Listening to the Oilers announcers.

Holy fuck they suck. Someone lifted McDavid's stick backchecking and you would have though the guy chopped McDavid's head off with a machete.




One of them just said that Seattle is "hoping" their offense is better (Added Beniers, Wright, Burakovsky and Bjorkstrand) and not so "one-dimensional".

Screw this, switchign over to Calgary/Winnipeg

If it is Jack Michaels and Louie DeBrusk, yeah they do suck. They want a call on McDavid on every shift.

I'm not watching, but it sounds like PLD is having a game for the Jets in Calgary.

Thought Wolanin might stick as a #7 guy

might not be Kraken the lineup

In the Blue Jackets "Behind the Battle" episode that covered the summer they showed the Jackets scouts meeting talking about players before the draft.

One was described as a "he has no power, no strength, no explosiveness, he looks like a bag of milk" by Jarmo.
Another had a scout say "he thinks he works hard but he doesn't know what hard work is".
Another was "makes weird decisions with the puck and isn't all there"

I have been wondering since I watched the episode which one was Wright.

Bag of gasoline >> bag of milk in this current environment

@dash I see the flames waive Zahorna.
I bet the Penguins will be bringing him back.

And obligatory:

Me So Horny clears waivers and has been assigned to the Calgary Wranglers of the AHL - Nice to have the farm team in the same city as the Flames, makes it easy for call-ups.

Not sure why both our teams didn't do this much earlier

Having ours in Cleveland has been pretty great.

Harrington joked he knew which restaurants were at every exit on I-71 between the two.

having ours in Fredericton was ridiculous. you'd need three days' notice to call up a player.
Syracuse and Utica were the same - you'd need to commute to somewhere that you can catch a plane

amazing they have never had a local affiliate before

Seattle not local?

 

[puckhead]

Seattle not local?

closest, of course.

but not since 1975, and a border crossing and 3 hour drive away.
at least an airport that can get you where you need to go.
