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

[McG]

Meanwhile, the guy who actually saved them in the playoffs has cleared waivers and they don’t know what to do with him as Bakersfield already has 2 performing goalies…at least according to urinal czar staples (so highly suspect). Meaning that Pickard could end up in the echl!

That fake evaluation of franchise value and no apparent repercussions for administrative costs of the 50/50 must have really affected their ability to plan.

If I don't get a ring this summer I'm leaving.


Maybe its because I'm jaded about 2022 still but its just a weird fluff piece that's dropping before the olympic break.

Also really pleased for Skinner. Loved his interviews. Never shied away from the tough ones. Never threw team under bus. I'm sure he is becoming a fan fav in Pitt.

A good news way to start my day

And the Oilers owe Jarry $5.375MM/AAV for the next two years......

Oilers blame their goalie for their failings, ship said goalie to another tsam, where they become good again. A story that has been told over and over since the beginning of time.

but next time it will be different.

I watched Mavi’s 40 second video on rogers oilersnet and, I have to point it out, but it is the repetitiousness of the word “obviously”. I can’t unhear it. He uses the word a minimum of 4 times in 40 seconds. And maybe more. I’m not going to waste another 40 seconds of my life listening to his version of robot slop words.

I've noticed that pissy and boo boo use the word a lot. Obviously. That room must be a mess since everything is so obvious. Also, it suggests that the questioner is stupid for asking the question, since the answer is so obvious.

I’ve noticed an increased frequency of “McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers” in the media. This is one of the things that I was told that drove the Gretzky trade…egos in the Oilers dressing room were infuriated that Gretzky got top billing as in “Gretzky and the edm piggies”. And in the Oilers front office. Let’s see if Mavi’s ego gets stoked by this turn of phrase.

Also, hilariously, I doubt Mavi even read that article that he “wrote”. He is beyond his usual level of uncomfortableness when asked about the article. If I wrote it, for example, I’d point out the part that was most important to me as the author.

Robot AI agent written slop.

Skinner is UFA. Sign and trade?

Also oilers gave up Kulak and a 2nd.

Good grief...that "letter" from McAvi is appalling. Whiny and entitled "I wanna win...really I do...and wah, wah, wah...I haven't....and I feel so sh*tty...".


What he CAN do to win is something he never does and never is likely to do: support his team by playing D and giving up some ice time to others. LOL...yep....super likely that is!


I'm wondering after reading that if his bland personality (he agrees...he's a "robot") simply matches that of Bumonton. Bland. And he IS actually happy to be there.

Ho hum another game at home against a team that played in Calgary last night. Weird that it was an 8pm start last night and 6:30 in Edmonton. So not even 24 hours in between games. Petty bs. But #### Edmonton *spits on ground*

And then the game in Calgary is back to 8pm. So they get an extra tired team on a back to back and then a bit of extra rest when they’re going back to back

[TheIronMaiden]

There are a bunch of Oilers fans on my beer league team. We might catch the end of the game going out for wings after the game.

Please Flames do it for me. Win the game.

Knobby house elf better count his socks! Stauffer speaks and the Urinal King writes a hatchet piece about 4th line centres for tonight v leafs. “Not the first head scratcher!”

We already changed it.

Oilers lose again, lol! Gotta love it.

[flamingred89]

Oilers have given up 30 goals against in their last 6 games. All at home. Mostly against tired teams and non contenders. They are a pretty terrible hockey team hanging on by special teams, last second bounces, and overtime.
