He's not alone but he needs to calibrate his thinking
Thought Tkachuk should be suspended for Kassian incident - he wasn't
Thought Kassian shouldn't be - he was
Thought the Oilers would never have to give up the third - they did
Thought Tkachuk should have a lengthy suspension for Scheifele incident - he got nothing
Thought Kassian didn't deliberately kick the Tampa player - suspended
How many times can a guy be wrong before he wonders if he's living in a bias?

You forgot devoted minor hockey league coach of championship teams...
He's never going to self reflect...it says something about the city that he still has a platform. Who's in charge of that minor hockey association? Ha.

I was actually wondering if that was going to be hooking at first too, but on the replay, it was nothing. If that is a penalty, then the whole game would be played 3-on-3.

It's closer to a Decade-And-A-Half Of Darkness rather than The Decade of Darkness they keep referencing.

The bottom line is he keeps justifying his hyper fandom as he's just a fan with a twitter account. But the Edmonton Journal publishes his game breakdowns and opinion columns, so he's not just a fan with a twitter column, he's an accredited hockey journalist liked to a Edmonton newspaper that should really be embarrassed about his antics.

Bigger question is how does he still have a job.

So it is official now that the lottery is done. This season was a debacle of monumental proportionals with no redeeming qualities at all for the Oilers. Good.

The only thing that could make this season even better for the oilers (IMO) is one of McOvi or Drysaddle to ask for a trade lol.

Phew.
So Oilers pick 14th? since they picked Jordan Eberle (who is now 30 years old) they have only drafted that low once? is that right? (Yamamoto- one third of the best line of all time, and the greatest number 22 pick- sorry /Bryan Trottier - of all time mind you)

He's just a fan with a blog, man.
Writing horrible takes about the NHL isn't his job, writing horrible takes about politics is.

Thankfully the Oilers didn't win. I vowed to go to Edmonton, riot and loot a Foot Locker if Edmonton won. That wouldn't be good for my career!

Lose to the worst team in the play-in round? Check.
Miss playoffs? Check.
Get almost the worst possible draft pick of the non-playoff teams? Check.

United Cycle in Edmonton had a deal that if you bought an Oilers Jersey and they missed the playoffs you would get a $100 giftcard (this was at the beginning of March). I am interested to see how they'll handle this...
