This was a tough game to lose, but the outcome in the long run did not matter as we got the placement in the playoffs we wanted. This is the first time I've been excited about Oiler hockey since before the turn of the century.

How far do you think they will make it in the playoffs? Seems like Colorado has had our (and everyone elses) number ever since they became a franchise.

Colorado; not so much anymore. Rapid City has them this season. Hell, even our last game up there we beat them pretty handily (5-1). This isn't last years or two season's back Oiler squad. There are some fairly skilled players on the team for this level. We've also had Mississippi's number this season (our record against them is 7-0-1, granted 4 of those were either in OT or a shootout) which I why I preferred having them as opposed to getting Odessa (whom we would have played had we slipped to 4th). I predict we will get past MS in the first round. Depends on who we play in the second round. If it's Allen, it doesn't bode too well (we're 2-4-1 against them), but they're not unbeatable. They have a great record sure, but playoffs is a whole different season. |

Pretty ugly. The guys underestimated this team I think due to the fact that we've owned them in the regular season. This is the playoffs, boys. All bets are off. I still think we can right the ship. But they need to send a message tonight with a solid win. We can beat them in their house, but they need to quit thinking it will be handed to them. |

The only guy we have that does, other than our elder (Fleck) is Brennan Barker, and he's injured. Guys tend to not fight as much in the postseason also. |

Well, the boys played a bit more physical tonight, but still lost. I've pretty much decided that as long as Lund is associated with this team, I'll not be attending games next season. Come on AHL.... |

Yeah, but it was still hockey, and then they got the affiliation which I thought might help. Helped the AHL team get a look at our boys and that was about it. The CHL is in trouble. |

Sorry but hockey ended in Tulsa with the hiring of Butch Kaebel....The only reason he had any success was with the last of Garys recruits..... |

Now that I agree with. Real hockey anyway. I think the CHL is in trouble to begin with; several teams are defecting either to the lower SPHL or the Juniors (NAHL). |

Well, if Tulsa ends up making a move, it wont be the AHL because of the proximity to OKC. So if we do move from the CHL, I'd prefer the NAHL. It's fun to watch and not expensive (but not cheap either).
