Doughty has a bit more swing.

Hard to be a good goalie when you have that defence in front of you 

Edmonton should have made some more trades this offseason

True - although they did win behind his rock solid .879 SV% - wonder when we get to see the KHL goalie they signed? Figured by now they would learn he can't play 65-70 games a year 

At least Brock scored. 

That's something. I remember thinking of going to the game on my birthday (last year or two years ago)...it was the third straight game that we got shutout lol.

The first game I ever attended, we were shut out 1-0 by the Flames.

No, I don't think Chia would do that. I think a Lucic type deal (7 years, 6 million per with a NMC) makes more sense for Chia. 

No. 7x7 

Ch, ch, ch Chia!

Clearly coaching was a problem right? LOL. 

I guess we owe Edmonton some gratitude, they have definitively answered the question "can one player carry an NHL team".

I can’t thank the poster enough, who showed me HF Boards for the Oilers.  Reading that board is great fun!  

Looch and Kassian get to take the next month off now.

sabre's could do us a fav in Calgary ,Wednesday and empty the tank for Friday nite's game. sorry @SabreFan1 flames at 64 pts, if the nucks can maintain that last WC spot which their tied for right now.  I would rather they go up against the flames in rd 1 if...…………..

The Sabres should be embarrassed after this one.  Only 2 goals on over 40 shots.  They let in 7 goals on 25 from the Oilers.

Wonder if it'll affect his top-end speed long-term?
Hope he recovers well

Wonder who he directed his temper tantrum at for giving it to him.

is it too soon to say McCovid? 

All about making sure the expectations seem attainable to the players.  Hit enough of these small goals and the big picture takes care of itself.  Perfect coach for this team.

I hope we acfusllt don’t have to win the next 45 of 60 games though…..

Bruce is all about changing behaviour, and a long-time strategy for behaviourists wanting to change behaviour is to give the subject short term, attainable goals with high feedback and accentuation of the positives. Nobody ever got better being told how bad they were. Bruce is one example of how experience and wisdom trumps youthful exuberance and impulsiveness. He seems to have all the answers because he's seen all of this before and knows the plot, the dialogue and the steps needed to pull out of this season-long slump.

Dang dude good luck.

remember your CDC friends!

I was going to try buying some but they have maxed out and are now closed

He can get some training by working as a waiter in Utica's press box.

It was a joke as i highly doubt he reads these forum 

@King Heffy absolutely - he could even attend Binghamton or Cornell and get am associate business degree for when he goes back to Sweden.

yeah that was a hammer

Fun fact: Wayne Gretzky is the NHL all-time leader in empty net goals with 56.  Pavel Bure is tied with Trottier for 7th with 28.

louie’s play is helping bo’s line and his defense is helping the team. louie has handled his situation like a pro. cudo’s louie.

Please keep going Loui.  Don't care even if it's a 7th round pick or even future considerations. 

Just keep upping that trade value. 

Center of the Universe.

Amazing how a team who hasn't won a Cup in over 50 years gets such adulation lmao

damn RIP both, didn’t know about Mean Gene; I remember Super Dave used to come on around the same time as Earthworm Jim

2 days in and I'm already done with 2019

nothing wrong with 2019

"circle of life" is just turning

both were well into their 70s

full lives lived

what more do people really expect?

eternal life? immortality ?

you really do not want to greatly outlive your peers

life gets pretty lonely when all your friends depart and leave you alone

-------------------------------------------

here is an interesting fact about life expectancy of russian men:

(the expectancy for a canadian male is 81.2; usa is about 5 years less)

The most striking thing about Russian life expectancy data is the difference between men and women. In 2016, the life expectancy for Russian women was 77.1 years, but only 66.5 years for men, an astonishing 11-year gap. Nowhere in the world is the difference greater. In most countries, including the US, the gap is about 5 year

and

my cousin just died last week of health related issues just prior to his 57th birthday - too short of a life in my view .  he deserved another 20 years like gene and super realized

The should just move them to Quebec city.

No. There isn't. I think Richard Panik was playing on the top line at one point.

Well they're hosting an ECHL team.

and the Leafs too!

There definitely was a reaction to the Gaudreau hit 

sorry @MikeBossy  They reacted. They must have better vision and iPads on their bench.

I stand corrected although it appears no one sought retribution by engaging in a fight or even roughing as many on here wanted the Canucks to do after the hit on EP. But hey if the Flames made it clear they were not happy by talking to the Bruins at least its more than what we did

maybe your fly was open

Yes, I can relate. I stepped into a convenience store at a gas

station two weeks ago. I was the only one wearing a mask.

None of the 3 employees, or the 12 other customers, was

wearing one. A few people did look at me as if I were a little

"different," No, my fly wasn't down, JM.

Today, I stopped into that same convenience store and everyone

was following the rules and wearing a mask. It was nice to see that.

Like last year it's about Connie winning the scoring title for some bragging rights about having the best player in the blah blah blah. They will pick in the top five and blow than one too!

Edmonton will not make the playoffs and not only that but they have Cap issues because of 4 players making around 33 million.Do I feel sorry for them,NO I DO NOT.

This team has gotten 4 first overall picks at the LOTTO DRAFT in the last decade or so,  when the Canucks have never ever had one in fifty years or so,this is one of the reasons I do not feel sorry for the way this team has stunk for sooo long,another reason is they have many Stanley Cup wins when they has Gretzsky etc. BOO HOO for Edmonton.

I wonder how much being a Soiler is holding McDavid back.  Look at how Eberle and Hall exploded when they finally escaped that dump of a city and joined actual NHL franchises.

I wonder what kind of garbage return they'll get for McNuggets when he's finally had enough of embarrassing himself by playing for that joke of an organization.  Edmonton would struggle to make the AHL playoffs even if they were forced to play in the league they belong in.

Its perfect

Bold prediction.

Wow, do you mean the Oilers might beat the worst team in the league,HOW EPIC!

Set the parade route.

LMAO - if they can't beat Ottawa with McDavid and Drasaitl and by a lopsided score then they really are that bad (Which we all know they are) :D

maybe we can get a christmas miracle and somehow beat Winnipeg tonight, Tampa probably takes care of Edmonton and we end up in a wildcard spot. 

Dare to dream Jimmy!!! (fingers crossed)
