So now that Edmonton looks like they will be a hub city - when does the banner go up?

IIX is not a Roman numeral. If this is the 8th version of this thread, the correct Roman numeral for that is VIII. If it's some other number than the 8th, then IIX is even more incorrect.

I mean, I guess I could get behind IIX being the edmonton version of VIII, as it's definitely no good.

Exactly, anytime someone rips the Oilers no matter who they are it's good.

This article of course predated his offer sheet escapades, his flat out lying to Chris Pronger, the Heatly thing, the Souray thing, the Smyth thing, the Nylander thing, his handing out of 5 year contracts to average NHLers that hit about thier weight for one playoff series, and his carousel of GMs and coaches he blamed his future blunders on.

But as mentioned, it’s a good article to see how his antiquated way he thought the game off the ice worked, got him into so much trouble, starting with his handling of the Comrie thing and what warning signs that should’ve sent to more players and agents and other GMs, but insulated himself and had no one around him (recall there were 30 owners of the Oilers before Katz) to tell him he was wrong, or, flat out, “no”, to some of these maverick ideas he has had to prove how creative he is.
Can you expand on all of the "things" associated with players? I'm curious as I don't know / don't remember all of the no-goodness attached to these players. The more no-good the stories are the better!

Oh come on, the guy is average at best and a middle pairing dman who's a blunderpuss positionally.


If Nurse makes the Olympic team it says that Canada is not doing well at developing blueliners.

What the hell is the 2020 Olympic Team?? Is this some kind of contrived tournament to slot in hypothetical Oilers?

I would vote NO if for no other reason than no such team actually exists.

Even most of the Oiler fan responses on twitter are along the line of "lol wtf David"

That guy is a world-class idiot
