No no you don't get it. It's just "confusing" to understand for other people.

 

[fancy dan]

maybe you don't know anything about hockey ?

I'm not miserable at all though, that is what is hilarious to me. How could you be miserable with how good this team has been the last 5 years? We missed winning the cup by 2 goals last year, it was a wildly successful year that you'd be an idiot to not have enjoyed. I just don't buy into the idea of "blind fandom", if I think a certain thing, whether its for/against my team, I say it. I get that this isn't the normal behavior for FANatics, so its confusing to many people. It's just a am with everything in life, I look at things for what they are, rather than what I wish them to be. Most people do this in life, but make exceptions for sports. I do this same exception as well, just not as much as others I've noticed. I know people are are cold and calculated in work life, but are 140% homers in sports, as example.

I thought we'd lose by a lot against LA as an example, cause I thought our players were too injured and our tending too poor. They turned it around in both regards, although Ekholm being out still really hurt. I actually feel more confident about the Vegas series, although we'll still need a lot of tending luck to get past them. But with Kane and Frederic both looking like they are largely past their injuries, that completely changes the dynamic of our forwards. Klingberg all of a sudden being competent has been a strange surprise as well, that helps offset the loss of Ekholm. I'd still say we were the underdogs against Vegas, but I could see us beating them.

Anyway, this is injury thread, not a "what does JD think about the world thread", lol, so I'll shut up now.

You're alot different than just being the opposite of a FANatic.

You pretty much post the worst possible scenario anytime.

McDavid could get a paper cut and you'd think he would have to retire.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

 

[Lay Z Boy GM]

is there any word on Ekholm recently? With Pickard out I sure wish we had Ekholm to bolster the defense and limit the dangerous chances.

Nope

At least I can save some time by not watching Game 4. Auto loss with Skinner between the pipes.

Day to day is Oilerspeak for week to week.

Yup I will record it and watch after now. So I can just fast forward when we inevitability are down by 2 goals 10 minutes into the game. Waste of time watching games with skinner in net

 

[Shizuka]

Well they certainly aren't going to win without a goalie, any of Pickard replacements, making a crucial save at the needed time. Sure as hell is not Skinner, and it goes to show the dearth of organizational depth and sheer incompetence of the bush league front office that we're bringing up the likes of Delia.

 

[North]

Might as well play Rodrigue because Skinner is just mentally broken at this point. His head is not in the game at all.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.......

 

[Bryanbryoil]

He should've been with the big club already. He finished the season better than Rodrigue. Another stupid goaltending decision. If he is healthy, fit and in game shape I would have him as our back-up and have Stu on a VERY short leash.

When is Pickard's amputation scheduled for?

[McJadeddog]

I guess that "s" in weeks is doing a lot of work. It could technically mean 2 weeks or 8 weeks, and still be correct.

 

[MessierThanThou]

Hopefully it's right now so they can give him a peg and put him in net tonight.

Consider that Day to Day in Oilerspeak is Week to Week, so Weeks is either several months or in a body cast and breathing through a tube.

Curious if Ekholm will require offseason surgery no matter what.

Curious if Ekholm will require offseason surgery no matter what.

My completely uneducated guess is yes. A core injury, if that is what it is, that takes this long and is this debilitating generally ends up in surgery.

 

[Stealth1616]

I’m worried Ekholm gets rushed back.

He seemed to get rushed back the first time and instantly hurt himself
