Scott Gomez with a 7 point night. Any other Hab who hasn't gotten a point since Christmas will get a goal and an assist.

Damn, the Habs are going at the tank hard by putting Budaj in net.

However, i have complete faith in Renney to compose a lineup that will rival any tank every done before. We should expect to see Hordichuk and Petrell on the top line with Barker and Potter on the top pairing, that should more than offset the Habs move of Budaj in net or even better, push Tambellini to sign Strudwick to a one day contract to play on the top pairing because this game is a must lose. Come on Renney, the suck is strong in you.

FTR, i want the Oilers to keep winning but it's not fun to talk about winning.

Not available in Canada. Just like Stanley's Cup.

Oh wait, that's a South Park episode too...

It just doesn't happen.
Usually Cory Cross works here but you're right.

We can always count on our penalty killers at least.

We're pros at this by now.

It's pretty cute watching you Hab fans rally for the tank tonight in your GDT. But you're up against the masters tonight. We can execute complete line changes when the other team is on the rush. We have 2 goalies that can give up a softie at the most back breaking time near every game. We have Potter and Barker, 2 AHL D-men taking a good chunk of minutes, and Whitney isn't playing too much better than them right now either. We have a coach that gives the big minutes to our worst players(Smid and Petry aside), and can't make a logical line combination to save his life.

You guys are in tough tonight if you want to walk out of here without at least 1 point.

Nope. Like I said in your GDT, I want to win. You guys can have last place. Tasted it twice in a row already.

Go Oilers Go. 14-2 Oil. Yeah. 14 goals homie!

Added Oilers preview and some info about game time and such.

If we win, we might be inching closer to catching Minny.

Pff, He's our tank leader on offense, we've got Crapoli leading the charge on D. You guys have already lost the tanking lead to Columbus, we're the new failures on the block....

Renney might even pull the goalie while we're down by 3 and on the PK.

You just never know with that guy.

Sorry, this will be cancelled out by our offside skills.

didn't click on the link, but from the part you quoted, I dislike the person.
I want the oilers to win, finish at least 10 points above last year and give the players and fans alike some hope that next year will indeed be different. especially the players.
none of this lets hope we lose stuff. that's part of the reason why people think the oilers and oiler fans are losers, because of that mentality.

This seems like an ideal Bill O'Reilly meme picture.

"No one back to defend, goal gets scored. You can't explain that"

I can't believe that happened, they had enough time to organize a flying V a la Mighty Ducks movie and it would've ended the same way.
