Had the Blues the foresight to sign Kapanen to a 3 year 3 million dollar deal, he would still be theirs.
Blues are just stupid, obviously.

I thought you were joking, but it's true!

It's so on point for the Oilers to claim him.

They are old and slow, have a bad defence, and bad goalies.

So this actually does help 1 of the 3 problems.

What's this? Hockey media noticing the Oilers are worse than they were last year?

"Edmonton needs to make some significant moves."

Yeah, that'll work.

But kapanen punishes the blues and he’s a forward!

You can’t make this stuff up!

In the dreadfully silly Disney movie Gus, the coach of the equally dreadful California Atoms (Don Knotts) suggests the team needs to make a trade… but they've got nobody the other teams want.

The GM, played by Ed Asner, replies with the dripping sarcasm only Asner could do perfectly: ‘We've got nobody we want!’

Apart from the Wonder Twins, that pretty much describes the Oilers right now.

THAT'S the sort of BOLD move that the Oilers need. A hockey-playing mule --- or perhaps a Golden Retriever....

Do you know that Gus could kick field goals though thus disqualifying him from being the best player in the league without a goal.

Oilers would do well to sign Gus. At least he scores!

Wouldn't work in hockey, because of the ‘intentional kicking motion’ rule.

Maybe if they strapped a hockey stick to his hind leg.

Then they could change the name of the team to the Edmonton ‘Oyage!’

On the 2nd goal, 97 flies the zone and is caught at centre ice when the puck goes in. The 3rd goal is pure comedy. 97 turns the puck over and immediately bee lines it to the bench to get off the ice before the puck crosses the line. Just classic from the worlds greatest digger.
Yeah that was me. It’s incredible when you see 97 and 29 going the opposite direction of play…and by that I mean whenever the puck is in the Oilers zone.

I’m going to be checking those little visualizers out in the future. It’s like a mini “this guy scored”!

Pretty sure the intentional kicking motion only applies against the Oilers, not to them!

But what is the mule played goal? Sure, the lack of an opposable thumb makes the catcher mitt impossible, but it could do a Dan Blackburn and have two blockers, or better yet... four leg pads! Kick, save and a beauty!!

So it begins! Mcdavid looks pissed, can’t imagine he is wanting to re-sign, especially if the media is starting to say they aren’t good and don’t have resources to be good.

Decade of darkness round 2 incoming!

What an amazing season!

1. NHL.com
2. Gamecentre.
3. Each goal has a visualizer. Click on that.

That's fantastic! I love that second goal! Especially after watching the highlight of Caufield stealing the puck from Pissy.
