Edmonton is No Good VI: Chia•den•freu•de

[Macindoc]

Yeah, Taylor wanted to be there. Before he was traded, that is, and discovered how much better it was to be anywhere else (come on, this is New Jersey we're talking about).

I see nothing in the quotes from Hall that would suggest he would want to go back. He basically said that he was more loyal to the team than they were to him. Does that sound like someone who wants to go back?

[Monahammer]

I have a feeling Taylor will never be interested in playing in Edmonton again.

I know its unlikely, but I'd love for the flames to take a shot at him. He'd look great in a better shade of red

Why would he go back to a place that gave him so much vitriol when they were trying to explain the Larsson deal? Hall was MVP without a top 10 centre so that shouldn't bother him either. The whole 'free agents want to play with mcdavid' thing is given far too much weight and has only really worked once, with Lucic. Where would they find the money for hall?

File this one in the trash can with the rest.

Finally, owner Daryl Katz is building something of a Fantasy Island for Oilers players in Edmonton with his arena district development and its luxury, high-rise condos and exclusive bars and restaurants, all within walking distance of a state-of-the-art dressing room and practice facility."

Well, at least they got the name right!

We have McDavid so we can overpay for underwhelming free agents!

Sounds like a pretty no good strategy to me.

We have a safety meeting before work every morning, and today I wore my nice black on black flames hat my kid gave me. Right off the bat, I was getting cat calls from the guys. My comeback was simple, "Edmonton has one of the best players in the league, yet they consistently suck really bad. And you give me the gears?"
No more cat calls after that.

Not a fan of this new thread title, it's messing with my head and restricting me from posting some new "no good" stuff.

Please change it!

[BACKCHECK!!!]

A reminder that even in the HTML realm, Edmonton is no good.

Agreed, new title is horrible.

I think it's perfect. Could maybe do without the dots but the actual Chiadenfreude works too well not to use it.

Yup no dots. It's not a joke if you have to explain it

Agreed, without dots it's much better. The dots are as no good as the Oilers.

I do not understand how anyone could dislike this most recent title, especially when I've seen no alternative titles suggested that could possibly be better. Is this just a symptom of a society where everyone likes to complain just for the sake of complaining?

Maybe. But I thinks it’s just cuz the title is actually bad.

Not only dislike it, but dislike it to the point of “restricting ability to post” or whatever ridiculous hysterical statement was just posted. It’s a thread title. It has no bearing on anything and shouldn’t impact what’s posted.

[---Hatrick---]

Regardless of what everyones opinion is of the new title, we can all agree on one thing....

Edmonton is no good.

I just don't understand how the dots need explaining.

Easy. Those complaining about it have likely looked up words in a dictionary a mere handful of times in their lives. That's my assumption anyway.

I just don't think you have to break it up by syllable in order to make it good. That's Haiku's job

LOL, granted. But that's a pretty minor thing, no?
