[dash]

Anybody need a guy who can't skate, has stone hands, and couldn't punch his way out of a wet paper bag?

I heard Toronto offered a first rounder, but they didn't want to wait until the 2012 draft.

No thanks. We already have that guy.

Changing of the guard ? Stortini waived by Oilers

On Tuesday, head coach Tom Renney took time to compliment Stortini even as he sold this move as one of evolution.



/Had to make a caveman crack, didn't he?

Today's you gotta be kidding me moment is awarded to Tom Renney - From the article in puck's post...

He's everything that a coach wants in terms of his character, his coachability," Renney said of Stortini. "He's a great teammate, he's tough, he's got terrific hockey sense."

That's got to go up there with our friends "the defensive powerhouse" and "Kyle Sveltewood"...

On the Oilers, that mean he can tie his own skates if you give him enough time.

Holy fuck...

that "display" against Kris Barch a couple of weeks back must have finally opened some organizational eyes

he cant really skate, he cant pass , he can't score, I guess he provides some energy sometimes, but he cant fight ... why waste a roster spot when you have a nuclear deterrent like Steve MacIntyre who can step in and dress when you anticipate a rough or dirty game ... if Macintyres not enough, ditch the smurf agenda and draft some guys with size that can play

in the meantime, just let the kids play

I don't think that statement is farfetched. Souray seems to break his hand quite often duriing fights.

its far-fetched with respect to the fact Souray doesnt play for the oilers farm team in Oklahoma city

Well, we will have to find somebody else to bash in about 20 threads a year...

party pooper.

I don't know any Oiler prospects, because they are all playing in Edmonton!

 

[jstewismybastardson]

I read a weird article on Souray last week where he kept fawning over Shawn Horcoff ... just seemed odd ... seemed like he was trying to get the Oiler captain "on his side"

Corey Perry on a list with Sean Avery??

Perry deserves BETTER.

Why isn't Cal Clutterbuck on that list?
