Hockey Noob: Racki, watching Taylor Hall and Eberle almost makes watching the Oilers lose palatable. Does that make me a bad fan of the Oilers?

I want Hall bad

Racki: Oh and Eberle was also robbed of an assist.. not sure how they managed to do that, but I believe they credited Pietrangelo with an assist that Eberle should have had. Peitrangelo was nowhere near touching the puck. Just watched it again now too, to confirm… yup.. Eberle robbed of an assist. 3 point night for Eberle, by my books. Doesn’t seem like much in a 16-0 game, but he still played well.That said, if the points were given out correctly, that would put Eberle in a tie for 3rd in scoring in today’s game. Also, only Bourque had more goals than him tonight.

Ok, TSN had him with one goal. Thanks for clearing that up for me. Didn’t really read through the thread so I didn’t see MPS’s 5 point post haha. Got home from work and watched the trash of a game tongiht was.

And Eberle had two goals, not one goal.

And no you shouldn’t be concerned.. he played well. Sometimes it happens. One player had 7 points tonight (Bourque), others probably had a lot less. That’s sometimes how it goes in blowouts.

On Eberle, I figured with 16 goals, he would have a few goals/ points. Only 1 goal tonight and that was his only point. Should we be concerned? I didn’t watch so I don’t know if they used him less as the game became more of a blow out.
