And Edmonton keeps sitting stagnant. What's the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result every time? Riiiiight....

Wtf... When did this happen?!

I don't like Hitchcock. I don't like his style of play. I don't like where this team is going. Sigh.

Are you ready to watch the neutral-zone trap played all game, sir?




Okay, I know most teams apply some sort of trap-system but I know Hitch's pretty obvious and traditional "trap".

That's why I don't like his style of play. Incredibly boring.

Thanks for killing hockey for me, Oilers

How Sharelli is still employed is staggering.

McDavid will be begging for a trade in 1 month...wait and see.

In the meantime, I'll be down in the liquor thread if anyone wants to talk to me.

So, around 6:45pm last night - started thinking about the new Penguin hat I got last season. After obtaining around this time last season...the Pens went into a little funk. I always thought the hat was a little bit bad luck.

Well...no cup last year and what is seemingly the worst team play I've seen post-Lemieux this season...something had to go.

And with this...I exorcised the Pens Demons.



Pens win handily...who knew it was me all this time? Both Crosby and Lemieux called me after the game last night and personally thanked me for my sacrifice needed for the good of the team.

I know why he is now in Edmonton:

Wideman was one of the Senators players shown insulting the team and an assistant coach during an Uber ride in a video that went viral earlier this month.

So, he'll take that coach-insulting to Edmonton.


Although, in Oilers' case, it will be GM-insulting.

Might not create a win...but burning one sure could make watching the games easier.

Hextall - latest GM on the chopping block. Guess Philly thinks their team is more that what it really is. Personally, I would have started with that "Deer in the Headlights" coach they have...send him back to North Dakota.

Wow, talk about giving up on the #3 overall pick in the McDavid draft: Dylan Strome sent packing to Chicago.

Then again, looking at his numbers, he's done squat. Schmaltz now going to Coyotes and I'm wondering if Arizona has the better player...

Can't get enough hockey right now with the way things are going and watching the Sens tank for us

Could you imagine MacKinnon, Rantanen, and Hughes on the same team

No. Because, Edmonton is getting Hughes.

Although...the Blues are making a heavy push for this. But agree, if Edmonton is in the hunt, it's only natural they will get him and quickly ruin his playing career.

Hey. Edmonton sucks, but they don’t suck that bad. They’re hovering around 0.500

Yea, the Oilers will probably finish just two points out of 8th, and ended up being the lottery winner anyway like the Devils did two years ago.
