Do the Coilers turn to koskinen next game with the season on the line?

On second thought

Josh Archibald just cost his team their season.

He doesn’t do that, Oilers likely win.

Is it time to makes this a thread about cars again?

 

[tsawchuk]

WTF? Turned this off after 4-1. Gotta really suck to be an Oil fan today.

Like everyone else, I turned this one off. But at least *I* held on until the Jets got their second.

Connor's expression at the draft lottery...

Connor's expression after the Ehlers goal...

Considering his alternative was going to Buffalo where he'd have been golfing a month ago, he'd probably be making the same expression.

The amount of chirping from my Oilers buddies has basically been non-existent in the last few days lol

All things serious, besides the fucking mountains of picks and prospects they could get for McDavid and Draisaitl the cap space alone would be able to net nearly as many assets given how cap strapped most good teams are right now.

The Oilers aren’t better off without those two (nobody would be, they’re two of the best on the planet obviously) but there probably isn’t a better time to reset than right now. Imagine what someone like Mark Hunter or Dale Tallon could do with all that draft capital.

There is no way Holland would survive either of them wanting to leave. Complete and utter failure.

I worry about RNH. I want him here and the Jackets should have interest. But Holland is gonna have to empty his pockets to try and keep him. Those three and Nurse is pretty much all he has. No way he can afford to lose Nuge for nothing at all.



Anyway... I dated a girl whose parents had one of these. On purpose. Her dad actually said "I wanted something a little sportier"

Terrible back seat space.

I think Drai is the more likely of the two to actually flex muscle and demand out. Connor has too much of the dumb “good Canadian kid” to him to actually do it until they’re rock bottom again (which will probably be next year).

I could see them giving Holland the reins to go through a rebuild because why would they start making good decisions now?

/Was it three pedals at least?

Nope.

0-60? Yes.


I had one of these

Only positive is that a BMX bike would fit in the hatch.

Yup, I mean, I don't think anybody was holding a gun to his head when he signed that 8 year contract when signing a 4 or 5 year contract would have been the better move. Teams need to be wary of Draisaitl though because if they think he can drive his own line, they're sorely mistaken.

These guys never get traded to teams to be “the guy” though (exception: Phil Kessel for two firsts and a second).

Think a team like Florida or Carolina who already have the complementary pieces in place (and aren’t in the same conference).
