Oilers are on a roll this season! 0-4!! I hope the number one draft pick is epic at year end, again. We need to ruin someone else's career.

Just wanted to let you know Max Domi is now leading rookies in scoring. More points than Panarin or Lindberg in less games and a more favorable spelling of his last name over team mate Anthony Duclair.

And just wanted to you know again that as I've been taught forever in here, nothing matters unless it's a stud rookie from Deano's LA system or from Finland.


Everyone else sucks.

Well, not sure if you're paying attention...so far, looks like the Oilers aren't content with ruining McDavid...they want to ruin ALL future superstars.

Fwiw, I'm pretty sure that Saku Koivu had an affair with Tie Domi's wife. Max is the bastard offspring result of those carnal relations.

But, again...here's the thing. Saku's "winning" gene from his Finlandian heritage got neutralized by Me Idiot's (Tie Domi rearranged for you newbs) wife and her Maple Leaf blood.

So, really...Max Domi is a meh player. Unless he goes to LA and becomes a King. Only then, will he be the next Selke, Norris, Calder, Vezina, Jennings (important), and Hart trophy winner.

No chance. He's a chip off the old cement head. Have you seen that noggin. Looks like Tie 2.0

But not as skilled

Give him a chance, Tie didn't start playing international soccer or playing in the Canadian Football league until he was in his mid 30's. Max can still become a multi sport pro athlete like his old man and Bo Jackson.

He'll probably break the 20 goal barrier tonight against the Bruins.

Jackets recent precedent is to start shitty, then finish the season with a tease.

You don't know anything, obviously.

I'll start a "Thanks for taking 6.75 million per year off our Cap so we can sign Stamko's" chant when I'm at a game in December.






And thus far, Kessel hasn't been very good in Pitt. Although its a big change. They'll need time to mesh.

But they took back 2.2 mil on Nick Spalings contract this year and 1.25 per year on Kessel's contract for 7 years.

Kessel cost the pens 4.55 mil this year.

So, in other words, even more win for the Pens.

8 minus 1.25 = 6.75.

Who cares about Spaling. He'll be gone soon.

And I was wondering where the hell he came from
