What a loser.<br /><br />It bugs the $#!+ out of me how some Oiler "fans" continuously dump on this career Oiler. All he has ever done is work his butt off for the club while working his way up the depth chart and pay scale. For the latter some simply won't forgive. Meanwhile, Oiler management is pilloried for not signing Ryan Smyth and subsequently lettin him go, and also pilloried for signing Horcoff and not letting him go. They can't win.Brucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01190620732067746768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648556457874572949.post-45306540597338621712009-05-10T22:04:00.000-06:002009-05-10T22:04:00.000-06:00Amazing - eight hours after the game, and I have y...Amazing - eight hours after the game, and I have yet to see a single Oilogosphere or Oiler message board post blaming today's loss by Team Canada on Shawn Horcoff.<br /><br />Upon second viewing, Team Canada sure as shit didn't generate much in the way of high-quality chances in the third period, at least by my eye.<br /><br />And someone should have served up a Sherwood Sandwich to one Alex Radulov.

He shouldn't be in the Olympic discussion, and my belief that trading Horcoff+ for him (because, you know, he's a "true first line center" and such) would not make the Oilers a better team has been firmly reinforced.<br /><br />On the other end of the spectrum, write Shea Weber's name on any projections for the Olympic roster in Bic ballpoint, and someone get Dan Hamhuis a plane ticket to the summer evaluation camp!HBombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00698318464039120244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648556457874572949.post-65391392113070638852009-05-10T14:55:00.000-06:002009-05-10T14:55:00.000-06:00Btw, I'm starting to really hate Alex Radulov.Btw, I'm starting to really hate Alex Radulov.Brucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01190620732067746768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648556457874572949.post-27535145716894970342009-05-10T14:50:00.000-06:002009-05-10T14:50:00.000-06:00Heartbreaker.
