It was bad eh!? My favourite was the Leafs post game interview about McDavid. "So you guys won but how about that McDavid?"

When Robby Fabbri scored in his NHL debut against the Oilers (McDavid's debut as well) the very first thing out of the PBP guys mouth was CONNOR McDAVID'S CHILDHOOD FRIEND JUST SCORED HIS FIRST NHL GOAL!!

It's gross.

The only thing I'll give Gene is at least he tries to have fun with his job, he's not trying to be some obnoxious know-it-all. He's just goofy and talks about McDavid too much.

There's far worse in the Edmonton media. Bob Stauffer, Terry Jones, Drew Remenda, I'm sure there's more but those three always come across as the worst.

Trick question. All Edmonton media is no good. Even that Katz wannabe Gene.

Despite McDavid scoring 2 points a game the Oilers are still terrible and falling off a cliff lol. Wait until he makes 12M and the team surrounding him is ever worse.

Only 40 million spent on Lucic, Eberle, Pouliot, The Tenderness, Sekera, Klefbom, Larsson and Talbot. Plenty of space to fill out the roster.

But they'll have plenty of space when he goes on LTIR.

good read

http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/o...-loss-toronto/

key points:

Quote:
No matter how many new players the Oilers bring in, inevitably their DNA still produces games like this one. Games where they go “full Oilers” in the defensive zone, with missed assignments and wide open opponents standing in prime real estate in front of the net.
Quote:
Toronto only had 23 shots on net,
Quote:
the Oilers had more passengers than a 747 jet in losing their third straight game — all to teams in the bottom third of the NHL standings.
Quote:
• Nugent-Hopkins has one even-strength goal in 24 games this season. The first overall pick makes $6 million to be more than a checker, and his ineffective offensive game is crippling for the Oilers' depth scoring.

• Benoit Pouliot is a guy who might help pull Nugent-Hopkins out of his slump. Alas, he has one assist … wait for it … all season. Pouliot is closer to a buyout than the first line right now, all for the tidy sum of $4 million per for two more seasons after this one.

• Jesse Puljujarvi is the youngest player in the NHL, sure, but he also has just one goal. Fans here want him to replace Jordan Eberle on the top power-play unit, and the refusal to do so is getting harder and harder to justify. On the other hand, he has not been effective, which makes a promotion difficult.
TLDR:

E=NG

Thanked for use of "The Tenderness."

Funny thing is, we all saw RNH become a pretty good player at the World Cup.

Now he is very disappointing again.

I don't get it. Same coach...

Oh, right.. Edmonton sucks. I love how his value must be dropping, and whatever team picks him up will end up with a pretty good player.

You missed the best of the bunch - David Staples.

The standard of his content is truly mind boggling. He is the definition of no good.

Look who he was surrounded by though.

The bottom line with RNH is he's a decent defensive player who's small and weak over a long schedule and lacks motivation for big chunks of the season.

He's a 6 million dollar per year player because Oilers management was weak in negotiating with him.

He's a part of the problem, the man has no spine.

How could I forget David Staples? He's also no good.
