There’s a website called SportsClubStats which usually gets a lot of use in the second half of pro sports season. It computerizes, by percentage, each team’s mathematical chances of making the playoffs.

Guess what the Oilers chances are this morning?

On October 30th.

You ready for this?

They’re 2.8%.

That’s better than only one other team, the Buffalo Sabres at 1.3%.

what did Lars eller called them again ......

A junior hockey team, and Eller sounds like he's a 30 year old saying that or something, he's barely any older

I missed Mclaren. Watching him stare down Gazdic put a little smirk on my face.

Yeah, do you notice when we have both Orr and McLaren dressed, there's no nonsense from the other teams. After last year, teams aren't willing to match up physically and drop the gloves. Our fighting majors are way down because other teams have decided to stay away from intimidation tactics against us.

Kadri was great last night. Great defensively. It's nice to see a centre that can keep up with Phil and jvr and make slick offensive plays and still play defense.

Can we keep him there? Pretty pretty please?

I would say Kadri is better defensively, and has better FO % than Bozak (early I know)

Without a doubt.

So the oilers still suck, what a shock.
I hope the Leafs kick the snot out of the Canucks Saturday.. When was it since we beat them last? Gotta be like 8 years?

two games in and it's golden. How many points for JVR? Yup as I've said all along someone on the line won't get points. When it's Bozak he sucks.

wtf are you talking about, JVR scored last night.

Trying to decide between a JVR or a Rielly Jersey. I love JVR's game and it's probably a little less popular but Morgan is a beaut. His skating and hockey sense is brilliant. One thing I've noticed about Rielly is that he can pivot very fast and rarely gets beat to the outside. Even when it looks like the player might have a step on him.

Kadri Team Canada 2018!

Kadri realizes that it's his big chance to get to the number one line. If he stay's there, he'll cash in huge, when his contract come up for renewal. What better tandem of wingers would you want to play with on the Leafs, or the league for that matter. He just needs to remember to do the little things that Carlyle demands and he'll get his wish. Bozak will finally settle to where he should have been all along. A third line centre on a very good team.

Wait isn't JVR at a PPG over that period?

Soooooooooooooooooooooo...........

Does Reimer get the back to back call, or is Bernier tonight?

Do you have to pay by the letter?

You know who's development Kadri's looks like at the moment? When Carlyle had a young Getzlaf.

You know who he reminds me of more?

Mike Ribeiro.

After next season, when Kadri's bridge deal is done and he gets his big contract Bozak is toast.

Absolutely. Pays off huge especially if you are a fast team.

- big_dion

Oh, BUT IT WAS ONLY 1!!!!

Kadri has 5 pts in his last 2 games, Bozak has 6 all season.

Don't feed the children.

that guy must be pretty stupid.

oh wait...

Avid the others got 3-4 points. Point is someone won't get the points. You'll see.

You know who he reminds me of more?

Mike Ribeiro.

Yeah, always been the most comparable player, just talking about how his development has gone under the same coach.
