I don't know why they chose to put Budaj in net against one of the best teams. I realize Carey needs a rest but couldn't they just have had him stick it out one game and put Budaj in against the Sabres?

Well, Budaj has to play at some point. And it's not like we lost because of him. Granted he wasn't good but only the last goal was a really bad one to give.

One of the interesting discussion that i have been hearing over the last couple of days on local sports radio is that teams are circling dates against the Oilers the same way you would look forward to playing against an elite team. I'm not saying the Oil are an elite team, but rather teams are looking forward to playing them (more so than any other middle of the pack team because they are the talk of the league) and are bringing their A game. I found it a rather interesting theory.

Yak is clutch. Does anybody remember him not showing up at the WJC? No, didn't think so.

Any chance you're a regular poster on hfboards? Perhaps with a similar avatar?

I believe it - I've watched Calgary play other teams, and they've looked more or less like shit half the time.

But they came steady out of the gate and played a full, solid 60 minute game against the Oilers.

Coldrsx · #**645** Posted **Jan 31, 2013, 4:01 PM**

Should be interesting to see if the Oil can stand up to the sharks this time... last time was so embarrassing that I would hope to see some piss and vinegar tonight.

Black Star · #**646** Posted **Jan 31, 2013, 5:44 PM**

We all had a chuckle watching the coyotes players still on the bench after the refs left the ice lol.

MrOilers · #**647** Posted **Jan 31, 2013, 5:53 PM**

I think the Coyotes were hoping if they waited long enough they'd be given a chance to tie it in OT.

You've got me confused with my alter-ego Sipowicz, he's a crusty old ----ick.

I think they were waiting to see if their locker room had been sold off yet.

Although this guy is Wolverine and should be back before the expected recovery time.

I told you guys... I've never seen an athlete able to heal so fast (even though Dr. Recchi is not impressed).

Only 5 days after the surgery.

Quote:

The Canadiens are missing one of their big guns in Pacioretty, who was the team’s leading scorer last season but his appearance on the ice for a light skate Thursday in Brossard was encouraging. He underwent a minimally invasive laparoscopic procedure to remove his appendix last Saturday and the prognosis was for a return in 3-4 weeks.

BTW-As much I like Markov, some players have to wake up... Desharnais and Eller for example. He is carrying the team on his own basically (literally... he has 75% of our GWGs)

Diaz is a product of Markov (like Souray, Streit, Komisarek and others)... so 3 pts ahead of Plekanec (and he's a D).

If Marky stays healthy (big IF though), Erik Karlsson is gonna have some competition this year.

So for the first time ever, i was able to watch out of market regionally broadcast hockey games tonight. I watched the Toronto, Calgary, and Edmonton games including their local commercials ive never seen before. Is this the new normal or did i just get lucky? Its awesome.

There was a free preview of Centre Ice, so that was probably what you were watching.

Unfortunately it ended after tonight's games.

artvandelay · #**654** Posted **Feb 1, 2013, 7:34 AM**

Flames played a good 40 minutes tonight but fell apart at the end, and Kipper put in a horrible performance.

On the bright side, we've seen more exciting, skilled hockey during this season thus far than the entire Brent Sutter era.

Actually all three games were on sportsnet ontario and west. Maybe its the new normal. Hope so. Thatll give me a lot more hockey to watch.

Calgarian · #**656** Posted **Feb 1, 2013, 4:08 PM**

Going to be a long season for the Flames...

Great game by Hudler though, was really impressed with his performance last night.

MrOilers · #**657** Posted **Feb 1, 2013, 4:17 PM**

Flames fans are starting to sound like Oilers fans now:

"Yeah, we got our asses handed to us 6-3, but at least it was fun to watch."

On that note, the Oilers lost 3-2 in a shootout with the Sharks, but at least they got a road point and it was a great game to watch.

suburbanite · #**658** Posted **Feb 1, 2013, 4:18 PM**

The sharks are really something else. They've always been a good regular season team but they way they dominate every game makes them real fun to watch.

Marleau, Pavelski, and Niemi are single-handedly carrying my fantasy team to victory.

Fixed.

Sounds like someone f'd up. Even with the Centre Ice preview, I was blocked out of seeing the original feeds on Sportsnet East/Ontario, and TSN Jets/Montreal.

Keep us posted if this continues - I'll be demanding my CI payment back if I can just watch for free.
