Every once in a while, my conversations with my Oiler fan friend provide wonderful comedy.
Him: We signed your old defenseman today
*blah blah blah, accurate assessments of Russell's game from both of us*
Me: You're omitting the move that led to Russell's signing: the trade of Yakupov for some styrofoam packing peanuts.
Him: Haha, yeah. Oh well.
Me: Yup, "Oh well, we ruined this 1st overall pick, we'll just get another one next year." Classic Oilers
Him: Well, he won't do well under Hitch in StL.
Me: Maybe, but it's just as likely that he pulls a Dubnyk.
Him: Hitch hates one way guys. That may be the only place worse than Edmonton for him.
Me: No place is worse than Edmonton. It's a scientific fact.
Him: Funny.
Me: It's funny cuz it's true.
Him: Once again, you should probably worry about signing your own players.
Me: Ah deflection, the classic Oiler fan move, and a sign that the conversation is not going well for them.
Him: ....*golden silence*....
This is honestly how it goes most of the time. At a certain point he just gives up. It's kinda sad really.
