Questions that need answers

The MacBlender is out again, although this time it’s on low rather than high. At practice this morning the lines were the same as the third period in Nashville.
Penner – Horcoff – Hemsky Nilsson – Cogliano – Gagner Moreau – Pisani – Cole MacIntyre – Brodziak– Pouliot
MacTavish has to be wondering what is going on with this team.
We wonder about much more than that...
Why has Gagner, who is still playing 18 minutes a night, been so ineffective offensively?
Why can’t the Oilers win a key draw in their own zone?
Why can they only score in the second period? They’ve only tickled the twine three times in the first and third periods this season. They have 12 goals during the middle frame.
Did Dustin Penner scare the hands out of his teammates in Jasper?
Will Ales Hemsky ever become a great player? Not just a talented player, but become one who can lead and carry a team?
Do the Oiler forwards realize that hitting is allowed? Outside of Cole (20) and Moreau (22) none of them have more than seven.
MacIntyre: 7 Stortini: 7 Nilsson: 6 Brodziak: 5 Penner: 5 Cogliano: 4 Hemsky: 4 Pisani: 4 Pouliot: 3 Gagner: 2 Horcoff: 1
One hit in nine games for Horcoff; he should have more just by accidentally running into the opposition.
If they aren’t scoring shouldn’t they at least be physical?
I wonder if any girls are dressing up as Selene from Underworld tonight (A good thought is required now and then).
How long before Steve Tambellini has to shake things up?
Will MacTavish bench one of his top players to send a message? If so, who is the most (least?) worthy?
Who would have thought the Oilers would miss Reasoner or Stoll as much as they do?
Why is Roloson wearing Fuhr’s retro gear while Garon is honouring Ranford? shouldn’t it be the other way around based on their glove hands?
If some of these questions don’t get answered soon, the Oilers will have to make a major move before they get home.

5 on 3 we better pot one!
Get the crayolas out macT & draw up a goal.
Wow I just looked at the schedule and saw back to back matinee games this weekend.
Who the hell is making the schedules? I can't say I have ever even heard of that happening.
Wow Souray you HAVE to make that outlet pass
Well I am now o for 2 in the guarantee department
My biggest grippe with MacT has always been his PP coaching. Hire a fucking specialist already! It actually makes me jealous of Montreal.
No Coors Light ads!
(barfs in mouth)
I am a big fan of the Storm Squad in NC though. Nice eye candy during games.
I don't feel good about OT - finish it now!
you're right wayne, the schedule is heinous. shitanusly® so.
way too long, too many back-to-backs, and two early games. we are getting eff'd in the a.
21 hits - pretty generous..
Q: Is there anything more exciting than a 1-1 afternoon game against Carolina the day after halloween?
A: Only knowing the next game is at 11 AM
Hemmer's playing like he was hanging out with Wayne last night.
Roloson looks decent today. Has he been playing well all game?
(barfs in mouth)

ABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Principe seems like that friend that you hang out with only because you've known them for so long and you don't want to be mean.
Shut your mouth Louie Debrusk. I'm not buying your brand of garbage
Wow Wayne, what did ol' Louie do to you?
Any word on who starts tomorrow? Garon?
Knowin MacT he'll ride a goalie till they lose. I bet Roli.
Mmmm fish & pasta for breakfast.
Jim -
I just don't buy that he is the best color commentary man out there. I feel like they say "what ex Oiler can we find that will do exactly as he is told?'
They only pick softball pitchers and to top that off it isn't as though Debrusk has a rich history and experience to draw from....
Can I go lie down now?
Thanks everyone. Go Oilerzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
(snoring)
I agree with you on the ex-Oiler thing, but wasn't he doing colour in San Jose or somewhere for a few years? that at least gives him some experience. I just haven't listened to him enough to decide if he's any good or not...too busy reading the hilriousness that commentators on this site post, I watch most games on my own and acyually laugh out loud at you guys.
SWEET!!!!!!! FINALLY!!!!!!
