Matt Henderson: Bachman: Let It Ride Bachman's performance should earn him another start and a shot at the backup role. The Oilers don't have any other NHL ready goalies so they need to find out if this final internal option is viable.

Now we just need to let BTO (Better Than Others) do his thing and not be corrupted by the ineptitude of Freddie Chabot.

Pretty sure BTO is better than Hannah LaBarbera

I (frank)ing hate BTO, it hasn't gotten any better with Bachman playing well and every 2nd person trying to be smart with their references.

I might have to counter and concede my bet with whipper and get the Bieb on early.

I agree about Bachman the goalie though. I always liked the move. He did well at times in Dallas, but needed to find consistency. The thing is right now he doesn't need to be consistent to get a NHL job. He just needs to have one good game like he did last night every 5 games.

That's a (frank)ing insult if I've ever seen one.

OKC signed him assigned him to the CHL. Not doing to well right now.

Enjoy your ban dude!

Anyone else here find it interesting that Eakins did not let Gazdic out on that ice after that Clifford knee to knee job on Nuge???

He deserves to play until he returns to normal, who knows what his normal will be?
There are many goalies in the AHL ready for the NHL but spots are scarce. Gustafsson in Iowa and Kuemper, both have huge potential, Martin Jones, caught behind the LA tandem, and the list goes on. I like Bachman in Dallas and thought he had potential. Is Olivier Roy a future starter in Edmonton??

What do you mean? He had a tilt with nolan shortly after?

I don't know, but the kid is going to get his shot in OKC now. He's put up very similar numbers to Bachman this year, but in only 2 games. Now it's up to Roy to prove he can be a starter in the AHL.

I must have missed that part then as I thought there was no fight- just the one with Jones and the Nultz hit...

Could not agree more Mr. Henderson.

How in the (frank) are the Avalanche the best team in hockey today (with 11 games played)??? What an amazing young hockey team! Its just not fair- it was supposed to be us

Right off the face off after Jones and Clifford went.
