  1. the legend of rick tocchet steadily grows. after game 1 in round 1, thatcher is injured and absolutely distraught, crying, and tocc, knowing demmer will be out until round 3, says "hey, don't worry, just get healthy, because we're still going to be playing when you're better and we're going to need you." here we are now, still alive on the back of our third string, on the brink of advancing, and a game or 2 away from demmer being ready to come back. if the canucks pull this series out, demmer is going to bubble demko dallas. our team doesn't lose in conference finals.
  2. felt like there was an implication. apologies if i imagined it.
  3. just a coincidence that it's as part of a team that went to the finals last year.
  4. the biggest key will be not getting in their own heads about how the oilers are going to play. oh they're going to come out so hard, we have to weather the storm, blah blah blah. don't focus on their game, focus on yours. dictate the pace. meet pressure with pressure.
  5. if that was the case, they probably wouldn't have made the playoffs in the first place.
  6. i can't agree. if thatcher is good to go next round, he goes. that said, I think if this series goes 7 and thatcher is deemed ready, you stick with arty. but if the canucks advance and demmer is ready, the net has to be his. especially if it's dallas, because he lives rent-free in peter deboer's head.
  7. you're talking about one guy whose career highlight is laying unconscious on his face in a pool of his own spreading blood and another guy who wasn't even good enough to achieve that.
  8. coming along but longshot for this weekend/series, per above tocchet presser.
  9. yes, you have to be able to use context clues and put 2 and 2 together.
  10. yep, 3 straight overtime wins to claw back from 3-1 down in round one.
  11. ...to the person hitting the other guy in the back. that's what that rule is saying.
  12. this team doesn't prioritize shots. don't expect that to change. tocchet has effectively said he doesn't give a shit about the shot clock.
  13. let's not do the whole conspiracy theory whining thing. take the L, oilers earned the win. they were very lucky to hang on, but they earned it.
  14. didn't deserve to win but battled to put themselves into position to do so, anyway. it's gonna happen sometimes. time for some home cookin'.
