carkner was good last game and if oilers werent a quick young team im on board with you, but strait is nowhere close to being as slow as carkner.

sure he is

I don't understand all the important ice time that Bouchard is getting, I realize the guy has talent, but he should still have to earn his ice time like everyone else. And so far he hasn't earned squat.

Jack Capuano=Moron. That's all you need to understand. As far as Bouchard having talent I know nothing about that nor do I think we will ever see it on a consistent basis. Crap signing.

the only thing i can come up with is that he is on a short leash and they are giving him his chance to prove what he can do. to me thats the only answer otherwise youre right, not sure why hes getting these minutes-- or any minutes for that matter.

If he was on a short leash he would've been benched four games ago. Instead they are promoting him for doing absolutely nothing.

At the game, front row
Viz is what we ddream of hickey becoming

still at work, but looking at the box score we need a second goal. Outshooting them 10-3 and only 1-0 and edmonton is one bounce away from getting back in the game.

And another give away by Andrew MacDonald.

Wow. I hate this.

Okposo dogging it coming back. His man scores,

Other than Hamonic, our defensemen are worthless...I said it before the season, and I'll say it over and over, until Snow does something about it. Worthless. All of them. Lots of wonderful forwards. Lots of terrible defensemen. Sounds like a trade needs to be made. This would be when you take some of the assets you have, and exchange them for assets you need....just in case Garth doesn't understand what that word means...

That said....their goalie is crap.....reminds me of Joey Pitchback...might as well have stumps instead of a glove and blocker....I expect the floodgates to open shortly.

Amac is (frank)ing terrible
He is seriously pissing me off

And even Viz is a 5th defenseman, and a power play quarterback..not much more. We need about 4 guys who are better than Visnovsky......

Viz Donovan Hammer have looked good
Hickey ok
Strait bad
Amac has been freaking terrible

Hickey looks OK, until someone throws him to the ice like he's an octopus....

young stan Butch and Jiggs

Wow. Even Butch piles on Grabner. Blames him for the second goal, when it was Okposo's man. What the hell did Grabner do to these guys to get so much hate?

sure he is

Strait is every bit as slow as Carkner....so is MacDonald...and Hickey is certainly not fast enough to be 5'7" and 120 lbs.

Actually, both goals were MacDonald's fault. MacDonald should have gotten equipment on the point shot that led to the second goal, and the first goal was because of a lazy clearing attempt, as usual....

Okposo cruised about 3 feet behind Hall the whole way in and didn't even put a stick on him until he had already shot the puck.

The puck never should have gotten to the net for Hall to shoot it...I'm not apologizing for Okposo, who is also lazy...just saying that our players in general, but especially our defensemen, need to learn to do whatever it takes to get equipment on these shots from the point.

That's two penalties that shouldn't have been calle in a row

The second one on the Isles was sh*t- should have been holding the stick on the forward.

Donovan looks much better defensively tonight
Hammer is having a great game, Amac? LOL
KO had a beautiful second period
Clutterbuck is doing all the little things right, he'll get some pts soon
Bailey is filthy at stick handling, easily the best "deker" on the team
PMB looks much better the last 2 games

I'll take it....one thing, though...totally disagree with Howie....the ice is still horrible....

Good game. Strait played much better and Donovan was very good today. Now lets build on this.

This easily could have been a 6-5 game if the ice wasnt so poopty

And man, some of the Oilers are drama queens... (Hall, Smid, J Schultz)
