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

in a recent interview with penguins reporter kelsey surmacz, skinner appeared to make a few backhanded comments toward the oilers and, particularly, the fanbase, who were often critical during his tenure with his hometown team.

“yeah, it feels great. Definitely a big difference in terms of, kind of, the feelings," skinner said. "i think here, it’s honestly just a great feeling. I feel like everyone’s really rooting for you and is really ‘all together.’ it feels like pittsburgh is one big family, and we’re a very united city.

But just the whole feeling around this room, it’s been nothing but positive here. It’s been really, honestly – again – just family-oriented. It’s just been really enjoyable, and i already kind of forget what it was like in edmonton,”

“Mighty Mavi has missed out” by me and my AI.

The mood was tense in Rogers Place, the clock was ticking down,
The Oilers trailed by one, and every face wore that old frown.
A power play was coming, though, and hope began to rise—
For Shelbyville has learned to dream with fire in its eyes.

The puck was dropped, the cycle set, the crowd began to roar,
As Hyman dove and held like he’d never done before.
Tenderness, he fed the point, Boo-Boo unleashed a blast—
But somehow, through a maze of legs, the puck slid wide and past.

A groan rolled through the building, but belief refused to die;
For everyone could see who circled back into the play.
He gathered speed, crossovers eight, he gathered all the noise—
And suddenly the rink belonged to beige man, not isle’s boys.

McDavid crossed the blue line with that non defensive glide,
The kind that makes defenders pray and goalies shrink inside.
A deke, a burst, a cut so sharp it nearly split the ice—
And all the greasers leaned forward, breath held in a vise.

He dangled past the first man, left the second in the dust,
And now the goalie squared to him with trembling pads and trust.
For legends write their stories in the moments built for lore—
And this was one that stinkville swore would end up as a score.

He wound, he paused, he snapped a shot—
A laser, clean and true.
But somehow, by some cursed design, the goalie’s blocker flew.
The puck deflected skyward, spinning like a dying star,
And landed harmless in the corner, just a foot too far.

The horn did not erupt. The fans did not ascend.
The magic fizzled quietly, a glumness without an end.
And when the final buzzer came, jerseys hit the ice like fate—
For even heroes miss their mark, and sometimes it’s too late.

No miracle for Greaserville, no storybook tonight.
McDavid skated off the ice beneath the pale rink light.
And though Draisaitl loves him still, and always will, no doubt—
There was no joy in Stinktown
Mighty Pissy had shot wide.

Bouchard thought he scored tonight but it went post post to post post and out.

He looked like such a cross eyed goof when they announced that it was no goal

You don't need to add any words after goof.

Points per minute leaders

Nathan = .082
Connor = .074

Similar amount of shifts, but Connor stays on the ice longer - full PPs.

Blimey, 6 million dollar man Mark Stone is having himself a year! I'd no idea.

That last 2 mins when Bouchard is on the ice is just comical. He is just an absolute turnover machine. If there was ever a player made to be an Oiler, it’s Bouchard…… nothing but offense and the ######bomb

[Robbob]

Anyone else laugh out loud when they saw Kevin Rooney a the top of the list?

Off topic but I just spent 10 minutes trying to figure out if “I’d no idea” was a real sentence. <insert_Phantom_Menace_“Is_that_legal”.gif> it looked right but sounded so very wrong. I learned something today.

One thing I do know though is E=NG. Glad we don’t have to hear about the point streak anymore.

We let Kevin Rooney slip through our fingers.

Sounds like illness in the family.

[RedHot25]

He's no good on the ice, but I hope his family is ok.

Hopefully things are ok.

[direwolf]

So does this mean McDavid will have to play all 60 minutes over the next few games?

Now we can see can McPiggy stir the drinks alone.

Even with a terrible record lately, rebuilding Flames only 8 pts back of Stanley Cup lock Oilers.
