To put that another way... 12 of Edmonton's 18 skaters today have 2 or less goals on the season!

We keep saying today, but it's not like they just traded off 4 of their top 6 forwards. They only lost the great Drake who is barely an NHL player.

How did anyone think this was a playoff team?
Better yet, how were they a SC contender the season prior? Same crappy team.

Just in case you needed more evidence of their no goodness.

Fireworks at 9 p.m. this year.

That’s right. Edmonton is so committed to provincial unity, it’s encouraging us to ring in the New Year by watching Calgary’s midnight fireworks on TV instead.

Or, go to bed early. As the City of Edmonton Twitter account declared: “Party like it’s 2019 from 6-9 p.m.”

Nurse and Petrovic is their #1 pairing tonight?

Oh my goodness. Even by Oiler standards that's terrible.

Petrovic and Nurse as their top pairing, they're putting together two guys with a collective hockey IQ of a brick.


Plus they're going up against Winnipeg's top line.


Its going to be like a walking dead marathon.

That's because you don't normally make nicknames out of surnames. When you do shorten surnames, however, there is no rule that you can't change the spelling to preserve pronunciation.

‘Nich’ would not be pronounced ‘Nick’ by any sane English-speaking person. It would be ‘nitch’. A very Scottish speaker might pronounce the CH as in ‘loch’.

Seriously how much more of this garbage can McDavid take? Either he's dead inside and has accepted the fact that this is his life now and will play out his contract here while being miserable or he's on the brink of asking for a trade.

By the look on his face, he's been dead inside since the day he was drafted.

^ I thought people were joking when they said how beat down Chia looks.
Man, someone should lean in and put their arm around the guy. He looks like a guy who would rather be anywhere but there.

Yeah, the guy looks like he's about to burst into tears at any moment. It was also a pretty uncomfortable sequence where he said that Petrovic and Manning are not sexy players. Considering Chiarelli apparently making those trades with his balls in the air you might have thought the opposite.

Can't wait for them to complete the 0-5 home stand to end 2018.


Say goodbye to 2018 and ring in 2019 with a game where the final score will be 20-1 and 8 --- no, 9 jerseys are thrown on the ice.

In case you guys were wondering what Chia is like behind the scenes here’s maybe a little insight into how he works


The brain, the man, the myth the legend......

I like to make fun of Chia as much as anyone, but, Gott im Himmel that man is the definition of BrokenMan. I thought he was gonna burst into tears at any second right from the first syllable. Poor bastard.

How is Chia still employed. He looks finished, mentally and physically. I almost feel sorry for him, but he choose to come to Edmonton.

He looks shell shocked. Hard to believe this guy is running a franchise. Dead man walking.

He is still employed because no one else wants the job.
