whatcha gonna do, the Oil have dropped 4 straight now and I am not sure what to think, its still waaaaaaaaay to early to give season predictions.

Thought comments?

It ain't lookin' good. Although don't feel bad. As far as Canadian teams go, it's probably a safe bet that if you aren't Ottawa, you're fucked

Poor Sheldon, thanks for fighting and being injured, it's not a good thing for my pool.

Well even though he gets injured he sticks up for the right people at the right time. Too bad he's so breakable.

Oilers better win tomorrow!! I will be watching with a house full of Flames's fans :rolleyes: :eek: I wonder if I can write that off as charity work

Nice win last night, fucking Smead was fantastic.

And Hemsky finally shot the puck!

GO OILERS GO!!!!!

We are sitting here having drinks and snacks and hoping they win!!!!

So word has it that Souray is out for at least another 4 weeks; had another MRI and they have found something unexpected with the shoulder. Moreau is out at least another 3 weeks; he now has some sort of cast/splint on his foot. Pitkanen and Roy are apparently doing ok and can be expected back soon, Pitkanen possibly within the next week. Frankly, I'm quite done with all these injuries, just sick of it. On a good note, Pisani is skating with the team frequently now and has almost put back on the 30 pounds he lost over the summer. The rumblings around Oil Country is that Pisani may be ready to start playing in December sometime....it'll be so great to see him back!!!
The rumour mill is working overtime in Edmonton right now too......I've been hearing that at least 2, if not all 3 of the following players are being packaged in a deal to Tampa Bay for Lecavalier; Roli, Horcoff and Torres. Please don't yell at me and tell me I'm ridiculous.....I'm just the messenger. I've heard this too many times to ignore it. I don't see the Oilers letting those 3 players go and I hope it doesn't happen, but that's the word around town right now. We'll see what happens.
Tonight was not a good game at all; they should have played Garon as he's pretty HOT right now. He let in 2 goals in the last 2 games and Roli let in 4 tonight. Garon better be starting on Saturday against the Flames. Great to finally see Stoll getting some goals....got 2 pretty sweet ones tonight!!

NHL Network is replaying Game 6 of the Finals (Canes vs Edmonton) a couple of times in the next 24 hrs. I think 3:00 AM and 1:00 PM EST. You guys handled us pretty easily in that game.

Ya, there has been Lecavalier rumours going around since mid last year...aside from Gagne, Cogliano and Hemsky, I'd give them the whole frickin team for Vinny. We have not had a bona-fide allstar on this team in WAY too long (aside from Pronger, but I don't like to even mention that shmuck). We need someone with talent that leads by putting the puck in the net....doesn't get much better than Lecavalier. We also desperately need (and I've been saying this since before the season started, but for some reason it's been a non-issue until the last week or two), a tough guy. Stortellini is a waste of space on this team. He can't fight heavyweights and isn't good enough to play decent minutes anyway.
