Better watch out NHL, Edmonton has something special... I mean, look at how Hallsy, Ebs, and the Nuge are DOMINATING you already!!!!

LMAO

Hall has finished top 10 in the league for points in back to back years. When is the last time someone from the Flames has done that?

[Frequitude]

Someone should have asked him if he had anything to say to potential ticket paying fans who are considering coming to games over the rest of the season.

So if the Oilers finish last, they still have a 100 per cent change of drafting a player widely regarded as a franchise player. Way better prospect than any of the guys they drafted with their previous #1 picks, and probably better than Stamkos or Tavares.

Ahhh that's the beauty of the new draft rules. They could still fall to 3rd pick.

Edit: Damn, looks like that doesn't come into effect until 2016 LAME!

We need better trolls.

I would bet large sums of money that the Oilers won't be competing for "Stanley Cups" (there's more than one?) in two years.

BTW, the new arena is scheduled to be done for 2016-17. You better hope that Katz et al have nothing to do with construction or it will be (a) late and (b) shoddily built.

WTH is the "worlds finest" drink?

Learn how to use apostrophes. It's not "nobody's".

Because fans and the media alike were demanding to hear from him.

2010-2011, back when you were on your 3rd rebuild.

While it may seem dark now in Edmonton it won't be long before you are pulling down the shades to try to shield yourself from the glare of the glory which will be arising from the ashes.

Hi Kevin, how are you doing?

Why? Sounds like you're perfectly fine with the 15-20 year rebuild plan.

That a lot of your life to dedicate to crap.

Wanna guess how many LA Kings were in the top 15 in scoring in 2011 or 2013? Wanna guess how many Bruins were in the top 15 in scoring in 2010? Hint: It's the number of playoff games the Oilers will be playing in this decade.

Must ask what makes you think that? You guys are a cap roof team at the bottom of the league, right?

While Calgary's a cap floor team near the top of the league........

Your team sucks, its obvious. Did you catch MacT's presser today? The past 11 games? Or the Past 7-years?

O boy I'm loving this, thanks for coming here.

Hahahaha, nice to see you back here. This is the same crap you've said many times in the past, look how it has all turned out.

How embarrassing for you.

Someone was bashing Hall and making it seem like he was a bust or failing to develop. Clearly not the case.

They're exactly right though. Lowe & MacT don't want to hear they are wrong.

[Igster]

Was amazing_oilers out drinking with MacT last night?
