This year was over before it started. It was funny cause everyone was jacked up about pre season.... blah blah blah. Every team the oil played was a jr team and then they got blown out against the Texas Stars

your joking right? it's game 13 and your already called it quits and thrown in the towel?

Don't get me wrong, it's not like I expect him to consistently put up games like he did tonight... Just seems like he has what it take to potentially be a solid NHLer... Backup at least.
- laughs2907

I'd usually be the guy to say that, but I'm judging based on his style of play... Positionally he was fantastic and he was very athletic... Plus he was calm as (frank). It didn't look like a fluke to me. I'm mostly basing it off of the attributes I noticed tonight.
- laughs2907

that alone is what have impress me and because of that i will say this,the game tonight was not a fluke,can He play the same way every Game he plays?probably no,but if He can play near the level He did tonight every 3 or 4 out of 5 games then the Oil have a Goalie to compete with Dubnyk and the Oil record will improve big time.

Not joking, but not throwing in the towel either. I want a trade to make the team better now. The need a big two way dman and power forward. I want them to start winning games. But I doubt playoffs will happen, they dug a massive hole them selves and now have to fill it it could be a long year

I think everyone was jacked up with good reason,this Oil team should have a better record,the only problem is that not one though the Goalies were going to be the Number one problem.

... It was one game, guys. One hell of a good game, but one game all the same. Definitely keep him as a backup and let him play until he has a stinker, but Dubnyk is our starter.

Nope he stole a point for the Oil,yes one game and yes Dubnyk still the number One goalie but if Bachman have one stinker but 3 or 4 good games then He deserve the chance to play more,specially if Dubnyk can't keep a good consistence play.

The man did stop 47 shots tonight.

I hate shoot-outs,I think they should keep playing till someone score,start overtime 4 on 4 if the first overtime not one score then play them 3 on 3 and I think a team will score for sure.

You're (frank)ing right he did.

That would be much more entertaining.

I think the 'just game 13' is abit misleading.

Of course it's not impossible, but we've really made it tough and have almost hooped ourselves.

To get to 94 points, we need 86 in the final 69 games.
That's like 40-23-6. Points in 67% of the remaining games, and outright wins in 57% of them.

Yep, it looks real bad

Unless, of course, some drastic changes are implemented early on to counter a possible downward trend. What steps are needed urgently as of now?

with a good goalie anything is possible

I detect some sarcasm.....

Movie time,going to watch 2 guns then Fright Night 2

What did he do?
- Yeti1181

Well some idiots made him Captain, and he stood there and acted like he actually belonged.

Poor Bachman he deserved this win after his performance
- RatedR80

rest of the teaam deserved to lose though...

I think gagner is a great player but he's not going to magically fix all our problems. Very excited to see him back but some of the expectations for him here seem bonkers

Need to start getting points. This reminds me of a couple years back when over half of our losses were by 1 goal.

Just start winning and the rest sorts itself up.

Damn! If the Oilers had a decent goalie, we would have won that one!
