POLL: Pick the New E=NG Thread Title! E=NG Bracket Challenge R1.4
It is time to open a new chapter in the epic tale of E=NG, Edmonton is no good.
Since at least 2014, the common practice here has been to close the last version and start a new thread in an effort to keep the site software from lagging after threads get too big. Pho recommended starting a new one after 10,000 posts, which has usually coincided with a new season.
It is late this year, probably because of the weird wrinkle in the universe fabric that saw the Oilers in the second round of the playoffs last spring. But then, since the start of the season on 10 October there have been 2,165 posts, so it is definitely time.
We are doing something a little different, and have turned the naming of the next E=NG thread into a bracket challenge. There are eight choices, and we will go three rounds to find everyone’s favourite. Since 2019 the common practice has been to draw names for the threads from from statements made by members within the organisation or media, or published statements made about the team. The following eight title choices have come from comments just since opening night.
There will be a thread dedicated to each bracket in each round, and each round will run for 24 hours.
Round 1.1
"Not f###ing good enough”
v.
“That might be it. Yup.”
Round 1.2
Mud, Sweatpants and Tiers (based on Woodcroft's statement from 19 October: “We’re in a mud puddle right now.”)
v.
"Great Observation, Thanks"
Round 1.3
“Cup or Bust!” —Turns out, it’s “Bust.”
v.
“Stanley Cup Contenders in 32nd Place”
“The All-Consuming Pursuit of the Next Solution”
v.
"We're kind of back to drip, drip, drip"
We will launch the new thread on the weekend.

Out of the selections it has to be Mud, Sweatpants and Tiers. All the rest pale in comparison.

I'll save you time
All Consuming Pursuit and Cup Contenders in 32nd are by far and away the best options.
The only poll you need

I'd vote for that if it was "Blood" instead of "Mud". The quote/excerpt it's borrowing from has to be obvious enough.
Using "Mud" based off an obscure Woodcroft quote that 90% of people didn't see makes it too confusing and less funny.

I guess the thread titles have been from Oilers Org
quotes, but some of the greats were originals from our posters.
I always thought "New Rink, Same Stink" and "Same Crap, Less Cap" were gold. And how would we ever have had "Chia_denfreude" relying on quotes. Should be room for those sorts of gems if anyone posts one.
Like Edmonton is No Good XI: Connor GMcDavid, (But better)

"Great Observation, Thanks"
This has to sum up the attitude of that entire team. Especially pissy
