Comedy gold out of Edmonton

Darren Haynes ‏@DarrenWHaynes
Since Remembrance Day, the only North American pro sports team with less wins than the #Oilers (1-16-4) is the NFL's Tennessee Titans (0-6).

Lest we forget, the Tennessee Titans used to be the Houston Oilers.

Edmonton Oilers ‏@EdmontonOilers "We gave them three goals, didn't make them earn it. We can't shoot ourselves in the foot." Coach Nelson

Yeah, keeping puck possession in the Oilers zone for 58 seconds before potting a goal isn't earning it, I guess in Oiler land. Funny thing is I don't think the Flames played a great game last night and they still took the Oil to the woodshed.

Worst hashtag ever?

Sounds like something the Oilers would do.

Only, this time I'd make it as Head Coach, GM and Club Pres - sigh-oh-gnarl, Mac and Lowe.( the opposite of Sweet and Cheese?) aka The Katzenjammers.

Matt Fraser off waivers when Heatley and Roy are on waivers is not a bold enough move.

They passed on Chipchura as well, esls. No honour for Connor.

Oilers have also placed Pinnizotto on waivers - I thought he was one of the better Oilers players on Saturday night (i.e. not embracing the tank).

Also, Sam Gagner named 3rd star of the week - Damn, the Oilers could use a centre like him. Wait, what?

(i.e. not embracing the tank).

At this point, the Oilers own the tank, have made all payments on the tank, have it fully insured and even painted in their team colours.

So instead of picking him off waivers, they decide to trade for Roy instead.

Makes sense.

The only way this would make sense is if the Oilers are at the 50 contract maximum or the Preds are retaining salary. I checked though and the Oilers are at 47 contracts, so it's not a max contract issue.

He's been increasingly critical of the Oil of late and Lowe has a gestapo like control of the media in Edmonton.

Might as well trade Gazdic for Engelland well they're at it.

Dating back to Christmas one year ago, Brian McGrattan (3) and Kevin Westgarth (4) have both scored more goals than Derek Roy (2).
