Why are we so bad at odd man rushes? It's infuriating

Brain tumor, that makes more sense. Too many beers tonight, I thought they said he was blind (which at the time made sense, you would have to be blind to cheer for the Oilers and also have Hall as your favourite player). But then they were asking the kid to do play by play and I thought "I know the PBP is bad tonight but could a blind kid be any better?"

Flames playing much better since they interviewed the kid though.

We look a lot better this period, but it's still not enough.

They need to pretend they are down 2 with 5 minutes left in the third.

Of course. Wouldn't be an OOT scoreboard without the Flames getting screwed in some way. Sadly I don't see the Avs winning this one.

So you are saying teams, heck Edmonton, would rather have hall?

Seems like a no contest.

I wish Bob Hartley would address Zone entries. Being a defensive-minded coach doesn't mean the team needs to be inept at executing simple offense.

god damn when Colorado is bad and folds, they are REALLY bad

can't believe some people thought these guys were Stanley Cup favorites lol

Starting to agree on the commentating. Hrudey will be talking sometimes when an exciting play develops and he stops immediately and Ball takes over and picks right up where the play is.

That two on one was amateur commentating where the colour commentary keeps going as if a 2 on 1 is secondary. Brutal.

I don't know if I would do that. Maybe they belong to someone else, or they never meant to post it.

I think the kid had more optimism about his own cancer than you do

This camera man is also junk

Seguin was the more dynamic player even while in Boston, and given the reigns to control a top line in Dallas he has carried that over.

Right now, regardless of situation, I would take Tyler over Taylor 10 times out of 10. The same stance I had at that draft.

bad move by hartley not dressing bennett we really need a spark plug

[direwolf]

This team owes Hiller a round of drinks and a lobster dinner after this. Dude is single handedly keeping this a 1 goal game.

[troutman]

Hall is a turnover machine.

No, but just one season ago Hall was the highest scoring LW in the NHL. So the comparison is not cut and dried

[colbym72]

man the camera guy sucks

[combustiblefuel]

How was that not a penalty x2 .


Scrivens trips then the flames player crosschecked trying to backcheck.
