Delta Truth Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 Wow those Maple Leafs are on a roll And Kipper leads the Flames to Victory for Edmonton !! I guess the Flames like playing against Edmonton ,hopefully this is the start of good things too come, however Iginla still needs to play way better if Calgary is gonna go anywhere
Kor Qel Droma Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 I missed every hockey game tonight. But it looks like I made a killing in my pool as well, so maybe its karma. I can't really comment about Calgary and Edmonton, but I do know that Iginla is a notoriously slow starter. He doesn't start shooting the puck until at least game ten or so. Then it takes him another month to wake up. Then the four point nights start coming. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
alanschu Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 You missed the Oilers outplaying Calgary for the first 30 minutes, sleeping for 2 minutes (which resulted in two goals) and then phoning in the rest of the game
Kor Qel Droma Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 so if there is a replay on sportsnet tomorrow I should just tape the first half of it? Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
Oerwinde Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 Neat, Vancouver is now the top team in the league. Wonder if they can keep it up. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.
mkreku Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 http://www.torontosun.com/Sports/Hockey/20...270635-sun.html Just a quick update on Sundin's eye. It's very positive, and it's only gone two weeks. Still.. I had reckoned he'd be back by now. I've never had an eye injury myself though, so I know nothing about them. Just feels.. weird, to be able to play with a broken ankle and a broken wrist after just a few days and then be gone for 2+ weeks for a puck to the eye.

alanschu Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 Were they actually "broken" ankles and wrists? In any case, you can brace the crap out of them like a bunch of crazy mofos to the point where you're not really putting any weight on them. Blurry vision though is blurry vision.
Darth_Schmarth Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 It can be a good thing to face the Avalanche immediately. We've had a couple of dodgy results, so a win the night after the Flames loss could make us bounce back. ^Asinus asinorum in saecula saeculorum
mkreku Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 Were they actually "broken" ankles and wrists? Probably not. I just remember him coming back to play a lot quicker than anyone would have expected. Once during the regular season (foot) and once in the playoffs (wrist, they pumped him full of painkillers.. he could barely shoot at all).

Kor Qel Droma Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 You know, I just finished watching last nights highlights. As impressive as Jagr was, I would have to say the player of the night was Vinny Lecavalier. The last goal he scored to put TB up 6-0 was absolutely brilliant. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
alanschu Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 I remember players like Chelios playing throughout the playoffs with a broken ankle. I think with braces (and even skate technology), finding ways to take weight off the ankle is probably not THAT hard of a thing to do. I'm going to the Colorado game tonight, so if you see any bizarro things that Aebischer does in net, it's because I'm manipulating him with the force. And when Ales Hemsky lays out Rob Blake, it's because I put a Force Shield on him.... <sigh>....If only I were a jedi...
Kor Qel Droma Posted October 22, 2005 Posted October 22, 2005 I read in the Sun today that Ryan Smyth looks to be just about ready to come back. The Oil could use all the help it can get right now. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
mkreku Posted October 22, 2005 Posted October 22, 2005 I'm glad I'm not an Oilers fan after the first two periods.. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
Deraldin Posted October 22, 2005 Posted October 22, 2005 I'm glad I'm not an Oilers fan after the first two periods.. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's just painful.
alanschu Posted October 22, 2005 Posted October 22, 2005 So uh.......some good things happened. Rita obliterated some guy with an open ice check. Laraque smashed the crap out of Brad May (who earlier tried to take on Rita for his hit). We didn't get shut out. It's still only counts as 1 loss.
Delta Truth Posted October 22, 2005 Posted October 22, 2005 Well it seems it tough being a fan of either team in Alberta but its so early in the season I'm sure Calgary and Edmonton will be neck and neck battling for a play off spot I would be surprised if Minnesota can kept playing so darn well
Kor Qel Droma Posted October 22, 2005 Posted October 22, 2005 I love the Oilers. There may be other teams I'll cheer for during a season ( Tampa Bay all the way was my slogan in 03/04) but it's really getting hard, you know? Everyone has a theory about what their team should do, but I think its time for Edmonton to get rid of their coaching staff. Craig MacTavish was the last player to not wear a helmet, and the way he just stands on the bench shows that. Charlie Huddy we should keep. For no reason other than he's Charlie Huddy. Craig Simpson should go back to being a sportscaster. Of course if they win their next game I'll gladly eat crow, but who knows when the next victory for the Oilers is going to come... Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
Delta Truth Posted October 22, 2005 Posted October 22, 2005 If you ever look at the forums at sportsnet , well especially after tonights loss seems everyone wants to kick Mactavish to the curb, I just think its too early to make a coaching change a team should play like 20 games to have a better evaluation of how the club is doing!! Perhaps they should get a physiatrist and tell Hemsky to shot alot he's got the tools but hasn't shown anything Oilers will have to address there goalie situation cause the duo of Markaneen and Conklin ain't gonna work(well Conklin hasn't shown any improvement) you will see goal tending is important just like Kipper has started to get back into form that strong goal tending will be needed from Edmonton to get them back on track... But its to early to panick Edmonton fans
Kor Qel Droma Posted October 22, 2005 Posted October 22, 2005 Ooh, Delta. Try the 'edit' button down on the right hand side of the screen. I could rip about a Flames fan being a double poster, but its late. How many years have the Oilers made the playoffs with MacTavish as coach? I don't mind losing in the first round to Dallas. Because for the most part its pretty gritty hockey. But if the team can't make it to the playoffs , well then there is a problem. The season is early, this I know, but at the same point how long do you have to wait before a major change is made? Its not like the Oilers can ship out Cross and Laraque for Alex Tanguay, now can they? I can't really rip on my own team anymore. Its not like I'm going to stop cheering or watching. Win or lose, I'm an Oiler fan for life. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
mkreku Posted October 22, 2005 Posted October 22, 2005 What's worse? Six straight losses or getting your captain injured seven minutes into the season opener? The Oilers will turn this around. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
mkreku Posted October 22, 2005 Posted October 22, 2005 http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/ContentSe...93064&t=TS_Home Theoren Fleury is back.. sort of Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
Deraldin Posted October 22, 2005 Posted October 22, 2005 What's worse? Six straight losses or getting your captain injured seven minutes into the season opener? The Oilers will turn this around. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'd say six straight losses consider what the leafs have managed to get down without Sundin. "
mkreku Posted October 22, 2005 Posted October 22, 2005 I'd say six straight losses consider what the leafs have managed to get down without Sundin. " <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, they started the season with three losses in a row. But you're right, they've been playing like hockey gods (almost) these last four contests. Lindros and Steen have been totally outstanding, and even Aki Berk is getting some praise. That doesn't happen every day, trust me. Still.. I think the Leafs would be even better than they are now with Sundin in the lineup. He's the clutch player (second after Claude Lemieux, but he's retired), and I think some of these overtime games wouldn't have gone to overtime with Sundin playing. Also, he's definitely an offensive force to be reckoned with and I have a hard time seeing the Leafs losing twice to Ottawa if Sundin had been there.

Volourn Posted October 22, 2005 Posted October 22, 2005 Sundin's THE clutch player? Interesting then he seems to be lacking in the Cup department. Go figure. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
mkreku Posted October 22, 2005 Posted October 22, 2005 Sundin's THE clutch player? Interesting then he seems to be lacking in the Cup department. Go figure. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yup. Sundin is not a team, he is a player. It takes a team to win a cup. So.. can you name one player that has scored more game winning goals or sudden death goals than Sundin in the last 5-6 years?
