If MY Friends Did That To Me They Wouldn't Be My Friends

[Deathsdoorstep]

Let's put our backup goalie in the MOST unenviable position, watch him play great (yes, he played GREAT!!!) and then hang him out to dry.

That was the worst display of NO CHARACTER I have ever seen in pro sprts.

IF (yes they still can) the Oilers win the Stanley Cup, it will be the ONLY way to atone for that complete and absolute act of betrayal against their team mate.


Boys, you had BETTER make that up by winning it all. You embarassed me, all of your fans, and yourselves tonight. Your mate, who played great, deserved a better fate.

He didn't play great, but he was definitly hung out to dry.

He could've stopped alot of shots that went wide of the net.

JCR hit the nail on the head. They deserted him, we didn't even lose this game for the reason I thought we were going to lose it.

I thought the Oilers were going to protect their goalie tonight, more so than any game of the year.

It was only one game, eh.

If they do it again, then I will be plenty pissed.

I've seen them protect goalies better this year. In the regular season we outshot teams on a regular basis. I think we were #1 in the league in that stat. But Angelus will look it up and correct me if I am wrong.

We stood 18th in the league with 29.8 shots per game. However, we were first in the league allowing only 25.5 shots per game. The difference of 4.3 shots was nowhere near the top...

We've changed the system now. This team has done the Calgary Flames-style rope-a-dope and its biting us right now.

Well.....what's done is done. We're down 0-2. I guess we have to come from behind to win.

I'm not a Jussi fan by any means.... he is a back up goalie at best! But man this loss was ALL THE GUYS IN FRONT OF HIM not doing what they are supposed to do!! I feel bad for the guy.... a constant parade to the box due to some stupid mental mistakes and a few REALLY BAD CALLS by the ref and the poor bugger never had a chance. He watched most of the game being played by the other team tonight!! The "canes smell blood..... can we smell character??????????????/
