Edmonton is No Good XII: "I Dunno.. it's Just Not Good."

Duncan Keith opts out of playing his final year as well after it looked like things are business as usual and magically winds up with a cushy role in hockey ops around the same time.

Kane waits several months to get a surgery he knows he needs as a high profile part of a team trying to compete for a championship. No one bothers to ask why he's less than hurried to get it done in time to get back in during the season, despite having forever to do it.

Just so convenient in all three cases.

Although I can see Smith getting fed up and quitting hockey and leaving the oilers with no choice but to find a lame excuse. So maybe that case wasn't entirely the oilers being shady.

And through all of that still can’t get it done. Worst managed team in all of professional sport. The Cleveland Browns are so happy the Edmonton Oilers exist.

'Please bring them back’: Plaques honouring First World War soldiers stolen from cemetery

Nearly a dozen plaques honouring Edmonton soldiers who died during the First World War have been stolen from a cemetery in Edmonton.

“These plaques represented their lost loved one and this is all they had,” Edmonton Regiment Museum historian Joe MacDonald said of the plaques.

Now they want the provincial government to give them money for an outdoor rioting and puking park.

Let’s not forget the dubious circumstances where Kane left the sharks.

Somehow his contract doesn’t matter, and he gets a free pass to greaserville.

Same with Perry…
Somehow did enough to have his contract terminated by the hawks but then was allowed to sign in Edmonton for league minimum…?

Hot off the press from The Athletic

Loser: Edmonton Oilers

Dallas went out and added the best player available in Rantanen and locked him up long-term. Colorado went out and added the top rental available in Nelson. Edmonton added a solid second-pair defenseman in Walman and a third-line forward in Trent Frederic. If this is an arms race, Edmonton is losing.

The Oilers are the defending conference champion and were the preseason favorites to win it all. Now, they look like the fifth-best team in the West.

This prose is better than Danielle Steele and smutstories. Just A+ content imo

Would have made a good title for an ENG thread.

Edmonton is no good: "I want to get out of here."

Ralph Krueger
Dallas Eakins

Todd Nelson
Todd McLellan
Ken Hitchcock
Dave Tippett
Jay Woodcoft
Kris Knloblauch

Like, maybe the problem isn’t the coach guys.

Torts could be fired any day. Edmonton would hire him for sure

[Rejean31]

Saw some Oiler fan posting some comments following the trade deadline that there were no goalies available who would be an upgrade on their current goalies. Sure glad their lame management didn’t look at Spencer Knight, who was obviously available for the right price.

I'm not sure McDavid would give his approval. Torts is pretty hard on players. How do you think the Tenderness would enjoy Torts?
