10 Lessons Everyone Can Learn From the Oilers? Misery «

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Man, that would be something, wouldn't it? I suppose he could go play in the KHL for a couple of years and then sign with any NHL team as a free agent, but I don't see it happening.

/Never say never

Maybe if the Ruble wasn't tanking faster than the Oilers...

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

They can make the call and offer. Like they called asking if Johansen was available.

The answer will be pretty much exactly the same.




What a maroon.

Although bringing up Lindros is making me think how awesome it would be if McDavid refused to show up in Edmonton.

If CBJ finish at the bottom (they won't anymore, so this is moot) and Edmonton offered that 1st, I would still take it.

You really think the Russian mafia is doing business in Rubles?

Dallas Eakins has a message for the fans in Edmonton: Be patient. Speaking at a news conference today, the outgoing Oilers coach says he understands the fans' frustration after many losing seasons.

Oh yeah, I bet that goes over well in Oil Country.

McJesus is in the Russian Mob?

No, but I think most of the owners in the KHL are. Pretty sure they can pay him in whatever currency he'd ask for.

Thought that was what you were going for. Just wasn't sure.

I mean, Putin could always take his share of the $40 billion that was embezzled from the Sochi games and fund the league for eternity, too...

By which you mean as much of it as he wants, right?

Hey, you can't spell Crimea without crime, am I right?

Vlad wants ALL of the corruption!

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Only way this could've been better is if the 2004 draft wasn't hot garbage and that Anaheim first rounder had turned into something better than Ladi Smid.

All in all it's just another brick in the wall.

As @EdmontonJack first noted, Todd Nelson is the coach of record for Oilers. Officially, he is interim head coach.

So, as the Oilers losses continue to pile up this season, it won't be affixed to MacT's coaching stats, but to Todd Nelson's. There's a word to describe that type of move by MacT, but it escapes me at the moment, can anyone help?
