Aww sh**. Bouch is out.

Media guys say this every year, and usually nothing happens.

In small defense of them, it's probably true and I don't thing organizations like trading guys close to Xmas.

They would have called someone up. We only have 5 dmen if bouch is out

They can still active Regula off IR tomorrow to save Cap today and he can still skate with the team.

Or it is just pre-caution I guess. Game is at 2Pm tomorrow too

Don't we have Spaghetti Ragula here? I bet he plays bottom pair

That was among the most telegraphed bad contracts I can ever remember.

No idea how a bunch of hockey people can sit in a room and think that deal was a good idea. A consortium of 4-5 completely random fans on this forum would probably have better judgement.

Lol right?

I wonder how well something like twitch plays NHL gm would do.

He needs to be conditioned and get back to game shape (at least that's what stauffer said last night).

If Regula is playing tomorrow, Bouchard is legitimately hurt.

 

[Oilhawks]

Nope I'm 100% sure that he is a clown and a joke. I know you hang off his every word because that interests you for some reason. Guy gives 100 rumours and maybe 1-2 are correct and actually happen. He is a tabloid-level journalist, gossip columnist. He may as well be dishing on celebrity couples. His job is a joke and I do not respect the man. Embarrassing profession.

All that and he's a Leaf blower and Flames lover to boot. Just gross

Sucks for us but Regula couldn't ask for a much better first game though if that's the case. He's got some nice hands and would probably get some looks on the PP that he wouldn't if Bouch were healthy.

Aside from Gazdic and Bieksa, I don't think anybody else on the panel ever really cheers for the Oilers, especially that jackass in Ron MacLean. I remember how much of a whiny bitch he was going on a tantrum after the post game after we knocked out the flames because he didn't think Coleman's kicking the goal was the right call. Yet when Makar was offside in the Avs series, he had nothing to complain about. Every time I see that clown, he just seems more happy whenever we're losing.

I hated Bieksa as a canuck, but I've been a fan of him on the panel. Doesn't show any bias either. Can't say the same thing about flames dick swallower in Hrudey though.

I had no idea Wahlstrom busted. I really struggle to follow that team. lol

The Islanders really are a failed franchise. From a storied history in the 80s to just utter mediocrity and irrelevance. I know me personally, i never think of them and forget about them frequently.

Gleason, Hoffenmeyer, Dermott out.

We are tin, tin, tin, tin on the left side.

with Dermott gone we are accruing cap space again with Regula who started the season on the LTIR.

 

[Zerotonine]

Aww sh**. Bouch is out.

Wouldn't be surprised if it's at minimum dislocated shoulder. Dunno the reviver time but I assume weeks not days

what you think rumours are?

Gms talk all the time and he reports it.

Everytime Gms talk doesn't mean a trade is happening or will

I also im not aware of trades he said would happen that didn't. as in he isn't reporting false info. I mean its sports journalism, what else is he supposed to be doing?

Don't forget the Buffalo Sabres. Kevyn Adams making excuses like 'palm trees' on why players don't view Buffalo as a destination to play in is quite a take. More so of a bad excuse. I feel for their fans. Deserve way better than a shit owner in Terry Pegula. Also I like how you and @PositiveCashFlow are right above and under each other and both have DP's of Shitberg watching the puck go in his own team's net lol.

yeah but Buffalo was never relevant. They had one great season in 1999. They've largely stunk their entire history.

Also yeah, i got pretty tired of theBroberg talk around here and the spilled milk crying around here. So the disaster of a game he played against was was just the icing on the cake and i wanted to memorialize it.

Rishaug - Good news

"Game time decision tomorrow for Bouchard."

They're both pretty awful in their own ways. f***, even looking at how miserable the islander players look in their pictures is sad to see.
Barzal went from smiling in his rookie year to...

Sounds like Parssinen is on the outs with Trotz.
Could be a good, cheap reclamation project and replacement for Ryan.

Pretty interesting player actually. 775K on the Cap, we'd save on Ryan's cap. Good size at 6'3". Drives the net. Has some skill. History of production. Young. Would be hungry. Current value in the dumps. Maybe iffy skating.

I really like and appreciate what Ryan has brought here the last couple of years. He's a smart and honest player with a decent amount of skill. And I think Knob likes his vet reliability. He's kind of earned a chance to go for a Cup with this Core. The Organization really likes Ryan too, with the 2 year extension.

Logically and if we managed with a cut throat attitude we'd probably choose Parssinen over Ryan if the option was available. If the Oilers made this move I wouldn't mind it, but I'd feel bad for Ryan.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

This is Knoblauch.

"Question - Status of Evan Bouchard

Knoblauch - Obviously he didn't skate today, he'll get evaluated tomorrow and will be a game time decision"

Not the end of the world.

Barzal also went from a great player in his rookie year to a meh player.

at least the NYI have a dynasty and 4 cups. Buffalo doesn't have anything but the memory of Dominic Hasek. SO the fall of the NYI is more interesting to me than the depression that surrounds the Sabres.

Doesn't help when NYI has a bad GM also haha. Not allowed to use social media and must be clean shaven of facial hair or I get mad in Oompa Loompa Lou. I tried watching an isles game and get bored of how they play. Reminds me of the DOD Oilers without any excitement that at least we had with RNH/Hall/Eberle etc.

It's funny how broken up we were over the Barzal and Zegras misses. Now both are downtrending to just good or in the case of Zegras, horrible and a huge douchebag with character issues.
