You flamers and rule whiners need to jump to that other hockey thread.
The boys got a big game tomorrow against Arizona ( man.... we lose to them... I’m gonna hear about it!)
We’re gonna pull out a big win here!!
Whohoooo!

The other thread is about a team effort and winning, I think this is the right thread for whining. Good luck with Coyotes. Flames up 3-1 on TAMPA!

It doesn’t bother me one bit.
I still got your goalie in my pool and I needed the 3 points.
I’ll dump him
when you guys do your usual late season slump (seen plenty o them)
It’s gonna be sooooooo sweet ta hear ya whine and groan like last year.
Only TC gets a shot o double rye from my spring winnings when it happens...

Bessie your right, this is about the oilers.
Take a look. http://www.sportsclubstats.com/NHL/W...ePlayoffs.html

Tough sledding for the Oilers now....closest team in the conference (12th place Anaheim) is 8 points up with a game in hand.

Love your passion Bessie!!!
Wish I could harness some of that. By no means am I a bandwagoner, but faith is hard to keep. Would be nice to see the boys stomp somebody. Could really give them a well needed boost.

Well, they do have Arizona next...can't get much easier. If they lose this, I would say they've given up.

I hope they get a whoopin from the Coyotes. Flames beat the league leaders and the next night Oilers lose to the worst team in the league. Doesn't get much better than that!

Let's make a deal Bessie. If the Oilers get beat by the Coyotes tonight, you can't tell me to Shaaaadaaaap anymore about taking one for the team.
And if the Oilers win tonight, you have to finally admit that you took one for the team.
Deal?

Cling to it if it helps you sleep at night.
But you might consider it even more embarrassing that the Flames are 11 points up with a game in hand. Or 3rd in the Pacific instead of 6th. Or 13th overall instead 28th. +1 in goals for/against, as opposed to -24? Or that our 4th rounder is 3 points ahead of The Savior in points with a game in hand? Or that the Flames are 7-2-1 and Oilers are 3-6-1 in the last ten.......The comparisons are endless.
But hey, those are just numbers.

Agreed. And as stated, pretty embarrassing that the flames are the only team in the league that the oilers can dominate.

The way those Oilers dominate every aspect of the game is pretty amazing, subjectively.
Objectively, not so much. But the season isn't over yet (though any shot at a playoff spot pretty much is....)

I'm enjoying my whisky Bessie, I will have one with you, though yours is for pain...

I tuned in to watch the Oilers game in 4K, but it looks like I tuned into their usual channel "suck-o-vision 4000"
