You don't honestly expect insightful answers from obvious questions do you? If so, you must luv the between period interviews with sweat soaked players.

been listening to the WGN radio broadcast, just got to a TV. has the reffing been as bad as they were indicating?

You got me there...no. I seldom pay any attention to those interviews because they are cliche riddled and obvious.

May I ask what the question was?

Terrible - Edmonton is $hit without the PP.

By the way...I like your avatar pic. Certainly appropriate for the Oil recently.

Only old timers recognize mine...

I've made a commitment to keep it until they make the playoffs.

I should be recognizable for a while.

No kidding. Only half their goals this game have been 5 on 5.

If I recall, isn't the Oil the worst 5 on 5 club in the NHL so far this year? Perhaps not after tonight...but still.

PP is obviously a strength for them.

ES goals have been the biggest issue really. True they gave up 6 to Nashville but yeah...

Pretty sure they have just over 20 goals 5 on 5. Worst by a pretty large margin.

no argument there..the question was what did they tell the players in the lockerroom..and it was asked on the bench just before the 3rd started..

And you don't think Bettman is telling the refs to call a game to their strength? What would it look like all these #1 picks on a last-place team?

Which is of course why they had no powerplays the previous two games.

Please.

Friggin Hossa...Dirty player taking out both of our goalies...

Meh I'm no conspiracy theorist, Oilers are shifty and relatively small, they have a lot of skilled puck-movers and creative playmakers in their top 6 and top 4 (from those #1 picks, I'll give you that) so they make teams pay on the pp. Small and relatively lax on the physical side makes it harder for them to score 5 on 5.

legit penalty but your goalie really sold it...

Giving up 30+ lbs. to Hossa. Total dive.

Well...at least they didn't roll over and completely embarrass themselves...put up a bit of a fight.

...I'm not looking forward to the game in Edmonton. Likely will be ugly for the Hawks.

phuck

(frank)in nailbiter. Christ does Hossa give me nightmares.

Pk lost the game for Hawks.

Emery was Emery.

Oh well 21-2-3 ....


Even though the team has holes they are still in 1st place

This seems pretty logical.

Fun game guys. Always a coaches nightmare between these two teams it seems.
