As much as it's fun to dog pile the Oilers, this is a serious societal issue that transcends the sport.

Remember when RNH got a bunch of points in garbage time at the end of the season and the Oil fans got all butt hurt he wasn’t even top 3?

Since 2007 the Oilers have had 11 top-10 picks. That's 65% of the drafts from 2007 till this year.

I would not be shocked to see them miss the playoffs.
Look how bad goaltending sewered our season. Their goalies are Campbell and Skinner. No good.

Prime Time Donair has the bid at 6500 dollars... they seem to be a chain of some sort? Has anybody tried their donairs before?

Pretty sure you could get a custom made Donaircostume for 1K. Maybe as much as 3k, but definitely not going to cost you 6500 for 1.

I saw the news story last night. Apparently the Donair was made for a Government Commercial on Cannabis use that never aired. They said the cost of the original costume was $15K as this is a one off from design from scratch. I guess you can't go to the local Party City and buy a hyper realistic donair costume off of the shelves.

That said the government overpays for everything.

I'm pretty sure you're right. I dont know what the fascination is with this specific Donair Costume.

I'm sure the cost was 10x for the "costume" review board.

OK but nobody has had Prime Time donairs? I'm sure that the govt paid a premium for that suit as there's no way it's worth 15k unless the lining was done in gold stitching or something stupid.
