darrinhurst Posted March 9, 2009 Author Share Posted March 9, 2009 Clearly because MacT is the best coach in the NHL......why do you ask? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerryH Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 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.

adc Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 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.

darrinhurst Posted March 11, 2009 Author Share Posted March 11, 2009 The game never should have gone to OT in the first place. Koivu's goal was clearly off his glove. That pissed me off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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

darrinhurst Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrinhurst Posted March 21, 2009 Author Share Posted March 21, 2009 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...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMAX Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 3 in a row, looks like they're putting together a run. I'd love to see them play the shames in the 1st round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weedy1 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Well that was a nice try for the Oilers this year. Maybe next year. Or the year after. Or maybe the year after the year after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birchy Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 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' 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
