what a great sports night. Oilers losing to the worst team in the league, Canucks lose, Seahawks lose. the only way it could be better is if the roughriders were playing and losing.

I wanted to get to bed earlier tonight, but if this score holds up, there’s no way I’m not tuning into 630 CHED post-game!

Strange how much you hate the Seahawks. Cowboys are by far the most evil.

Would anyone be surprised if the oilers keep up the free fall and go for another first round pick!

this is the dilemma, we dont want a complete freefall, they need to win sometimes. will be interesting to see if McDavid looks to get out of there in the next few years.

they are an embarrassing franchise... what would that be? 5 firsts in 9 years?

yeah, i'd agree, i'd be more than happy if they stayed in the 10 spot with a very very slim chance at the top pick

I think everyone gets one (unless they trade it away), no?

Winning another lottery would be both tragic and hilarious...

Tragic for Jack Hiughes, who would waste away his talent playing for the worst sports franchise on earth. Hilarious, because Edmonton is no good, and not even another #1 draft pick can save them.

No one can.

No one.

If McDavid cant lift that team from the basement in the league there is no prospect that will be able to. Bring on mor top picks for the oil

It's funny when Oiler fans talk about the Flames record is not sustainable.

When I look at their record and see that they are still a bubble team with one more regulation win than losses, that seems like a huge over achievement to me. That is not sustainable. How that team is not in a lottery position is beyond me. I guess McDavid really is that good, because he alone has them about 8 or 9 spots overall than they deserve to be.

They are in a lottery position. All teams that miss the playoffs are in the lottery.

I agree they are overachieving though! E=NG

Oh yeah, I'm still of the mindset that lottery means bottom five.

If you watch them play they play like they are pretending to make an effort. Shooting, skating and hitting aimlessly. If they are in position for another draft pick they will not be satisfied with 10th place. My guess is we see another free fall where they lose to all the teams below them.

If at first you don't succeed, tank, tank again.
