Oil lose 6-1 to Seattle. Monster Truck calls it a scheduled loss.

When the score gap is too great to come up with excuses as to why they were cheated, it's a "scheduled loss"

Still out for another two weeks, at least.

Knoblauch announcing that he will miss at least another two weeks of action. That isn’t a very promising update, though if that winds up being the minimum time missed, he could still return late in the regular season. That would give him at least a few games to try and get up to speed with his new teammates. It’s far from ideal, but the best-case scenario for a trade that may end up being regretted.

The Oilers are a very ordinary hockey team with Dri and Mavi.

I would say that calling them an ordinary team gives them too much credit. They are a bad team.

This would be fantastic!

I would also expect an oilers phone call to the league complaining about it…just like Goala on Thefan caused Kevin Lowe’s sensitivities to be affected.

Do you think that the snow at Leduc international will delay their flight home?

They aren’t even around the team, so where else could they be?

Just a huge Superintendent Chalmers on the Jumbotron yelling "SKINNER!!!"

While the Flame throwers go off!

That'd be brilliant.

God, make that happen.

Outside of the howls, the Flames game presentation has been vanilla for years. They need to spice it up.

Would be hysterical in a blowout. Line up a clip of Chalmers berating Skinner as he's pulled too.

We know that the Flames Org reads this. Make it happen!

Get Hank Azaria in here to sing the Anthems and do a rendition!

Even better would be an additional “skinner” after each goal…an accumulator!

3 goals against gets 3 “skinners!” Back to back to back; 8 goals against would be 8 “skinners!”

The best would be when skinner gets pulled…knobby is onscreen with the “skinner!” voiceover and the screen changes to show skinner skating off.

Chef’s kiss!

I like how they seem to think any one outside the 780 region feels bad for them or is down about them getting walloped.

The rest of canada is actually saying "again, again!"
