Because of the thread title and the general feeling of malaise I have implored Commissioner Bettman to start the season early.
Drop the Puck!
Also the Oilers should begin their season playing games in Outer Mongolia, and if their exit Visas happen to disappear well, accidents happen all the time.
I understand that the average Yurt is quite comfortable as far as hastily thrown together temporary shelters go, the Oilers ought to be used to sub-par hastily constructed crap.

Yurts are awesome. Don't disparage them by insinuating they're suitable for the Oilers.

It absolutely amazes me how terrible the oilers’ prospect depth is considering how long they’ve been picking high in every round of the draft. And during that time they have only once spent assets/draft picks to acquire “NHL talent” and that was the 1st round pick for Reinhart trade (hahahahaha!!).
Outside of that disaster they have had nothing but extra picks to go with their already gift draft picks. You would think that would mean their either have
(A) lots of young, talented depth at the NHL level or
(B) a deep prospect pool of talented players knocking on the door for NHL spots.
But the oilers have neither of those things.
I would say the flames have graduated to a level where they have plenty of (A) but are still using their late picks for high risk/high reward prospects to try and restock the cub boards. And the flames only had 3 years of high picks in the draft during their rebuild. The oilers have had a decade+ of that.
I don’t know if there is any team in the league as inept at developing players as the oilers are. Their only hopes are top five picks in the draft because they usually require less development... but even then, the oilers find ways to screw them up.

Saying that no one knows of or uses the term schadenfreude is an extraordinarily Edmonton thing to say, it’s a bad look.
Is it a big word? Yes. Is it absolutely a perfect play on words for this thread? Definitely. Keep the title, you don’t have things work out this perfectly very often.

Very, very prescient.
Boston plays in the greasers home opener on October 18.
Game in Outer Mongolia? Check.
Visas disappear and accidents happen? Connor can’t leave now. Check.
Hastily thrown together shelter? Rogers checks out. Check.
Sub par hastily thrown together crap? Oilers starting roster says hi. Check.
Check, check, check and check.
It is almost as if you knew that e=ng. Hehheh. Who are we kidding? Everyone knows that!
E=ng

It helps to make it easier to read for the 90% of us that don’t speak Spanish.

No Italics? Shame. The title needs to be in Italics.
I demand, therefore it is.
