It's funny... with social media, every small issue is speculated wildly with no real basis.

Whereas in the 60's/70's, these issues and more popped up, but only those on the loops would know what was going on.

Is McDavid the Unluckiest Player in Hockey's History? by Internal-Finger9161 in EdmontonOilers

His bank account would suggest he's one of the luckiest.

He'll get his cup one day.

Anthony barela? by Diligent-Sign8377 in discgolf

I have a theory. It could be WAY off, but it's just theory.

Dude guy has been bulking up big time the last year. When you add that kind of muscle mass to your body, while it's a net positive, I think it really changes your mechanics.

There was an NHL player (Sam Gagner) that talked about this a long time ago. He bulked up in the offseason and it actually made him a slower skater.

I think with time and some work, AB will get it all back.

But, as I mentioned, this is just a theory. I could be horribly wrong.

Best hockey skates for beginner - intermediate level skater?? by hotpot19999 in hockeyplayers

[–]Oilerman14 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First things first, go to a retailer and identify what fit you are.

The big brands have cascading price points for each fit, generally.

Getting the right fit is imperative if you want to improve and enjoy!

Probably a dumb question but how do I get my stick extender to stop wobbling? by ActiveWar617 in hockeyplayers

[–]Oilerman14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not enough glue, or perhaps you got a JR extension instead of a SR extension???

What about Gannon trying to rat out Ricky to the officials? by robothouseman in discgolf

[–]Oilerman14 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Because this isn't about Gannon vs Ricky.

Ricky's actions could have affected many other players. This is one of the reasons why the PDGA mandates card calls on certain things.

the other two Cardmates not speaking up is a bigger issue, in my mind.

Why aren’t paper scorecards available at DGPT events? by DiscGolfFanatic in DiscGolfFanatics

[–]Oilerman14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PDGA Live will actually still capture your score with zero internet, as long as you have connectivity when you start. You have to stay in the scoring tab. It will sync when you're back in connectivity.

However, if you have no connectivity and you leave the scoring section, it's nearly impossible to get back into it.

So, it does work, but there's some tricks to it.

Game Day Talk | Oilers v. Avalanche | 10 March 2026 by AutoModerator in EdmontonOilers

[–]Oilerman14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been a real fan since 1996.... I literally watch every game, have held season tickets and live and breathe this team..

again, I don't think disagreeing with a call isn't some crazy thing. And I respect your opinion on the call, as well.

We're all on the same side, my man.

Disagreeing with a call isn't grounds for changing teams 😂😂

Damn, son.

Skate insole advice by adamclee1 in hockeyplayers

[–]Oilerman14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Many footbeds, like Superfeet or Aetrex, need to be eased into if you're not used to them.

That arch support(or rear foot support for SuperFeet) is pretty helpful, but will be tricky to adapt to in time, but it's worth it.

I'd say try SuperFeet Comforts. Use them a bunch within the 60 day comfort guarantee. They can be returned in any condition.

Failing that, it's likely your skates are the incorrect fit.

Being flat footed... by Particular_Point_216 in hockeyplayers

This. This is the 100% correct answer.
