Everything after that (if you couldn't somehow tell from his writing alone) is disregarded because he's obviously got his rose glasses on.

Pros like Duhatschek wouldn't ever say they're a "Flames fan".

And I'd hope that Flames fans would ask for better if he tweeted that "everything's fine here folks, D'Artagnan Joly will be here next year!!!"

It's missing future Oiler Jack Hughes and Alexis Lafrenière. Can never have too many first overall picks, and Oilers strive to catch em' all.

And aged veteran Neugent-Hopkins will be 28, and up for resigning after that magical 6 x 6 era. My how time flies by!

This tweet is shades of Lowe’s legendary letter to fans 10 years ago where he promised young talent like Schremp, Jacques, Nilsson, *Stortini, and O’Marra would bring a Stanley Cup back to Edmonton. It’s hard to tell what’s parody when it comes out of Edmonton because this could easily be from Chia’s twitter.


*not even joking he listed Stortini

NBC just pushed a video on Twitter that focuses on how McD is learning from “Edmonton royalty”. Chalked full of so much no goodness. Wish I knew how to insert...

Is it this mind-numbingly stupid video?
Connor McDavid, Edmonton Oilers out to prove doubters wrong

Also, did anyone hear Oilers PBP Jack Michaels's call on the S/O winner from last night? Check out 05 December, 8:00 PM audio segment, @ the 46:00 mark.

Jack Michaels is a buffoon.

Holy crap that McDavid video was tough to watch.

How has this franchise not learned yet to stop tooting their horn from middle of the tire fire? Do something, then talk about it. Stop talking about what you did generations ago, and what you think you're going to do someday. That is a recipe for embarrassment (and has been for you already).

I don't hear the Coyotes blabbing on and on about how legendary they're going to be - and there's a damn good reason for it. If anyone from the Flames came out with a similar video right now I'd be pretty red-faced over it as well.

The only people I've ever met that bragged about what they were going to do were lazy, incompetent and more than likely never took a hard look at what they were actually producing. It's pretty odd that McDavid would not only tolerate such mediocrity, but promote it. A winner, in my books, would take a hard look at what group they've cobbled together and ask what would happen if he wasn't there. A winner would be offended - not yammering on about how awesome everything can be someday.

That he feels compelled to yell this from the bottom of the league should speak volumes about how concerned they know fans should be. I'm shifting a little from "I can't wait for Conner to demand a trade" to "I hope the supposed 'best player in the world' wastes away his entire career with the Oilers".
