GDB 18: Motor City Madness

It’s not quite River City Ransom, and it hardly has the cache of Edward Furlong’s Academy-Award-not-even-remotely-being-nominated-for performance in Detroit Rock City, but some terrifying and eye-catching hybrid of the two is taking place tonight. On skates. And ice.
And you can bet your ass the Justice League™ will be paying close attention, watching for facial ticks and heated exchanges of words as MacT continues to grey at an alarming rate, and Dustin Penner sits comfortably in the press box. Meanwhile, the entire ‘Sphere speculates on both of those guys’ futures with the club (check Lowetide, Covered in Oil and BDHS for some good comments on those issues).
All this off-and-on-ice furor is the result of MacT’s positively scathing indictment of Penner’s performance and attitude in the Edmonton Journal. I’m not going to add to the crap storm here. I’m just going to cross my fingers, consume a 15-pack of Vitamin-P and hope for a checkmark in the W column.
Go Oil!

Conks is awesome - anoher example of how MacT screws up young talent
Maybe we need a good old fashioned brawl.
Roli vs Conks
Potulny has been good down there, as has Shremp, but Brule is putting up points too. I say it's Shremp as they need to answer that question sooner rather than later. Imagine Shremp with Cole?
Every team in the league has at least 4 ex oilers on it. And if they don't automatically start playing better for the rest of their career, they have all their best games against the Oilers. It's science!
Oh, just great.
Balls.
Maybe we send MacT down and call up Truitt??
Let the slugfest ensue...
Someone take out the Mule
gee, sure sore I missed this shit show.
we should get franzen...he's good
Franzen gives MacT a boner.
I think MAc T is gone. this week. If not tomorrow, then after columbus if they don't hussle their asses off.
Pisani done?!! no!
Gags not out...
When a horse is this lame they shoot it.
MacT looks like he ie either going to cry or hurl
They will lose in Columbus - Torres with a Gordie Howe hat-trick
if gagner is hurt too, we may get a Brule Shremp combo call up.
And in case anyone missed it, Pierre McGuire broke the news a few weeks back that the Blue Jackets have this guy named Nash, and he's pretty good. So. Be on the look out.
sorry I see Gagner out there, never mind.
Is it my imagination or is Vishnovski getting worse each game at handling the puck??
Gagner looks good after going through the Mac-Blender
Giving Conky a shutout is some bitter poison.
Wheels fallen off the tractor......
What's the score in the Football game? Anyone?
I'll tell you now that Gagner won't be bawling like a baby alla Patrick Kane if MacT is fired.
There goes the mask! It's only a matter of time before someone gets a goal stick in the mouth/back of the head!
I can't beleive they are leaving Roli in there...
There's the mask flip...he is pissed or super posessed focused
13-7 Browns
in 14 days I predict a trade and a coaching change.
Yeah - that was weak form kane.
No way, well I'm going to watch this. It's a lot closer game than that other crap.
If Rolli continues to make 30 plus saves every time he starts, and still can't buy a win, someone from is own team is going to get a face full of blocker.
The detroit commentators are commenting on everything but the game as they are so bored.
This is after the commented on the lack of effort from the Oilers.
That exit shot was Roli praying for a trade to Detroit.
JS - yeah and it will be MacT.
that would be AWESOME!!
Even better, Detroit doesn't have a shutout this season & the oilers can't even score on the back-up...
There cannot be too much time left for MacT. I find it hard to believe that he might finally be fired, but at this point how can you think anything else. I could see him being promoted to a different position within the organization almost.
In my opinion Hemsky and a few others need a different mind behind their bench. MacT's game is jus not offensive enough. Now the red wings are a powrhouse team and it honestly wasnt expected that we win thsi game, but the effort has been piss poor all f'n game
F MacT in his A.
i need a lot more beer to forget this one.
How bad does it look that MAC T goes on a public tirade and his team doesn't show up. this is sad.
Denis Savard to come in then Nubian
YAY only a one minute of pain left.
Pull the Roli!!
"but the effort has been piss poor all f’n game'
And it's been like that all season. Even in some of the games that we won, we still had no jump. We just got lucky bounces or the other team somehow managed to play even worse than we did.
why does it always look like a 1 on 5?
that was an easy win for detroit
New coach in the morning? Or is he going to bench someone else? Scorcoff?
MEN against boys!!1
I wonder what is going through Katz's head right now.
Evanka is not happy.
Katz- Man, I have a ton of money. Look how big my house is!
