    eh, it isn't so late in Alberta(later here in PEI) but true most of them have probably gone to bed or to drown their sorrows. If I was there I would be drowning my sorrows for sure.

    See prljamgirl is around. *waves hello*

    Well that sucks! Nightmares of Bergeron's move replaying in your head or something more sinister?

    why all the sad faces?? you never know man.. Conklin and Juicy are good.. just not as much confidence.. and maybe this will make everyone play desperate hockey.. which the boys are good at. It's time to be positive not bring it all down. And besides.. look how far they've come!!! wooo hooo Go Oilers GO!!!!!!!!!!!

    conklin shouldn't have made that bone head play behind the net. period. i'm sure he didn't have to play a few warm up games for that. but ya, it's too bad he was put in that position, but he made the bad play, and it wasn't because he had lack of ice time. if the first shot on net goes in, yes. bad give away behind the net, no. i'm not going to rule him out yet, though. he has to step up now. it can be done. :)


    it wasn't Conklin's fault.. dont talk about him that way. We need positive energy not comments like that. I can't believe they didnt' give him any warm up shots.. just put him in and that was it.. he did good for what he was given. I have faith.

    It takes a team to play and win not just a goalie. Remember that fellow Oiler fans.

    Can't blame anyone for feeling like the wind was knocked out of them after that announcement though. I do agree with you on the warm up shots, he should have got a few. But Conklin made a really really stupid play behind the net....even Conklin himself admits that. And all the warm up shots in the world wouldn't have changed that play.

    Oh yeah, I watched the replays!! He should have shot the puck back around the boards and then got back in his net. And Smith was there. On TSN tonight he said that the two of them weren't communicating well enough on the play. Conklin hasn't played in like 2 months, so no one can expect him to be perfect. Can't win every game.....gotta lose one!!

    "I just held onto the puck too long," conceded Conklin, who went 8-5-1 with one shutout during 18 regular-season appearances. I didn't make the play quickly, you know? It's not a mistake I think I would normally make."

    poor guy.. Ive met him and he's really nice.. a really great guy.. very shy tho.. he lacks a lot of confidence. Both him and Juicy can get the job done if they want to.. but like I said before.. it's a team effort..

    i was devastated to find out after the game about Roli's departure from the series. However, it's not like the Oilers have to completely depend on the guy to win, i really hope Conklin can pull it out. And that play behind the net was so so so stupid. But i think he can deal with it, he was an olympian wasn't he? (albeit ont he US team) I really hope it doesn't shatter his confidence for the rest of the series.
