Just cause the Fames suck and your HB threads are boring is no reason to bring yer derp in here flags.

Looking forward to watching the Oil (and everyone else) beat 'em down all year.

Minor discrepancy, but in the five games I found info on, Marincin was only credited with 10 SOG. So unless he got 7 in that game where the Oilers got routed by the Blackhawks (highly unlikely considering the Hawks' dominance), I think those 17 shots are a tad misconstrued.

I didn't bother reading through more than the first two pages on account of how stupid it was getting, but did anyone consider that maybe they're using this as an opportunity for Marty to get his offensive swagger back? He's always had the mind for the offensive game (see his junior years), but was asked to simplify his game a lot last season.

Maybe the Oilers wanted to see a more dynamic quality out of their back end with new additions of Fayne and Nikitin (notably un-dynamic) along with Petry and Ference covering the "safe players" and they saw allowing Marty the chance to dominate early on (even if it's against AHLers) might re-ignite his offensive flare while conversely, it may be a learning experience for Klefbom in toning down his game a tad.

If wordplay gets me banned then so be it. They're limp and blow with the wind... I can't help it if my genius is misunderstood.

How do you almost get a ban??? Did you get a P.M. Warning you of a potential time out?

He beat him in a blueline to blueline sprint... about the only hope a hockey player would have vs. a speedskater.


Impressive still

Well by responding to that post, it does denote that you care a little or you would have said nothing.

Well, Atleast it was a warning, that was kind! Flames still suck tho.
Just stating the facts. They are a bit sensitive over there.

Have to tread lightly when stepping outside of the Oilers threads as it appears the rest of the threads on this site are populated by insecure, overly sensitive lil female doges.

I call stupid posts lacking in any sort of intellectual thought out when I see em. Quite frequently whenever you show your prepubescent, jobless, lazy ass around here.....but I never report people to get em banned. This is what I was referring to with Hughjasskoc....try to keep up kid.

I am slightly confused with it. Is he suggesting the guy they signed last year to a 4 year deal, and is the captain, should have to clear waivers and be sent down to the AHL, in favor of Marincin being on the team? More kids on the team???
