Comedy gold out of Edmonton

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Just waiting for Edmonton to trade their first rounder so they can trigger the slide down the standings and make that pick worth something decent.

Mark Borowiecki could bring some real grit to that blueline.

Justin Schultz has 44 points and is a +28 this season
Devan Dubnyk is regarded as a top 10 goalie in this league
Sam Gagner is having a pretty good season in CBus

My point - It takes a while to get rid of the Oilers stink

Only in Edmonton do you celebrate a 6 month anniversary for a building.

Looks like those Tier 1 fans are going to be finally rewarded after a decade of futility with a large ticket increase for the playoffs...

Edmonton Oilers fans peeved by playoff ticket prices

Rogers Place to undergo repairs 6 months after opening

No one was harmed and there was no risk to public safety, Daviss said.

That is the biggest crock of shit. A fan blade for an industrial exhaust fan can exceed three feet in length and 50 pounds in weight. They're also supposed to be covered by a guard, which means that obviously blew off as well and landed somewhere.

I'll mention this isn't the Oilers' fault whatsoever, shit breaks in new buildings all the time and trades sign warranties for a reason, but they are ass fucking lucky this thing didn't land on a car windshield or worse a pedestrian.

Taken from another board:

I don't think teams lay down for the Flames either, but I think teams bring more intensity when playing the Oilers. This team now has a reputation around the league, so it means more to get a win over us than Calgary.

Yeah, you can no longer sleep-walk for 60 minutes and get a victory against Edmonton.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

The only reputation I know of for the current Oilers is that despite their goalie being very good and their best player being the best player in the league and their team being in a playoff position at this time of the season for the first time since Stephen Harper's first year in office, their coach still reams them out every 4 or 5 games in a post-game press conference because they play like total trash.

The rep I know of for the Flames the past two years is that if they got good goaltending they'd probably be Cup contenders.

Makes sense.

Jonas Hiller once shut out the Oilers while playing with vertigo. That even one ups sleepwalking.

I really don't know why Ryan Smyth is playing senior hockey, you have to know there are idiots in these leagues just looking to make their mark by crushing an unsuspecting NHL player.

Thought it was pretty funny that Edmonton started Talbot last night - Do they have any faith in Broissoit?
