I know Aberg was nothing to write home about, and I can't say I would be interested in him for the Flames, but when the Oilers first picked him up everything was golden, and he was huge potential for a 4th. Now, a day after he is claimed it is "addition by subtraction" time in Edmonton. And the hype machine roles on.   |
It's as if they can do no wrong this time of year. Everything that happens is either excusable or a huge win or anywhere in between.
Playoffs are suddenly impending again, roster fodder become budding stars on the brink, mcdavid is poised to break records from the 80s and the previously incompetent GM who urinated away multiple great assets is now actually helping the team by losing another asset for nothing!
Saturday the Flames dominate early and the play by play team make sure to remind everyone several times that the impending flight has the oilers distracted and uninterested. Smith poops the bed and they tie it, and suddenly we don't hear anything about it again.
The pig has more make up than Johnny Depp in a Disney flick. Making what's to follow all the more entertaining.
