My mistake 👍

No worries, never should have made it past Florida IMO. Barkov is really good though, but Jones is dominant.

True. But what they let go is what blew my mind.

I like Barkov, but IMO Jones is a norris candidate for the next decade barring injury. That's playing on a team with Werenski. Aside from that there'd PLD that stands out up front. Not really conducive to great numbers.

Florida went Barkov then Ekblad. They could have gone Jones/Draisaitl.

I personally want to thank the Edmonton Fans.


The host city, the hard working local Albertan workers that are keeping the bubble working.

I think its crummy that you guys will have to watch hockey, instead of playing it.

We tend to be sadomasochistic and like "salt wound rubbing" and "lemon squirt in the eyes" for fun around here......

We too know of sucking, busts, losing streaks....We feel it here too.

I have studied your lore of bad luck/choices. I will attempt to share tribulations of years past,with my people....but I fear my poor social skills; will be my undoing. Getting the message across of the true bitter, festering, pulsing pain in the heart you as an Oiler fan must be feeling.



THE LORE









We have learned from your history. We will not repeat it.

(but really Oilers fans. you need a Motte. Can't have ours. He has more heart than most of the oilers locker-room put together. That kid earns every dollar he gets on every shift. )

Thank you for being such amazing hosts.......we may win the cup there, the E parade will be UNIVERSAL

True on those pairs but hindsight also. Barkov in a better market would be more appreciated. Tallon gone could help them. Hire him as our Pres.

This week Benning is a genius.
Green is a good coach.
Boeser belongs on the first line.
Loui is a good Pk'er and one of the top 12.
Tofolli is an after thought.
We like Edler.
Stetcher has heart (aka hasn't had any own goals).
OJ and JV are no longer busts.

Tune in next week.

All above is solid.
Stecher imo a cap casualty.
Toffoli if healthy will be needed against the Blues.

My take is Tallon outlived being a GM but could fill the hole/role as a Pres. Take FA outta the picture & leave it to the hockey ppl. He has status that would benefit us.

JB getting 'er done

The Canucks used 24 players against the Wild – depth was also supposed to be an issue – and on Friday had six of their own first-round picks in the lineup: Horvat (2013), Jake Virtanen (2014), Boeser (2015), Olli Juolevi (2016), Pettersson (2017) and Hughes (2018).

If you are tweaking them when you are feeling them out you probably need to limber up first.

The world turned upside down. But this is how you see things anyway, being down under and all winky face.
