I feel like we've wasted Roli's years here and will miss him when he does go. I agree Reddox plays big as does Cogliano. For the first half of the season I thought maybe my eyes deceived me last year about Gagner, but he restored my faith in him. I've like what I've seen from O'Sullivan and Kotalik, Tambo did a good job there. I never bought the 'there's a rift in the room' theories; I do think there is a disconnect there. <BR/><BR/>I'm not frustrated anymore, but I have this dull ache that still lingers. What does madden me some is watching Vancouver; I found myself thinking, hey, that's Oilers kind of hockey. I'm one of those that hope for Canadian teams to be in the mix, but not them.<BR/><BR/>Some of MacT's decisions this year left me flummoxed, but I still think he's a good coach. I think he's tired though and would't be surprised if he stepped down. It's a different kind of team and approach now and he's a smart guy so maybe he'll get that figured out this summer.<BR/><BR/>I haven't been able to read anything Oiler since the loss and these are my first comments. I will be watching the weekend games to see how they react, see how JDD does.<BR/>*sigh* feels like heartbreak.<BR/>RoliLoverAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31712215.post-64813753563327605042009-04-04T19:55:00.000-04:002009-04-04T19:55:00.000-04:00Ah..

I meant any MORE games.. alas, my frustration is showing in my writing. <BR/><BR/>I just think that if he is our first line centre, he can't be worked like he was this season - and that's for lack of having a 2C or 3C. 50 points does not make much of a 1C.Loxyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03415695158117492065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31712215.post-3064401366367381902009-04-04T15:05:00.000-04:002009-04-04T15:05:00.000-04:00Loxy, you write about Horcoff, "not going to many ...Loxy, you write about Horcoff, "not going to many (if any) all-star games". He already went to the 2008 All-Star game, so that "any" shouldn't be there.<BR/><BR/>I dispute that he can't be a first line centre, but I agree he's not an elite centre which is what most teams have.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31712215.post-9904339785908904272009-04-03T11:54:00.000-04:002009-04-03T11:54:00.000-04:00Yeahhhh.

I got to acceptance late last night.<BR/> <BR/>I had been sort of monitoring the game on my phone at dinner, but I had to stop. I had a hockey game to play, and last time, let's see it was that piece of shit against Ana, well I had my phone on the bench, but I got so damn frustrated that I ended up throwing my equipment at my so-called defenders because they were standing around looking dumbfounded...not unlike the Oil.<BR/>Last night I stopped watching, and I was so much more pleasant, played better and didn't throw anything at anyone. Never mind that they are afraid to get in range now.<BR/><BR/>Yeah. I might have even gotten to whatever it's over can't care so much...wait haven't I been here before?????Shellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18265700422991566794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31712215.post-51812297909767464282009-04-03T01:00:00.000-04:002009-04-03T01:00:00.000-04:00BM - I'm not just well versed in hockey, you s...BM - I'm not just well versed in hockey, you should see my skills in bed... <BR/><BR/>(Yes, I went there.) <BR/><BR/>Anonymous - http://oilers.nhl.tv/team/console.jsp?catid=4&id=38157Loxyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03415695158117492065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31712215.post-4657742277275409022009-04-02T21:36:00.000-04:002009-04-02T21:36:00.000-04:00what's the "cheer for us fans" vid link?what's the "cheer for us fans" vid link?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31712215.post-53724287554593179422009-04-02T16:04:00.000-04:002009-04-02T16:04:00.000-04:00You're far too hot to be a well versed hockey fan....You're far too hot to be a well versed hockey fan.
