Comedy gold out of Edmonton

[forty_three]

Hockey is my religion and I wear my religion on my head.

What's he gonna do when McJesus scores three?




Note to Oilers fans: In addition to jerseys when the team sucks, you are also expected to throw hats on the ice when a player on your team scores three goals in a game.

I think these guys belong to the Church of the Unknown Comic, 43...

Oilers signing Spengler Cup players now, what could go wrong?

Thought that was pretty obvious.

Would hope Nurse is at least a "not untouchable but doubtful to be moved" kinda guy.

They've been good for a long time, and a rebuild is needed.



RNH, please pick up the white courtesy phone.

The one thing to keep in mind is that the Oilers are moving into a spanky new arena next season, Daryl Katz would probably like to keep his young (if not so shiny) toys to appease the masses.

/Even if it is painfully obvious that Hall, RNH, and Yakupov need to be moved.
//Eberle and McJesus seem to have chemistry, besides I don't think you'll get all that much for Eberle anyway

Matty, are you as tired of those 5th season Scotiabank commercials as I am? Here are the five seasons in Edmonton:

April-August: Stanley Cup next year!
September: Okay, well playoffs for sure!
October: I said playoffs maybe
November-December: Progress! and playoffs next year for sure!
January to March: Let's win the lottery!

Some post game comments from Todd McClellan:

"A lot of talk about having a quarterback and stuff like that, it had nothing to do with the quarterback on the power play. That had to do with the forwards, really high-end, talented, skilled forwards that you put out there that can win you a game in that situation and just turnover after turnover after turnover after turnover. Disappointing."

It's kinda scary that a 18 year old kid is the best player on this team and it's not even close. I guess what I'm saying is how bad would the Oilers be without winning the lottery and nabbing McDavid. Even with him, there are still plenty of flaws with this team.

Coiler twitter account cheering zack as he leaves his fight to throw a high hit lol

Well, no one has ever tweeted about an Oilers playoff game, so I guess they have to tweet about something.

Anyone else think the Oilers' Twitter guy got an offer from Medicine Hat and realized at best it's a path to Vancouver and at worst it's a path out of Edmonton?

Nail Yakupov requested trade from Edmonton Oilers

Nail Yakupov requested trade from Edmonton Oilers

I guess that the Oilers are expecting at least a first round pick in return is the main reason why Yak is still with the Oil. News flash to the geniuses in Edmonton, just because you picked him first overall doesn't mean he's worth a first rounder today.
