CGY's goaltending is a disaster, but their team is not as bad off as EDM was in 2010.

I think Hartley's a great coach, just pathetic roster. I just hope CGY doesn't get mcdavid in 2015

I'm trying to be positive about the goalie situation. Miracles happen.

I think we will be out of the Mcdavid range, but Reinhart is a huge possibility.

the blog name, "Friday night randoms" reminds me of the Iron Horse for reasons I need not describe further

Hemsky's value is at an all time low, and I'd rather he go to the east because I see him lighting it up when he leaves EDM.

Bernier's 6'3 220. Good 3rd line option. Although he did (frank) over NJ in game 6 last year
- TheNugeIsHuge

Bernier isn't really a physical beast out there. He does muck it up a bit though. Maybe it would be best to run with 3 scoring lines and an energy line. Starting Hemmer on the 3rd line RW. Maybe upping his value at he trade deadline to get a more physical winger

he said Yakimov* not Yakupov.

lol the confusion has begun
- TheNugeIsHuge

Figured that would happen just as i pushed "submit". Shoulda picked another 94. Now i've done it.

Definitely funny.

The fact that this is my entertainment for a Friday night is the sad part.

But...

It is really funny knowing that people actually think Kessel is better than Hall.

Can someone please tell me what Phil Kessel has that Taylor Hall doesn't?

The only thing I can come up with is a right handed shot.
- Boom.

In all seriousness I think Kessel might have a better shot than Hall...but Hall's is very very good so it really comes out in the wash.

I think with the contract they gave rammo, he's the starter. Tsn indicated as much if I remember correctly

I see, well ya can't really complain I guess. He did give you guys his best years.

I never thought any fan base could be as rediculous as TO's, but Buffalo has them beat by far. The best is when they call the city of Edmonton a poophole!
- Jeropotato

delusional. CGY fans on this site are pretty reasonable, some I know are giving up cheering for CGY cuz they don't wanna cheer for a last place team lol. TB fans are kind of female dogy. Most of the other fan bases are fine. BUF and TO, especially BUF, are horrid

Think kipper is coming back, or is he done?
- HouseArrest187

I'm pretty sure he is done. The team gave Columbus permission to talk to him, so he is done as a flame for sure. That was before they signed Bob though.

I'd love hemmer to return. Other fans here sound eager to rid of him.

poop... all I saw was yak and I started writing.

he had 64 hits which is more than "premier power forward" Max pacioretty, parros, mclaren, n JVR

Did he say he was looking to change #'s, or is this the usually brilliant speculation of HB posters?
- Jeropotato

All I know is he always played 10, after bure.

Lol I know I was responding to your flames question, but I am by no means a flames fan. I'm an oilers fan.

I meant like go beast mode and run over people on his way to the net, but then again Ben Eager doesn't either. I like the Hits but Parros and McLaren play like 5 mins a game.

JVR reminds me of PRV

Yeah , but N64 is a pretty cool nickname, even he probably never even played one.

oh poop... I am soooo sorry.

Seriously.

idk. He looked pretty reckless in the playoffs last year. His hit/Scuderi's dive cost them game 6/ the series

But Stafford, someone who has outpointed Hemsky by 20% over the last 3 seasons, is only work a 3rd? He is younger, bigger and has better numbers.
- Marshalle

No contradiction here. He said he'd offer a 3rd for Stafford, and that Hemsky was worth a 2nd. He didn't necessarily say that Stafford was worth less than Hemsky, only that the Oilers have no incentive to go acquire Stafford unless it was a good deal.

Probably never even wiped his ass with toilet paper before he moved here. THAT'S why he moved his family.

I'm just saying maybe its worth the gamble to hold on to hemmer till the deadline. Dougie murray fetched a 2nd I believe

- Morris

Kessel's career avg SH% is 10.9
Hall's career avg SH% is 11.9

also meaning even though Hall had a better PPG than kessel this year, Hall was shooting below his avg at 10.4(1.5 less than avg) and kessel was shooting above his avg at 12.4(1.5 higher than avg)

- Killbot460

a 2nd and a conditional 2nd

that guy isn't NHL quality

- HouseArrest187

And here I thought he was born with a silver spoon up his ass.

Wait, who are you talking about again?

oh poop... I am soooo sorry.

Seriously.

All good bro, I enjoy your posts so it's easy to forgive
