lols the Caps failed to score on a 9 minute powerplay :D

Haha nice.

 

I am enjoying some rants from Canuck fans that they have opened the season 9-3 (because of their preseason).

9 minute powerplay?!

9 minute powerplay?!

 

 

It came after a big (I guess most would say clean) hit by some guy named Sloan (don't know of him) on Daymond Langkow; Rene Bourque got kinda pissed and jumped Sloan in retaliation. Got a 5 minute major for fighting (no fighting major for the Caps player) 2 minutes for instigating and 2 minutes for unsportsmanlike conduct (I think he said something to the ref) which were counted as penalties to be served (he also took a personal 10 minute misconduct).

 

The powerplay execution was so bad, that through the halfway mark of it, I was hoping the Caps wouldn't score. It's not as if the Flames were amazing penalty killers either, just such a fail.

 

Technically, 7 minutes into the powerplay, the Caps took a penalty themselves (they deserved it, there were a lot of kinda questionable make-up calls for the flames after that one though), but still...

 

Oh, the Flames just won.

Hawks blank the butt-Oilers

Don't get too high and mighty. Last night was more of the Oilers beating themselves, moreso than the Blackhawks.

Yeah, sure, I mean they totally would have won had they simply scored more goals than the Hawks

Actually Edmonton hasn't played a complete sixty minute game yet this season. There's been a period or two where they look like the real deal, but for the most part the chemistry on the forward lines has been shaky at best.

 

To be completely honest, the Oilers barely deserved most of their four wins so far.

Well, the Hawks have played well for the most part this year, but have really lacked killer instinct and have shown zero aggressiveness after getting leads. They're young and haven't really learned how to win on the big stage, but I was hoping things would turn around sooner rather then later. Hawks fans probably are thinking last night might be the beginning of things changing, but like you said, the Oilers are a totally gay bunch of hosers who don't even belong in Disney on Ice's Highschool Musical II and there should be no pride in beating those disgustingly pathetic mouth breathers

Only Montreal, Boston and Minnesota have yet to lose in regulation. Buffalo plays Minnesota tonight, so hopefully that situation will change. Montreal doesn't play again till Saturday when they host Anaheim.

Buffalo plays Minnesota tonight, so hopefully that situation will change.

And of course Buffalo doesn't pull out the win until OT so both teams are still unbeaten in regulation.

Oilers need to pick it up.

Woo.. Second Leaf win of the season.. I'm so excited.. zzz.

They looked good for the first ten minutes of period 2. After colorado tied the game, however...

Woo, third win of the season! I wouldn't care unless there had been rumours flying around that Sundin has been very impressed with the young Leafs and the way the coach has them playing hockey! They're saying he's off to somewhere to get himself in shape and then perhaps rejoin the Leafs! That would be awesome. Right now they lack heart, leadership and someone who can score a bunch. Go Sundin!

Its too bad Eric Cole got ejected from last nights game. Its amazing how much better he can play when on his natural wing.

I watched the Minn/Chicago game a few nights back, I have to say, Minnesota looks really good. I wasn't expecting them to be much this year but in fairness they didn't miss the playoffs by that much last year.

I'm really glad I didn't shell out the 14 bucks for the oilers ppv yesterday. My team is really struggling:(

Montreal managed to shut out Minnesota on 10 powerplay chances, including almost 4 minutes of 5 on 3 time in order to get the 2-1 win.

They make you pay to watch hockey games? Wow, in the US, they are a step away from paying people to watch.

Games that aren't picked up by TV stations become pay per view games. On the plus side, I am pretty sure every single Oiler game is available on television.

I'm pretty sure that you're right about that, Alan. Plus we had a few preseason games televised as well.

 

I'm not sure about ordering Oiler PPVs anymore. Too much Gene Principe and not enough production value for my liking.

Yeah I usually go out with some friends to a bar to watch them.

Wow, the Oilers beat Carolina today! But it sounds like we lost Grebeshkov in the process.

5 goal third period to beat the Rangers. The Leafs aren't quite as sucky as expected. Yet.
