AGLC still has a legal monopoly on wholesale liquor in Alberta. All liquor stores have to buy from government warehouses. The government's grubby little fingers have been all over the business all along.

I'm sure the minister is wondering how the hell that retail store manages to sell vodka for so much less than the wholesale price.

If you've been thinking that the Oilers haven't had to overcome any injuries, you'd be right.

Why are we wasting everyone's time with months of travel? Bettman should just hand the Oilers the cup on April 20th then if it's that much of a lock and save all this four round playoff trouble.

Sorry, are the oilers first in the NHL right now Staples? No? Are they even currently first in their division? No?

This is Edmonton journalism at its finest. "We are the best, no matter what the standings say". Every year this happens.

He can't even give credit to teams that are better than the Connor McDavids. So when the oilers get knocked out of the playoffs, he is going to claim they beat themselves, built in excuse already. Clown.

Early favourite....

Something tells me we're going to have an abundance of choices though...

You can't have the annual embarrassing oilers failure without the preceding hype articles from the usual suspects, complete with unusual formatting, desktop snapshots, and a quote tailor made for the next E=NG thread.

Looks like Staples conveniently forgot about the Stars and Oettinger destroying them just days ago.
