Still can’t believe he brought out his dog, there is no chance anyone in the league has any respect for him.
It would be interesting to know what other stars really think. At the very least, it’s extremely self indulgent and at worst it’s completely unnecessary and disrespectful. What’s next? Leon’s pet rat konor? Ferrets by Hyman? Emberson’s cat because he played enough games to go UFA?
As an organization and fan base, they suffer with the biggest case of whataboutery in the sport.

Whoa, whoa...this was sliding perilously close to the bottom page one. Never keep your foot off the gas CP. Oiler grease must never be so slippery to make it to page 2.

Background: I was preparing my family's original antique Apple ][e computer for sale. It had languished unused in basements for decades enough. Before parting with it I scraped all the old Appleworks, Printshop and Newsroom data files from the stack of double-sided, double-density floppies that passed for storage back in the day.
Among other things of no interest to anyone, I found this graphic:
This is what comes of nerds who like hockey. The text elements were created using the Newsroom text function. The axonometric boxes around the text were plunked in by me, pixel-by-pixel. The sentiments were all mine, and as true today as they were back then.
This seems like the right place to post it, so it can fulfill its ultimate destiny after a 40-year wait.

Another goal and an assist for Holloway. In 29 games as a Blue, he has more goals and assists than in two years as an Oiler. 10 goals and 19 points would make him the third highest scoring forward on the Oilers.
Nice to see Calgary kid Holloway playing amazing after escaping the dump up north. Always knew he was a good prospect being ruined by the Oilers development system, as so many others weren't so fortunate to escape. Good for Broberg too.
Is being an oilers a cult mentality? Watched the Oilers game about driving diversity and Valdimer Smid is a top ambassador. Even after the Oilers did him so so so dirty he is pulling the greasy line.
Wow, the Apple ][e was my first ever computer. Purchased for $2300 from Computerland on 14th street around 1983, height of the Oiler-Flames rivalry. Wish I still had it, but mom gave it away 30 years ago. Still hurts.
TIL I've hated the oilers for over 40 years.

I cannot picture where Computerland was?
Ours was the commodore family. 64 then moved on to the Amiga 500. My dad got a bonus and my parents announced we were headed to Hindson Computing (I think it was called) to buy a new computer. Those were some good days. It was in fisher park area by that old Mcleod Trail Mcdonalds.
There was also the computer place in Marda Loop where professional skate was forever. Can't remember that name.

Funny that there's an Apple repair centre there now.
Yeah, we nerds in junior high were split between Apple and Commodore. I saw my first Amiga in University when my roommate had one. He had a fighting game that apparently was banned where a finishing move decapitated your opponent. I still remember the shock seeing that for the first time, though it pales to what is available today.

Firstly, Edmonton is no good.
Secondly, perhaps the forgettable name "The Computer Shop"? I think it was something like that. We bought our first computer, Commodore 64 there. Jumpman Jr for the win!

From HFBoard oiler fan, in analyzing MacT's management:
O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
I loved my Apple II+ as a kid. Castle Wolfenstein was my favourite game. It was training for when I went to university in Edmonton and had to find a way to escape that brutal place.
