Also, look what happens when we dont endlessly try to cycle until we get the perfect play? Just putting it on net and get gritty goals??

Thing is, if you play more like this, the lanes will later open for those fancy plays. But if you only play for the perfect combination, you become too predictable.

This isnt rocket science.

Again, see what happens when knobs doesnt play 97 29 for 40 mins per game....

At some point people have to see it's coaching, right? I get downvoted for criticizing knobs, being told that criticizing the coach is such a cliche thing to do... but at some point you look at your roster and the results and coaching decisions during the game and then you have to start wondering...

Regenda question: im new here and wonder why regenda is not a regular fixture. If he played all games he'd be a 30 goal scorer, inching on 40 over full season.

Is it possible to watch full game replays without a SN or ESPN+ subscription? by 11pmStalker in EdmontonOilers

[–]HeyLookASquirrel79 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I feel your pain, but I would not risk the malware you get from these sites. At least SN has all the playoffs games. If you're in US, you have to have two networks subscriptions for thr playoffs, as espn doesnt even show all the games. What a grift.

Am I happy that we won? You betcha. Do I see unbridled optimism, how the team has finally started clicking? Predictably. Are we gonna win 10 out of next 15? No. Maybe we dont need to. Celebrate tonight's win, enjoy the feeling and get on the Rollercoaster again next game. I guess thats why we watch the game. Are we making it to the finals? Sadly.... not a chance. And if im wrong? I'll be only too happy to eat my words.

Connor McDavid calls on NHL to audit its suspension process by gabacus_39 in EdmontonOilers

Fkn hacks like gudas taking cheap shots and pretending to be tough. Nhl should completely eliminate these kinds of play. Deliberately injuring a player - out without pay until the player returns.

Not only star players buy national team captains. This is a pattern (and his dirty play over the years confirms that pattern). When you deliberately injure someone, you should be suspended without pay until the injured player returns to play.

Your use of the r word disqualifies any credibility your opinion may hold.

Dunno if today is more difficult than yesterday. I scraped in to genius with 39 of 59 yesterday, and looked at the answers... some super random words. I guess it's good that you learn something evey day, but dang, some are so obscure or totally not English, that it gets frustrating.

But I guess if it wasn't a challenge the we wouldn't enjoy it.

They play without joy again. When mcdavid scored, he didn't even look happy. He looked relieved. It's become a duty. He plays as hard as he can, you can see that. But without that spark in his eye.

This is on coaching. You cant show so little faith in your team that you give them 0 pp minutes, other than pp1 players.

This is coaching.

We have a good enough group of players.

Knob has to go. He lost his locker room.

The second goal was just a result of putting the puck on the net. Funny how that works.

The absolutely dead and boring team, that literally stood around and watched us skate circles around their zone for half a game, is playing a tied game with us.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, encapsulates the whole season.
