GDT: Game #82: Oilers @ Sharks - 8:30 PM - SNW/SN1

I this the slowest GDT of all time? It just may be...
Its what its like lately. On the weekend there was no GDT until an hour before game. Posting drastically declined on HFOilers. Most other teams too. Theres hardly even OOT trolls anymore.

8:45 start time tonight probably. Ridiculous in mid week for those working.
 
Yes, Knoblauch confirmed it earlier today. A bit concerning how this supposedly "short-term" injury has dragged on for so long and how Knoblauch has continually revised his timeline, stretching it longer and longer each time. At this point, who knows when or if he'll participate in the playoffs. Even if he does, he's likely compromised like he was in the final last year.
Who knows? Could be that he’s out long term, perfectly healthy or somewhere in between which I suppose is the point of the nonsense we’ve heard from Knoblach regarding injuries the last 6 weeks. The league is out of control with this stuff now. This has been the worst final month of the season we’ve ever seen through out the entire league in terms of player health and availability. Years past it was just the final game or two where some teams would rest a player or two. This year it started at the trade deadline. It’s almost as bad as the NBA is now. You don’t know who is in the lineup on any given night. Why would anybody spend a fortune on tickets anymore when the league is allowing this crap?

I could love this post 5 times. yeah. Months of meaningless season and teams tanking and teams selling at TDL. Really it seemed like most was established by 4NationsCup so its been ages. Been very few games that are heavily contested by both clubs. Hard to know what teams are even made of because so many games one team just isn't bringing. Sometimes both.

Tactically I approve of what the Oilers are doing giving stars as many games off as possible but to expect people to pay premium price for debacle games like Against the Kings. Thats nuts. That was a worse than WHA lineup we dressed.
