99.9% of the Oilers’ offence goes through McLoser. This should be an easy 2 points for the Caps, provided they show up.

Sorry the WEM story was fake, although I’m sure you could forgive me for thinking it real.

Seems that this is real, though: https://www.nhl.com/oilers/news/rele...vid-suspension

Matheson and Spector are the worst because they are supposed to be serious journalists. Shout out to rishaug as well for bias at the national level.

The one that I laugh at the most is terry jones. Every one of his takes seems to be the one that keeps his golden buffet ticket active. He’s trading junk posts for junk food.

Terry Jones shakes the Oilers Pom-poms for free. He’s retired.

What I laugh at most is the argument that the play should have been whistled down IMMEDIATELY when McDipstick was tackled. Because “reasons” (which, so far, none of the whiners have been able to articulate other than “B..b…but it’s Connor!”).

PK Subban has now thrown his chips on too. Sheesh.

Between the Amazon Prime video, this and other incidents, it’s clear that this is a player with a temper that needs perpetual ego stroking.

His own medical staff, press releases as he “works through” a suspension for violent stick work, his agent as President, his coach, cherry picking, long shifts, it goes on and on. And the de riguer use of ‘best player in the world” which at its most simplistic is a debate.

Oh and his dog on the ice for a player award.

This is a child.

Yeah, there were still 5.5 seconds on the clock when he got away from Garland, and rather than moving himself into position to try and get a scoring chance, he instead decided to crosscheck Garland in the head.

If his goal was to send the message that he can't be messed with, I don't think he did a very good job of that. Is any team going to look at what happened and think they shouldn't do the same thing in the same situation?

Kucherov's the best player in the world. He just isn't Canadian, so that's a problem for Canadians.

If you asked GM's if they build a team around Mackinnon or Kucherov, I think 99% choose Mackinnon.

Mackinnon would be next. Then McDavid probably.

Yeah I can see the logic with that too. But it definitely is NOT McDavid.

Vancouver and Edmonton are beginning to develop a deep hatred for each other and I’m totally here for it!

A bench clearing brawl and suspensions into the start of next season.

Old time hockey!
