Here come the oilers =)
Ya had a decent NHL scheduling gifted week playing 2 teams on back to backs did ya? Cuz ya lost 4 of 5 before that right? Ooohh here they come. *slow golf clap* Congratulations lol Coilers ?
Did you see the game last night? That’s how we need to protect our stars in Calgary and that doesn’t happen here.
That’s what we need more of in Calgary!!
You mean the way no Oiler made Tkachuk pay all year long for putting Davidson on the shelf for who knows how long? Yeah that was something alright.
I guess Davidson isn’t a star though so no one really bothered eh?
Why didn’t Maroon do anything in Philly when McDavid got hurt? Wasn’t till McDavid cried about no one sticking up for him that 2 meetings later Maroon finally did something. Had to get shamed into it.
Your such an A$$hat as far as not addressing Manning in Philly. Maybe you should go back and watch the game Kassian was all over him but he wouldn’t go.
Go back and tend to your sheep.
We aren’t sneaking into the playoffs like Calgary did a few years ago. The Oilers have been in the top ten all year little buddy!
You still trying to spout crap…we swept you idiot!! Plus your far behind us in the standings and your star players suck. Go back into your hole Arminuass
What? You want me to go back in your hole Busty?
You’re even more disturbed than I thought. Homie don’t play that
Head on down to Mama’s Gin Joint if that’s your game
Learn to talk Soccer troll!! Your hip gangster wannabe dialogue is hurting!!
Seems to me you lost to the Devils the night after they played the Oilers.
Wake up and smell the coffee.
As we wait for deals to be made at the trade deadline one can only speculate as to what are favorite team will look like come March 1. Will the Flames address our glaring needs? Will the Oilers find a back up goalie and address their needs if they want to try and make a push in the playoffs? The team I think that could make a big splash is Anahiem; with their depth on D and their need for some more talent upfront they well could add a high end forward and if that happens they could be very hard to handle.
Also see the Leafs have made some cap space available; are they going to try and make a big push?
Personally I can’t wait for some of the Dominoes to fall.
I wish the Oilers would have played LB more so we would know what we have.
