Ride Bachman all the way to the Cup baby!
Stephen King played very well in regulation and overtime, will definitely get the next start.
Baby got Bach

This reminds me of what happened to me while I was watching the game last night. My wife comes downstairs after putting our daughter back to bed and says who is that in net for the Oilers. I reply, "Richard Bachman". She asks, "is that his real name?" So I say, "no. His real name is Stephen King but people get him mixed up with someone else all the time."
Stephen King gets the start tonight against the Leafs. Maybe they'll bring CUJO out of retirement for this one......

League has been running continuously since 1997-98
I'd be fine with him pulling a Jim Carey and giving us a 35 win season - even if it's just the one time he tops 20 wins and only gets double digit wins one more time in his career :P.
Don't see anyone getting 35 wins with a .906 sv % these days though haha.
How do you win the Vezina when your save percentage is 17th in the entire league???

Feel good about tonight's game. Oilers will play with more confidence with Bachman in net and Gagner back, and the Leafs are a good team for the Oilers to beat up on.
Stephen King is one hit wonder.............
Well, time for a rebuild! Wait.....what? Oh......right. Thats... depressing.
Oilers are a horrible team right now. Not sure what Eakins is up to, but I hope he has a plan and we start to see it by the half way mark.
TML is a legit team and will make the playoffs. Beating the Oilers isn't much to call home about though.
The one guy I publicly said the Oilers should have pursued this year - Mason Raymond. Great pick-up.
Hah... I'm not calling home about anything. Beating the Oil definitely isn't something to be proud of.
I just find it amusing that doulos seems to believe that the top team in the eastern conference is apparently "a good team to beat up on" for the worst team in the entire league. Someone please explain that logic to me
In all fairness, TML may be first in the standings today, but it's not likely they'll remain there. They are a contender, top four even, but they won't be the #1 seed in the East come playoffs.
Regarding doulos........well, it's not easy being an Oil fan right now..........maybe just cut him a bit of slack.
