Attaching the word "journalists" to their name is a disgrace to the actual journalists. They are just junks. In a sense, they bring disgrace to actual junks.

Edmonton Media logic:

“I’m going to drown this ex-player in negativity because he didn’t live up to my overhyped projections I made about him when he was 17 based on Kevin Lowe’s orders input”

Now there you go disparaging amateur bloggers.

Or bloggers in general.

Complete assclowns is about right.

Oilers showing Holland that they desperately need Karlsson if they’re going to have any chance of reaching 7-6 instead of the regular 6-5 losses. Get after it Kenny.

Haven’t watched a (c)Oiler game all season, let alone one that went down to the wire. Caught the final minute or so of today’s game…

…Now I know why you all refer to him as “Monster Truck”…ear-bleedingly bad.

It has to be self-parody. Has to... But that could sum up that entire organization.

Edit. Can't get youtube link to work because internetting is hard.

The Highlight pack is something else. Monster Truck is a special breed of dumb. And made enjoyable because the Oilers lost. Which despite the media's best efforts to hide is happening frequently lately. Losers of 5 of 7. Probably still the Flames best avenue into the playoffs is through those turds.

They have some tough games coming up this week: Bruins, Leafs, and back-to-back games against the Jets.

Oilers are only 3 points up on the last wild card spot with Seattle, Colorado, and Calgary all with games in hand. If the Bruins, Leafs, and Jets bother to show up in those games, I could see the Oilers falling out of the race pretty quickly.

I remember Schremp being hyped past the point of parody... the 700g - 1300p predictions were made with straight faces. The Edmonton media built up so many of these kids (Mike Comrie also comes to mind) with such high expectations (to hold aloft the so-called Oilers Legacy torch) that it was inevitable they couldn't.

Sure, Schremp's ego didn't help, but the crash was inevitable.

If you want to see what else he has to say, click the twitter and look at the follow up from schremp. Looks like he gave an interview to spekky a few months ago that spekky made no good.

Also saw on twitter that matheson is now saying don’t read him or Spector if you want to complain.

Talk about precious snowflakes!

Holy hell Jack Michaels is cringe. I could barely handle an 8 minute highlight package, how are people watching an entire game? No wonder he is losing his voice at the end when it's turned up to 11 all game. I was thinking he'd be more suited to WWE but Monster Trucks are even better.

If they actually traded Comrie to the Ducks for the reports Perry & a 1st in the fall of 2003 they would have ruined Corey Perry’s career too.

The gall that Lowe had to ask Comrie to take less for his second contract, justified becuase Lowe said they overpaid for him to get him in uniform when they did out fo Junior, and Comrie should show some gratitide, is probably one of the most egregious things a GM has done.

Doubling down later that season by asking for money back from Comrie to trade him, becuase Lowe was attempting to be the bad guy in trying to be a champion among NHL GMs for not accepting high contracts, was pure ego.

It was the beginning of the end of the reputation of the Oilers, no agent or player wanted to play under such a meddling regime.
