So resilient that they lost the series. So resilient. I think it was the shoulder tap 'Lets go' by Collie McDoggie. Maybe he should have tapped something else after Game 6 as well.

Could they pay for a new arena on their own?

They didn't make billions by owning a hockey team and building arenas.

Blowing a three goal lead inside of three minutes in a game is not "the exact same thing" as blowing a three goal lead in the space of a period. Go ahead and gloat. It was the worst collapse in modern SC playoffs history.

Having lived in various locations in Alberta (Calgary, Lacombe, Red Deer, Camrose, Jasper, Lethbridge, Okotoks) I would say that, if anywhere, Calgary is the outlier in this province and not part of the "real" Alberta, if there even is such a thing. Kind of a head-scratcher of a comment.

Yup and that is absolutely correct.
I'm not going to de-rail this thread too much but they are super cheap because they hoard cash, but guess who is out there right now buying up Properties and Equipment for pennies on the dollar?
They are the evil Empire. Its actually brilliant.
Remember all those people in the Layoffs thread being lambasted for not 'saving enough for a rainy day?'
Thats what CNRL does. They save. Then when prices crash they cash in.
Anyways, thats enough about that. CNRL are kind of the opposite of Not Good. I dont know about morally, I cant comment on that, but fiscally they tend to be very responsible.

We really need a crying baby emoji for all the Oiler fans and media. How long are they going to cry about this? A good team would have never let a 3-0 lead evaporate in the final 3 minutes. They put themselves in the position where a call could cost them. And I don't think that call was blown anyway. If Neanderthal Nurse hadn't been pushing Kesler into his own goalie that goal never happens!

I think all Oiler fans that sign up to this site should have to use a crying baby as their avatar for at least the first year of their tenure.

It was an EPIC collapse. One of the worst that I've EVER SEEN.
