Junkyard Dog Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Just now, HKSR said: What I don't like is that deep down we all know the Oilers are one hot goalie from going deep into the playoffs, possibly even winning it all. Likelihood is it won't happen, but you never know with goalies. If they play a team like Vegas in the 1st round they might have trouble matching up 4 lines.

They looked so good up until recently... age catching up to them as we hit the 2nd half? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think players on the Sabres felt deterred from taking runs at Hughes? There were 3 heavier plays against Hughes in the game. I'm not saying any of those hits warranted someone dropping the mitts, but the fact that there was a 1st run, then a 2nd, then a 3rd... that's a problem. Or it's at least a problem waiting to happen 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a joke from back when we won another game and the CanucksFanForLife feller said we shouldn't be happy. I wanted to keep the tradition going You gotta put sarcasm in like italics or something!

We play against Sabres in March so it might happen if they gained the reputation of being a dirty team. I have noticed them a little bit dirty with unnecessary target like that.

Popular Post Hairy Kneel Posted January 14 Popular Post Share Posted January 14 Got home from work: Why shorty call 2 + 2 on Miller? Then shorty insinuates us for a too many men? Seriously? if your auditioning for a US team just go already. Miller followed through on his hit, no intent to injure Darling. While were at it get the fking extra ref out of the way there! (Miller could have hit that black ref instead of Darling,he was in the mf way) Miller stands up for himself, awesome. Whole team then targets Huggy? We need a big guy for Aman or Mik or both no time for these pussies(sic) I mean softies. @5M? jeebus. OR, or put Myer's at RW let Juul's work the D. Our defense is our strength, let's move some of our strength onto the 4th line, (strengthen our forwards forechecking and mthrfking hitting!) We need a 4th liner with mthrfkin balls. Guys running Huggy? Glad Hronek threw down Benson that lil shit. Petie stood up to Tuch? beauty move. But Miller and Petie and Huggy need a help up there on the 4th line for this shit. Fk Tuch. Buffalo's antics gave them life in a game we were controlling. That's bs. Then the refs trying to play catch up after losing control of the game? That high stick against Joshua was weaksauce compared to the high stick on Lafferty that wasn't called at the end of the 1st period. Canucks kill 2 pp's in a row..wow, we have good defenseman. Demko highway robbery in Middlebitch. Plus I'm sick of talk about regression, regression is 'quit'. Rick doesn't coach quit. It’s how you play he'd say, the staples, how you control the guts when you have to. If i had to choose, I'd take Kuz over Mik. That inside out pass to Mik was great (but no goal.) Plus a healthier knee. Of course they're going to call that w.e. on Hogs aaaand we kill it. Ohh love the hit on Tuch by Zadorov . Soucy with a good quiet game, evident in the late 3rd period. Demko with a great god bless u save with one minute to go. Buffalo coach calls timeout, he really looks like Mr Dressup. I met Mr. Dressup. Super nice guy. Demko shuts the door. Shut.....out. We win bitches. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see Canucks, Knights and Oilers taking divisional spots. LA/Seattle in a wildcard. Would be pretty sick to face Seattle in the 1st round ngl. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were down to 3 defenceman twice. It's different with a team having nothing to lose, you can't just throw out Bob Probert and they'll turn into whimpering blobs.
