Didn't the greasers scout Reinhardt? Did I miss something or did he regress at some point?

If the Oilers closed the book on every bad deal or failed player the book would never open.

High draft pick and played in Edmonton as an Oil King in junior. That's a double whammy the Oilers love.

From TSN磗 10 questions previewing the season. Point 1: Will McDavid win the scoring race? First sentence: 创McDavid, 19, rocketed into the NHL’s top stratosphere last month with his official coming out party at the World Cup of Hockey. 创

He wasn磘 even a top 2 player on that team

The McDavid hype might've rocketed into the stratosphere, but his play certainly didn't stand out from the others. It seemed like the media/league decided even before the tournament started that he was going to be the star of the tourney, and kept going with that storyline regardless of results.

Why does the media have to bring sexual preference into a hockey story? To me it's irrelevant what McDavid does in his own time outside of hockey.

Last night I spent in the company of a number of Tier 1 and Tier 2 Greaser fans. There was broad consensus that Kris Russell was the #2 player on the ice during Saturday's game against the Canucks. Perhaps he was, perhaps he wasn't. I asked if Tier 1 and 2 fans should be happy when a player who has had no preseason training, and just signed, is the 2nd best player on the ice? Concerned looks back and forth.
Also, it seems as if the Mullet is a really nice place to go to a hockey game unless you have a couple of the $20 beers; apparently the bathrooms are a mess and broad agreement from the Tier 1 and Tier 2 fans that it is just as bad as Rexall and Commonwealth. They actually spent more time complaining about the bathrooms than they did talking about the upcoming season. it didn't take long to hear 5-1 on cups though, although the 10 year drought is a great comeback!
There was even a canucks fan there, who proclaimed that, although he attended the riots, and was actually literally there in the middle of them ("both of the big ones" was said with pride), he wasn't "in" the riots. I asked if that was because his loot wasn't humblebrag worthy! But that's for the Vancouver is no good thread!

It's 2016 and I just think talk of Connor's coming out party is irrelevant and they should keep the discussion hockey related.

I don't think the joke was pretending but I do think he was just having fun with the wording. What's the problem with that?
