At the risk of sounding like an Oilers fan, I like the Oilers

GREAT CROSBY'S BEARD, THERE'S A HOCKEY GAME ON!!!

Think we'll hear much about Ovechkin tonight?

Crosby.

Game starts now. GOILERS!

***Bonus*** Profound words from the Hall of Famer:

"The only reason to get rid of a coach is if he loses his players and they tune him out."

"At the risk of sounding like a MacTavish fan, I think he's a good coach..."

OILLLLLLLEERRRRRRZZZZZZ
 


It just occurred to me that I'm rather sick of Gene Principe.

But I hear this Ovechkin fellow is rather good...
 


I wish Sgt. Cindy Scott had done the French parts of the anthem. That would have been tzzight.

She's killing this Yankee ditty. Damn grrrl. That was nice.

Sportsnet should punish Principe every time he rhymes. Enough already.
 


Speaking of, has he dropped an "Oli vs. Roli" line yet? If not, it's coming. Bank it.
 


Staios just got punched around by Semin. How embarrassing.
 


Jesus Christ. Why are the Oilers suddenly as worse as I've seen them all season.

Too much pressure being a .500 team?

PLAY DICK TARNSTROM.
 


Ahem. Scorcoff.
 


Nice goal by Scorcoff. Not discussed in the merits of Sheldon Souray's shot: the rebounds.

Man, this game is nasty.
 


Horc! Love im!

But where's the team toughness? Brodziak gets boarded and nothing.
 


But where's the team toughness? Brodziak gets boarded and nothing.

Just take the penalty at that point. Brodziak wasn't hurt or anything.
 


What a brilliant play by Horc, straight to the net...ZIP! And he draws a penalty.

POWERPLAY NILSSON!OI!H~BHW
 


Another big rebound off of a Souray shot. Nice!
 


Everything just dies when the puck goes near Stortini...

I still don't get it.
 


That call against Souray was atrocious.
 


It's not a penalty when I guy gets himself tangled into your stick, is it?

Lame call.
 


Every time I see 34 and 18 on the ice together I feel warm inside.
 


Everytime something simply looks odd it gets called in this league.

CALL WHAT YOU SEE, BUMS.
 


Nice period after the first 4 minutes.
 


Gene Principe and Ed Stelmach coming up.

Oh gawd.
 


And the "no plan" commercial leading up to it. You can't buy that kind of luck.
 


Man, I may whisper "Nooo plaaann" all week now...
 


The Stelmach Whisperer.

No plan.
 


Well that tears it, I'm drinking now....

[Can of Staropramen goes "pskhht!"]
 


Can we just change that ad to be about Kevin Lowe?

No plan
 


Um...

glug, glug.
 


Put Garon in!!!! Two shit goals.
 


Unfuckingbelievable.

No plan
 


Arrgh. Tie game. Pitkanen's knee.
 


Did Principe just suggest that Greene start over Tarnstrom against Carolina tomorrow? Punch my brain in, please.
 


Horc, Hemmer and Penner....what a play!!!
 


Now that was a nice play. I was screaming that they were all standing still, and then wham!
 


3 Powerplay goals! Isn't that more than we got in the first 15 games?

NICE!

Penner's trash talk to Erskine was the cherry to Hemsky and Horcoff's whipped cream passes.
 


What????? Tied already?
 


Greene? Seriously, what's wrong with Tarnstrom? No way he's been worse than Smid.

Did the dude punch MacT's puppy in the face or something?
 


Gilbert Gilbert!!! Put him in net!!!
 


Pull the goalie already.
 


Okay Ray, not much Roli can do? How about stop the frickin' puck? Put Garon in!!!
 


Took the words out of my mouth, andy.
 


Looks as if Greene and Tarnstrom will be playing tomorrow the way things are going...
 


Et tu, Garon?

Fack.
 


What an awful goal. Please pull him.
 


Gee, good game tonight Roli. Guess who is not playing the third period? Take a seat!
 


No more Roli. Please!
 


"How much do you like to score goals, by the way you seem to enjoy them?"

Who is the one who can't speak English, again?
 


Wow, just saw that Albertans for Change commercial. I fully support a version about Kevin Lowe.
 


Ads are here. Make sure you watch the Stelmach Whisperer, Ty.
 


Oh, I just did. How there isn't already a YouTube'd Lowe version with "No Plan" whispering in the background...I don't know.
 


Man, I go make a sandwich and all hell has broken loose. Funny watching the camera pan to the bench to see MacT mouthing "fuuuuck".

*The running commentary between Mike and Andy is almost better than the game now.
 


Are you kidding...Roli is still in net? Anyone else want to defend MacT as a coach right now???
 


How there isn't already a YouTube'd Lowe version with "No Plan" whispering in the background...I don't know.

Some pictures and some news clippings is all one needs.

Is Roloson still in this game?
 


Yup, Roli is still in there. He must be saving Garon for tomorrow night. I think he could handle 20 mins tonight. Sheesh!
 


Well if Jim says MacT is the man, how dare we second guess a Hall of Famer? Blasphemous!!
 


Anyone else want to defend MacT as a coach right now???

They do play Carolina tomorrow (spits). But this game is still within reach. And why can't Garon play 4 periods in a row?

Then again, Jim Matheson says that "the only reason to get rid of a coach is if he loses his players and they tune him out," and he's a Hall of Fame journalist. If he says results don't matter, they just don't matter.




No plan.
 


YES!!!


SCORCOFFF!!!!
 


Scorcoff!!!!!!
 


You know....Horcoff just might be first line material.
 


Both coaches right now are thinking, "you score four goals in a night, your goalie should be able to get you a win."
 


Hey, remember that Ross McKeon article I linked to the other day? The one that said,

"Ah, where all the trouble started. Funny thing is: Mr. Lowe doesn't have a lot of pressing contractual problems since those who are up are pretty replaceable. The best argument is for RFA Jarret Stoll, the 25-year-old who isn't having a great season but figures to be part of the future. Otherwise, there's the thought of extending Shawn Horcoff, 29, but he's not tearing it up either."

Check out the link today. That part about Horcoff not tearing it up? Gone. Hi, Mr. McKeon!
 


Three point night for Horc.

Pronger out of the Ducks' game with a foot injury.

Listening on the radio - "A lot of blood on the ice, someone must be cut pretty badly!!!!!" Or did somebody just throw something on the ice there ... they're cleaning it up (said with disappointment)"
 


What in the hell was MacT doing there?

Also, I want to throw my support behind the bench minor thing - it's a fascinating new twist in a season of incompetence.
 


MacT's thinking...

"We've scored four goals tonight. Roli should be able to us a wi...fuuuck"
 


Overtime, it's been too long.
 


Wow. That OT period was awesome.
 


Jesus nothing like listening on radio.

Twelve seconds left and Hemsky gets in and then Ovechkin has a great chance? Is it possible??

Have to drink more.
 


The shootout - our happy place.
 


Come on for fuck's sakes - score!
 


Why do they keep shooting five-hole on him!?
 


Where's Marek Malik?
 


If Stortini wins this, I'm gonna laugh my ass off.
 


What happens if everyone shoots and nobody scores?
 


Matt Bradley? Seriously?
 


Well, I did my job.
 


I think that was Shawn Bradley.
 


Lotsa mistakes. But you know what man, NO QUIT.

I can live with that.
 


I don't even want to say there were lotsa mistakes. All of those goals were Roloson's fault.

Holy shit that's a good one.
 


Wasn't Shawn Bradley a huge center for the Bullets? 6-11 or something. Shawn Bradley, I'm sure of it. Red hair, a bunch of it, bad knees.

Bill Walton except he wasn't.

As for the Oilers, they're good. Not now, though.
 


Wasn't Shawn Bradley a huge center for the Bullets?

The Mavs, actually. Well, them and Space Jam.
 


He was actually drafted by the 76ers, and played with the Nets and Mavs as well. Seven foot six Mormon. I wonder if he's endorsed Mitt Romney?
 


Shawn Bradley.

Like a left handed pitcher being that big. He was shit but he was employed forever.

The Caps picked him up on waivers. Paid off last night. Roli never had a chance.
