Comedy gold out of Edmonton

[Maverick426h]

Actually, the math is not accurate. 82-0 with 492 goals. 574 goals is just not even possible.

I knew I shouldn't have tried to figure that out on my own. Shoulda made a spreadsheet or something.

Seems like we're headed back in the correct direction

Can't play Calgary every game...

I like it... not Eriksson quality, but still nice.

Oilers coaches pissed already
Cancelled a mandated day off to add a practice (presumably a bag skate) tomorrow.

I'm quite cheering for Taylor Hall to have a career year

Friend of mine said the other day the Oilers traded Taylor Hall for a worse version of Jeff Petry. I think he's onto something:

I say they should lose a first round draft pick as punishment

But who would be the lucky guy?

Nice lid (lol)

Fair enough. Also references an old inside joke among some of the posters on here.

There was a guy back at the swamp (ESPN boards) who insisted, along with "math" to support it, that the 2008-09 Oilers were going to score 410 goals that season. His name? Harvard_Oiler!!

One of the all time great ESPN posters

Pay the man his money.

The Oilers Entertainment Group says the man who bought a winning 50/50 ticket at a hockey game last week - then missed the deadline to claim his $67,000 prize - won't have to wait long to learn whether his luck was good that day or very, very bad.

Clayton Hinkey bought his ticket during the Oilers game against the Buffalo Sabres on Sunday, Oct. 16.

He was at the game with his four-year-old son, Roscoe, and the boy had missed his nap. So dad and son headed home not long after the second period started.

Hinkey didn't remember to check his ticket until Thursday.

"Holy man, I couldn't believe my eyes," he said.

That was the good-luck part.

The not-so-good-luck part came when he learned that winners have two business days to claim their prizes, and he'd missed the deadline.

Translation: "The Sabres went up 4-2 before the second was even half-way done and he said to himself "I've seen this story before" and promptly left to beat the traffic.

You guys know I like to poke fun at the Oilers, but I'd like to congratulate Cam Talbot and his wife Kelly on their recent additions to their family and this tweet is pretty durn cute.

Seems legit.

As odd as it seems, if you're going on stats alone, the only one you could take issue with would be goaltending. Braden "the Sieve" Holtby wasn't named first star of the week, but his stats are better.

But so far, Edmonton is actually ahead in GF, PP, and PK. Weird.
