...and they score. F*** off.

Ya. Two guys run into each other and the Av's player gets 2. Makes sense.

Their games are basically scripted. Getting dominated by the opposing team? Oilers PP. Down a goal and need a big momentum swing? Oilers PP. Down a goal with 2 minutes left in the game? Oilers PP.

They also leave a lot of the rumours to their podcast but this is the stage to do it. The going off on tangents to other topics is where they lose their viewers.

You assume you are representative of their full audience
The junior hockey stuff was covering major names that could be moved in junior hockey like Shane Wright. Worth covering

The Bruins have an early 2-1 lead, just seven minutes into the game!

I do, and it's a safe assumption the average hockey fan doesn't care about junior hockey - even superstar Shane Wright.

They spent 30 seconds on junior hockey.
30 seconds

[Rejean31]

Friedman, MacLean and Hrudey. I feel sorry for Bieksa. Stuck in a room with 3 Oiler fans and apologists.

My point is not just junior hockey. It's the segment itself over time has moved off rumors to talk about other things that the average hockey fan doesn't pay attention to, and though they may want to push other conversations, it still is uninteresting. It's akin to the Hometown Hockey nonsense they were pushing. They're losing track of what the average hockey fan wants to hear about. They don't want to hear about some random assistant GM scouting in Europe (I'm exaggerating to be clear).

[Jiri Hrdina]

They covered
- top free agents that could be moved
- specific rumours about a couple of them
- potential all star skills competitions
- cheapest point per dollar players in the league
- major junior stars that could be dealt

Seems like a lot of good content to me.

I guess the league has sent out a mandate that the Oilers will not be called for interference. They’ve missed at least 3 clear calls against the Oilers tonight.

[Rejean31]

How many ####ing posts have the Avalanche hit tonight?

[activeStick]

For some damn reason, Zack Kassian just popped into my head so I looked him up. Only 21 GP so far this year, has 1 goal and is a - 10. That's a lot of yuck...

[Mathgod]

Look hockey gods, we get it, you hate us. But can we just ask that Colorado win this game? Is that asking too much?

I turned the game on after the football game. I saw at least 2 times the Oilers get away with interference, 2 posts and had to listen to Hanrahan mid climax everytime the Oilers fired a wet noodle to the net. No thanks.

[hwy19man]

Roy scores the shorthanded goal! It is now 2-0 Kings. Nice offensive breakout by the Kings.

[fire_starter]

Course the one game I want the Knights to win and they're blowing it. Typical.

[direwolf]

Shots are 21-12 for Colorado. Just another typical Oiler game where they get outshot and outplayed by a wide margin, and yet are still in the game because of a phantom penalty call against the opposition resulting in an Oiler PP goal.

[Karl]

Eichel having a brutal game including a horrible neutral zone turnover and it leads to the Kings going up 3-0.

[DoubleK]

Lol @ Girard running the goalie

[Rejean31]

Of for ####s sake. Another Oiler powerplay.
