Oilers @ Leafs - Nov. 1st, 7:30pm - TSN4, Fan 590

Washington throws out Ovechkin on the PK too. You're basically forced to never use his side of the ice if you know what's good for you.

I don't remember exactly, but didn't the Leafs used to have Sundin and Mogilny on the PK? Was the PK that worse off for it?

I found a reference to this: http://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/mogilny-scores-two-in-win-over-sabres-1.286595
Quinn even used him to kill a penalty.

"Pat told me, `You go.' I thought, `Me, are you kidding me?' "

The previous night in Detroit, the Red Wings used goal hog Brett Hull during a penalty kill against the Leafs.

"If Brett can do it, I can do it," Mogilny said, his subtle chuckle kicking in again.

I would like to take this time to remind everyone that the Oilers should be everyone's least favourite team and we should be rooting for them to fail horribly.

From the near-extortion of city council for a ridiculously expensive publicly funded arena to building their team through failure they are the epitome of everything wrong in modern sports.

If they do end up winning tonight or having success this year or future years, ask yourself, what does that mean? What bragging rights would an Oilers fan legitimately have because of that success? We all know pro sports is inherently an illogical thing but shouldn't it mean something, anything, more than failing your way upwards?

Their owner's a dink, the local media carries their water and they're just a product of rewarded incompetence. If this were an 80's action movie they wouldn't be the villain, they'd be the villain's weasel sidekick.

Their arena should burn down and Connor McDavid should retire to take up the flute.

Bassoon. Otherwise spot on, and timely.

Magnificent.
 
Leafs Pregame with Gord Stellick saying there's so many Connor McDavid friends and family in the building tonight they had to rent their own suite  :o

That's one of the quirks of this city, so many superstars who hail from the area are super-motivated to have a terrific game in front of the people that got them there.
 
So tonight's commentary team love McDavid almost as much as the team the other night loved Price.

Two pretty fast, exciting young teams here though. This could be a fun "rivalry" over the next few years
 
Number of times Nylander or Matthews makes an impossible pass out of/through a crowd to someone who got in behind the defense... and it ends up being Hyman...
