Comedy gold out of Edmonton

Last time I checked, he was as good as PK Subban...

Jeff Petry signs one-year deal to remain with Oilers - CBSSports.com

so the Habs will surely use this contract as a comparable.

EDMONTON - When it comes to the image department, this city needs a ton of work, says Edmonton writer Todd Babiak. “The baseline here is terrible. We have a bad reputation.”

We are so lost, Babiak says, that when Oprah Winfrey recently came to town to give a speech, the U.S. cultural maven was presented with a gift of truck nuts, ornamental testicles that hang from the back of a truck and are a symbol of Southern U.S. redneck pride.

Staples: How do we fix Edmonton?s image problem?

Need to send up the signal. He needs to photoshop truck nuts in Tom's hands

Can we get some bold and increased font size on the word truck in that post?

No need to anger the Googlegods with a simple misunderstanding.

I guess Jason Strudwick (former NHL player and now Oilers analyst) was on TSN the other day and they posed the following question to him: "If you were starting a NHL franchise from scratch and could choose either Taylor Hall or Drew Doughty as your player to build around, whom would you choose?"

Strudwick selected Hall

Mediocre player, mediocre analyst

How the heck did Strudwick get a job as an analyst? As far as I'm concerned Doughty is the best defenseman in the entire NHL.

I agree Matty, MacT has done a 360 degree turn.

BOLD!

I like this paragraph from Matty's article:

The defense is where the biggest and most interesting battles will take place. The Oilers added Fayne, Nikitin and Aulie in free agency this summer to go along with the rising young talent in the organization. The defense is slowly going to become a strong suit in Edmonton but it’s when all the ducks are in order and the management group knows who’s who in the zoo. Fayne and Nikitin are defense first players that like MacTavish said make the Oilers defense resemble something close to an NHL defense over the group that struggled with a league worst 3.26 GAA and 32.9 shots allowed (26th).

Start planning the parade down Whyte Avenue.

Being able to detach your entire arm in an attempt to make a save could come in handy sometimes.
