I've known that phrase and have used it for 4 or 5 years...it isn't new or anything like that
- OilHorse

I know its not new but everyone is using it more often now... seems like the new catch phrase...

I don't see why you feel guilty. If a players played amazing he gets praise if he suck well he gets rain. It's part of life. I read your blogs because you write it as you see see it. I'm even more interested then ever in the Oilers because of your writing. Keep it up and please don't get into the apology blogs too often.

Does anyone else find it interesting - the current catch phrase 'it is what it is' has become an epidemic??? Every (frank)er I know uses that phrase- work, home bar etc... who knows though could be that I live in Saskatoon...

Use it when you blow your load after 15 seconds.

Yakupov should not be playing in the NHL this year. He had a few good minuites in the season opener, but other than that he looked like a boy amongst men. He is just too immature to be an NHLr. He is lacking confidence and it shows in the way he plays. With all of the cap trouble coming in the next few years why burn a year of his entry level deal? Can the Oilers send him back to the KHL or would that burn a year of his contract still? I doubt he would go back to Sarnia.

Not to me...and I don't hear it more than normal...you are just noticing it, sort of like a car you newly acquire, you never noticed how many other people have those cars until you get one.

Serious??? I am guessings you are being sarcastic as it was his 1st game... and on that PP... I can see him scoring in bunches with that shot of his!

Verty true...

Not sure about anyone else but- I find the Ducks are quietly piling up the pts... I know it was over Vancouver and Calgary but still.... Sorry I just had to... until we play them

Agree...he has said it was his dream to play in the NHL...he just played his first game of his dream job...let him get over his nerves.

...no wonder you are old and alone...you need to make it to 20 seconds at least before you say something like that...@ 30 second you can scream "I Win" in her face...jesus man, etiquette

For once I was not being sarcastic. It is laughable that I'd judge him so hard after one game, the fact is we only have 5 games to evaluate him before his ELC kicks in (I think). He had a bad World Juniors and was lackluster in the latter part of his KHL debut. Granted he was spectacular before that. Given the stage this team is at, I just think the Oilers would do better to maximize his deal. Rather than have Shultz and him come off ELC's in the same seaon. Just my opinion.

That's funny. I'll try it out tonight.

Corey Power Potterplay 1 Clouts 0 You can rebound Rich I believe unless Horcoff is on twitter now and reads your blogs for the past 3 years then your goose is cooked.

P.s When is Yoast's Jim O'Brien Blog coming on? he was on here saying he'd be better than Nail or Maybe it Was his Mom Either way tell Travis to make it Snappy

Get your fact straight.

Yost never said that. He is IMO the best writer on this site. It was that Senstroll dude that was spouting about Jim OBrien.

... no wonder no one likes you

Gotta laugh- Esplen's blog has the Hart= Pavel Datsyuk
based on 2 games of the year... Considering how shotty Detroit has looked- I see them going nowhere but down... Amazing how one dman disinegrates a team... Pronger you bastard!!!!!!!

Must admit- Seguin has been looking good in 2 games as well...

Schultz is on a 2 year entry level contract, Yakupov has 3

I think he meant that Jim O'Brien wrote the comment, because no one else would make such a stupid claim.

It did seem odd that you were ripping on players after an exciting, hard fought win. Maybe when the oilers win, intead of writing the good, the bad and the ugly, you should write the good, the better, the best.

We can't call each other gay anymore, so now guys have to tell each other that they suck. It doesn't mean much.

Really!? That's gayer than a rainbow fanny pack full of Richards.

(frank) Clouts, I can't read all that.

To sum up the blog.....He said Corey Potter sucked, and Potter replied on twitter "thanks".

Cloutier's conscience got to him as he has a sleepless night being toured by the 3 ghosts of Oilers past showing him all the times he hurt an Oilers feelings so he woke up and wrote a long blog trying to remove his guilty, dirty feeling he has.

I love pomegranates but theyre a pain in the ass to get into.

I'll take that over years of the rise, fall and return of It's All Good.
Wait, it all kinda sucks when the record keeps looping.
