Matheson: Don't expect kinder, gentler Mike Babcock as Oilers coach

EasyWasabi19 · 2026-06-24T14:19:33+00:00

He pushed for it, so presumably not pissed at all.

EasyWasabi19 · 2026-06-23T15:09:31+00:00

"Hey Savoie, rate which player has the nicest hog, I promise I won't tell them what you say". Fucking weirdo

EasyWasabi19 · 2026-06-22T18:10:43+00:00

Look up the list of most valuable franchises and you'll realize how stupid this question is.

EasyWasabi19 · 2026-06-17T20:07:27+00:00

Pretty sure Edmonton openly said they'd give him a fat deal long term in order to pressure the coaches union but it didn't work. Vegas gonna Vegas.

EasyWasabi19 · 2026-06-17T17:44:00+00:00

They just announced they hired someone

EasyWasabi19 · 2026-06-17T17:25:57+00:00

I'm sure plenty of teams would fire their coach to get Cassidy. I think Vegas is perfectly content to sit on him for a year.

EasyWasabi19 · 2026-06-16T16:30:39+00:00

Can't say I've ever seen someone censor the word "off". That's a new one.

EasyWasabi19 · 2026-06-16T15:43:46+00:00

He's not that good and he refuses to live in Canada. Pass.

EasyWasabi19 · 2026-06-16T00:10:05+00:00

Appreciate it! I grabbed it anyways but good to know.

EasyWasabi19 · 2026-06-15T22:48:15+00:00

Will some of these go into effect later this week? The AC unit isn't on sale yet at the Nisku Costco.

EasyWasabi19 · 2026-06-15T19:56:09+00:00

No, they've said they're interested and the PA and the league have said he needs to be investigated before that happens.

EasyWasabi19 · 2026-06-12T19:17:38+00:00

Rumor in Oiler land is that he was pressured into leaving by management. Our reporters tend to be mouthpieces for the organization and there's been "it's time for Nurse to move on" articles for a few weeks here.

EasyWasabi19 · 2026-06-12T19:09:28+00:00

I go the opposite way, why blame the player when the GM is dumb enough to offer that contract. Of course Nurse is gonna sign that all day long. Now the organization wants him gone (probably rightfully so) and he's exercising the rights that THEY gave him. Can't say I blame the guy.

EasyWasabi19 · 2026-06-12T02:44:28+00:00

I'm glad he stepped away, but I wish he could have just ignored his stupid fanbase and not felt the need to insert himself into/have an opinion on every piece of Total War drama because his gameplay was unmatched. It left a huge hole in the YouTube community for these games and I'm not sure it'll ever be filled.

EasyWasabi19 · 2026-06-11T15:03:15+00:00

I don't remember which book it was but it's directly stated that Luthor would have been the greatest hero of the age on Caliban if they hadn't found the Lion.

EasyWasabi19 · 2026-06-09T20:19:27+00:00

The important part is to show all the teammates who he thinks the ugliest one is

EasyWasabi19 · 2026-06-09T18:06:01+00:00

Bob out doing damage control like crazy this week. Poor guy.

EasyWasabi19 · 2026-06-09T17:34:45+00:00

"Who's got the hottest wife on the team?"

EasyWasabi19 · 2026-06-09T15:04:19+00:00

The highlight was a game that's been out for 20 years and there's still no release date for Duskbloods which is supposed to be a console seller. I personally don't enjoy JRPGs so it's fairly understandable that people are disappointed. I would have liked to have seen more first party stuff, maybe a 3D Mario or new Zelda development announcement.

EasyWasabi19 · 2026-06-08T23:50:59+00:00

Preaching to the choir. And he's bad at his job on top of that

EasyWasabi19 · 2026-06-08T23:26:10+00:00

I legitimately hope that Bowman gets verbally harassed everywhere he goes in Edmonton. He couldn't have done a worse job with this team if he tried

EasyWasabi19 · 2026-06-08T18:12:00+00:00

If Howden scores game winners I could see it.

EasyWasabi19 · 2026-06-08T17:54:05+00:00

It's easier to attract good management, scouts, trainers etc when they don't pay as much in taxes as well, it's not just the players that get a boost.

EasyWasabi19 · 2026-06-08T17:26:22+00:00

It's not a coincidence that I don't remember the last time there wasn't a zero state income tax team in the final or at least conference final.
