The Oilers win. Again. Good. I really don't want them getting McDavid. they won't, you have nothing to worry about..Arizona/Buffalo gets him..there is ZERO chance the league allows the Oilers to draft another #1 again.. now...they have a better chance at getting Eichel at #2...but I don't see them ...

Bye bye Randy! I think this was bound to happen sooner than later anyway..

Rask/Lucic for Hall/1st pick? If Edmonton can come up with the space for Rask. Hall/Krecji/Pastrnak would be the 1st of the future. That would give the Bruins two first round picks and two second rounders in a deep draft and 7 million in cap space on top of the 7 or so million that will be opening ...

It won't be the Oilers, even if we end up last, we don't end up with him, he'll go to Carolina/Arizona... as much as not getting a "generational" type player that McDavid/Eichel is, this team needs a Top 2 Dman and a #1 goalie and change also needs to happen from the top down ( Lowe ) I th...

I honestly think they'll end up losing out on McDavid somehow, which even if they ended up with Eichel I'd be happy BUT if you ask 90% of Oilers fans, we'd pass on both to play competitive over the remaining games..I know it sounds stupid to pass on a generational talent like McDavid/Eichel but Tayl...

Taylor Hall on the trade block? Take a ridiculous over payment. The management at Edmonton completely over values their players . More than most other teams. Florida vs Washington set a new record for the longest shootout in NHL history. Florida won in the 20th round. 5 times Florida had to score t...

Oilers discussing a trade that would send David Perron to Columbus for Artem Anisimov. Wow... That will change.... Uh.... NOTHING. not really nope...If anything it helps us with a possible 2C, keeping Draisatl on the 3rd line and Gordon on the 4th ( who is probably the hardest working guy on the te...

Watching the Oil get slaughtered by the Hawks right now. I figure Eakins will be gone before sunrise Monday. I agree Edmonton's management hasn't surrounded the kids properly, and IMO the kids are not developing under their current leadership. Total mess. it's time for Lowe to go, 14 years and 3 pl...

^^ Welp, at least the Devils got a win in their damning west Canadian trip. 8) Still mediocre to no end though! it's no secret the team needs a true #1 Dman....2010...taking Gudbranson over Hall..2011...Larsson over RNH and 2012 - Murray over Yakupov..I guess you could look back on and say "th...

Nice to see the Isles back on top of the conference. Even for a while. If only the Oilers could do the same ... At least the Flames are showing some improvement after last year. I love seeing the Flames above the Kings. It wont end that way but it looks good now. Fuck this team, I've been a fan sin...

The Leafs look HORRIBLE. Liking my Canucks right now, but they haven't exactly faced stiff competition. The Sedins with Vrbata looks good and I like the energy of the other lines for the most part. We still don't have a top defenceman which is going to fuck them over in the end. Edler is a big bag ...

1984,1985,1987,1988,1990 - 5 Cups in 7 years... fuck all y'all... :lol: "We walked by their locker room in the corridor and saw after they won they were too beat up to really enjoy it and savor the victory at that moment," said Gretzky. "We were able to walk out of their pretty much s...

hard to argue with that..they do disappoint..I think the 4 different coaches in 5 years has alot to do with it..plus Tambellini was a puppet who didn't do jack shit while he was GM..the rebuild has gone on waaaaaaay to long...attracting quality UFA's is difficult and will be until they ice a compet...

i forgot aboot dallas. add them in there. the wild card spots will be a race between 6 or 7 teams. Which Vancouver will loes imo. Central predictions: 1. Chicago 2. St Louis 3. Minnesota 4. Dallas 5. Colorado 6. Nashville 7. Winnipeg Pacific predictions: 1. Anaheim 2. San Jose 3. LA 4. Vancouver 5....

taking this loss a little hard I guess

Madness sure to ensue today: - Habs acquire P.A. Parenteau for Danny Briere yesterday (love it). - Jason Spezza just traded to Dallas for Alex Chiasson, other youngsters, and picks (Dallas will soon be a power house) UPDATE - - Habs sign Manny Malhotra 1 year/850 K (excellent, 2nd best faceoff % in...

The Canucks are getting fleeced today imo. Not long to go now! I don't think so. The return was good for Kesler. If Kesler were healthier/happier maybe he would command more, but Bonino is a legit 20 goal guy; Sbisa has moved around a lot but I think he has upside on D, and a 1st rounder is just th...

We get ZEE GERMAN!



He'll be the big Center we crave..happy with the pick...

I've been asking myself that as well..

As a result of this deal, Canadians will be able to find NHL game coverage on up to nine different channels on some nights during the season. Should be changed to "And thanks to the CRTC, eight out of nine different channels will be blacked out on some nights during the season." this reas...

the comparison is that they both have crazy offensive skill and neither can play in their own end. federov was put on the fourth line with a couple of grinders. the canucks had a habit of putting young skill guys with plumbers and under 5 mins of ice time per game. can't develop your guys like that...

If I was Vancouver GM Mike Gillis I would trade Edler straight up for Yakupov right now. if you were mike gillis you'd realize that edler has a no trade contract and probably wouldn't want to go to siberia. you'd also realize that yakipov has the worst +/- in the LEAGUE. remember fedor fedorov? sam...

was kind of excited about the Eakins hiring at first, supposed to be "good with younger players, look how Kadri turned out"..blah, blah, blah...I don't know now..maybe they aren't buying into his system?..we need D BADLY, I'd trade anyone who isn't named Hall or Nugent-hopkins..Eberle woul...

So, looks like the Oil just signed Bryzgalov...this should be interesting..isn't the guy scared of bears..does he know where Edmonton even is? :lol: he knows that edmonton isn't humangus. and that it's cold and snows like the north poll. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Ns14hRqwY8 fucking love this ...

Holgrem has blown is. He traded Richards, JVR and Simmonds. Signed guys like Chef Bruno and Mark Streit and paid way too much for Bryz.

You forgot Carter.

I think he meant Carter?..Simmonds still plays for the Flyers.

Exhibition game in Florida...in their defense, it was a 2:30 PM start, not sure what they were thinking on that one..
