Comedy gold out of Edmonton

[dash]

Just saw a stat, unclear how true it is, but it is this.

The Oilers have surrendered the first goal of the game 34 times this season.

10 of those have been on the first shot against of the game.

Good to see the Oilers are no longer living in the past - Wait, what?

A banner for a fan-vote "award" is about as bad as a division champ banner.

No, it's much, much worse, but that's how they roll in Edmonton. Also, there's this...

They charged fans $90 to attend this event and also had a 50/50 draw. Katz has no soul.

I believe the other half of Oilers 50/50s goes to a charity or charities. Like, oooohhhh I dunno, say the the NHL lottery program.

*Helping handicapped franchises since 2010*

You know, that sort of thing.

I would think they needed a new banner to adorn the new urinals they supposedly installed this past offseason.

And if anything was right in this world, the Colorado Avalanche twitter feed would roast the Oilers for this stunt.

Hey, the Oilers didn't allow a goal on the first shot tonight. Time to raise another banner to the rafters.

 

[esls79]

I see K. Lowe is a healthy scratch for the Oilers tonight.

Oilers scored 5 goals tonight, only problem is they allowed 7.

Also, Trocheck with a hat trick gets third star. McDavid with a goal and an apple gets first star. Seems legit.

 

[esls79]

You can't spell playoffs without an L but you can spell Cam Ta7bot without one. Although he did get saddled with one tonight.

McDavid for Karlsson?

Only 5 more years at 6 shmill per season...

Can this big, Serbian body show up at camp 12 pounds lighter in September?

“I can, and that’s what I have to do, Yes. I agree with you on that,” he said. “I have been changing my diet. Not even next summer. Right now is where (the transformation) needs to start, for me to continue producing at a high level.

“I weighed in at camp at 236. Right now I’m 238. I have to get down to 225. It’s just a matter of will and want. Wanting to.”

Usually, when players are charged with losing weight, it’s because they’re not in shape. This one is different, and it won’t be easy.

But this much we know: 238 pounds doesn’t work anymore. It can’t, in today’s NHL

And Milan Lucic knows it.

McDavid for Karlsson?

More like Dahlin. You know it's going to happen.

McDavid for Karlsson?

It's the Oilers scouts. "Top Defenseman" means something different to them.

And since Phaneuf is already gone, it's all about JMFJ

Whoop dee freakin' do, Bob?!? How are they doing against the rest of the league?
