    ...and I said I'd be here for my licks if we lose ....but now that the Flames are out, I don't think they should come from you :)

    And they wouldn't be coming from me if you guys weren't talking so much smack... :)

    In all seriousness, I am looking forward to the Oilers-Sharks series ... I think it'll be a good one. You hate the Flames, I hate the Oilers ... But I can still enjoy watching the games.

    Rockin': I won't deny that there are tons of bandwagon Flames fans ... Just like there are tons of bandwagon Oilers fans. Thanks for at least admitting that some people have followed the Flames for a long time. We have our diehards too. Of course we are quiet now, we are brooding because our team blew it, badly. I gotta say though, the Red Mile in 2004 kicked ass even after we got screwe ... I mean, lost. It was definitely smaller, but people still came out and had a good time.

    I think this about sums it up

    http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=165222&hubname=

    "The game wasn't as close as the score indicated. San Jose outshot Edmonton 30-16 and knocked the Oilers around the arena like a pinata at a child's birthday party."

    YOU CAN'T PLAY THE TRAP AGAINST A TEAM LIKE SAN JOSE! They break out of the zone very quickly and you won't even have time to get in position. AND MOVE THE PUCK GOD DAMMIT! San Jose doesn't give you time like Detroit did, move the puck fast and stop with the neutral zone turnovers, sheesh. Props to Rolie, that game could have gotten bad if he would have been bad. McTavish needs to figure something out fast, the Oil are far from out of it but need to change there gameplay, and maybe get big George Laraque back into the lineup because they were out-hit too.
    Which came first,
    the bad idea or me befallen by it?

    yah, holy shit that was a fast moving hard hitting game.. Edmonton came on strong.. but San Jose gave it to them in the 2nd period..wow, what an exciting game to watch tho.. and Im looking forward to tonight's game !
    yes and bring out George.. let him do what he does best..

    You're right....we need Georges in, and we need to hit more. Look for a better effort tonight. I think the Oilers were sitting back too much last night.


    and too long of a break from the last series.. then two back to back..

    OH! Can I call 'em or what folks! What's the word on Dvorak?

    Edit: Looks like Laroque is in because Dvorak is out. Not sure what to think about that, more grit, less speed... much less speed :D

    Awful effort by the Flames last night, geez that was bad...

    So no battle of Alberta to watch :( the oil did their part. SJ vs EDM should be a great series though, Rolie will have to remain in top form. The trap won't get it done against the Sharks though, they don't live for the kind of structure the Wings do, look for the Oilers to go back to the bang-crash forcheck they are known for. I'm looking for Torres to step up this series and Hemskey to continue his hot streak. Tarnstrom needs a kick in the ass though, I think he's still shaking off playing in PIT all year. If Rolie and Pronger can stop Thornton, Cheechoo and Marleau this could potentially be a quick series.

    it's going to be a quick series, and the Oilers will be watching the conference finals from home.

    How about keep your negativity to yourself or take it to your own thread. This is the Edmonton Oilers thread where we like to discuss and cheer on our Oilers!!! I just can't understand why you have to come in here and post your comments trying to bring us down......

    someone says it'll be a quick series, I agreed but from the opposing side, get over it.

    There's just no need for those negative comments in this thread, I'm just so tired of it.....in case you hadn't noticed this thread is full of Edmonton Oiler FANS. I just don't know why people feel the need to come in here and rain on our parade.
