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

That has to be a suspension, right? Like you can't bulldog a guy and have it just be a penalty with no supplemental discipline. And more than just the last meaningless regular season game.

The Oilers haven't been doing anything that a dozen other teams haven't done. They're not the NHL's darlings, they're just taking advantage of the way the league interprets the rules.

Frankly, I believe they'll get no benefit from going over the cap in the playoffs. They'll get Evander Kane in the lineup, which does them no good at all; he's just another offence-only middle-six winger at this point, and they have more of those than they can use. Klingberg is a liability and hasn't played a full season since 2017-18.

Are you really circumventing the cap by adding two overpriced spare parts to your playoff roster?

Note that Hartman got 8 games (reduced from 10) for his slamming Stutzle's head into the ice.

[Robbob]

I sure hope they look at his history. All the suspensions I recall have him having, is him just going nuts (3 games for pummeling that Shark player and 1 game head butting the king player in the playoffs). He also got the rare game suspension for instigating a fight with less than 5 minutes in a playoff game.

[Paulie Walnuts]

He deserves 10 games. The guy is dangerous.

I also hate how they have some unwritten formula that X amount of playoff games equals Y amount of regular season games so a 2-game suspension would be like 8 in the regular season.

Intent to injure regardless of preseason, regular season, or playoffs should be treated the same.

Well. He's not wrong.

They pretty much just gooned it up. Now hopefully...they're upset enough about that to do something about it.

There is nothing I want more than for LA to sweep Edmonton, winning each game by at least 3 goals, and Edmonton not scoring a goal all series.

Oh the ensuing drama!

[kevman]

The Oilers game plan worked. Throw a meaningless game and injure one of their opponents best players. Nurse won't miss a single playoff game.

And then once the drama starts to die off an Asteroid has my permission to vaporize Edmonton.

That'd be great.

Nurse is absolute garbage. He is one of the biggest fake tough guys in the entire league. Hope he gets a few games because that play was brutal.

[Ironhorse]

He deserves a few games but part of me wants him to stay in the lineup. Oilers are likely a better defensive squad without him.

Make sure it's a small asteroid. The Tunguska event of 1908 would look good in Edmonton. Bigger than that and you'd risk wrecking the whole province.

Corey crapweasel Perry’s opinion on dirty or not must take into account his own actions of knocking a kings player’s glove off and then hitting him on the hand. Or lying in the king’s crease with blades up. Or getting his own 10 minute misconduct.

It goes on and on.

It’s fake tough.

I find the entire franchise lacks integrity and is certainly disrespectful to both the rules and the opponent.

I watched the Oilers game with a mixture of revulsion and disgust.

I was invited to the game but declined; good thing, I probably would have been kicked out.

EDMONTON, AB – The NHL released the King Clancy Memorial Trophy nominees for all 32 teams on Tuesday, including Darnell Nurse representing the Edmonton Oilers for the fourth consecutive season.

The King Clancy Trophy is awarded to the player who best exemplifies leadership qualities on and off the ice and has made a noteworthy humanitarian contribution in his community.



While he clearly does some real good in the community, the timing could not be more amusing.

[McG]

Wonder if he was similarly observant of the soft oilers team with fake injuries playing kings last night. Probably not; spector has shown a complete inability to be self aware.

although many of the fans have turned on the Blues due to the duel offer sheet-


somehow that probably was all part of Spector's view of a masterplan so no ill will

[Enoch Root]

Spector showing once again, that he is nothing more than basement-blogging fanboy.
