johanson is a beast

Goaltending is their nemesis.

I've never seen a team worse at tightening up late in games. The Jackets are all over them and of course just scored.

Another excellent blog Michael. I agree that hockey is a team game and calling one player a "saviour" to fix any organization is probably creating expectations that won't be fulfilled. However, I agree with 89 and others - re: the last 2 - 3 years must be considered an epic failure unless we draft in the top 2. Call me selfish but I want what others have gotten over the years that turned around their teams - a true generational talent.

Go Oilers and Yotes Go.

1. Reinhart. If we don't get McEichel, we definitely need him.

2. Hall

3. ? Don't know who will be available.

Well for FA, I wouldn't mind us grabbing Mike Green for 4 years or less to boost up our abysmal PP.

sorry buffalo


we can still pull it out though

and the jackets tie it

I like Frolik or Soderberg (i know hes a natural centre but..) for one of the RW slots, even if its only temoporary

Goddammit

as in taylor.....

we wont be dealing him.

just for conversations sake, itd have to START with ristolainen.
so yeah, no trade to be made

Yes, when I typed that up I had meant to say of those who are speculated to be traded. Not saying he will be, but it's always worth a conversation.

Those would be some neat players to add. I have a feeling Winnipeg resigns Frolik but Soderberg may be the odd man out with the cap problems in Boston.

Well they have 1 point guaranteed at least.

That goaltender gotta go. He really stinks.

not to say hes untouchable. no one is on a bottom feeder.
but hes our literally our engine.

if everything goes right, nuge and nurse are our conerstones going forward, but until then, it would take a massive package to let hall go.
extremely unlikely

He just saved their ass twice in the 1st minute of OT.

he can be hero good and then a total sieve.

no consistency.

but the defence is terrible too. so bad.

21 year old klefbom is our number 1

Roy just missed a primo scoring chance.

Yeah I do like him a lot and could only imagine how well he could play under an elite center.

Shootout. No ROW either way. Meh. Hope they win but Scrivens isn't the guy I'd be betting on.

Both teams 0 for 2.

Oilers shoot for the win. Roy. Ha ha. Nope

apologies fellas


got a point anyway

Jackets win. Roy and Eberle both had a shot to win it and couldn't.
