Not expecting much from sharks. Missing Murray playing horrible of late. Maybe Van will break the streak.

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

How did Murray fracture his adam's apple? I've never even heard of that, Mike.

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

What a game winning goal Dats put in with 5 second to go!!! Go Wings!

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Freak injury blocked shot rode up stick and hit him in throat. Tried to stay on bench but realized couldnt. Game going as expected. Sharks for the first year in a while look deep enough, but dont play that way. Looking like they will limp in to playoffs and get bounced in the second round.

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Hawks hand the Blues only their second loss when leading in the 3rd period. :wo

Hawks need to win 6 more straight to make up for the streak. Tuesday will be tough.

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Too bad, I really like Murray. Relatively weak skater who makes up by doing everything at 110% and using his huge frame as an advantage.

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Yup my sons best friend who he has played with for three years now is nicknamed little murray. Not a great skater, not fast, but has become a smart player who uses his size and stick well. Its hard to dislike murray. Not a dirty player, just works hard and uses hus assets.

Friggin sharks.

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

I really like the Blues a lot under Hich. They are going to be tough to beat come playoffs.

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Blues have been awesome under Hitch...hoping the Hawks get a shot at them in the post season.

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

he played for the icehogs and for the blackhawks...so i am pretty sure tom will have a comment...

cam barker...how does it feel to be the worst defenceman on the(arguably)worst team in the nhl???weak weak weak...does not win a single battle.was he this way in chicago???or does he just want a transfer out of edmonton???

tired of a 15 year rebuilding phase...yet an oiler fan forever.
derrek :hm

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Hawks wasted a 1st round draft pick on him...but thankfully got Nick Leddy as part of the trade from the Wild for him.

Oilers may win the lottery and get another #1, Derrek! :D

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

missed the Isles game today versus the Sens cause I was car shopping. I saw the score and for oncce I am happy I went car shopping. 6-0 withPoulin chased in under 2 minutes...I can't wait to see P.A.'s Game miscinduct and Matt Martins fight.

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Ah you poor Oil fans. I will say that I love Eberle. That guy is already awesome and going to get better. I really think that if you get a good goalie (Kabby started playing lights out but the law of averages caught up), traded Hemmer for a good defender and a pick and added one more top 4 defender you could be real scary. This is coming from a Cow town fan.

On another note: Edson!? My grandparents lived 20-30 mins north of Edson when I was young. We used to go into the "big city" on occasion from the farm. Loved it out there when I was young. What are you doing out there? Oil?

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

sorry about that...i usually keep my frustration pretty well bottled up...its just that i had just watched the oilers loose again to the canucks no less...and kind of snapped. :hm ...i have been focusing on barker the last few weeks...what a sh!tty defencman...such a weak defencman he makes sutton look bad too.

if a streak of bad years piles up like it has for the oilers...i believe...that managment is to blame not the players...kevin lowe may have been a good hockey player but he sucks as a hockey administrator...time to start firing managment starting at the top.

44...i live 26kms east of edson...1 mile from the end of wolf lake road.
was working for an oil company for 30 years...now i work for my wife as a general handyman.i love edson and this part of the world...1 1/2 hours to edmonton and 1 1/2 hours to jasper...best of both worlds.too bad the winters stretch from nov to april...i am happy to trade the snow for solitude tho...nearest heighbour is 1/2 mile away...i have enough land and house is situated so that no matter where anyone builds i will never have anybody looking in my livingroom window.

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

No Datsyuk for the Wings and no Toews for the Hawks tonight. :(

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

No need to apologize, Derrek. We all get frustrated with extended periods of poor team play. I have suffered with that in almost every one of my favorite teams in the sports I follow. You hit the nail on the head with the front office in Edmonton. They have not been able to put it together for too long.

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Yeah no need to apologize. We all have that frustration. Speaking of which, your Oilers just rang up 4 goals in 10 minutes on the Flames... arrrggggg!

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Nice win. Glad someone could beat those friggin father time defiers

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Nice win versus the Flames, Derrek...6 goals by 6 players, and 3 point for Jordan. :tu

Hawks win their 4th straight, including beating the Rangers, Blues and Wings (without Toews). I think we are back on the right track, Crawford has looked much better the last week.
