Was expecting more from the Oilers today. Coyotes and a day game. Should have known better..... going to have drinks with a hottie soon. Shouldn't complain.

Was about to ask how in the world you expected that, but then you addressed it. Afternoon game, against the Coyotes, with Mike Smith in net, it's nationally broadcast AND the team is at home where their PP has struggled. Literally nothing on their side.

I hope we resign Russell. Really like what he brings to this team. 2 years 3-3.5/ year range maybe

I'll pass on that. Can't have more cap space taken up with Draisaitl, Nurse and McDavid needing extensions. If he gets an extension, it shouldn't be for more than another year.

Hey now... Gagner was set to have an amazing season.
- TheGiftofGod

Take a hike JB you moron

Please just send Pouliot. Slepy and Pitlick have been much better and scratching them to play him mystifies me. It wouldnt be a difference maker but yeah.
- TheTaoOfSemenko

Freeing up the cap space long term would be more beneficial in my eyes. He's playing like poop. Takes so many stupid penalties that hurt us.

I think Brett hull only played like a half a season in his rookie year for the flames. A nod your talking about his leadership or lack of for the flames? Your an idiot!!
- pzoxic

Yeah the Flames were so impressed with his leadership and scoring ability they traded him for nothing. Wise choice.

That was just running a rapist out of town as soon as they could.

Draisaitl is a RFA this year and hasn't done anything to warrant a big, long term deal. Nurse is next year and hasn't proven (frank) all either yet. McDavid will get whatever he wants.

Yeah? Is he hot?
- TheTaoOfSemenko

LOL she is pretty hot. Gf friend but that doesn't mean I can't look

- Ihatebrianburke

Thats a good thing. If they can sign a couple guys to smaller post rookie deals it will help down the line.

Go on, what's the story behind this

He always looks like hes at the end of a shift and never quite under control. Too many other guys that can do what he does and are younger.

It's served the Hawks well turning their blind eye to Kane's indiscretions. Perhaps the Flames might have a couple more cups if they did the same with Gilmour.

doubt leon will get a huge deal- potentially even a bridge. but that could really backfire on us. giving hima few extra bucks off the bat might be the prudent move.

hes only 21 and shown that he could certainly be a great player.
and hes got 16 pts in 22 games. nothing to sneeze at.

if nurse continues the development hes shown over the first 20 for the next season +, and adds some more points, he'll earn some cash for sure. dmen generally have to take lesser deals for awhile though, so that helps us

i dunno. i get what youre saying kinda, but if both stay on current trajectories, we could be talking some serious dollars in the future.

but yeah, connor will get whatever he wants. and you dont play hardball with guys like him. but hopefully he realizes that he cant completely soak us if he wants money free to insulate him.

jesus the Oilers look flat

he did not have 50 in the lockout year

nowhere close to that

he had close to 50 a couple times over full seasons

usually around 40

Sorry, confusing him with Hall. But still an excellent season.

The trap needs to be banned.

Got run out of St Louis for screwing the babysitter. Same thing happened again Calgary. Owner told Risebrough to get rid of him that day for what ever he could get.

Two thirds of the Coaches in the NHL and most of the AHL Coaches would be out of a job.
