He's really upset over that trade still

How many more times do we think he'll try and draw comparisons from Adam larsson to griffin reinhart ?


It's clear that he believes that no matter how ridiculously idiotic, Saying something enough times will eventually lend credence to it

It's an interesting strategy anyway

Until we lose again then it will be back to normal with the trolling proclaiming that we suck

Oh stop being the whiny HB77 poster and being doom and gloom when the team is up.
They could lose 5 in a row and still be in better shape at that point then when they were last year. Don't worry coach. Leon has got this.

Not being doom and gloom at all just pointing out that the trolls will be out in force once we lose another game to tell us how much we suck and how stupid we were for the Hall deal...you know the usual

(frank)ing canoes & rules about drunk women not allowed to have sex???

You guys just demolished the Caps, I skipped 'a few' pages & land on the pointy end of a (frank)ing canoe? What in the (frank) is going on Oil brethren???

Congrats on a great start, you might just be the Flames from a couple back, defeating all those Corsi whores & actually making those things called the playoffs!

The Oil look great! That added bit of size gained in the offseason stands out against a team like the Caps.

this team is really starting to look like something. Washington has been quite bad so far though (compared to last year). but you know the oilers vs pittsburgh game is coming up so prepare for a whooping from a REAL team compared to the caps I will be here to harrass you through the whole progress dw

Except unlike those Flames our team is winning the scoring chance and high danger scoring chance battle rather handily (56% on the season iirc) and our Corsi isn't in the low-40s (around 48% iirc). PDO is running pretty high and Talbot is standing on his head so these aren't sustainable, but I don't foresee as substantial of a drop-off when that time comes.

I mean not really. they are looking good but they are on fire. lets see how they do when they are in a slump. it is how a team handles slumps and how they play that deffines a good team. oilers (pc) will not shut critics up until they have won the stanley cup. Also how pc handles the contract extension with mcdavid will be deciding in how good a gm he might be. if mcdavid gets like 25 mil avv 7 years he might have gone overkill and destroyed the team (personally I think mcdavid will get like 12 or 13 mil avv)

What Connor gets does not at all shape how good of a gm pc is

We won't be playing hardball with him. He'll get what he wants and hopefully he sees that taking less will help him and the team. Wouldn't be like drouin or even lindholm situation. It's a gemerational face of the game type player. We don't hold the cards. He does

A Stanley cup isn't the only measure of success. It takes a ton of luck, great tending and getting hot at just the right time. As a penguin fan you think you'd know this as you were a bubble team at best by fairly late in the season and there was even talk of looking to next year.
It's much harder to be elite and a true contender every year for multiple seasons. ANd that's all one can really build for

Can't help but feel there are seriously a few "Oiler fans" that are just waiting to pounce on a poor effort by Larsson or even the team to whip out the "I told you so".

Takes an extremely high level of self delusion IMO to call out the Larsson trade as anything but a solid team move BEFORE the season started let alone after the amazing start we have had.

McIlrath on waivers. Think the Oil may be interested?
