The goal convinced me. Screw the AGLC and their so called 'dry days'.
Please do not feed the bears. Feeding the bears creates a dependent population unable to survive on their own. Bears.

If they play like they did against the Jets on Tuesday, I'll need something stronger than beer to get through this one.

Always whiskey or bourbon. Has got me through many a bad game in the last 15 years.
As I type this we have a rough GA.
Seems early for a refill but here we are.

If the rest of the night is going to be as bad as Koski's play on that goal against, I am thinking that nothing less than bleach will work. Stuff like that makes me want to forget that I was ever a fan of this damn team.

Hey, who could have predicted that a combo of Mike Smith and Mikko Koskinen wasn't the goaltending you needed to be a Stanley Cup contender?

Maybe the Oil should see if Sarah Nurse can play at D better than her currently-useless brother. At the very least, I'd rather see her face than his on the ice...

If you have two top-five point scorers in the NHL, it is unforgivable management if you aren't a playoff contender every year.

Same thing he can do with the D, figure out how to outscore the problem.

Yeah, his hands are tied there too, because he doesn't have the cap space to sign a forward who could actually play with Connor and push lesser players down the depth chart.

I hope Drai's shot there was in fact tipped, because otherwise he missed a wide-open gaping net....

Well, that goal can certainly be placed at Koski's feet off the piss-poor clearing attempt.
On a related note: earlier, Nurse's inability to make a basic backhand pass saw the Laffs go back the other way and keep the Drai line hemmed up in their own end for an entire shift. This Oil D has to get better. When is Bouchard expected to come back from the bad back...?

At this point they might as well put 5 forwards out there. It isnt like they are actually setting up shots from the blue line. When they do it is blocked almost every time.

I'm very close to this stage myself. The alcohol is helping a bit, though.

A quick question is it too early to start drinking at 4am?? I mean I got up early to watch this and I'm not quite sure why..
Though what I will say is that when you play well you get the lucky breaks, the jump of the puck seems to fall for you. This team isn't getting anything and I don't think we are that far away from being able to grab a top 4 spot, but we need to get playing and be consistent.
Take me home, country road
to the place where I belong
to Alberta, to see the Oilers

Great limp-wristed shot, Barrie. And another PP is completely wasted.

He's not the fix for a peewee team the way he's playing right now. By my count, he's given away the puck at least 5 times this period, including 3 times on that PP.

I don't understand what Larsson was doing on the Nylander's goal. He's in position and then decides to just abandon the front of the net leaving 2 Leafs standing there. To go where and do what exactly???
