportunity.

 

2. Take a penalty in overtime to cinch the loss.

To sum up the performance tonight...pathetic. This team does not deserve to make the playoffs.

 

Pathetic is being kind........Absolutley predictable........And you're right, they don't deserve to make the playoffs and likely won't..........YUCKO!!

As much as I want them to make the playoffs, I kind of don't. Because I have a faint glimmer of hope that if they miss the playoffs again, MacT will be fired. However, I am not so sure that would be a good thing or not since they will likely replace him with someone else from the old Boys Club, like Buchberger. Then, I am afraid I would have to kill myself.

 

Or start cheering for the fLAMES. But I think I'd rather kill myself.

Wow, nice time for the boys to string together a few wins!

 

First, a shoot out victory over the Blues, that really seemed to spark something in Kotalik, considering the next game, the 8-1 drubbing of the Avs, where he gained four points setting up Gagner's first Hat Trick, and getting his first as an Oiler. Then tonight, a hard fought effort against the Blackhawks where he wins it in the shootout for the boys again.

 

Nicely done!

 

Too bad the damn fLAMES couldn't hold onto the lead to keep the Blues out of their hair......

Well.. there's one positive to this whole thing, only 5 more games with MacT as head coach.

 

 

Mark my words here and now.. If the Oilers do not fire Craig MacTavish at the end of this season (I'm assuming they're not making the playoffs yet again), I WILL OFFICIALLY BE A FLAMES FAN NEXT SEASON.

Don't do it Birchy, flames fans are dulusional...they even believe they won the cup in 04' :o when we all know they didn't! I worked with a guy who believed that, I assume he also thought the earth was flat too... must be all that red, makes a chemical imbalance in the brain or something
