Stickem

If the guy is operating at 60 percent because of injury....then yeah he has an excuse...I would question the viability of leaving him in the lineup....It's not on Dubois anyway with regard to our effort in this series so far....It's our piss poor play..................cept for Helle

Dubois has been a disappointment up till now.....Would we be faring any better with Laine in the lineup??....I remember Patrik went missing when we were eliminated by Cal. last year....Which brings me to this little nugget from last year....Schief was put out of that series against the Flames last year by Tkachuk, on a dirty hit against the boards that left Mark writhing on the ice....Did he even get a penalty on the play (never mind suspension)...This league has lost a lot of credibility as far as I'm concerned...It seems it was okay to knock one of our stars out of the playoffs last year, on a very dangerous play to our players health and career....and the league did nada....Double standard that's for sure.............Anyway....I hope this team isn't crying in their beer because of a serious over-step by the league...Go out there and at least play like you want to win....give these buggers a run....I noticed we're not hitting at all like we did with the Oilers...At least we can give ol Mount Royal a little punishing before they head to the next round, so they can limp into the next series......I hate going out like a bunch of wooses

The fix is in.....what a friggin joke....I could see a fine but not 4 games....Maurice must be just livid but will go out a sportsman over the issue...The league looks bad on this call and IF Le Canadians prevail it will be a tainted one and stink to high heaven...I hope they enjoy the series handed to them and I hope to hell they get their arse kicked in the next round....

This is playoff hockey....you better be prepared for hard hits...If Schief is going to get suspended for playing at a 110 percent then I'm watching the wrong game....What a bunch of bull$hit....right out of the eastern media crapcan

Don't like what I'm hearing guys.....Middle of the Universe media called Helle the BEST goalie in the Universe.....Wasn't that the handle they gave McDavid (best player in the World) and look what happened to him and his club...I think the media types in the east are trying to give the Connor's the kiss of death...They don't seem to have anything else going for them, especially with the way things look for their Torranna club

I like to come out strong....especially when the media get it wrong...I have to admit I had my misgivings when we blew a tire at the end of the season BUT then went to the pit and put on a new set of 'wheels'...(no not our captain)....Just seemed to find ourselves...I think the guys looked around the dressing room and said to themselves..'this club has too much talent to be given the short shrift by brainwashed media types'...Even IF we go out in the next round (hope we don't),we've proved a lot of people wrong...Whoever we face next...(looks most likely T.O.) if we can come up with same effort we gave against the Oilers..you just never know how far we can go...GOJETS

As much as it pains the eastern media to say it...'THE BETTER TEAM WON'....I don't care what the points in the final stages of the season were....we led the Oilers most of the year in the standings...Guess it got over looked by the lame pundits....We are a better balanced team and proved it....sooooo they can all go cry in their beer and give this team the credit they deserve....McDavid who??????...GOJETS yeah I heard that...they can give that little homer the gate....UNBIASED....MY AUNT FANNY

What a team effort on the comeback ....I thought we were dead in the water down 4-1 BUT this team is full of surprises... The hit on Stanley was the catalyst that we were lacking....A dirty shot that the league better have a look at....Time to put these guys away tonight....All I read before the series was how great McDavid was...Maybe the media better read up on what Ehlers is capable of and quit falling over the media's darling flavour of the year guy ..Gets a bit much....GOJETS

Someone said we may have just as well slept through some of those pic's....I believe sleepy Joe was snoozing....What a disaster that man was....

I wish we were starting that series over dere at our place instead of dat place in oil town...son of a gun eh

The power play of late has been non-existent or if you prefer anemic....Cripes,I don't think they could hit an empty net on some of our chances...The goaltending the other clubs have shown lately is little or no different than the beginning of the year....What's happened since then, is going on in the locker room, of which we are not privy to....If the coach can't get it together and present a stronger showing with this team then he has to be shown the door...Something is radically wrong...You'd think we would be putting up a stronger effort with the playoffs around the corner ...A couple of games left...IF we let Van. leave looking like they should be in the playoffs instead of us and then get destroyed by T.O....the writing will be on the wall for the rest of the campaign..

So does a poor showing in the playoffs orrrr out in straight games get you a ticket out of town??I would hope so....I think Maurice has seen his better days here IF that's what happens....in fact the whole coaching crew should be looked at...This club has too much talent to be floundering around against non-contenders like Ottawa and Van....what a pitiful showing....IF something isn't done we'll be taking up the bottom wrung...What a kick in the arse for the fans

AND other challenged clubs (cept' us cuz we're pretty deep) are just waiting it out to pick the Cat's bones......Too many of their talented crop will find homes elsewhere....Nice to have an embarrassment of riches...but it has it's pitfalls...In the end spreading the talent is very good for the league

The lunchbucket guys along with Helle won that one and clinched a berth....Wheels came alive and it sure would be nice to see him carry that play into the playoffs...Maybe we were just playing possum in the last 7 games....I don't see at as any ploy to chose who we're gonna face...cuz it really doesn't look like it matters much...We're going to be in tough whoever we play

I trust Kyle's judgement on Dobson.....I'm sure he's done his homework on his availability ...There are plenty of O Line guys in the states looking for work and they'll get priority....Unless he's super,super good I think he might be here sooner than you think...'The Roadgrader' ....I like his nickname

Don't see the need for O Line.....could use a D guy like Lokombo....although we have been burnt in the past by selecting players with Saskabush roots....(see Labatte)....I just hope we pick a quality future type

So we're running scared by not wanting to face the better clubs....IF that's the case we have a real problem and I believe it's behind the bench...This club is playing like they want to dump someone and I believe it's Maurice....There's no way the fans are buying into this epic collapse, just as the playoffs are around the corner....If we exit in a listless effort....goodbye someone at the end of the year ...and it won't be the players...What a crappy effort against a noncontender like Ottawa....Chevy better fix this or they'll be looking at him....the 'they' being ownership

So no changes needed????hmmmmm...Like the song said 'the more you near your destination the more you're slip slidin' away.......Looks like an early exit in 2021....This baloney about not making a deal to shore up the defense really irks me...This team is/was ready to win NOW....Not making a deal and maybe sacrificing some of our assets is bull$hit.....I think the team read into the NON MOVE at the trade deadline was that management thinks we can win with status quo...That was a big mistake and has deflated the club...Most of the guys are looking at the deals the other clubs made to improve has left us on the sidelines...Have they thrown in the towel??...I would hope not but it sure looks that way right now...There's definitely an internal problem and in the end someone's arse should/will be definitely in a sling...I hope I'm totally wrong and the team rebounds with a vengeance...right now I don't see it

I don't know what's going on with Scheifele .....he definitely isn't playing the caliber of hockey he's capable of.....Connor looks like he's caught the same lull in his game as Scheif.....I'm sorry to have to say this but I think Wheels is done....He's slower than molasses and looks like he has lead in his skates...He's supposed to bring something special to the team according to Maurice....If it's just a solid anchor in the dressing room then I'm sorry...we need more than that...Below par performance isn't cutting it...time to move on....There's definitely something gone missing from a team that looked to have such promise a little while ago....Chevy and Paul better get together and figure out something pretty quick cuz this ship is taking on water fast

Maybe...just maybe we didn't do anything at trade time to improve the D....Other clubs like T.O. did and are going to bury us early...Unless everyone comes to play 99 percent of the time, this team is dead in the water....Lost three in a row now and this last one was a very bad sign of a team that just isn't good enough

The children of these vet. heroes (I call them all heroes for their dedication to the country) were subjected to the same 'shell shock' (PTSD they call it now)...The offspring carry the same traits as their fathers, another fact that govt. fails to recognize...I know my mother went through hell and for a young woman carried a heavy burden for a lot of years...War ruins and take lives, more than we care to admit

There are more tragedies that most likely never came to light after that war....Your friends father sounds like a repeat of mine.....Post war my dad worked for the federal govt. ran a dept. in the Unemployment Insurance office in Wpg. for years until the booze finally caught up....Our family really took a hit and ended up in emergency housing (Flora Place) when I was a kid....It was tough for my brothers and sisters to come out of that but we managed....It was easy to feel sorry for ourselves but we didn't...It's tough for me to even talk about those days and I can imagine what some families are going through now with this pandemic...Losing everything is tough but we keep on going...Hard life lessons are being learned now....BUT it well end....as that war did, and like I said before life goes on...................Back to football

My father turned to booze also...He was R.C.A.F. in the Battle of Britain from 39' on....I know what he saw and endured was most likely the cause of his alcoholism ...ruined the family and his life....Did we cry and give up ...NO....we sucked it up and survived.....Our neighbours at the time said he was termed .shell shocked' ...the term is now PTSD...BUT nobody ,especially govt. wanted to recognize it....This pandemic is a war of sorts....but nothing compared to the 60 million lives lost in that catastrophe...the second world war.....Life goes on

I think he's trying to flag that blonde cross from him but she's only got eyes for the spangle dangler with the mic and high heels

Boomers don't have to prove anything to anyone....never have ..never will...Speaking for my generation ,a lot of us were born to vets. from a world war....much bigger than this pandemic....The children born to PTSD veterans of that war carried a heavy load in the initial part of their lives....Looking back most of us have done well considering ...This pandemic will end....most will survive...including boomers....In the end and at present it starts with getting a vaccination...encouraging others to get it definitely helps AND ...our music is and was better than that rap crap
