The annual rites of spring... - Calgarypuck Forums - The Unofficial Calgary Flames Fan Community

Although it wasn't directly at the hands of Owen Nolan in 2008,

(http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=3324952)

or Jarome Iginla's 52nd goal in 2003, the worst kept secret in the NHL this year officially occurred this afternoon. The Edmonton Oilers are officially out of this year's NHL playoffs for the 5th straight year.

Sometimes lost in the overabundance of Canucks banter on this site, the city of Edmonton were, are, and will continue to be the perpetual natural hated rivals for Calgary. So no matter the Flames fortune's this year, or any year, its always satisfying to watch the Oilers fail. Epically.

So:

Now that one "Drive for 5" is completed, I have full confidence given the management up there, that the next "Drive for 5" for finishing in the toilet of the league, is well within reach up the QEII.

good lord browna what have you done ....were cursed now ....here come the golf club jokes now.

HotHotHeat · 03-13-2011, 04:39 PM

Another year down the drain! Edmonton is especially talented at sucking with consistency.

I sincerely thank them for what they provide, which is, a team that is always last in the NW.

Better luck next year losers.

They're building something REALLY special up there - question is, is it Chicago special, or Joey Moss special???

I say the latter.

The Oilers are Rebuilding and though it make take a while for them to get going once again.Feaster should have this on his mind to for the summer.

TylerSVT · 03-13-2011, 10:59 PM

How many 1st overall picks do they want?

killer_carlson · 03-14-2011, 08:37 AM

It's missing the most popular elementary school musical instrument, the Xylophone, no?

History will be made...on the golf course.

Battle of Alberta Golf Tournament begins April 13.

Red Deer G & CC.

If we only played in the East.

Neither the Edmonton Oilers, nor the Calgary Flames have qualified for the 2010-2011 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

This must surely be disappointing for the supporters of both hockey clubs.

Yes, bumping a 5 year old thread. First day of Spring 2016 may as well be groundhog day, with the Oilers officially out of the playoffs with the loss tonight, yet again.

Best part is, the Oilers are getting worse. With Florida likely to make the playoffs, will be the longest streak out of the playoffs in the league, to go along with all the other dubious records of futility that the organization can fill the trophy cases with.

There was no HD broadcasts of hockey in Canada, nor was there twitter, the last time the Oilers were in the playoffs in 2006.

Big thanks to Kevin Lowe and all his minions for driving that organization into the ground, that not even 3 first overall picks, and 4 picks in the top 3 since the OP, can pull the team out of.

Let's let Steam take it away, again:

powderjunkie · 03-20-2016, 10:27 PM

Reading the first post in this thread, everything seemed right until it said it was their fifth straight year missing the playoffs. I guess we can double it now.

Dion · 03-20-2016, 10:28 PM

Spoiler!

Now that one "Drive for 5" is completed, I have full confidence given the management up there, that the next "Drive for 5" for finishing in the toilet of the league, is well within reach up the QEII.

Sorry to be that guy, but...

Jarome Iginla scored 35 goals in 2003. 52 in 2002.

The Oilers haven't made the Playoffs since 2006 - what are you going on about?

I fail to see what the 'Drive for 5' means, unless you mean the 'Drive' for 5 first-overall picks - and that hasn't been completed.
