Om, nom, nom, nom, nom.PPV! PPV! PPV! PPV! Sorry, I've been watching a lot of old wrestling for some reason lately. So the Oilers come home sporting a shiny new 5 game win streak and what do they do? THEY COMPLETELY BLOW IT! The wheels have fallen off people! Time to hit the panic button and get the hell off this sinking ship!
Just kidding. Our troops played a surprisingly decent game, but came up short against the red hot Kings. And what do you know a stay at home D-man who hadn't scored a goal in over 150 games pots the game winner. It's not even funny anymore, the amount of guys that come in and break out of scoreless droughts against the Oilers. And don't get me started on guys scoring their first NHL goals against us. That's a whole 'nother can of worms.
The Nashville Predators have been playing the kind of hockey we would all love the Oilers to play. They don't have a boat load of high end talent. Hell outside of Shea Weber you'd be hard pressed to find a guy to send to the All Star game. But they've found a way to play hard nosed, gritty, shut down hockey, while still managing to score goals. They've scored at least 4 goals in 6 of their last 8 games. Combine that with formidable goaltending from Pekka Rinne and we've got ourselves a sleeper pick in the West. As of right now the Preds sit 4 points out of 1st in the West. Yes. The Nashville Predators. A team that I often forget still even exists is quietly tearing up the West with more tenacity than Barry Trotz in front of a bottomless plate of chicken wings.
Pat Quinn brought the hammer down after the LA game with a fiery passion. And while I'm not sure about the timing, it's nice to see that kind of reaction as compared to MacT's old stand by "Well we played super duper hard, and everyone tried their best and that's all that matters". I'm not 100 percent sure why it was this game that caused Quinn to finally pop off, because it was no where near one of the worst so far, but I guess when the same shitty, lazy mistakes are costing you points on the board every other game you're bound to get fed up. It's those same lazy, shitty mistakes that tell me this team is not a playoff team. This type of shit isn't going to fly down the stretch, and it certainly isn't going to fly if the Oilers have to meet up with the Sharks, Blackhawks or Kings in the first round. If they can continue to play as hard and as well as they have over the last couple weeks while figuring out a way to limit horrible giveaways, teach Steve Staios how to play proper positional defense, learn how to make tape to tape passes, and just generally not fuck up as much as they do, then this team should have a lot of success, and I will start cheering for them as a legitimate playoff team. But until then I will continue to cling to the side of the Hall/Seguin bandwagon. I'm not completely off it yet!
jeanshorts prediction: Oilers 8 - Preds 7. Old time 80's hockey!

106 Say Your Piece:
I'm still working on finding a game feed. Should have one in the next 10-15 minutes.
Possible omen? The site I'm waiting for the game to come on has a giant banner ad for all sorts of back problems. KHABBY!
So, I'm still looking for a feed and HOLY SHIT WE'RE ALREDY UP 2-0????
Booooooooooooze.
I hear someone here is looking for a game feed. How about a status update? Holy shit, did you jst say 2-0?!
Still looking for a feed. Still 2-0. Apperentely O'Sullivan had a hard working shift for the first time this year. Everything is looking up! Except for the whole no feed thing.
I love Jen Sharpe's description of the second goal:
"Lubomir Visnovsky saw an opportunity and slipped up the slot..."
That's the way to capitalize on an opportunity.
Hey boys! 'Sup? What? We're up 2 already? What? Robert Nilsson with another beauty?
And holy shit does Corb Lund look fucked up.
Yeah. I sucked it up and bent over for the PPV. You almost feel obligated if you have HD. But man, are these color guys bad. I mean shitacular!
fuck
Well there you go David S, you show up and the Preds score.
*points angrily at the door*
I'm so distracted right now watching some hot girl play drums for some shitty pop rock band.
And I still can't find a feed.
I'm thinking I should have bought the PPV, but this football game is pretty decent to keep my eyes busy while I listen to the Rodster.
What's that website Dakin always talks about where he dishes out 3 bucks a pop to watch the games or whatever? Fuck I'm going to have to dig through old threads aren't I?
hockeystreams.com is where you might want to try.
...awww for fucksake.
"Deslauriers out of position"
"Souray made an ill advised pinch"
Awesome. Fuck.
Yeah I just found hockeystreams. But, I think I'd rather listen to the radio than pay 5 bucks to see the Oilers crap a lead and lose.
Holy fuck is my Shaw bill gonna be a whopper next month. God damn PPV's.
You're gonna feel like a dork if the Oilers pull this one off JS.
Jaysus! Ryan Stone's wife is totally doable.
This is true, but I've got my friend Alexander Keith to help me through it. And besides, listening to Rod reminds me of driving home from hockey and listening to the Oilers as a younger shell of myself.
And another Preds goal. More giveaways!
Steve FUCKING Staios. You god damn washout!!!!! Sonofabitch.
FUCKKKKKKK
I have a feed working:
http://livetv.ru/webplayer.php?t=vexcast&c=355&lang=en
it only works in IE though. Shit, 3-2 now?
Remember when we were so happy to have Staios back from his injury? That was a great while it lasted for all 3 of those games.
Why the fuck is it that whenever someone scores against the Oilers, the Flames score at the same time... FUCK!!
Weird O'Sullivan's plus/minus is getting shredded once again. I wonder what excuse he's going to use this time.
I don't care how fucked up Khabby is. He'd still be better than JDD. THROW HIM IN THERE!!!!!!!
The thing I love most about Rod is he will rip on players for making crappy plays. Like just now he's talking about how Nilsson should have shot but, of course, he tried for a fancy pass and it bounced off a skate. He doesn't try and find the silver lining. He tells it like it is. PUT HIM ON SPORTSNET!
Is anyone else having problems with 630 CHED? It's cutting out and I have to keep refreshing.
A Disoronno commercial just explained how to make a Disoronno on the rocks. You needed a whole commercial for that?
Mines working fine. Maybe you're is trying to commit suicide so it doesn't have to broadcast another craptacular implosion by the Oilers.
Robert Nilsson: "We started out good but ended up really shitty."
*Gene cringes*
MY GOD CORB LUND LOOKS LIKE DAKIN!!!!!!
At least this PPV delivered.
Sweet-titty-fuckin-Christ. JeanShorts I think you might be right. Everytime Rod says "O'Sullivan" it cuts out.
My CHED stream is working fine. I still can't believe the Oilers brass were able to rid the internets of Oilers streams.
I fucking hate when there's 4 or 5 streams of games that I can fucking watch on TV, and not one for the Oilers PPV. Gah.
Ah well it's probably better off that I don't watch tonight.
How long do you think it will be before Quinn punches O'Sullivan in the eye?
^ -6 minutes.
Man, minus 6 there today? Fuckin balmy! It better stay not ball bustingly cold while I'm there. 5 more sleeps.
"Patrick O'Sullivan suffered an undisclosed upper body injury between periods and won't be back."
I wish.
HOLY FUCK did Zetterberg ever get crushed by Ohlund. Swede on Swede violence
I also heard he had an undisclosed upper body injury. Word on the street is he was violently T-Bagged by Tom Renney.
Buddy slashes Penner, busts his stick. No penalty. WTF????????????????????????????????????????????
This sounds like 100 shades of ugly. Fuck sakes.
Pat Quinn will murder someone by the end of the night, win or lose.
Yup.
Jesus fuck. Guy in front on the net, waiting for the gift. Oilers oblige them with a pooooor line change.
MOTHER FUCKER!!!!
Did any of you guys see that line change?
*mega facepalm*
I heard about it.
This one time in novice, I went to go out on the ice for warm up, but I forgot to take my skate guards off, and I flopped around looking like a 7 year old asshole. I imagine that's what the Oilers have looked like for most of this game outside of the snazzy first 5 minutes.
http://images.starcraftmazter.net/4chan/for_forums/tactical_facepalm.jpg
"I don't know when I've seen the Oilers play worse than they are now".
hahaha fuck Rod is on fire tonight. I love it.
Ha ha! 5 on 3 you bastardz!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ah crap.
MAGIC MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What the fuck man you are literally 3 minutes ahead of the radio feed.
So, Nilsson huh?
I wish you could have seen that one. It was ricockulous.
haha is Horcoff getting the boo birds? Fuck you Rexall place!
Holy fuck Brule you trickster!*
*No goal, just a crazy sick move.
Another no call on another broken stick huh? I wish that was a league wide thing since these sticks are paper thin, but fuck man why does this shit always seem to happen to the Oilers?
@ JS - I think it has something to do with the fact that we don't have any superstars. I mean, Ovechkin or Crosby gets hacked like that and its a 4 minute double. Penner gets a greasy donair fart.
Penner is flirting with getting chucked outta this game. DON'T DOOOOO IT MANNNNNN!!!!
HAHAHA Rod ripping into the refs! This is amazing! I might start listening to the radio over top of games all the time.
Also this reffing sounds absolutely butt fuckingly atrocious.
HAHAHAHA Rod just said something about an embellished rub off. HAHA
haha it was amazing. It started off with "You want to know what is wrong with the NHL right now?" And finished with "an embellished rub off".
No wonder Rod is the Hall.
Well there goes that comeback. Assist to the ref.
So what the fuck happened to all our "internet friends"? Wrapping god damn presents a fucking week before Christmas?
Oh! The last-minute goal against. Q'uelle surprise!
"What the shit is this shit?"®
I was about to ask "How the fuck can both Rod and Stauffer miss the Preds putting in a completely new goalie?"
And then I realized that it's Rod and Stauffer.
Holy shit. They're running a downtown arena infomercial!
Just saw the highlights. That Nilsson kid looks like he may have finally "got it". Either that or Patrick O'Sullivan drew the short straw, so they switched places on which one got to be the guy with tons of talent but plays like shit.
I still don't understand why they do replays of Rod's goal calls after the periods. Can't they just tell us who scored?
That last goal was on Tom Gilbert. He's due for Quinn to give him an "Orr".
Nilsson has to work with POS now. I thought you rewarded a player for scoring two instead of punishing him.
What the fuck man. The Flames are like the Red Wings of the free agent market/waiver wire. How the fuck do they sign these low end guys and turn them into game changers/big pieces of their team?
Glencross, Bourque, Dawes? Fuck you Calgary.
I think Quinn is just running out of options. No matter what line he puts POS on he seems to flounder. He's just trying to find maybe one guy to spark him. Good luck with that. The Falcons could use a winger right?
Sounds like Grebeshkov is back to his goat ways. Awesome. Everything is back to normal.
*starts making a WELCOME TO EDMONTON TYLER sign*
Rod is on fire tonight!
Fuck I love Dustin Brown.
Thankfully he was taken long before we passed over Getzlaf and Perry and Richards, etc for Marc-Andre Brokengroin.
did rod just throw grebs under the bus?
He definitely, definitely did. So did Stauffer, although I'm pretty sure Bob is just following the leader. But still, it was sweet.
Man. you just have to think Quinn wants to pull JDD to see if he can shake things up. Then he looks down the bench. And mumbles to himself "fuck!".
Fucking Grebs. Fuck.
I don't see how Dubnyk doesn't start next game. Oh, shit, it's against the Caps. Well then the game after.
I'm all for throwing JDD in the deep end, but, I think he's let in more than enough softies in his 13 straight games or whatever that it's time to give Dubnyk a look.
Ha ha! Souray shatters another pane of glass.
I bet that chick that works on the ice crew in the sexy, baggy track pants is becoming less and less of a Souray fan when she has to change the glass 2 times a game.
And then she goes home and touches herself thinking about how awesome his shot is, just like the rest of us.
If we had Khabby in there, we'd probably have won three or four more games by now. Who in the flying fuck thought it was a good idea to have an AHL'er for a backup? Cocksucker!
Yeah. The Caps. THAT will be the game that pushes Quinn off the deep end.
HAHAHAHA "They have the smootch cam on... and it started to look like a porno"
I'm so glad I didn't pay for this game.
Ok a bit of help, our D sucks and the guy next in line to coach this team is coaching the D? fuck... no that cant be right.... can it?
You never know with the Caps though. They've gotten beat twice by the shitty Leafs. So there's still a glimmer of hope. A tiny one, but a glimmer.
I'm going to blame any coaching problems on Buchburger, and some kind of lingering MacT effect/hangover.
Although Renny did get fired from the Rangers........
C'mon JS. Lets face it. We're nowhere as good as the Leafs.
Time for the first line to punch in for work I think.
It's the fucking pitty point man. The Leafs have 7 points for losing games. There ability to lose in OT and the shootout is the only thing keeping them out of the basement.
Easily the worst is the Stars though. 11 fucking pity points! That's unreal! They've lost 20 games but got points for losing 11 of them. That makes no fucking sense. God I hate the "New NHL".
5 minutes to go. You think we put one in right away and its game on.
Right?
Well, I've seen crazier things happen.
*remembers the time he saw BM kiss a woman on the lips*
O'Sullivan just barely avoided a ritual sacrifice in front of RX1 there. Barely.
haha Rod was like "Oh well there you go. Patrick O'Sullivan is now minus 4 on the night. Oh no goal? Too bad".
Seriously, could this kids season get any worse? Can we please just trade him already and put everyone out of their misery? Let another fan base deal with him.
How many times has the "last-minute-down-by-two" timeout worked?
I'm thinking 0.
Nice one JDD. Good god you suck man.
Ugly, ugly, ugly, ugly. Please god, don't let Pat Quinn's heart give out on him tonight while he sleeps.
What idiot would trade FOR O'Sullivan?
No doubt right??
*starts weeping over top of copies of Horcoff's, Pisani's, Moreau's and Gilbert's contracts*
Welp. That was a well spent PPV.
Know what sucks the most? We don't have an alternative goalie to throw in next game. Our backup has what, 20 minutes of NHL experience?
Fuuuuuuuuuck!
Well lucky for us things can't get much worse, so there's not much to lose throwing an inexperienced rookie between the pipes for a game.
And, if anything, it may further the DFF cause!
Curse you and your damn DFF.
The only reason I'm leaning towards it is because of garbage nights like this. This team has had far too many games like this, and not nearly enough games like the ones on the 5 game win streak. You really want to watch games like this in the playoffs? Well we probably won't have the choice because they are going to fuck themselves out of the post season soon enough.
I'm definitely interested to see what Tambo does at the trade deadline though.
well that settles that.... I shall be gunned when I enter RX1 on saturday... just to be safe.
Hey guys, I just stumbled in from an office Xmas gathering an....JESUS TITTY FUCKING CHRIST THIS TEAM SUCKS TESTICLE SACKS!!! FUCK!!!
So, it's about the Taylor Hall kid. Is he any good?
What the fuck is this bullshit? I go to a fucking funeral and you guys decide to throw a party in the USA? Jesus where are you when I want to party? Fuck you guys. You had better ALL be there next week when Me and jeanshorts bring the fucking house down. God dammit fucking OILERS!!!! DFF is alive!!!!
p.s. I have consumed alcohol tonight.
Jesus. I'm watching Vancouver and Washington right now. Holy shit are we going to get our asses kicked tomorrow.
p.s. I have not yet consumed alcohol. Soon baby. Soon.
