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.

Alex Petriangelo looks like a man amongst boys out there.

On the powerplay, Kadri makes a great play to prevent the Latvians from breaking out of the zone. He dishes to Eberle who makes a nice drop pass to Pietrangelo and drives to the net. Pietrangelo’s shot is mishandled by the Latvian goalie, and Eberle bangs in the rebound.

The Canadians have now made it 11-0, at the end of 2. Yikes. It would be nice if the IIHF changes things up so that goal differential doesn’t play a part in teams racking up scores.

Kozun just scored on a cross-seam one timer on the PP.. 9-0 nearing the end of 2.

All speed there. 2 on 1.. defender dives to break up the pass, but it gets to Eberle and he just redirects the pass in.

My nightmares have come true… the Canadian fans have bought into Pepsi marketing and are chanting “eh, oh, Canada go”
