Comedy gold out of Edmonton

By the way, Koskinen is 29th in GAA, 28th in save% among goalies who have played 10+ games and he gets 4.5m per year. Never change, Edmonton.

Where does Talbot go to be a backup now?

I wouldn't mind him as a backup on the Flames next season.

So you’re saying the Penguins run their team better than Edmonton? Who knew?

It has to happen to save that embarrassment even if he declined rapidly. Jesus to lose a potential first overall and then the player you traded for would be devastating to that franchise

Yes. Yes it would.

“We’re a .500 team because we fix the problem and it comes back, and we fix the problem and it comes back,” Hitchcock said.

It doesn't sound like the problem is being fixed to me, more like a bad patch job.

Do I have this right?

Eberle for Strome
Strome for Spooner
Spooner to waivers.

One more step.

Spooner claimed > scores 20 goals for new team before end of season.

it was General Malaise and the Crush


also, this is quite funny

Ryan Nugent Hopkins and Caleb Jones to Columbus for Scott Harrington and Sonny Milano fixes this.

I wouldn't mind him as a backup on the Flames next season.

Yeah, I'd take a chance on him too.

also, funny...


had Chiarelli just spent all day napping for the past several years, Oilers would have a line of Eberle, McDavid, Hall

Seen on an Oilers blog:

"The Edmonton Oilers would like to remind you that they don’t want to be competitive until at least 2022."


"Would you just chill out on the optimism please?"

I swear I read this as $4.5M total over three years.

That is why I can never be the EDM GM

I don't think he's too pleased these days, David...

Oh, alright. Just to do the Oil a solid, I will trade Matthews for McJesus. Straight up.

Dubas better swing that deal before the Coyotes offer sheet AM34...

Dubas better swing that deal before the Coyotes offer sheet AM34...

I am more concerned about (name your team) offer sheeting Marner.

 

[esls79]

Offer sheet.

Good one.

Offer sheet.

Good one.

They bring out the best quotes...

"For the colossal stupidity of what the Edmonton Oilers did this past summer ... If I had run my team into the sewer like that, I wouldn't throw a grenade at the other 29 teams and my own indirectly,"

Okay, back to poking fun at the Oil...

lol - Of course...

Oilers castoff Drake Caggiula living the dream on Blackhawks’ top line

I think leaving dreary Edmonton for a city like Chicago would instantly put a smile on his face.
