Comedy gold out of Edmonton

Hey guys, the Oilers are tired (and it's only mid-December):

To be fair, the Oilers have a) played the most games in the league thus far and b) have/will log the most miles of any team in the NHL this season (The 2016-2017 Super Schedule).

a) Flames will equal the Oilers number of games played after tonight
b) Interesting, I thought San Jose usually held that title.

I really posted the above though because I don't like Spector and his whining

Close enough really. Lots of back-to-backs for SJ too.

I don't buy it. I logged over 54,000 flight miles this past year and I never once felt tired watching an NHL game. And I had at least 3 back to backs a week to boot.

Currently being discussed on NHL Network; Do the Oilers need to go looking for better wingers for Connor McDavid?

The answer my friend is blowing in the wind

/Let's go with the premise and say yes, they do need to acquire better wingers for McGiggles - Just how do they do that? Do they trade Ryan Nothing-Happens? I guess they could, but who would they get in return?

They could trade Adam Larsson for Taylor Hall.


Wait, no one would be retarded enough to trade Hall for Larsson.

I wonder if you tried to make that trade in NHL '17 if it would be rejected?!?

That's the classic subtraction by subtraction deal. Bold strategy.

PullyourRV with 6 minutes of ice time against the worst team in the league last night. Why isn't he released to play for Finland at the WJHC? Why isn't he playing in the AHL? These questions remained unanswered.
