I've been looking around several various news sites about the verdict in the trial, and I'm finding it quite telling that most of the general public think that 'The Five' would be considered radioactive for PR in the NHL and that most teams, and especially 'our' team wouldn't/shouldn't touch them, but figure that the Oilers would happily sign any or all of them.

The stink of E=NG is not just a "Calgary sour grapes" thing at all. The Oilers are known throughout North America as No Goods.

Was it Dickens pub that Al Mac went on trial for scrapping?

Nope. But close.

Can't wait for sportsnet (ron) to spin it into a positive story of perseverance and character or some other garbage

They gave Virtanen a PTO after he was acquitted of sexual assault. So there is precedent.

Gimme a good E=NG question to ask. Like one that comes off as respectful, but subtly disrespectful. And go!

Kevin, as a long time Edmonton Resident, and Oiler, can you please explain to us why Edmonton is such a #### hole?

Some good ones in here!


The entire brokerage knows of my dislike already for the Oilers, so as soon as I get handed the mic during question period, I know for a fact the room will be bracing for it.....

It will be glorious. I will 100% be asking something cheeky.

"Hey Kevin, does knowing a thing or 2 about winning contribute to the decisions to bring in controversial individuals such as Kane, Virtanen, Perry, and Bowman?"

Kevin, with all your winning, does it give you VIP treatment at the Bar Trove? If so do you have a drink or sandwich named after you like the Bobby burger?

Hey Kevin, do you think there is value (for the brokerage) to categorize our customers by tiers?

Follow-up question: Should we also inform our customers of their tier level?

Kevin thanks for taking the time today. You were inducted into the HoF the same day as Jarome Iginla. What was it like playing against a legend like Iggy?

"When I think of the Hockey Hall of Fame, names like Dick Duff, Bernie Federko and Russell Bowie spring to mind. That said, what do you think about being inducted alongside a true legendary great like Jarome Iginla?"

And the way Virtanen's trial ran out it was just like the recent one (except in terms of numbers, obviously).

There are so many possibilities, but beware, anything you say will probably be taken personally and your bosses will hear it.
Probably one of the more mild is “Tell us about the time you were caught laughing on camera after the Flames were eliminated on the live Crosby sweepstakes, only to have the Oilers named next?”

“Why did you think it was acceptable from any professionally or personal reason, to fire a coach via Skype while he was off overseas working for you?

“You really wanted to force a hometown player to take less in his second contract, and then held up a trade for Corey Perry, waiting for that player to pay you back?
