It's the curse of being a diehard fan, we're gluttons for punishment. After watching what we have the last 3 years the hope was that we'd at least see winning hockey at this level under these special circumstances, I guess it's time to bury that idea based on what we've been seeing.....
Why would you expect Hall Eberle and RNH to try down there? You take a 90% (or whatever the number actually is) pay cut and a relocation at your job and tell me how hard you try.
You try to not get hurt and that's about it.
Projecting a last place finish based off their effort level? C'mon. We should be solidly 25th-22nd.
I'm not worried either. I just want these guys to stay healthy. I'm pretty sure that they just didn't start sucking all of a sudden and they will be fine once the season starts in Dec.
I was pretty pumped to see the game on sportsnet after our last two games I'm going to prepare for disappointment if this tema plans of pulling it together tonight would be a good game to start

That's the kind of mentality people have until Hall is giving 110% and gets a jumping elbow to the head from some AHL lifer and is out with another concussion possibly/probably ruining his career.

You're right. We'll just have to accept these guys are losers. Like its quite clear these three players have proved so much at th NHL level that they have the green light to put no effort in the AHL. personally, I'd like to see them not called up if/when the lockout is lifted this season. If you put forward a putrid effort, you shouldn't be awarded.

Maybe Taylor Hall would be more suited for badminton.
I would have hoped that the addition of Eberle, Hall, & RNH would make the Barons a better team, not worse. These guys should be setting a good example for potential future Oilers. If they're not going to bring their "A" game, then the team would be better served dressing players that will.

Then maybe they should have told the Oilers that they want to try playing overseas.
