Scoring Winger

I swear Ekholm was likable in Nashville. What does Edmonton do to these players?
It has to be their leadership that causes all of these normal players to turn into complete whiners.

I wonder what oiler fans think when their players b#### and moan in front of the cameras and the local media craft these "woe is me" questions for them to go off on.
Rather embarrassing from the outside.
Most teams own their losses even if they're miffed about the calls. It's the third round of the playoffs, you think these games are going to get regular season treatment? The lack of intellectual honesty is something.

Hah!! I came to say this too! Dumbass approaches Big-ass Cop who just stiff-arms him and he flies to the ground.
That was a 'F-around and find out moment' for that kid.

From what I can see, knowing a few Coilers fan and braving the HF boards...the fans agree with the players, feel they are hard done by, there's a league-wide conspiracy against the Coilers and that McWhiny and Pissy are great leaders for bringing this to light...

Of course they do
Dallas seemed to wake up or figured something out in the third. If this is true, the oilers are in huge trouble because they didn’t have a sniff in the third.
The last games of oiler draisaitl could be here

I dont understand this. I really dont get it. If I've said it once I've said it a million times...
There is a league-wide Conspiracy...but its in their favour!
Its pretty damned obvious.

They get air dropped a mcdavid and ample reffing breaks most years.
If you still can't get it done 8/9 years on then it's your own fault at that point.
Crazy thought, but maybe the opposition deserves some credit.

Yep
Winning multiple draft lotteries, neglecting embellishments rules, allowing them to sign players that should be out of the league (mind you, no self respecting team would want Kane and Perry) and all they have to say is “we should be getting more power plays”
It’s bewildering

Dude...its not even just that. They got 4 1st overall picks, they got McDavid, they got Draisaitl, they got several Top 5 picks, they've poached players whose contracts with other teams were 'mysteriously canceled' they get more powerplays than anyone else...they still have 2 #1 Overall picks playing on the same team. Who else has that?
At some point...short of the Refs just throwing the puck in the net for them and crediting McDavid....but at some point one should have the honesty to acknowledge that they've been handed a lot of goodies for free.
Its like starting a game of Monopoly but you get to start with twice as much money as everyone else and The Bank is essentially a Cookie-jar and yet you lose anyways and complain that the game was rigged.
Of course it was rigged! They rigged it for you!!
