Did the Oil snap the Flyers' 0-31487430914791744 no-win streak? Or was that the Flames? Still, if it was Edmonton helping the Philly team get their groove back...hory shet.

And we can see that Matt Kah-chuck has alot of his pops, Keith, in him.
Team Owner
Yep, we lost to them. People were saying the Oilers looked like the most uninspired team they've ever seen on the ice. Todd went on his rant after that game. Rightfully so.

Seriously, WTFBBQ is deeply wrong with that franchise. Only the Oilers...ONLY the Oilers in the NHL can draft arguably one of the best players ever and if not, the second Sid and end up being . STILL.
Pens get Sid and improve. Win Cups.
Hawks get Kane...who is not even in the same stratosphere as McDavid or Sid...improve. And Win Cups.
You can argue that Toews/Malkin contribute but they are not #1 overalls which we can use Dry-sigh-toe as the Oiler equivalent.
Seriously, Mr. Rexall should just sell the team and whoever buys, do a complete 100% overhaul of everyone involved in hockey operations. And oh, sacrifice a goat or something.
Seriously, I've lost all patience with them. It's not even fun to watch, because even if they do manage a win, you know they'll lose the next two anyway. I've put up with this bleeding misery for way too long now.

But, to have McDavid who still is breath-taking everytime he has the puck, and to see the Oil record, something is freaking wrong. And don't tell me it is the goalie. Because, ask anyone except Moog and they'll tell you that namebrand goalies don't grow on trees and so, it's not Tal-butt's fault that Edmonton stinks. Almost all teams build their systems and play AROUND defense to ensure the goalie is not made to be the second coming of Sawchuk or Hall (not Taylor).

The goal tending has been pretty bad at times. Talbot was letting in goals he shouldn't have, and he definitely cost us a few games. But, I agree, it isn't just him. It's everyone. Not enough players are scoring. Not enough players are stopping goals from happening. Hell, even
our top line does some seriously dumb shit once in awhile, but since mcjesus is on that line, no one really calls them out. Sigh.

This just in.
seems Adidas does not believe in patches. Neither this nor my home have the patches they need (Winter classic on this & 100th Anniversary on the home jersey)
I ordered both patches.

Considering the inactivity of this thread, I'm personally fine with cabby's pictures of his hockey swag.
I mean, what else is there to talk about? No-name goalies? Oilers still sucking despite having struck platinum with McDavid? Deano this? Deano that?

Nope, that was an outlier found while looking for Hank under 1,000,000.00. (why would anyone pay north of 60 bux for it)????

Well then, like, talk about hockey in here!!!
He only posts his swag because no one else posts shit in here. We should be thanking him for keeping this thread alive. My bitching about the shitty Oilers sure won't do it

How about them VGK...? Yow.

Yeah, because they actually play like they give a shit. I know a particular blue and orange team (not the islanders ) that go out on the ice every time, and sit back and relax while they get steam rolled by the opposition.
Ok, that's not totally true... but they've had enough games where they showed zero desire to be out on the ice. Sigh. If anything, the knights just battle every night they can. They go out there with an intention to win. I wonder if it'll catch up to them by the time the playoffs roll around... I wonder if they'll burn out by then. I mean, on paper, they shouldn't be anywhere near this good.

My 2012 Reebok WC jersey came with all the patches.

Even with Hank being superhuman it easily could have been 6-2. There were at least 4 times they an had open net and hit the crossbar or post.
They do not understand defense is crutial to being a winning team like the Yankees can't grasp pitching is important.
0& Chris? That has been goalie has given up 3 goals or less on 37 shots a game average (there was a 45 shot night) Can we have some freaking defense please?
