Game 57. TOR vs. CGY. 9:00pm EST.

Not if u only have 82 tries.

It still happens 1 time out of every 10, no matter how you slice it. Last season, it was 1 time out of every 9.

They lost, i was right.

 

[ZBBM]

Wowzers.  If we blow the game tomorrow nite we're looking at a 6-game losing streak, because these dudes ain't going to be beating Vancouver, that's for sure.

 

[Edeagle]

I'm embarrassed about how angry I am right now. It's just a hockey game.. they should have been putting people in the rear-view this week. I can't believe we're still in 8th. I have a bad feeling the crapstorm has just begun.. they're gonna lose a bunch more in a row

No, you're still wrong. Statistically, they still had a chance. Just because they didn't make good on that chance doesn't mean you were right.

No, but you have demonstrated that you have absolutely no grasp of the meaning of statistics.

So, you're assuming a loss to Edmonton? I'm not so sure about that.

Now you are just being stubborn and the team folded just to spite you.

I'm actually amazed at how unfazed at this I am. I lived through the terrible 80s, had my heart broken in the early-90s, got teased again about 10 years ago and these last five or six years have just basically numbed me to it.

I'm happy when they win, but at this point I can't even bring myself to care when they don't. Life's too short to worry about a mediocre hockey team doing mediocre things.

Normally I like our chances against any offensive team, but we just suck so bad lately

I said "if" we blow it.  Which at the moment I wouldn't be betting against.

What we need tomorrow night is for Reimer to steal a game for us.  And I do think he should get the start.

He's assuming a loss to Vancouver.

He said "if" to Edmonton.

Logic sobs quietly in the corner...

Not being stubborn, just pointing out that you shouldn't be patting yourself on the back for something that you're still not right about.

 

[L K]

That was a whole lot of horrific defensive coverage tonight.  I could understand some of the odd man rushes but Calgary must have had 10 unimpeded one-timers in the slot tonight.  It was like watching NHL 97'

 

[TML fan]

The games still mean something right now. That's why they're terrible. Soon enough they won't mean anything and we can all enjoy some wins again!

Even tonight. They had to dig themselves a hole before they picked it up. They only play well when there is no pressure.

I don't think he's assuming a loss but they are at home. Anything can happen. I thought we had a couple breaks against them last game and we could have easily been on the losing end. I expect the Oilers to come out hard and if we get behind the 8 ball again like tonight it could be a different story.

Keep telling that yourself. I may have made an overstament that 10% is statistically no chance to win but its still an overwhelming odd especially for this team. They got smoked just like I suspected. In fact losing after 2nd they have lost 4 straight in past 4.

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

Guaranteed win night!

Called it!

I well remember early in the season saying I thought our problem would be scoring, not defense, and cw saying it would be defense.  How right he was.  And I mean the entire team defense.
