this team sure likes to play for it's leaders and coach.....

SON OF A....

Wow. This team doesn't deserve the playoffs that was as pathetic an effort as I've seen. It looked like no-one even wanted to touch the puck. disgusting. If I had paid to see that I would be demanding a refund.

so now what?

Lift from Pisani my ass.... this team played like the last thing they wanted was Pisani.

Moreau takes another stupid penalty to kill 2 mins of the remaining comeback time, what a joke of a captain he takes far too many lazy, selfish penalties to be captain.

Fiveandgame:

"What do you get when you cross heart with raw skill?"

"I don’t know either cause it’s been a long time since I’ve seen it on home ice."

You didn't notice Nash skating around on the ice tonight? Or for that matter, Iginla last weekend?

Every once and a while a player named Hemsky shows up in Oiler colours with these qualities, but it feels like it's been a while since he was here now.

I dunno, become a canuck fan maybe?? It's an awful thing to consider

TAKE IT BACK! TAKE IT BACK RIGHT!

*crumples into a ball on the floor and cries hysterically*

I'm sorry, I lost my mind for a short time there, I'm better now, I took my meds, really I am

I'm starting to think Hemsky is like Bure, he shows up when he wants and the game is in reach otherwise he shuts it down.

Four forwards on the ice at the end - Ethan "Huh" Moreau, a guy who just missed half the season, Sam "sucks" Gagner, and Robert Nilsson.

Why does Craig MacTavish hate the Oilers?

You know the Mighty Ducks scene where they pass eggs back and forth? The Oilers need to do that. Nobody on this team could cleanly receive a pass in the 3rd period. Bobbled everything.

Speaking of movies, the oilers could make a horror movie that would outsell Friday the 13

MACT WILL SAY THEY BATTLED HARD BUT COULD'T OPEN THE JAM JAR

Good to see the offence keeps clicking. I was a little worried Pisani's return might mess with the team chemistry... no worries it obviously didnt.

Boy we might get a good draft pick with this stellar play... If things keep going this well we might have a chance at Tavares!

Totally agree. I kept thinking the ice must be crap but then Columbus would pass around the puck and not have any issues. Was expecting a different team to show up tonight. Very disappointed.

What a crap game. *Gives Oilers the proverbial finger*

See the NNC that I have now added to my name? Know what it means? Need New Captain. That's right. I just started my own campaign. All aboard!!!

W.T. suggests that sure was OILER HOCKEY tonight.

Are Katz and Lowe under a palm tree with no cell service? Come on leaders, stand up and speak to your loyal fans, say something?

No sense trying to trade for Kovy and Marty now after a great game like that. What the heck, no sense make any trades at all, Oilers can win with the team they have now. Stauffer, quit watching the Healthy Kitchen and post what you said about Smyth on the radio when he was traded.

R.B. and J.G., please post the answer Peca gave to you when you asked him who ran the team during the playoff run.

W.T. suggests this is a Rexall reminder to your loyal Oiler fans to take your Paxil. It is going to be a long long month for you.

what exactly did old Stauffer say when Smyth got traded? all i can remember about that season is inconsolable weeping.

Finally some people are questioning the spokesperson of Rexall Corp...... jaek Daniels and Boom Betty finally were allowed to question his silence at 6:55 this morning.... 1) Katz is a non disclosure person - that is his MO This leads to various cat calls and batman references...... maybe deserved. 2) He had to borrow $100mm to buy the team from CIT Group. Where did the other $100mm come from - himself or a loan from Rexall Corp.... This raises the personal commitment to the team vs corporate branding. 3) After the financial nine eleven this last September on the stock market, does Katz even have $100mm for the new building.... Putting it in trust would silence the doubters...... show us the money. 4) When the oilers opened at home - DK sent Barry Katz (the real Mr. Rexall) onto the ice with Nicholls to represent him - while he took a new citation for a test flight to Europe for a Yacht vacation - possibly in Spain. This raises some issues that the team is a corporate transaction for Rexall Corp rather than a personal investment interest. 5) If the Oilers continue to lose - is it possible that season ticket demand could drop to 12 000 - therefore a new barn is more of a luxury - noting it is the third oldest building in the league that has once been refurbished. 6) Based on a possible cash crunch - with the oilers possibly winning, would the oiler faithful be asked to buck up a pay for the rink and team via a personal seat license at $25K per lower seat and $250 - $350k per suite. 7) Problem on the team is the roster - which Lowe has provided MACT. Horcoff, Penner, Cole are all non performers. Greatest acid test for a contract signing is..... would another GM take this contract..... the answer is no on Horcoff and Penner. 8) Katz has made one public statement in August and has been in seclusion since then. Is it possible that Katz is not in charge and this team is being run by the stakeholders of Rexall from the United States much like MSG. Hockey people make hockey statements - that is why Lowe is paid to be the hockey mouthpiece and sign talent - allegedly. The question is whether Lowe is being true to his job - and no one questions this.

Yes - the conversion process has started - LOWE's kool aid has dried up...... bring the torches.

W.T. says Fred Stauffer said Ryan Smyth was not the person everyone thinks he is in the dressing room. ie. he is/was selfish.

Come on Fred, put down your low fat ribs you are having for breakfest and speak to Oiler Nation

Joey Moss wrote:

Have you ever noticed that Penner stakes out in front of the net and just stands there and watches like a deer in headlights - while Smytty with less pure talent had a heart of a stormtrooper and went into the net and challenged every shot to hit him, deflect off his helmet, stick, chin and take the beating that Penner refuses even to consider. Penner is very white collar, but even at a higher pay scale - Smyth is all construction - blue collar.

Just for the record, I taped the game and got to avoid all Gene Principe references with my PVR button - is he sinking lower than Mark Schultz...... in terms of our attention span.

Sorry Warrior - only RB (your nemesis) can comment - Bob works for Rexall Sports - not Ched and can only comment on oilers.nhl.com which is moderated and controlled by Allan Watt. This is a rightsholders issue as discussed on Gregor's show - Watt believes that the own the content and that people should read this content on their website only. Katz is thinking about borrowing more money and buying the team 1260 so he can coontrol all negative comments from Gregor and B. The end is near - need I Rexall Remind you.

W.T. has to hit the road but one final comment: KLowe is true only to himself. If he was true to the Oiler Nation why do we have a team with a $40m+ salary cap and nothing to show for it. You can talk all you want about prospects, like all the goalies in the organization. Which one is the #1 for next year?

Would Atlanta take Horcoff, Cole and Smid for Kovy and Marty? Probably not,they will say that is not enough. What does that tell you about the great signings KLowe made?

Your Simply the Best KLowe according to Tina Turner

Ice improved this year when the Northlands yahoo's were told to stop using city water and to deionize the h2o prior to setting up the rink - not too bright. I spoke to the consultant and he could not believe the backwards farm approach that Northlands was using causing problems for players and the quality of the ice.

Also, I noticed in Los Angeles and Glendale that they really, really clean the ice between whistles - the ice girls really take their job seriously and have male bucket boys cleaning most of the blueline in.... maybe Northlands should get off its high horse and employ an all male farm team if ice girls are offensive for the Rexall demo and make an extra effort to insure fast clean ice throughout the game - not just the first 5 minutes - their present ice maintenance between whistles is very low key in comaparison to the American rinks - not taken seriously.

Note to cambo - both teams have to play on the same surface - so we have a roster problem - shoot the puck, got to the net, get dirty, take the mountain - ooops sorry Smytty went to the other mountain in Colorado.

If we had a golf cart injury, snow blower accident or something we could call it the Rexall curse - but this is just bad performance for an overpayment - maybe Lowe could have another temper tantrum and yell at Burke that would fix everything.

Last night was probably the 15th or so time this year I have quit watching an Oilers game halfway through the second period out of boredom. The team sucked last year, but at least it was fun to tune in down the stretch to see if they were going to score 6 or give up 6.

Dump your tickets if you are a season ticket holder - it is quite refreshing - the chains are broken and the freedom to think without the mind control is uplifting, just like in 1984. Go to hawaii, mexico, buy a golf membership, spend it on your wife, family and see the joy it can bring - rather than the ulcers you acquire with no control to change the outcome.

Other option is to work for the media, get an accredited pass, do not cheer, clap or make negative comments if you want to keep your access to the locker room - benefit is the free buffet - but then again it is Northlands food - not the San Manuel Buffet at Staples for $29USD

Ya and did anyone hear kuoli on HHT talking about the MIGHTY OIL after the game....Playoff game in febuary at home and thats all they can muster? He just kept saying that I'm very worried about this team. I'M NOT. I'VE LONG AGO REALIZED. THERE IS ZERO CHEMISTRY, LITTLE HEART. If I'm Tambo or K(crazy)lo the only untouchables are hemmer and souray....get what we can for the rest, dump dumb contracts.

The end is near . . .

One of the common threads coming from Deep Oil and W.T.; streetcorner prophets shouting doom and gloom to all who will hear, with dire warnings to make Katz talk and burn Allan Watt (whoever the hell he is) at the stake before all our eternal souls are damned forever.

I for one am so very relieved to have these wise counsellors to show me what's really going on behind the scenes. Now, I know what I have to do. It's all so clear; thank you, Deep Oil and W.T. for showing me the path. Now, where's my gun . . . ?

Wow - I am so Impressed I took the time & money out of my wallet to watch that 'hockey game'. The only highlite of the night was watching 6 chicks & 2 dudes going to box 511...the one chick was wearing what appeared to be a skirt, it was pretty short though. Man I wonder if they had a stripper pole in box 511 last night...

Terrible effort in a must win game. I don't know what they can do to fix it - but it has to be fixxed. Trade or the coach has to go. Not just 1 or 2 people trade, an earth shattering team changing trade. When you send Pisani(who hasn't played in 3 months), Moreau (who just cost you 2 minutes of even strength), Reddox & Stortini out in the last 2 minutes down by a goal it sort of says something 'bout your top 6 players.

Fact is we have the third oldest building in the league, with NYI moving to KS and PITT imploding MELLON - we have the oldest barn.... put up or shut up - KATZ, CITY, PROVINCE, FEDS, SEASON TICKET HOLDERS..... I will just visit the art gallery and museum where there was no plebicite, debate or location committee when they spent $15mm and $150mm respectively without your flipping input.

Bad Team, Bad Coach, Bad Manager = Divorce I gave my separation papers last year by cancelling my tickets - you sheep can flock all you want with this pharmeceutical circus.

The only way you can have a stripper pole at Rexall is to call it a dance pole - and the strippers from Independent Artists are not strippers - their hosteses.

Funny story - I was at the Le Meridian in Los Angeles with Playboy Golf - it was lingerie night and all the models were coming back to the hotel around 1AM scantily clad - the bonus was there was a Bar Mitzvah going on and the 13 year old kids were blessed with these beaties in the front lobby - while the overly rich parents had hired las vegas comedian Carrot Top - for some reason the young boys were distracted for some time - what a way to celebrate manhood - give praise.

And I love the implication that those of us remaining fans of the team can only be a mindless sheep. Nice touch.

Katz' community will not like that comment.

Yes, deep oil and his conspiracy theories and thread hijackings are getting old, him and his long lost brother WT need to bugger off for a while.

I guess it takes driving from Calgary to Edmonton to witness the worst game in the history of hockey to coax me out of lurker status.

Holy s*#t. What was that last night? Is it too much to ask that a mediocre hockey team at least show a little effort? I mean, it took effort for me to get to the game last night, the least they could do it put a little effort into the game.

The thing that pissed me off the most was listening to the post game comments of Moreau and MacT. Do either of these guys have a pulse? 'We can't get too down on ourselves at this time of the year'...'We will just come out and play better next game'. Give me an f'ing break, Ethan. How about telling it like it is to the press...and to your fans. Why can't you simply say that we layed an egg out there and that you are pissed and there is no excuse? I'm sure everyone in the nation would at least respect and answer like that rather than the crap you spewed.

MacT's comments were just as bad...they played bigger and stronger than us? How about they showed up and we didn't.

I want my money back.
