  1. i don't believe there's anything to any of this.
  2. It's not that folks think Terry doesn't care. He does. The problem is that he believes he's qualified to act as a POHO and dictate the strategic direction of the team. As owner he has the right to do that, however it hasn't worked. Wether or not he ever comes to the realization they need an actual experienced hockey mind in the POHO role remains to be seen.
  3. offside calls should be fully automated, we have the technology. It was, by definition of the rule, a hand pass. Tuch swatted at the puck and wether intentional or not, it hit his glove and went untouched to Thompson for the tap in. Correct call. McDavid's tying goal was clean, had no issues with it. Tuch should've received a penalty for a cross check, prior to his hooking penalty. It was a make-up call, happens all the time. He knew he got away with the cross-check, no need to reach over the guy and pull him down right in front of the ref. Low IQ play from Tuch. Ruff gets heated at officials. I like it. It shows that he cares and he's competitive. The jersey tug on Quinn in the final minute was egregious and should've been a penalty. He felt the tug and he went down, I believe if he stays on his feet and keeps battling he gets that call. Instead he flopped down to the ice, which refs don't like.... make an effort to battle through the infracton and you'll get the call every time.
  4. franchise altering goal. this is the moment. next stop. playoffs.
  5. just concede the extra point and go the room
  6. refs making sure they have a say in this one "over officious jerks!"
  7. mini-mite Bryson had no chance there
  8. so that's clearly an icing, but not reviewable... OK NHL.
  9. hoping UPL comes out for the third wearing an Oiler's sweater
  10. back to back no goal games for Thompson
  11. Give him a break. He's too close to the magnetic north pole, likely triggered something internal. The Edmonton broacast mentioned the trainers had him wrapped in lead blankets prior to warmups.
  12. Statistically he's in the bottom 3rd of the league in almost all categories. In the land of the blind, one-eyed man is King.
  13. Hope Ellis is OK, not a very good goaltender... but a likeable kid who you'd like to see do well. Do they call up Levi now to keep the goalie carousel in motion?
  14. You have to give Levi a shot at some point? He can't be any worse. They've drafted a goalie each of the last 3 drafts, but none are remotely close to being ready yet.
  15. Maybe they leave UPL in Edmonton.
  16. what a mess
  17. This feels like a pivotal game on the roady, a turning point for the season... or perhaps the franchise as a whole. Maybe they finally pull it together? <enter goalie name> shines and with growing confidence they string together some wins, vaulting themselves into playoff contention by the turn of the new year.
  18. it looked like they spent that last 3 days on an absolute ripping bender Fri night, Sat, Sun for these young guys partying in western Canada i hope they're having fun
  19. Norris, Dahlin, Tuch and Thompson a combined -12 tonight. That's your leadership group.
