But they know a lot more about the dice than we do which is probably why they went with Leivo and Simons. What we actually know about the players and their development is so minute.

Yeah, plus consider they had all those kids at camp and still signed Stone and Ritchie off of PTOs.

From the Calgary Herald...writers echo what I was saying about 'Hawk fan perception, that Keith's struggles were more due to poor defensive design.

He’s the information minister for the Oilers. I have no idea why the Herald is even printing his stuff.

Wait, was this the same team and coach that beat the two biggest offensive players in the league last year to make the playoffs handily in the play in round for the only time in the last 4 years?
Somehow a team with such terrible defensive scheme and structure that they turned Keith from a superstar into one of the worst analytical defenseman in the league also managed to shut down McDavid and Drai to a landslide 3-1 series win?

Uh huh.
I know that everyone who gets a subscription for the Edmonton Journal gets a complimentary tattoo that says exactly that.
