Dube #18

Dang. The Flames' scouts did their job on that day!
Absolutely. Flames scouts earned their money that year. Heck, even one of Phillips, Tuuola, and Parsons still have potential to get some NHL games in.

If there is one draft year to point to why the Oilers are sputtering, 2016 is it. You've got your high profile bust at the top, but it is the lack of value in the 2nd and 3rd round picks that is really killing the Oilers.

I got a chuckle at the Oilers fan poll that has coaching and "not enough heart" as the top reasons the Oilers are where they are. Those are symptoms, not the root cause. The root cause is poor drafting and development, particularly outside the first round. The bad trades. The coach carousel. The sense that goaltending is an issue. All caused by having one of the worst draft records in the salary cap era NHL.

It's great. I hope they all bond over fantastical conspiracies that Tkachuk is some agent of evil and that every incidental or legal play has malicious intent.

If I recall he was tweeting/retweeting amateur photoshops of Tkachuk as a turtle for a week following the little Kassian clash. Childish stuff coming from someone that supposedly works around the game. He definitely wouldn't cut it anywhere else but propogandaville. He's a glorified 80s fanboy blogger with a paper thin hide.

Saint Kassian. Just a hard-working, lunch-pail hero. They even put a Halo on his helmet.

I mean, the guy publicly and proudly confused a sink for a urinal, and then doubled-down hard when he was called out on it.

I think that says it all, no?

Staples is such a whiner. It really is a bad look for a beat reporter of an actual NHL team to be no better than an internet troll that constantly goes on a whining rampage on their social media accounts.

I’ve never thrown a punch in my life. But Staples seems like the kind of guy who would end that streak.

Oh please provide links for this. Staples is such a tool but the weirdest thing that is SO Oilers is his and Bruce McCurdy's game reviews. That these are two supposed media and this is a major newspaper posting it is embarassing. It has the aesthetic of two neckbeards posting from their Mother's basement.
