Yes that was a bad call but Ottawa has had some bad puck luck the last month they have hit something like 16 posts.

The Oil better man up tonight.

Can't wait for Tanguay to get healthy again.

roccerfeller · #**2264** Posted: **Jan 21, 2012, 11:52 PM**

big Jets game tonight.

We're 3 pts away from these two top guys in our division: Florida and Washington, both at 52 pts each

We beat FLA, we get to 51 pts and we're only 1 pt away from a PO spot...

woooo

Hall's back in tonight. If any Flamer so much as even looks at his scar, someone better drop em.

Looking forward to the leafs/habs game tonight. Lets just hope the leafs' horrendous defence can hold on long enough to win the game.

yaletown_fella · #**2267** Posted: **Jan 22, 2012, 2:54 AM**

Well, missing the playoffs would be the recipe to fixing this defence.Once again Schenn and Gunnarsson were terrible. Also Komisarek dosen't belong on this team.

The habs won due to defence and the fact that Price decided to show up.

Getting seeded against the Bruins would be worst case scenario.

I don't want to hear any excuses. Should have stayed in the Habs end 70% of the time, got more shots on net (Canucks style) and they would've been up 5-1 in the first.

^Except the leafs are far from being the Canucks. lol

I mean, it might be a little early yet, but I think it's safe to say this didn't happen.

I find it hard to imagine that Ron Wilson can't see the issue with the defence, but they never can figure it out. Something has to change, and in my opinion it involves trading schenn, gardiner, and komisarek for some D men that actually hustle in their own zone and know how to start a breakout.

The Chemist · #**2271** Posted: **Jan 22, 2012, 6:02 AM**

Great game by the second line tonight.

freeweed · #**2272** Posted: **Jan 22, 2012, 6:11 AM**

Just what the doctor ordered. Is it possible for the Flames to play the Oil for the next 10 games or so? Playoff spot for sure!

How 'bout San Jose, Detroit, and Chicago instead. That should be alright, no?

Calgarian · #**2274** Posted: **Jan 22, 2012, 11:48 AM**

I love it when the Flames play the Oilers, pretty much a guaranteed win these days.

No, trust me Gardiner has a lot of potential. Schenn and Komisarek are lousy though.

Well, yes as far as defence and goaltending goes. The last Leafs-Canucks game was proof.

feepa · #**2277** Posted: **Jan 22, 2012, 4:07 PM**

The Oilers have had a total of 7 M dollars of defencemen for most of the season. Anyone still wondering why this team suck?

Fire Renney.
Hire Mact.... or someone else?

No - shore up the defence! Some teams have more money locked into one defencemen than all of the Oilers combined.

Around the League in 33 Bands
Vancouver Canucks are Metallica
They're sore losers who cry about being victims of their own shortcomings and failure to adapt to a changing landscape when it really mattered. It’s almost impossible to have a conversation with one of their fans since they’re so consumed with their heroes they are unable to see reality clearly. Also have a female fan base than enjoys taking off their shirts much to the chagrin of men everywhere. (Did you see that swamp donkey in the Stanley Cup finals? I'd riot too if that was the best my city had to offer.)

I found this one funny, but the rest are great too...read the rest of the teams here

Is it possible that the Oilers will actually have a worse record at the end of this year than last?

mintzilla · #**2280** Posted: **Jan 22, 2012, 5:32 PM**

^fail for Nail baby,fail for nail...

Klowe as gm+ macT as coach = never in draft lottery
Tambi as gm+ Renney/Quinn as coach = number1 pick three years in a row

interesting.
