Comedy gold out of Edmonton

[forty_three]

As opposed to the 10 half seasons that Forsberg actually played?

Forsberg might not have lasted a fortnight under Clarke. I had some beers with Bobby in an Ottawa bar one night. He is as pure an asshole as you would want to meet. Kind of impressive actually.

He was one of my favorite players as a kid, I even went as far as to dress up as him for Halloween once.

Now, I am not sure there is anyone in hockey I hate more. Seriously, I like Jeremy Jacobs more than I like Clarke.

McJesus and Hall will be roomies - What can possibly go wrong?

I actually wore his number in minor hockey because I loved the way he played (and when I joined there was a returning kid who wore Trottier's #19), but he is truly a fucktard.

Good to see Lowe and MacT are still influencing decisions in Edmonton.

One year of a contract for each ten games played? Sounds good.

Do prospect games count in the quest for 410?

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Let's all keep in mind that the guy giving out contracts in Edmonton is the same guy who traded away Seguin for table scraps and put his non-playoff team in such a shitty cap situation that they eventually had to trade their best defenceman for the scraps from the previous table scraps.

I hope the Oilers keep Gazdic and Moroz on the team as deterrent for taking liberties with McDavid, both those idiots will take dumb penalties and opposing teams will feast on the Oilers PK.

Oilers getting yelled at already (lol)

"This is going to drive me !$&)-/! bananas all year!" - McLellan, not happy with the latest drill at Oilers camp.

Well aware that a perennial lottery team needs to change its habits, McLellan has already stopped two drills to demand more intensity.

Mid-season form.

That's the danger of handing out those 6x6 contracts to the young guys, it's guaranteed money and provides no incentive to improve individual and team performance.

If the Oilers keep pissing off the new coach he may take away their ping pong table in the locker room.


/so what is this season of Oil Change going to be titled?

Is anybody happier to be riding an AHL team bus than Eakins right now?

I'd argue guaranteed contracts in general cause this problem. Do away with them.

"Oil Change 7: Curb your Enthusiasm"

Todd McLellan cuts to the chase on day 1 of training camp:

He has yet to play a regular season NHL game, let's make him our captain. That would be so Oiler-esque.

Who should be captain of the Oilers?

Klefbom has signed a 7 year extension with the Oil. 7 year extensions should be reserved for the cream of the crop players.
