Default E=NG (The Compendium)

The E=NG threads are great for discussion, debate and memes.

But sometimes when you get randomly chirped by a Greaser fan because they beat us in the playoffs two years ago or they won a bunch more Cups in the 80s, it's important to have factual comebacks close at hand.

So I thought we could have a thread that's a complement to the E=NG threads where we collect factual points, statistics, comparisons that are posted in the main E=NG threads or that we come across elsewhere that will help keep those cocky bastards quiet.

I'll start by adding two important dates:

Leon Draisaitl UFA Countdown:
End of 2024/25 Season

Connor McDavid UFA Countdown:
End of 2025/26 Season

Not too surprising that Eichel won a Cup before McDavid given the history...

do we really need two Edmonton threads? Reeks of Regina George "why are you so obsessed with me?" territory.

Edmonton has had more 1OA picks than 5 of the 6 original 6 teams!

LOL

E=NG is, in fact, a fact.

Never understood people's obsession with Edmonton...the best way to get back at these people is to ignore them. Responding or feeding the trolls is what they want.

The NHL draft started just a few years before expansion.

E=NG

The team that's been given so much but achieved so little.

I am pretty sure I read this in the Bible somewhere ...

"All the threads on CalgaryPuck would not be enough to contain all of the no-goodness of Edmonton. E=NG."

... or, something.

Disagree.

Having a quick reference for some of the stats if handy. I can't tell you how many times I have gone through those E=NG threads trying to dig up some stat I read months before.

I have to take a shower after.
