And most of the initial reaction here was shock.

He’s clearly fine, or he wouldn’t be playing. It’s all sports entertainment joking.

[QUOTE=Yoho;6949062]Public shaming over appearance is weak. Comments like "Meth" ect being bantered around are beneath us IMO.

I get it "if you don't like it, don't click on the thread"

I just think there are enough things to pick the Oil apart on without stooping to that level.

I dislike like

Completely disagree. snowflakes...snowflakes everywhere.

I don't give a hoot about a player's nationality. Especially one on a rival team.



If anything, I'm impressed by Sweden because they had about 100 players in the NHL last season.

For someone dismissive of patriotism/nationalism, what does the CRO indicate in your username?

Just goes to show how the National Sentiment in Alberta is waning...

I dislike like the Oilers allot, but I'm incredibly proud McDavid is Canadian.

Ugh. Sweden. So awful.

No one is "shaming" McDavid. No one is suggesting he is really on meth. We are just joking about a single picture. Everyone knows that he doesn't look good because he's either sick or worn out.

We also have joked about Kessel's fat face pic, Burns' beard, PullRV's Frankenberry face, etc.

Literally couldn't think of anything else when making a handle.



Just thought it was weird to be "incredibly proud" that a top 5 player in the NHL is Canadian. Not like this hockey player has done something another Canadian hasn't.

Right, so you actually identify as a specific nationality. That's what you're challenging. Not too dissimilar than your strident defending of Modric for the Ballon D'or.

I'm not picking on you, so much as to say people will show their value to nationalism in different ways.

Man, what a year it's been. I ghosted in the WC thread because I couldn't take the excitement anymore and I packed up my little family and we went to Zagreb to take it all in. What an insane experience it was watching the WC Final with 550,000 other Croatians and the homecoming was just as crazy.



I haven't had the heart to re-watch the Final, but I will at some point soon. It's so heartbreaking, yet such a proud moment. Many times I still can't believe I was part of that.

Anyway I've thorougly hi-jacked this thread.

Edmonton sucks with braces.

So its ok to be patriotic if your Croatian, but a bad thing if you are proud to be a Canadian?



Perhaps you need to think about that one.

Who said that? Perhaps you need to re-read the previous page.

You are exactly right and that's exactly what I said.

George Carlin: “Pride should be reserved for something you achieve or obtain on your own, not something that happens by accident of birth. Being Irish isn't a skill... it's a ####ing genetic accident. You wouldn't say I'm proud to be 5'11"; I'm proud to have a pre-disposition for colon cancer. So why would you be proud to be Irish?"

The only Coiler game I go to and not only does Lucic double his goal total, but also they win 7-2. Ugh.

Rogers Place is big, but feels sterile. Weird arena environment. The big dumb countdown to start the game was bad, the brass band was worse. This is a place designed to provide a show off the ice, because what is on it is not the least bit inspiring.

Fun article on The Athletic today. Down Goes Brown: What’s the worst possible salary cap situation you could create from today’s contracts?


Unsurprisingly, the worst possible team features more oilers than players from any other team.
