He played 21 mins. About average for star players. Is it difficult to be this miserable or does it come naturally?
Lol, you must have me confused with someone else.

why are you even here if a simple comment causes you to get your panties in a bunch

Amazing how Mike Smith has looked so amazing with a new coach, those two games with Tippet were literally a week ago

Mclellan, ever the idiot, beat himself. Its doughty's 1000 game ceremony, its an important 4pt game, really a playoff game. But the doofus coach starts Peterson instead of a HOF goalie that has played his whole career with Doughty. I couldn't believe it.

As if to put an exclamation mark on what kind of idiot McLellan is Petersons brutal puck handling creates the winning goal for the Oilers on an otherwise harmless play. Peterson is bad with the puck. But he keeps trying shit like this.

But try, anybody, to explain why Quick didn't get this game. Imagine McLellan having to explain to quick again after this debacle why he didn't get the start.

Peterson got the start tonight because him and Quick usually rotate. One game on, one game off, one game on, one game off etc.

Lol bud why are you trying so hard to get us down on the Oilers?

I'm not really understanding this post.

I view games differently than some do. This was not a well played game by the Oilers. We won despite being outplayed and because Peterson made a stupid play on the winning goal.

This was a game the Oilers had to have that went down the wire and could have gone either way. I'm just not buying the "wow this team is playing so great" narrative in post game when people were saying anything but DURING the game. get it?

Quesnel, B.C.
Imagine that, after acting like Mr. tough guy to Bouchard, he got his ass dropped when he decided to continue to chirp and did so with the wrong f***ing guy. I maybe mistaken but it looks like in the last frame where Nurse comes in he's like "ooooohhhh he got wrecked!" :lol:

The team no longer plays like a bunch of reactionary p***yes. We are out there outworking teams, not taking any shit and making life hard on the other teams. I'm f***ing loving this shit!
I’m loving longshoreman style, potty mouthed, take no prisoners, get off my lawn @Bryanbryoil.

The oilers weren’t outplayed, it was a very even game

Jheez, all for having Woodcroft and getting rid of Tippett but name calling him like that kind of far tbh.

I know you probably didn’t mean anything by it but I feel bad for the guy.

I'm not the only one calling him names...

Best goaltender on the ice for a couple consecutive. Smith finishes with a .938 GAA AND takes responsibility for the first goal against. Covid Koski waiting to get back. Skinner pitching a shutout against the Dog Sharks. Finally a healthy goaltending corp (but still hope they upgrade).

On to the next Oiler Alumni Coaching road game.

The Kings were off for two weeks. When you come back, you start your starter, your hof goalie. I mean I'm glad McLellan is stupid enough to see it differently. The Kings aren't paying Quick big bucks to sit him on his ass in the most important game of the season. But you gotta love Mcllellan doing us an unintented favor. Anyway you shake it was a stupid decision that ultimately cost the Kings the game.

Because the team has shown significant growth and improvement already in a very short time under Woodcroft.

Does anyone think we’d be in a tight game tonight if Tippett was still coach?

The Kings would have won easily, probably with a shutout too.

I Understand. I thought we played well except for the PP and a few mishaps in the D zone.
