There are only 3 things in life that are certain:

Death, Taxes, and the Oilers tanking 1/3 of the way into every season.

4 things actually. You missed the Flames falling just short of making the playoffs.

Honestly though....if any of you do like Russell (which I am sure some of you do) don't even try to defend him. You'll never win the argument. Wounds heal, but scars still remain.

I neither love nor hate him. He is a serviceable defense man and I wouldn't take exception to him receiving an extension, but only for the proper price.

The sheer vitriol is fun to revel in.

I do. I made $50 betting that the Flames would knock the Canucks out. Bought myself a nice Oiler hat with the winnings.

Yes it is, just so long as the doomsayers outlandish salary predictions do not come true.

Booze would have been the better choice.

Everybody is "RUMOURED OMNKGNSJFKS" to want "888888888888miuiiilalaiona dollairesz" and then they sign a one year 1.5 mil deal.

How dare you! My sense of humor is as sharp and finely tuned as Elliott's positioning and glove hand!

But I would hate for Russell to be the exception to the rule. Oiler fans have endured enough.

I would be willing to give him 4 mill. I'd prefer 3.25 but beggars can't be choosers, and we are definitely beggars when it comes to top4 NHL dmen. I wouldn't be giving him 4 years either. 2 would do for me.

Hey Frenchie, what's going on? Are you back in North America?

Maybe McDreamy can convince others to sign there, but that's extreme hoping.

Yup.

Hope in one hand and poop in the other, see which one fills up faster.

Done reading Henderson crap. Russel is second in plus/minus. I don't know about you but I think the name of the game is score more goals than scored upon. Does he watch a game? Or does he download the stats info the next morning? Don't see myself having very many oh crap moments when Russel is on the ice. He seams to be the best D on getting the puck to the wingers in stride and quickly. He knows where he is going when he gets the puck. There is not much passing back forth between D when he gets it. It's usually some quick skating followed by a head man pass. When does he ever get beaten out of the corner for a grade A chance against? Not often. He is patient on D. Let the other team play with the puck out by the boards. Let them keep possession where they are not going to do any harm. Let them improve their Corsi playing pass along the boards. Just because some number nerds have come up with some data that they think is important in winning hockey games does not make it so. They say that their numbers are proven in the win/loss column. No they are not. There are too many teams that buck the numbers in both wining and losing. To discount that they come up with another stat to explain why. In my opinion not enough weight is put on 5x5 plus/minus, Pk %, Save %, PP%, PK/PP differential, 5x5 HD scoring chance plus/minus. Studying the above can show you where your team is lacking and then can hone in on individual players contributions and strengths. PP% is low then look at everything from players to coaches. Goalie save% is low and grade A scoring chance plus/minus is low then your goalie probably is sucking. Goalie save% is low and grade A scoring chance is low it is probably then it probably isn't your goalie. Might be defense or centers. These numbers give a team useful data to go along with the eye test
