Just watched the presser. Man, what a whiny, pathetic organization. Guys get suspended all the time over the course of the season and serve their time like adults. But not these assclowns. My god, they're embarrassing.

Just when you think they couldn't become a bigger joke of a franchise than they already were...

I love how even Spec was all:

Just comical.

Par for the pathetic course up there.
I expect arm bands to be worn by the Oilers the next two games. A whiny press release which was bad enough, and then, in Lowe-era true fashion, followed by a press conference to make sure the Oilers injustices are heard, world wide (and to distract from the fact that the organization is slipping further into the toilet)

A 9 minute clip where the first 6 minutes are a title card.
Even the Edmonton media editors are no good.

I can't believe what a big deal they are making this. It's a two-game suspension... get over it already. Even if the intent wasn't there, it was reckless enough to warrant a punishment.
That franchise in unreal. Why do they make everything so weird?

Now they are just pathetic babies that cannot seem to realize that the organization is perennial bad because of them. They keep buying tickets and selling out to witness trash on the ice playing the victim card when things don't go their way which is the same self-fulfilling prophecy that made the Leafs organization a joke for decades. When the owner sees a full arena year after year there's never really any pressure to change what how he's going about his business and the OBC will always be running things as long as Katz isn't forced by his bottom line to make the necessary changes.

Perspective, as Nicholson and their media use this incident to whip thier fans into a frenzy in order to gain some cheap points with the McDavid camp in trying to convince him to stay this summer.
Gio got two games for tripping as a first time offender this year.

Even if they disagree with the ruling the Flames just give a one line quote and say they are moving on.

Any word on the status of McDavid exploring his options in the presser? Are the Oilers and him “just taking a break”, at this point, or are they simply in an open relationship?
