Default Two Years Ago - Mark Spector was (extra) No Good

Published just two years ago.

Oilers leaving Flames behind in Battle of Alberta

Edmonton officially passed Calgary Saturday night, in both the macro and micro sense of the word.

Calgary has been the better franchise for many years. They are not anymore, and are firmly in the chase position from this point forward.

The Flames are stalled for now, trying to figure out how to be any good in front of sub-par goaltending, wondering if leaders like Johnny Gaudreau and Sean Monahan are the real deal, truly able to carry this team beyond its current state.

Calgary’s a wild card team at best now, while the Oilers are well in contention for the Pacific Division lead.

It’s a big change in Alberta, and it won’t be changing back soon.

GG in Edmonton is so fitting as well. the Oilers should hire the other GG as well, Greg Gilbert. Coincidence that 2 of our worst coaches had GG for initials?

Everyone should keep tweeting this at him. Make him answer for it. I know he’ll never admit he was so incredibly wrong. But he deserves it.

Oh, yes please!

I will never sign up for twitter, but if I was ever tempted to it would be for an important public service such as this.

I just tweeted. I expect a block.

Remember when he trolled about the Flames protecting Brouwer in the expansion draft.

He really defines Hunter S. Thompson's quote about sports writers.

Just another example of the fan boy homerism of the Edmonton media. Who else writes this kind of garbage? So satisfying to see the massive egg on his face here.

I once got an infraction for referring to another poster as a putz.

Im gonna cross the line once again.

Mark Spector is an ultra-putz.

Writers of his ilk need to stop stating things in absolutes when it is apparent they have absolutely no idea what the future may hold.

Common sense 101.

So in that article on Jan 22, 2017, Oilers were up by 9 points on the Flames. Fast forward 2 years, and Flames are 20 points up on the Oilers this season. Hilarious.
