And I believe the guy that made that claim actually is now part of the coaching staff in Edmonton...as an analytics "genius".

I expect a Staples opinion piece disputing the player's claim using made up stats to show up soon. At the end he calls the player a coward I bet as well.

I don’t think so.
 
AO72—while being extremely annoying—was always pretty sharp, quick witted and fairly articulate. This guy is, uh—less so.

I like Smith a lot (didn't think I would before last year) but any Vezina predictions are a joke.

Is that punch literally the reason we have Prout? I mean after the debacle that was Mike Smith having to stick up for himself last year against Lucic, I'm curious.

Punctuation is everything. The ‘Western Conference player” was McDavid.  This was a trade request. 
 
Take Connor away. And the oilers are the worst team in the league.

Really? If I'm Lucic I'm not dropping my gloves with Prout unless the Oilers are getting absolutely ragdolled.

Seriously though.
