Must win.

Don't hate the player, hate the game usage. And then show me either a different player on this roster or a different usage scheme that can do it better.

I know Hitch isn't the answer, but it would be perfectly Oilers to do something as janky as firing Chiarelli and keeping Hitch as head coach. Then no GM with NHL experience will want to come with 10 miles of that tire fire. It'd also be pretty Oilers to fire Chiarelli and promote Hitch to GM (remember that Hitch claimed he was done coaching). Hitch's being from Edmonton may win him points with ownership, potentially enough for some sick, twisted moves to occur. Disclaimer: I've been drinking.

Big picture: this team was going to have some growing pains this season, and if anyone was going to save us, it wasn't going to be the blueline. If you told me in August that we won six straight before Christmas, I would have given even odds that Hutton had a GAA of <1.00 or Eichel/Skinner combined for 24 goals in that stretch.

Woody, did you have to take viagra to keep upright?

Nope. Like it or not, you're in league with Liger on this nonsense, and you're gonna get made fun of for it. It's as asinine as PA's trial of Pegula. Ristolainen is singlehandedly sheltering the rest of the defensemen. Same as last year, except he's not locked in with a steady partner. His effort and achievement are commendable.

Ristolainen, Scandella, Dahlin, Bogosian, and Beaulieu trade imminent. E5.

Save the season and trade both of them.

Or, you know, because he has five points in the last six games, is +3 in that span with an OT GWG, where each of those stats in direct contrast to the weak criticisms leveled early in the season. And his QoC is off the charts and he's playing 25+ minutes a night. But it's probably just the one game.

NO, I DON'T LIKE PEOPLE PLAYIN' ON MY PHONE.

I don't like people playin on my phone.

"It seems you get either a really solid player or a trainwreck. ...I think we might need to consider moving on from him unless his play can be turned around."

Win streak at six. Four of those against top ten teams.

And a league-leading win streak at six. Toronto with four, all others with two or worse.

WE MAY NEVER LOSE AGAIN

Holy ***** *****.

I know we're evolving, but the series records are brutal. http://mcubed.net/nhl/buf/pit.shtml We haven't won in that building since 2013 and we're 6-24 against PIT in the 2010's. The 2000's weren't much better: 14-25-4. This is not an easy game. Pittsburgh's 2-7-1 in their last 10 and undoubtedly going to be playing desperate hockey against a Sabres team playing its 3rd game in four days. This is not an easy game.

Must win.

Must win.

Must win.

Also, not news: Milbury is a *****. Anson Carter is not a *****, he gets it.

Ha, just finished too. Sir Mix A Lot sez: DOINK DOUBLEUP DOINK DOINK

Not sure if it was figured out yet, but that was AJ Mleczko on color. Gold in Nagano, Silver in Salt Lake, national title with Harvard. Patty Kaz winner. Did some work for NESN, got hired to NBCSN just this year. First woman color commentator in an NHL Playoff in the 2nd round last year. Also got hired to MSG for Islanders this year as a studio analyst. Her cadence/timing was a little rough around the edges during play, but experience will polish that. Her work during packages in intermission (where she's had more practice) was sharp. I think she shows a lot of promise and I look forward to hearing more.
