There is so much awesome in this photo.
The guy wearing 28 is really, really upset.
The guy to his right (our left) is thinking: "What the hell is this crap? This is what my son does for a living?"
The guy with his eyes closed is silently chanting: "Serenity now! SERENITY NOW!!"
And my personal favourite is the guy wearing #18 who looks like he is seriously contemplating having a long and serious discussion with his son about his life goals and ambitions and if this is really what he should be doing with his life. He could always give this all up and live a respectable life working at 'The Carpet Barn' where he wouldnt be subject to constant ridicule.

I saw Brad Treliving's dad Jim was wearing a Flames sweater with '18 on it on their dad's trip. Maybe dads of management staff? It would certainly explain the looks on their faces if it's Chia's dad.

I was thinking how HF loves to make regional super teams. How many Oilers would make team Alberta?
I'm thinking Mcdavid, Draisitl, RNH and maybe Koskinen.
Even if we could pick any player we wanted off the Oilers those are the only 4 who you'd even look at. There's a legitimate case not a single one of their defensemen would crack our top 6.

Because they dont want people to know who their son is.
Its the 'jersey of shame.'
"Do you want to wear your son's jersey number?"
- No....I'll just wear my jean-jacket.
"You MUST wear a jersey."
- Oooookay.....I'll take the generic '2018' please....

Found on the Canucks HF boards
"Aberg being waived by Edmonton at the start of the season while they now search for anything resembling a top-6 winger is too funny."

I found this amusing exchange on the "other forum":

Here is my team makeup that I feel the next GM should work with for next season
Blank - McDavid - Draisaitl
Blank - RNH - Blank
Caggiula - Blank - Chiasson
Blank - Brodziak - Blank
Klefbom - Larsson
Blank - Blank
Russell - Bouchard
Koskinen
Blank
Have to find a way to dump Sekera, Lucic and Kassian. I'd move Nurse+ for for a top 6 winger for RNH. I'd move one of Puljujarvi/Yamamoto+ for a middle second pairing defender. I'd look to sign another second pairing defender in free agency
Could also probably find a decent 3c as well in free agency.

If we get some young players to actually pan out here this year and next, we could have a very deep team.

everytime I watch Nurse play I wonder what other people are thinking. He was really hyped as this top pairing physical guy, but I just see a better skating Dennis Gauthier with a better shot.

The Flames are doing Chicago and Columbus, so I wouldn't throw stones. Both teams probably wanted to do something different than the usual golf and hockey trip in California that they seem to do every year.

Presumably, like the Flames, anyone who is there for someone who isn't one of the players just gets the year as their number.

That's Russell's dad. He's realizing that these trips were much better when Kris played for the Flames.

Dad's tour 2018 would explain the use of '18' must be for those without another number to use. Dads of management makes sense.

^ Yeah, no different than Papa Treliving wearing 18 for the Flames Dad trip.

This dad takes the cake for me.
He's seen some sh_t for sure, but the nightmares he's going to experience after watching the game last night may just haunt him for life.

He's the one who used to be a rodeo bullfighter. Nothing he has seen before was as scary as watching the Oilers without McDavid.

I've seen every one of those looks at various times in my life from my dad.
When I bought home horrible report cards
When I was suspended from school for a week
When I accidentally burned down my neighbours garage
None of them good, but that picture gives me flashbacks.

IIRC from the broadcast last night when they introduced them all he's actually the son of one of the staff.

Only 3 top 6 forwards and 2 top 4 defencemen to fill in. No biggie.
