Jake was so cool, when he invented the DDT, it actually finished people. Now it is just as generic and commonly used as the simple body slam.

It is still way better than Hogans weak ass leg drop. That poop always pissed me off.

Nice.
Did she have fee reign of your house when you had her?

She had a bedroom. I would let her rome around the house lots tho. She got along with the dogs and poop. It was cool actually. I'd have people over and she would just pop up from behind the couch. I've had people run out of my house.

ya it was awesome. We would all be chilling, all the sudden she'd just pop up all like .'hay, what's up guys'... that was usually followed by a lot of screams and what the (frank)s.

I lost a lot of bar ass that way.

Yeah, that was a pretty gay finishing move looking back. As a kid I effing loved it though.

Its a good thing we let Rajala go. Now our offensive prospects consist of... OH RIGHT we have none now. Yes the kid was small but now we have Acrobella as the only guy in the system who is just as small and did nothing for the team when called up. Rajala at least had a slightly better chance. I think it is a really good thing that we traded our high picks to get 9 later picks and a dman that is years away from playing. I think this is going to be stellar for the team. Maybe we can get Daigle, Falloon, Michel Riesen, Michael Henrich, Jani Rita, Alexei Mikhnov, Marc-Antoine Pouliot, Rob Schremp, Matthieu Descoteaux, Steve Kelly and Jason Bonsignore. If we are giving Greb, Eager, Smyth and Jones another shot after how terrible they have played why not get these first round gems another chance. I think Falloon is even playing in a beer league in Stoney Plain so he might be easy to get a hold of.

I hate MacT.

To be fair he played all of one NHL game and was in over his head.
Not saying I think he has much of a chance to make the NHL, but judging him on 1 game is a bit premature.

Terrible post.

We're past picking players for immediate help. If mact thinks nurse projects to be the best player long term, even 5 years, he absolutely did the right thing.
That comment is 3 years behind where we are in our rebuild.

We also dont know the extenuating circumstances in relation to rajala. The kid wanted out and rather than force him into a spot where he was virtually stuck, he let the kid have a chance elsewhere. Not completely ideal for the oilers, but possibly mutually beneficial in the long run.

Mact has done an admirable job thus far and we should be waiting to pass judgement on his tenure for a year or two.

Free wine, and a couple of beer tickets... I had a few glasses of wine and a couple of beer and then drove home.

And before someone takes offense to that, I did not drink and drive! I drank at the wedding and THEN I drove. I would never drink AND drive (at the same time).

Kidding... Or am I?
