HAHA I am not controversal... maybe that is why

Canada did beat US 3 to 1 so revenge is sweet

[trizz251]

well of course it's sweet revenge, but you can tell they were gonna lose the first game, sitting out a conn smythe and a hart trophy winner plus a hall of famer, come on you would do that. and now i'm pissed, gretzky took nedved, and which means all the oilers have left is a couple of ok players and which means no point in watching them, unless they have some major switch in managing staff and coaching staff, i don't like Craig McT

[James Ko]

Mctavish is overraged... I remember he was the last Oilers (From the great team and he wasn't really that great... but because he was a member he took lot of credit.

Just like he was the last one to play without the helmet restriction.

[trizz251]

well think about it, most of the edmonton oiler staff, which can't do ne thing good, is from that dynasty that we won 5 cups, and craig McT is really, really overrated, he's the worst player out there

[James Ko]

Kevin Lowe was pretty good.

[superkaratemonkey]

i think they sat out lemieux cuz he doesnt really need any warm up games (i mean, he is mario after all), + its exhibition so its no big deal whether he plays or not.
i think lowe drop the ball this time letting nedved go, he almost singlehandedly took the oilers to the playoff last yr. lowe is a very bad GM, and macT is a very bad coach, they should both be canned

[trizz251]

Agreed, lowe did make some pretty good deals but he made some even worse decisions so he should go down to like the minors or something and pick up some experience and then try mangement later on, and MAcT is just darn bad, he has the right guys and tools, but he can't put the puzzle together which says lack of experience which also means to the minors he should go

[superkaratemonkey]

some coaches, b4 they start in the nhl, should really try coachin in the minor 1st, cuz if they just jump rite into the nhl they'll get a short coaching career. granato, fired by the Avs, probably will never get to coach again, all becuz when he had the chance he wasnt ready for it. if edm had money, they'll fire macT and he'll end up like granato.

[trizz251]

well i think so too, and it's because MacT is the only one the oilers can hire without filing for bankruptcy, but i hope they fire him soon for a coach in the minors looking for a job in the NHL that would be pretty good for the oilers, a coach with the experience. Kevin Lowe made good deals, but he gave up too much and think he needs to step down for a real playmaker, someone who knows how to manage a team. and yes it's finally here the World Cup of Hockey has started, Finland vs. Czech Republic, i hope the fins win beacuse of kiprusoff

[superkaratemonkey]

lowe making good deals?? aside from the nedved one, i cant think of any

[trizz251]

well the dvorak one and the mike york one did pay off, but we lost a lot just to get those guys, so i don't know if they are good or not, oh ya and
GAME 1
finland vs. czech republic
finland beats czech republic 4-0

heres something about the yellow jersey, $130 to buy one, vintage canadian jersey winnipeg falcons

[superkaratemonkey]

the winnipeg falcons worn it in 1926 to represent canada, so they r wearing as their vintage jersey. it looks really bad, kinda like nashville's jersey. and it have no name plate, which really annoys me cuz i couldnt really tell whos who.
dang, jovos out for the turny! first blake, then pronger, now jovo... wonder whos gonna take over for him, hannan or j.bo

[James Ko]

Maybe is a strategy to distract players from looking at the puck

[trizz251]

i hope jovo is the last one to leave cause all these injuries been hitting everyteam in the world cup, ne ways it's all good, and they never worn that black jersey have then?

[superkaratemonkey]

which black jersey? u mean the canada away jersey?
