Iggyidiot is talking about all of the amazing things Lowe and MacT have done, making them better than the Leafs.

They’ve gotten zero results, short of a ridiculous number of top picks. If they can’t pull a team out of the basement with all of those great things he yaps about, plus 3 first overalls, a third overall, and a seventh overall, it begs the question, how many top picks does it take to get to a playoff spot. I’m assuming just to jump a couple of spots it takes them five, therefore it must be 7 or 8 to make it to the playoffs for them? 10 to 12 for a contender?

you're such a donkey lol. You've had all these top picks, the oldest one is 22 now, why haven;t you won a cup??

so much stupid.

So he couldn't even make a weak WJC team?

ouch.
- prock

So if you don't play world juniors you're automatically don't have the potential for a Norris trophy? Correct me if i'm wrong but did Keith ever play in that tournament?

Sure as hell suggests he's got a long way to go. If he can't dominate among his own age group, it makes calling him a future Norris winner a pretty stupid statement.

Who says he shouldn't have been on the team? Not saying they would have won, what I'm saying it that is stupid to use that as an indicator of his value as a prospect or his potential.

Thanks for supporting my point tho.

The team wasnt weak because of a lack of available talent. It was weak because management made poor selections.

So...he wasn't one of the best D-Men in the CHL last year?

I will only counter with this in support of the troll label - "Smart Leafs fans are like the sasquatch...mythical."

Is this one better???

Like I said earlier, thanks for supporting my point.

He's one of the best damn posters on this site.

It would be boring as (frank) without him around here.

I still hate you Walt

Love u too. Why u no come by the Oil thread as much anymore?

I just got that one...Dozzer made me change the old one about Burn....
- Iggysbff

I remember it... I had burn's back on that one. I let him know there were numerous dumber f#@ks on HB.

An infinite number.

This isn't apples to apples.

Lowe has not had anything to do with the on ice product since the rebuild began. He had the hardest job to do when the Edmonton Investors Group owned the club. He had very little money. He made some bad moves yes.

But since becoming president when Katz took over he was tasked to turn the club into an entertainment company. He fired the old scouts nd training staff. Hired a whole new group. Built a European scouting staff. Built an entire development system that we didnt have before. We now have the AHL Oil Barons, ECHL Condors, and the WHL Oil Kings all under the Oilers banner and can now develop our own prospects. Lowe has not been perfect by any stretch. But has done many good things that most fans dont even know about. The on ice product is entirely in MacT's hands.

And the results? Oilers still finish last.

I will return when the season does.

Busy with VaCay, the kids, boat, bike, home Renos.

Summer doesn't last long up here, had to make the most of it.

It was eight (frank)ing degrees on the way to work this morning

And the results? Oilers still finish last.

So far, you are correct. The on-paper improvements mean nothing until they get it done on the ice.

Edit: Is that your prediction for 2014-15?

and Torontos results?

I hear that. Summer is way to (frank)ing short.

We've had an awesome summer here though. One of the best I can remember weather wise.

They were posted a few blogs ago. On the Oilers, Leafs and Flames thread.

I think you can find the list on Reddit.

Thanks Iggys

but... he is dominating among his own age group....
- SpoiledByOil

well, sure. Just less so than about 10 other Dmen.

Does Iggysbf say anything that outlandish? Guys like him get labeled trolls for making comments like "Phaneuf is a decent D-Man but his contract is a bit stiff and will difficult to move", or, "Bernier has yet to prove he can put up great numbers for 60+ games in a season" or "Khadri is talented, but needs to work on his 2-way game". None of those this are outlandish or false, they are however, not what Leafs fans want to hear".

Now, saying things like "Kessel sucks because he is fat", or "Rielly and Gardiner will never be dominant D-Men" or "James Reimer should be in the AHL" are all stupid and ignorant comments similar to what we here as Oilers fans. For example "RNH is too small and won't be able to stay healthy", "Justin Schultz will never be able to improve defensively" or "The Oilers will never turn the corner until Kevin Lowe is out of the organization". All idiotic comments we hear all the time.

Iggy doesn't post that kind of poop, you guys just don't like it when he says that "Holland can be a dominant forward....in the AHL". Not that I blame you, why would you like it?
- Jeropotato

If only the twat would say something like that.

they both suck!! GFG!!!
