I talk shit but I liked chiapet. His big problem was he fell in love with role players and paid them too much money.

And he didn't re-sign super star leader, never missed on a penalty shot, and undisputed Mayor of Charlestown Shawn Thornton.

Well, after getting blanked by the Leaves, Coach Todd calls out the Oilers team.

So, you change out the President, GM, and coach a bazillion times over...heck...sign some "sexy" goalies to stop those pucks. Sign an overpriced D-man who was really not THAT great...and of course, cheat fate and get McJesus...

Where are the Oilers now? Well on their way to another #1 overall pick. Someone hand me a puke bag.


And oh, they play the Stars next who I believe will make mincemeat of the Oil.

And can someone tell me how Bernier-this and Bernier-that...the greatest prospect to ever (more so than Sid, Gretzky, Super Mario) that the LA Kings STOLE...is complete ...?

Of course, really truly, it's just the genius of Deano who REALLY knew Bernier-this and Bernier-that was not all THAT and hyped Bernier-this and Bernier-that to such Star-Wars proportions that the Leaves were conned.

That must be it.

So the internet, wise and crafty as it is, has found a way to make the All Star game interesting. Please join in the campaign of Bettman trollers and vote Scott for 2016. As it currently stands, Big John Scott is 2nd in voting for the Captain of the Pacific division. Think about that for a second, John Scott All Star Captain playing in a 3 on 3 tournament.

This is a thing that needs to happen.

To round out my 10 ballots for today I voted for Crosby once (I just want to hear his excuse for blowing it off, again) my other 9 metro votes went to BlackAcks boy Bobby Farnham.

Atlantic division, all 10 votes went to perennial Lady Byng candidate, Zac Remaldo (Sweeney knew he's be an all star).

Central Division, all 10 went to Tyler Seguin in an attempt to keep a rapist from receiving the most votes.


But seriously, who doesn't want to see a joke of a game made even more of a joke by putting Rinaldo, Farnham, and Big John Scott out there.

I voted for John Scott. Hopefully, he'll challenge Kane to a fight and knock some sense into that dumb@$$.

Ovechkin could score 100 goals this season and it still wouldn't be as awesome as John Scott in the All Star game.

Yessir, I'm excited to see Dallas gangbang the shit out of the Oilers on the ice tonight

Wifey's dad is flying in from Germany for the holidays and she wanted to take him to an Oilers game. All i said was "NOPE. Not burning $450 for 3 upper bowl seats, just to watch them get destroyed." Add a few beers and dinner that night, and it easily becomes a $650-700 night for the three of us.

No. Fucking. Way.

The one positive for Kane's full-stupid during the off-season is that he appears focused and wants to win the Hart and Art Ross. He's on some kinda impressive role...no denying his talent is up there with Sid and Seguin...albeit, he also apparently has the frat-boy mentality of Manziel that seriously needs to go.

I am cynical...so, I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. Good thing he's on a team with Keith, Seabrook, and Toews though. Can you imagine if he were an Oiler or something? Probably be on TMZ every day.

In comparison, my brother is in disneyland right now with his family. He got 4 tickets to an Anaheim game (I believe they were the bottom of the upper bowl), 2 beers, 2 pops (for the kids) and four hot dogs for $180

Got too eager...it's the Bruins. Thought it was Dallas. But, that's not exactly an breather against the "rebuilding" Bruins. So, chalk up 2 more losses!

The oilers franchise will be PISSED if they don't get the first overall pick this year, due to the lottery.

Pretty sure they will get it.


It's now a running gag between the Count and Katz...the Oilers are the defacto landing place for ALL #1 overall picks.

In other words, if you're a hotshot prospect, you better stop working so hard. Cuz, being #1 overall is not a privilege...it's a punishment. Stop over-achieving.

Let the record show for the 's here, do not put any credibility into anything yummy cakes posts here. He's always wrong.

And since Moogelino is no longer around I will point out that the Tampa Bay Yzerman's are sitting uncomfortably outside the bubble.

That's what I mean. If, by some odd chance (and yes, it is a small, tiny, infinitesimally minute chance- because Oilers), they don't get the first overall pick, the Oilers franchise will shit itself. They won't know what to do.

It's the internet. We're all always wrong and if we're not, we're still all losers for spending time on the internet. It's a vicious circle.

Well, hopefully it's entertaining...they'll either play well and pleasantly surprise you or play horrifically bad which is also comedic.

Well seeing as they beat the Bruins last night (gasp!), I'm sure this one will be a loss. It's rare for them to go on a 2 game winning streak. No joke.

Scott has said he'll politely decline...so, as amusing as this stunt is, I doubt he'll suit up.

Although, I think a Scott with Phil Kessel line-up would be a dream.
