The official Team Canada merchandise is supposedly made in Canada, Freed and Freed in Winnipeg.
In my mind, since 2/3rds of the Oilers Roster doesnt even play they could have the guys on the bench knitting the garments and stitching the lettering...

i wonder what kind of reception skinner will get tonight? i'm assuming the oil are going to do a video montage at a break. it would be hilarious to somehow get a different video played... like all of skinner's blunders and "how did that go in" moments - just becuz!
but then again, that is kind of on brand for that organization so it might not even raise an eyebrow!

Probably because it's too soon after the trade and he didn't want emotions of playing in that arena against his old team to get int he way of performance as the HC's job is to put the team in the best position to win games.

Their best forwards spend so little time in their own end I'd be surprised if they know their goalies' names.
Skinner going up to Hyman, Draisatl and McDavid before the game.

Facepalm.

In his own stupid ass analysis he shows the "grade A" and "5 alarm" split for has increased by 7.5% and 8.8% respectively. That has nothing to do with the goalies, he's saying the ####ing team is playing better in front of the goalies.

Never mind it's because they've played the bottom 5 NHL teams for half of those 20 games.

The stupidity hurts.

Or threats to his family if he was going to play. Oilers fans were quite nasty to him at times.

The Flames didn't put up a fight last night, Pens should have plenty of gas in the tank to crush those Pigs.

How many times does Edmonton get to leach off of the Alberta b2b nights? Feels like every damn time.

Letting in three goals on the first four shots against a tired team is pretty damn nice!

I want to see Crosby do a bad imitation of one of McDavid's dives with a crying face to the refs for kyits and giggles.

The funniest part is seeing that all 3 goals scored were against 3 different forward lines too. Only the 4th line has a +/- of 0.

The next two games too, plus Toronto before the Olympics.

After the Olympics though, it looks like all the Alberta b2bs go Edmonton first then Calgary the next night, so that's a nice change.

I think he was about the same pace in Calgary in the 14 games or whatever that he was healthy for.
