Ok this lame ass attempt at a GDT is courtesy of me forgetting to do up a nice picture last night and being stuck at work with only Paint at my disposal.
Canada looks to improve their record to 3-0-0 tonight against Slovakia. After tonight, there is one more game to go in the preliminary round for the Canadians (vs. the United States on Thursday). If you haven’t been watching, you really should tune in and take a look at one of our young stars in action (Jordan Eberle). He’s played pretty phenomenally.

Yeah, Eberle is as expected doing great sitting tied for first with his teammate Gabriel Bourqe for first in points in the tourney with 7 points(3G, 4A apiece)but what I am real happy to see is that other Oiler prospects are doing pretty good as well. MPS is in 7th place with 5 points and Anton Lander is tied in the 11th spot with 4. So far the Oilers have 3 prospect in the top dozen. I doubt that any other NHL team has that many!!!
I like our drafting lately if there is one positive for the Oil.

It’s nice to cheer for a competitive team if even for so short a time. Got an Olympic jersey under the tree so I’ll wear it with pride again tonight. At least for this game my dad and I will cheer together.
Won’t be the case tomorrow night at the Leafs game… Not sure why I bought tickets, but hopefully Christmas is still close enough for one more Christmas miracle.
EH OH!!! Uh… How’s the rest go?
Anyone hear this trademarked cheer break out in a game yet?
Yes, I heard the cheer… kind of faint. How embarrassing. Come on people. Tell Pepsi to go F#@* themselves (he says, while sipping from his bottle of Diet Pepsi).
And you will give your Dad, the Leafs fan, the ultimate present… a rare game where he actually gets to see his team win!
The fuck you should be completely ignoring them when they try to start it.
And then just start chanting ca-na-da
also, canada lost at the spengler today
Sweetness!! Good hockey will be played, also Russia plays tonight.
I don’t really get why they run the Spengler at the same time as the World Jr.s… I only have so much time in the day, and I would rather watch future stars hand out a whupping than club teams playing…
I am definitely making it my New Years resolution to go to more Pats games here in Regina. Can’t wait to put Eberle on an Oilers Jersey.
Nice… I saw Eberle once here when he played the Oil Kings. Was less than impressed, but it was only one game. That was last year too. Things change.
MPS has 3 points tonight so far
damn, forgot that game started already. Should have setup the PVR before heading to work this morning.
He’s getting a lot of points (MPS), but the one game I watched him, he was alright but not great. I’m still optimistic about him, but just saying that he’s earned a few points from good linemates too.
Ether way MPS is now the tourneys leading point getter with 8!!! Probably just temporary as Eberle should get some in the game coming up!!! Just gotta love the fact that our Oiler prospects are running the Stats department in the tourney so far:)
Today he looked a lot better, primary cross ice assist, driving and shooting
Didn’t he get the game winner as well?
Game is still going
Eberle possible assist on goal #1..
Yup… assist #1 tonight
Wasn’t sure Eberle was in on that one, but he earned one for the abuse in the crease.
And there’s the 3rd goal!
Hall is gonna be great. Sure hope we can get first dibs on him.
Our power play is ridiculously good. If only Edmonton had 1/2 the powerplay these guys do. Of course, their opponents aren’t exactly stellar PKers either.
Just finished watching the Sweden/Russia Game…
Sweden dominated for the most part, and when they didn’t Markstrom looked fantastic in net.
MPS looked good as well with another 3 points(1G/2A).
It would be awesome to see Eberle/MPS finish 1-2 in tournament scoring, and seeing MPS getting silver to Eberle’s gold.
Wow, Hall is certainly making a case for my desire to tank for him.
How is it not 4-0? Nice puck movement.
Nice pass by Ebs on that near goal!!!
What talent pool does Canada pull from to make the Spengler roster?
Isn’t Canada’s spengler Cup team made up mostly of Canadians who play thier hockey overseas?
Their goalie is playing pretty good so far. Tank for Halasz!
There are a couple of AHLers on the Spengler team, so they seem to pull from all over.
Usually over the hill old guys who don’t have jobs or are old AHL vets. Guys like Alexandre Daigle!
hehe…after watching Sweden play, it did get me wondering what we could do to finagle Markstrom from Florida.
All the guys in the Spengler Cup currently play on some random hack euro league team, with the exception of Doobie (the other Doobie goaltender).
I think the only criteria (if even) is non-NHLers.
yeah, a quick look at the roster and it just looked to me like a rag tag bunch of no-names or has-beens that aren’t needed anywhere else.
I’m happy we got Eberle in that draft, but I was actually hoping (at the time) that the Oilers drafted Markstrom instead and was upset when they didn’t. Of course time will tell on that. Eberle might stink the joint up in the NHL.. Markstrom might… one might be completely awesome.. who knows.
I think both will have good NHL careers though.
Didn’t Cujo play in the Spangler a few years back?
Good to see him getting a bit of work these days!
He did… meeting the “washed up ex-NHLer” criteria at the time.
Eberle just got rocked by Hrasko.. that’s gotta hurt
Keep yer head up Eberle! Pretty solid hit.
“GO CANADA GO!!!”
Take that Pepsi.
Where are all these big hits coming from?
Nice call on the dive there.. that was f’in horrible..
Nice game. Getting some nasty now.
Our future franchise player. Excellent.
MPS is nasty…..Eberle is nasty…..Hall??
This is the Slovak team I expected. Much better than last period.
Comrier = the new Moreau?
Bad penalty.
This team is taking too many penalties this game. Cormier shouldn’t be captain imo, too many selfish/stupid actions. I think Pietrangelo shoulda been captain.
I blame Gord Miller and Cormier for that shutout streak being broken.
And the shutout streak ends. I think it was Maguire who brought it up…
No kidding. STFU Gord!!
God I want this kid to be ours come draft day.
Very nice goal. This powerplay is dangerous.
