Comedy gold out of Edmonton

"When Peter Chiarelli and the Edmonton Oilers embraced the term and the money that was required to bring Milan Lucic to Edmonton, they knew that at some point in the contract it was gonna look ugly. They just couldn't predict that it would happen as quickly as this," Dreger told TSN Radio Edmonton 1260. "But, you look at the team in general and there's a myriad of reasons, or at least theories, as to why the Edmonton Oilers haven't achieved to the level that many of us predicted that they would and Milan Lucic is a part of that.

It's pretty telling that Oilers management couldn't determine that Lucic's game was deteriorating badly and yet they backed up the Brinks truck for him. I mean, a bunch of us ridiculed that signing at the time it was made and here's another question, how many guys do you know that get faster as they get on the wrong side of 30?

For the 11th time this season, the Oilers have allowed a goal on the first shot of the game. Last season was the outlier year in the past dozen or so, the Oilers are who we thought they were.

Whatever happened there, the only thing we can be sure of is that Grapes said it would happen.

Things are looking up for Edmonton, they allowed the opening goal on the second shot today. Baby steps.

If the fucking Oilers get Dahlin I'm, I'll.... I'm going to be really OK with the way the NHL operates. I'll be totally fine.

Seems that you tend to overestimate the value of Swedish D-men

So the Oilers have 9,999 goals in franchise history going into tonight's game. Who gets #10,000? I'd go with Kris Russell?

/own goals are still goals

//410 goals > 9,999 goals

Cool fact. I sense another banner on the horizon.

Cool fact. I sense another banner on the horizon.

They've officially got over 10,000 due to shootout winner counting as goals but the total is actual regular season goals.

/and own goals in playoff games too

 

[esls79]

Cool fact. I sense another banner on the horizon.

They are playing the Dives tonight, so yeah, spot on.

I guess they need to lead the league in something, might as well be pressers.
