Take away McJesus from that list and it's a non playoff team.

Yeah, there is just never any excuse to behave like this. This is what I expect from Oilers fans.

Why are you bragging about this? This is pathetic and the result of being one of the worst professional sports teams for over a decade. Jesus, what a pack of total losers.
Isn't his point home grown vs. acquired?? Why has he only included 1st rounders? What a putz

Andersson, kylington, Mangiapane, Backlund, Dube.

Add McLeod (40) to the Oilers list, lol. Best pick out of the first round for them in years.

yeah for sure the Oilers have the Flames beat hands down in players taken with top 3 picks (as the Flames have never had one)


in non top 3 picks its
Yamamoto, Pujularvi, McLeod, Holloway, Nurse, Bouchard (Skinner, Broberg)


versus
Backlund, Mangiapane, Dube, Andersson, (Ruciza, Kylington)

ended up listening to a bit of the Oilers feed in the 1st, Stauffer threw out this stat, but even moreso said the Flames had only one (they acknowledged that Backlund always plays the Oilers well) but that the Oilers had 8 with 'several more on the way' (presumably the Flames do not)

they have that many first round picks on the roster because they sucked for 15 years .. D'OH

flames have mid rounders on their roster because they can actually draft talent when its not on the front page of the scouting magazines

When you're so bad the NHL has to change the rules of the draft, you really shouldn't be bragging about it.

Cringe levels of epic proportions for anyone who would order one of these.
On the flip side, wish I thought of this to sell to Oilers fans, would have been easy money
Are there any media at all in Edmonton that AREN'T unabashed fanboys?

Ya, but if you don't have a radar gun you can't PROVE that anybody else is speeding so you should probably just shut up or something

I know posting reddit links is a bit lame, but there is a lot of really interesting discussion in this one - 10/10 would read again:

I see now on Twitter Oilers fans calling for Holland to go all in on Chychrun…… he’s the answer. They are fantastic.

SDPN this year has game over series with after-game podcasts by fans of each Canadian team.

Even the Oilers fans recognize the propensity of their coaches to resort to the nuclear McDrai option and how they can't resist as it's like crack to them.

I got suspended from HF Oilers for the second time. I rarely ever post there and only have like 130 posts since they started, and 10 posts since they re-booted everything. They are such a sensitive group.

The first suspension was because I disagreed when someone said Kevin Lowe was the most respected person in hockey. This time I made a post saying that it sucks that they signed Campbell for 5 years because he isn't a legit #1 goalie and that Skinner will be the better of the two as soon as this year. Sure, not a pleasant thought for their fans, but not overly mean or anything. I also made the point of saying it had as much to do with Skinner showing progression as Campbell just not being good. Their own fans in the thread were saying much worse than that. The only difference is that I have a Flames oriented username.
