[Starbuds]

Hall and Eberle. But Eakins seems to like using the blender.

 

[Broomout]

Usually Hall and Eberle.

Tyvm good luck vs NJ!

 

[troubadour*]

^^ Should be episode 6 not 3. Great job otherwise.

 

[troubadour*]

You should photoshop Hall as Yoda and Smyth as Palpatine

I changed it because it's game #3 tomorrow, but good eye

There are only 3 star wars movies.

 

[Starbuds]

And here I thought it was a movie poster from the eighties that says the wrong episode number to not confuse casual movie goers. I had a "Oilers management would like you" jab ready and everything.

There are six.

Revenge of the Sith wasn't nearly as bad as episode 1 and 2 were.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

There are six.

I think he's discrediting the prologue trilogy.

 

[Tarus]

Revenge of the Sith wasn't nearly as bad as episode 1 and 2 were.

Sure, if you like unintended comedies.

The dialogue, characters, and story arcs were all as laughably bad as the first two prequel movies.

 

[The Nuge]

There are six.

Nope. There's 3

Oilers have now won just 3 of their last 14 regular season games if you go back to their craptacular finish from last season.

Maybe that's not all that relevant because of all the changes in the org since that time... new GM, coach, piles of new players... yet the crappy inconsistent results are still ongoing.

Oh ya... on topic.. the crap likely continues with another loss vs NJ. We are now all hoping that Labarbera can be this team's saviour... that's not a happy place to be.

 

[Hockey Nightmare]

Well that's not really inconsistent, but rather consistently bad lol.

 

[EchoesoftheEighties]

I liked the prequels

Revenge of the Sith was awesome stop hating. They better not **** up 7 8 and 9

 

[ehhteen]

Gretzky's backkk. Oooohhh yeeeaaaahhhh.

 

[Mowzie]

We're essentially getting back our top center and our top LW, considering how poorly Hall was at center. Hopefully that lines familiarity with each other helps them get going without looking too rusty.

What do you expect when we start the rebuild new with a different coach every year, which is why this team with all this talent can look so bad they have learned 4 different systems .And cant apply anyone.

Whatever nuge is he was great 2 way even with a bad shoulder he is exactly what we need to settle this ship a tad.

The prequels were my childhood, so I like them. I could understand why somebody who grew up with the originals would think otherwise, but honestly, the prequels are really good movies too, just very different from the originals.

 

[The Bored Man]

Revenge of the Sith was great.

Phantom Menace was a snoozefest until the end.

Attack of the Clones was a steaming turd. Not even by Star Wars standards, it was just a flat out awful movie.

 

[McSaviour]

We have never seen nuge play with a good shoulder as it has been a nagging injury since jr. I really hope it doesn't take him long to get back in the groove

One thing I've noticed-whenever one of those net front scrums happened, new guys (Gordon, Ference, Perron, Gazdic, Belov and even Arco a few times) were right in the thick of things while most of the guys who've been here for a bit (Hall, Eberle, Schultz, etc.) had no pushback when push came to shove. I know they're not fighters, and I was glad to see them hitting when they got frustrated vs Vancouver, but they need to become a bit tougher.
Nothing bad is gonna happen if you give a guy a facewash if he sprays your goalie, or if you grab a guy and headlock him in a scrum. Hall and Eberle are part of this team's leadership, and they need to show a little more grit in sticking up for their teammates post whistle. Hall seems to have lost a lot of the fiery pushback he had in him in his rookie year. These guys have mastered putting up points. They haven't mastered being a full professional yet.
