I close my eyes and wait to hear the sound of someone screaming here
Have thoughts on the tribute? Feel like calling Pierre McGuire a name? Care to nominate the most abominably self-serving organizational comment of the day? Catch a glimpse of Northlands goons tearing up a "I NAMED MY TWIN SONS RYAN AND SMYTH" poster in the concourse? Or, I suppose, notice something in the game you want to mention?
That's what we're here for.

I can understand this...it's killing the children that just seems so unnecessary.
Glenn Healy just said that "no one could have predicted that the cap would have gone up to $50 million."
Et tu, Healy?
GUH.
That tribute video was awful. And they cut off the crowd applause by going to the anthems. I guess he could have asked for that, but I thought that tribute video was heartless.
I wasn't impressed by the tribute. The crowd sounded quiet, too. Felt bad when he was tearing up. Sniff.
Glenn Healy just said that "no one could have predicted that the cap would have gone up to $50 million."
Did he really say that? I want to tear my hair out.
Didn't you hear? Ryan Smyth was just a great guy. Yep, real nice to have worked with him. Prince of a guy, hope he's doing well these days.
Love McGuire's evaluation of Grebeshkov so far. And what is with Arnason? He's just killed us since he became a Av.
By the way, my nomination for self-serving organizational comments:
1) "Smyth's back but it's just another game."
Did they just boo Smytty? Unbelievable.
Pierre: "Matt Greene's playing left D tonight, that's new, he might get exposed"
Gord: "Greene was -11 against the Avs last year"
My favorite sequence of the 1st period.
Those weren't boos, at least from my end.
No, they booed him. Even Miller noted it.
I liked Pierre trashing Greene and Grebeshkov, but it really hurt when he said the Oilers were really missing Souray and Pitkanen. That was a low blow.
I don't understand how the media can go on and on about how bad the pp is, and then talk about the need to take more shots from the point. Actually, I do understand. Forget it.
Sweet pinch and sweet little pass from behind the goal line...damn these kids are the only thing that makes this season watchable.
Yeah, Torres was a real bulldog on that one shift with about 7 minutes left.
But inevitably ends in defeat...*sigh.
Hemsky looks like he's lost a lot of confidence, McGuire helpfully points out he's never scored 20, and at this pace and with the development of Cogs and Sam-Wise, Hemsky could finish 5 or 6th in team scoring this year.
i sure do miss Smytty the Oiler.
again, although the effort was there, this team sure could use some extra sandpaper and hustle. come back soon, Pisani and Moreau.
worth noting - three straight enthusiastic/effective performances by Raffi. kids were good again, Gilbert shows his offensive instincts again, Penner even had a few good shifts. this team desperately needs what Choppers and Pisani bring to the table, though.
Pierre McGuire is insane. no shades of grey in his world, you are either STUPID or A MONSTER! he kinda reminds me of one of those inflatable clown punchy things. or a talking bowling pin.
