It was a scrimmage against British Columbia, who had so many injuries that the Badgers provided goalies for BOTH sides.
Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story though...

did they switch ends halfway thru the game?

Ok. So Holland isn't the source. Maybe it's the assistant GM or the coach or the video coach or the guy planning Bobblehead nights for the year. Regardless, it requires Holland running his mouth about these players and claiming this 90% nonsense. This is highly unlikely. Not saying the Oilers aren't interested in both players...they need upgrades at many positions. But the rest seems made up.

Fake news... He SCORED all those points... He's going to break Teemu's rookie record at this point...

Ristolainen for Cam Barker

Also, the 5 player trade with Detroit.

Yes Risto is part of the 5-player trade with Detroit. But also possibly to Edmonton. Either way it's a 90% chance Holland gets him for one of his team's.

That's a name I haven't heard in a long time. Remember when he was the d-man of the future for the Hawks? I thought only the Oilers drafted busts

Nothing like trying to impress the new boss by revealing that 90% detail with...Ek. Great way to get fired. This is my point. It's unlikely Holland would ever spill this to others in the organization and even more unlikely that someone risks angering the boss by going to the media.

I'm 100% confident the Oilers are getting neither player

Notice how all the snowflakes that got triggered by Goal Caufield lighting it up over the weekend are either of teams that (frank)ed up by not drafting him or Queefs fans..

Interesting how that works





Smash those NCAA records this year Coley boy and we'll see you flanking the wing on the big squad next year


Better bundle up, it's a Cole world bishes!

Ek is connected to all.

I’m still excited to see the Labor Day RFA dominoes to fall.

Caulfield was a great pick, is going to be a great scorer this year, and will probably make the Habs next year, but one exhibition game vs a non NCAA opponent doesn't really mean anything. It's basically a practice. Wait until he actually starts scoring in real games before bragging about him, it's about a month away so you wont have to wait long.

He doesn’t work with idiots that will open their mouths, especially to a rumor website and sacrifice the team or GM they work for. Makes no sense.

These so called writers in the know, just keep throwing shat against the wall until one pile sticks.E5

Thanks. I know that. My point is why would anyone working with Holland risk angering their new boss by leaking stuff to the media?

Hey guys. Remember at our last meeting when I said I was 90% sure we'd add Risto ot Gardiner? Somehow Ek found out about this. I already made it very clear how to handle the media. So someone in this room screwed up. Who was it? Better to fess up now and maybe keep your job.

Gardiner will only play for the Leafs.


Can you blame him?

No need to overcomplicate this.

Don't feed him, he's just some fat bumhole 10 year old trying to find relevance online, and not doing very well at it. One day his balls will drop and he will still serve zero purpose to the world. (frank)ing chode.

"Coley boy" actually made me cringe.
