Tie game, 1 min left, Kris Russell panicks and shoots in his own net

[Pizza the Hutt]

Russell is just taking a cue from Chiarelli.

 

[Pookie]

I say this with a raised eyebrow, if this is Oilers Hockey, has anyone validated how many of McDavid's goals were scored on the opponent's goal?

They say you can get away with a lot when no one is watching

Might be worth a look see.

Cringe humour attempt

To say the least..

Trying a little too hard.

Russell's OG was bad, but McLellan sending out the 4th line instead of McDavid's line in a 4-4 game with 1 minute left is arguably just as bad if not worse.

Poor Russell. Just when the Oilers were starting to come around. Hopefully this doesn't set them back again.

GG does the same thing... It's so annoying.

It's official, the Oilers are getting Dahlin.

Playing obscene for Da-Lean

Kadri wasn't taunting him...he was just surprised. Here's the whole sequence of events.

Watching the Leafs players struggling to not laugh was awesome.

 

[Voodoo Child]

I'll take the 2 points and I feel bad for the guy and all but for real...don't be willy nilly and careless with the puck in front of your own net.

That's like Atom hockey level stuff there.

Wasn't it in this game or last game where he scored a nice goal? When I saw that I thought wow Russell is coming into his own. And then this happens.

Russell has always been a clutch player.

 

[socko]

I remember there was talk about Russell joining the Leafs... maybe he forget that he signed with Edmonton?

I've seen that line out with 2 minutes left more than I'd like to have ever seen.

I know you're joking, but in that game you are actually right. He was the one that tied the game just before this. Although if anti-clutch is a thing then I guess he's even for the night lol

It was kind of a joke. Russell can actually be a really clutch player. In this case, it was just a joke about how he scored the game winner. Worked on two levels basically.

I was a little off, I'm referring to more of 5 minutes left in the game. Regardless, he plays our bottom 6 a little more than the usual, especially when your down a goal.

 

[EastonBlues22]

As if weirder things haven't happened in Edmonton before. Hockey gods are at it again, just evening things out.

Bergevin once threw it into his own net in a playoff game against the Sharks.

 

[Benedict Kovalchuk]

Is this, dare I say it, the goal of the year?

 

[BlackDogg]

Nice to see them not hitting the post for once.

Butt hurt TM.

Somewhere there's actually an NHL Coaching Flow Chart that starts at "Player scores on own net to cost team game late" and ends at "Blame nerds"
