Even within the next 12 months they would be bottom 10

Do you mean to tell me that Spector intended that tweet NOT as a clever joke, but as an actual "gotcha"...?!?

When I initially read it online, I thought he was being funny...and that is WAS...<shrug dot jpeg>

Mavi on the ice today with a no contact jersey apparently. If I just got back from beers and beach in Cabo, I wouldn’t want contact either. Sunburn and hangover.

How long before ugly sock wearing and Ron Maclean cheering snet lobbies for Mavi to wear that non contact jersey during actual games? More I mean.

On that note, how is wearing Draisatl socks remotely acceptable for a national broadcaster? Why not just put on an autographed jersey?

Man, the last time I was at that mall...after which I had to bathe in bleach, it was almost half-empty.

That place is a dump.

Granted I loathe malls in general anyways.

Reports out there that the Oilers are going to make every attempt to hire John Tortorella for head coach next season. That's got to make Knobby feel all warm and tingly.

That is absolutely dispicable.

If I were Tortorella I'd be on the phone with my lawyer.

Joke or not, you can't just make make statements that imply Tororella has done something deplorable enough to be hired by the oilers without backing it up.

Tortorella would never go to Edmonton, I think he genuinely hates Canada.

But, it would really complete his ultimate flames villain arc. 2004, Vancouver Coach, the Hartley locker room brawl, and then OILERS COACH?
Yeah f that. lol

Mavi and Pissy aren't going to play for Torts, absolutely zero chance. They will never let it happen and they make all the decisions.

Oilers sign 29 year old Czech free agent forward David Tomasek to a one year $1.2 million contract. Tomasek has spent the last two seasons in the Swedish League.

Getting younger.

Didn't they try this with older Europeans already, to no avail?

Oilers, never change.

I wonder if there will be any
over-the-top hype about this in the Edmonton media.

That goes without saying.

Spoiler!

Today I learned that there’s a band named after the most apt description of Edmonton…and that they’re co-headlining Folk Fest!

E = BBNG

Today I learned that Los Lobos are still alive...

Watched the end of the greasers game yesterday. All principe needs is a red nose. The hair, the character…the dirty feet.

Tubsy Stauffer offered that the greasers likely sign up to 5 euros and college players in the upcoming weeks. Lo and behold…”the best player not in the nhl” for $1.2 million.

I guess we know where pissy and Mavi were…scouting in Europe.

[McG]

Oh spekky. There’s a reason people question your hockey judgment.

We all know that this Frederic acquisition is a two-part thing.

The part where he helps the Oilers try to win a Stanley Cup this spring, and the part where the pending unrestricted free agent chooses the Oilers over his hometown St. Louis Blues sometime between the parade and July 1.

I remember seeing them at Another Roadside Attraction in 1997, and they were old then.

They also signed some German kid that Leon Draisaitl himself personally recruited.
