Comedy gold out of Edmonton

[dash]

Guys, maybe I was wrong about Jeff "PK" Petry - Since dealing him away, the Oil have gone 0-6-1 and have scored 10 goals while allowing 28 goals.

/Petry for Norris?

Those signs are ugly, dated and old: Axe could fall on City of Champions slogan

From the comments section - New slogan should be "Wayne Gretzky slept here"

Oilers officially eliminated from playoffs for the 9th straight year

Staying mathematically alive into March = bold move!!

I anticipate the Oilers competing well into Smarch next year.

Could add "Farm team for ranger$ 1994 Stanley Cup Championship" or is that going too far?

They're just going to drop the font size on "Edmonton"

They figure people not realizing that they're going to Edmonton will help boost tourism.

Hard to argue with that

Probably better than the Winnipeg slogan still:

its shaping up pretty good for a repeat of last season

final day of the season ... oilers beat the canucks in a meaningless game ... go from spot 29 to spot 28 in the nhl draft lottery ... spot 29 wins draft lottery

make it happen oprah (but make the final game of the season not matter to the canucks because theyre already in the playoffs )

They screwed themselves out of Patrick Kane in a similar fashion - won their last game of the season against the playoff bound Flames and leap-frogged the Hawks right out of the lottery. Hawks won and selected Kane, Oilers selected Sam Gagner who is now a Coyote.

Maybe if the Oilers lost, the league wouldn't have fixed the draft to allow Chicago to get Patrick Kane, and maybe the Flyers would have multiple cups by now

Oilers are no good

Pretty honest piece from Jason Gregor (surprised Lowe hasn't demanded its removal with his gestapo-like control of the media).

Gregor: Oilers have gone nowhere fast

Sure, but the Oilers would've just ruined Kane and he'd be a middling NHLer on the Coyotes, just like Gagner.

You're probably right.

P Kane would have become Robbie Schrempfpfpfpfpf or however the hell he spells his name

Hate to say it, but the Flyers would have taken JVR if they had the 1st pick anyway. Philly wanted a future power forward.

I really don't care who wins the draft lottery this year as long as it's not Buffalo.

I don't think it was because they wanted a future power forward - it was because he was from the area

The Flyers were looking for a power forward winger. Taking the hometown kid is nice, but they honestly believed JVR was the best player in the draft.

Either way, it wasn't smart

I have no idea what Holmgren was thinking when he acquired Streit MacDonald. I had no problem seeing them leave the Isles.

Does anybody else think McDavid can't save the Oilers?
