If Phaneuf was a FA next year (which he isn't), Id love for him to sign a cheap deal and be the 7th dman on this team. I miss him and was sad to see him go.

you feel a need to see if we can at least score a few goals against another sucky team? You like watching Connor McDavid play? You miss Toby Rieder?

Well, another one in the booth to get attention away from Kings

Lord help us all.

C'mon Kovi, show that you belong up there on 1st line tonite.

There's too many teams within striking distance. Don't **** this up, just keep on tanking.
Quote:
Just lose.
Quote:
God whenever these dumb **** injured vets keep coming back my heart drops more and more. Get the **** off this team.

The Oilers wings are awful
Quote:
Fitting that Clifford scores a 90s like goal and makes the Oilers defense look like pylons.
Quote:

Quote:
Holy Chit!! even Carts getting on the board.....Will wonders ever cease
Quote:

Quote:

Quote:
Carts!!!
Quote:
I remember that 77 guy... he used to do that stuff all the time!
Great snipe, Carts!
Quote:
Just got in and up 3 already! Who knew all they needed was a shooter tutor for opposition goalie?
Can the Oilers fire a coach twice in one season?
Quote:
What's happened with the Kings tonite. They're actually playing with a lot of energy
Quote:
Yeah, but the Oil topped him as far as Looch is concerned. They gave him like an 8 year contract, haha.
Looch's nose is even bigger than mine.
Quote:
Drew put an elbow into McD's face? CBC says no heart on the Oil and Hitch should show them the tape for ammo. Maybe some retribution is coming in the second?
Quote:
Doughty just did a HNIC interview that wasn't full or platitudes and cliches. What a strange game tonight
Quote:
14 total saves at the half way point. lol. I think we all may have over-guessed!
Quote:
It's all the Oils fault. I think they're just along for the ride in this one tonight.
Quote:
I wanted 3 more goals

Trade half of the team after this game while they are hot.
Quote:
Carter and toffoli same game holy ****
Quote:
McDavid is not going to win **** all in Edmonton.
Must be a full moon tonight.
Carter makes it 3-0... in the 1st! :laugh:
Quote:
Toffoli and Carter, in the same game. In the same period. The Oilers are a new low of suck.
Quote:
Edmonton Oilers = Slumpbusters.
Quote:
Ain't no shame in pickin up a fatty from time to time to get yourself out of a rut.
Quote:
Edm is really a bad team, they will get another top ten pick. That's amazing with McDavid as your top Center.
Quote:
They have no defenseman or depth which is amazing when you think about it
Quote:
Not sure how George Costanza is still their GM.
Quote:
doughty coming over to laugh at mcdavid for failing to break that out at the end of the period
what an absolute ********, i love it
Quote:
It's raining goals in LA!
Quote:
The Oilers GDT is already at 18 pages. I think they’re very pleased with their team.
Quote:
18 after 1 period? Oh man, thats hilarious!
Quote:
EDM is going to be in a world of hurt if they can't get Leon Draisaitl to Center his own line
Quote:
I know it's 3-0, but come on guy, run the Oilers out of LA for a change!
Quote:
Dion ****ing Phaneuf is going to score before Lucic.
Dirty plays

Larssen does dirty all the time..that was an ugly slew foot

Quote:

pathetic
Quote:
hahahahah was that doughty "**** you connor, cmon connor!"
Quote:
mcdavid punching leipsic in the back of the head? no big deal
Quote:
Truly amazing how great McDavid is. Dude is pretty much carrying 21 corpse every game and is tied for third in the league in Points. Wow.
Some fans arent too pleased with going against the lose for hughes plan
Quote:
Stop winning you stupid peckerheads.
Quote:
Oh geez another win
Quote:
The Kings almost look like a hockey team against the Edmonton ****shows.
Quote:

Kopi's 300th!!!
Quote:
Brownie, Kopi...wow, nice play there
Quote:
Even Kopighost is scoring tonight, haha.
Quote:
Gotta say, Kings D have done a fine job of containing Connor out there.
Quote:
Boy Edm stinks. I feel bad for feeling bad for them.
Quote:
Shoot, they've had top picks for years and still can't manage to be a top team.
Quote:
well, I think it's safe to say that Jonathan Quick is going to get his 300th career win no matter what happens with this goal.
Quote:
Where the hell has that been all season!? 4-0 and # 300 for Kopitar!
Quote:
Losing to the Kings has cost some coaches their jobs. I think Peter Chiarelli is next
Quote:
Carter levels McDavid yes!!!
Lucic the tough guy
Quote:
lmao looking for a fight on the PP because mcdavid got checked
what a team of losers
Quote:
Lucic is so ****ing bad.
Quote:
Veteran play by Lucic, showing he’ll step up and do whatever it takes.
Following a player half his size, whacking his ankles all the way.
Quote:
oh that's ****in gold right there, leipsic just completely baited lucic into that and he bit 100%
Quote:
So happy that Dean did not re sign Lucic. Dodged a bullet there .
Quote:

Timely Hitchcock Challenge

Quote:
Lol Hitchcock is such a ****ing loser for challenging that.
Quote:

Even Kings fans know E=NG
Quote:
Oilers on their way to yet another top 10 pick while wasting a prime year of McDavid is pretty impressive
Quote:
Suck it Oilers!
4-0 shutout.
Quote:
Captain Kangaroo after the game "We didn't compete... we had one player show up and compete... Darnell Nurse"
Looking like a pylon is competing?
Quote:
Maybe if the Oilolers get a few more Top 5 draft picks, they will be able to compete.
Quote:
lol, I don't think they've been top contenders since Gretz left.
Quote:
The Oilers GDT has some gems in it. This is my personal favorite.

When it was over, head coach Ken Hitchcock unloaded on a team that didn’t even bother to engage.
“We had one player show up and play, Darnell Nurse,” he said. “He was our best player by a mile, he was one of our most competitive players on the ice and that’s all we had.
“We didn’t compete. (LA’s) best players were their best players and we didn’t compete. This is on everybody. Everybody. When you have one player who competes at a high level in a game like this it can’t be acceptable. There’s been too much of this go on in the first 41 games.
“We win one, and then we take our foot off the gas. And that’s what we did. This is what happens when you don’t show up.”
Quote:
I think you are what you are and what has to change for us is we’re a situation motivated team,” said Hitchcock, adding they only dig in when they’re shamed into it. “It has to come from in the locker room. So you or I or anybody else can bark and bitch and scream and yell all we want, but it has to come from inside the locker room.
“I’ve only been here for 21 games and I can see the situation motivates us. We lose, we get embarrassed, we get motivated. That isn’t a playoff team, that isn’t a playoff attitude, and we have to change. This can’t be acceptable.”
Is this a character flaw in the team?
“I don’t know what it is,” said Hitchcock, exiting the media scrum. “We’ll figure it out. I’ve said enough. I’ll get myself in further trouble, but this is not acceptable.”

Ah, all's well with the Canucks and Oilers both losing on HNIC. Quick with the 16 save SHUTOUT in the Kings 4-0 win. That's gotta be one of the easier shutouts in his career. Hutchinson with the 28 save SHUTOUT in the Leafs 5-0 victory. Matthews had 3 points. Okay, take a shower now after cheering on the Leafs.
Evander Kane scored 2 goals and now has 200 career goals. Burns with 3 points as the Sharks chomped the Lightning 5-2 to end their amazing point streak. The Sharks are in a 5 way battle which separated by 4 points for 1st in the western conf.
The Predators win 4-1 over the Habs in another Subban-Weber showdown. Weber scored the Habs only goal, Subban with 2 assists and Smith scored 2 goals. The Predators are also in the thick of the 5 way battle.
The Wild's 4-3 reg win puts them just 2 points back of the 8th place Ducks. Parise with 3 points and Spurgeon with 2 goals for the Wild. Nice moment after the game, Dubnyk autographed his stick and gave it to a kid who is a Dubnyk fan and was overwhelmed.
The Islanders and BJs both win and that puts them in playoff spots ahead of the now 9th place Habs.
The Islanders only had 14 shots on goal and hung on to win 4-3 in reg time. Lehner faced 32 shots for the win.
The BJs won in OT with Seth Jones scoring early in the extra session.
The Bruins won in reg time over the Sabres. Rask was just over 2 minutes away from the shutout when Ritolainen scored to make it close.
