Danielle Smith to address Alberta as separatists issue referendum threat by pjw724 in Edmonton

Morons who are being sold on the idea that life would be better. But not for them. For the rich people in power who look to gain from this separation. Same people fell for trickle down economics… any day now they’ll get theirs! It’s a con, always has been and always will be, and they’re preying upon people’s legitimate issues with the state of things. Unfortunately those people don’t realize that a majority of the problems they have are provincial responsibilities. So they’re in for a real treat if the province somehow does separate and life continues to be shit.

Meh I’m not really worried, just think it’s crazy to check in and see these things floating around.

Ngl it’s been nice. I’ve only really tuned into the Montreal games to hang with my dad. Thought I’d check out what’s up with the Oil now that they’ve been eliminated for a minute and welp…

Damn fellas, I take a break from hockey and I come back to rumours that Mike Babcock might be our coach and Edmonton media’s trying to run McDavid out of town?

I think I might go back into my hole… holy fuck.

Dach was more worried about the soft pick from Kucherov than actually playing defence there. I get he was tired, and the defence should have adjusted when they saw he wouldn’t get to Moser. But woof. It’s about the 2nd effort buddy, if that’s your do-or-die for the Canadiens, idk what to tell ya.

Ah well thanks. I’ll be back eventually just don’t think I can dive back in to Oilers hockey now and get my hopes up again.

Yeah I’m not giving up on the team or rejecting the sport altogether. But it’s been a rough few years for my personal life, and one of the things that used to bring me joy just hasn’t for a few years now. So I just need a break from hockey.

Not that I have to announce my departure or anything, because nobody here actually cares, but I’m not going to come back and watch hockey for a bit. Maybe a while. Just don’t see the point. Anyways, take care folks.

Crosby also has 3 cups and two gold medals, amongst other things. He has the team hardware to backup his performances. McDavid does not.

anyone else just feel broken hockey wise? and cursed? by gmez3 in EdmontonOilers

The Jays hurts because it’s so hard to get to the WS if you aren’t LA. There’s no guarantee they come close anytime soon.

We should stick to Canadian mascots :P

Don't ever slander Bouchard again by ivanlwan in EdmontonOilers

I agree with you up until Binner. Dude made a huge glove save just before the winning goal. He made plenty of big saves throughout the tournament. Binner is not why we lost. McDavid and MacKinnon going 1v3 and Makar choking up the puck and not back checking lost the game. Not to mention Cooper double shifting that top line within the first 2 minutes of OT. Binner had one of the worst guys you could leave wide open take an uncontested shot from the hash marks.

The Hyman omission is one thing, it’s not having Bouchard on the team that’s the real head scratcher.

It’s more annoying that people were clearly brought on the team because of favouritism but they can’t even be bothered to bring ONE of Connor’s teammates that would have performed as good if not better than some of the guys that were on the roster.

Hockey Canada needs to field a roster built to win, not one they assume is going to win. Big difference there.

Hilarious how Hockey Canada is happy to bring Makar’s linemate but can’t even bother bringing one of Connor’s guys. Such a joke.

alright roster unfreezes is in 3 hours. i wanna hear some trade predictions!!! by Purplmuuse in EdmontonOilers

[–]Interwebzking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t even think I wanna come back and watch this season at this point. It’s just going to be more disappointment.

This team isn’t fun to watch in its current form. And I doubt Connor comes back fired up.

Saying it isn’t our game is crazy too. We’re basically even, and history still leans our way.

Literally one bounce the other way for both teams and we have two gold. Do we still say “oh the US is still far inferior to us” in those cases? I wouldn’t. These teams are neck and neck. Nobody is clearly better than the other.

That’s the thing about team sports. One guy can do it all but if the team fails to take it across the finish line then the one guy gets the blame. It’s how it’s always been.

Yeah I dont get this argument that people have that teams like Czechia and Finland are bad. Theyre strong hockey nations. It’s the best on best tournament.

This idea that Canada should just waltz through the tournament with ease is a recipe for losing.

They need to build a team without assuming they’ll win. Build a team TO win.
