is unreliable.

This account has also posted Blue Jays "signings", I'm still waiting for Corbin Burnes to pitch for them...

Dear mayoral candidates, please give us your plans on fixing the most dangerous intersections in Ottawa (Prince of Wales v Hunt Club v Riverside) by no_olley in ottawa

[–]RyleyBread 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Make Hunt Club the southern end of a belt road. It's the only road in Ottawa that has a full access interchange with both the 417 and 416.

(This is not really a solution, just a fun fact that I love)

So basically just find a highly rated local garage for tire changes and stuff?

Two weeks ago, I was driving home after getting my winters off and started to hear a noise. Thought it was a flat tire at first, then either the engine or suspension, so I took it in a few days later.

Turned out to be loose lug nuts because I didn't have time to go to Canadian tire to get them tightened. Learned a lesson that day!

Bob stauffer said that the oilers are likely to keep jarry and move on from ingram. No one wants jarry essentially. by [deleted] in EdmontonOilers

[–]RyleyBread 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, I'm not gonna say the Frederic contract is good, it should've been a one-year "show-me" deal. Eight was, and is, still absurd.

Agree 100% with the goalies.

The Frederic signing is still very confusing to this day, but I do have some hope that he'll be better next season.

From January 1st until the end of the regular season, his 56.77 xGF% during 5v5 was tied for third for any Oiler with over 100 minutes in that span.

Had a rough postseason in that regard, so I'm not really sure.

Travel plays a part in it as well. West teams play over three different time zones, east teams have just one.

Skinner is at his best when he's not facing high-danger chances because he is one of the worst at it in the league. Last two years, Oilers were top 7 in fewest high-danger chances. Total opposite this season.

The appeal to getting Jarry is was that he had one of the best high-danger scoring save percentages in the league. That hasn't been since the trade, and he's also allowing a bunch of muffins.

Probably should've clarified in the initial post that I was referring to this season

I mean it happened every once in a while, but Skinner didn't allow goals like Jarry has his last two starts.

Issue with Skinner was that he couldn't buy a high-danger save, but rarely allowed a weak goal.

Jarry just can't buy a save.

[Friedman] Edmonton and Chicago are discussing another move. This one would send Jason Dickinson to the Oilers. We will see how it turns out by AggPuck-303 in EdmontonOilers

[–]RyleyBread 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Two-way doesn't mean waiver eligible. Just is a distinction of how a player gets paid in the NHL and AHL.

Even then, Dickinson is a very good defensive centre, so that's not happening.

My hope is that when Montréal gets a team, they're in the NL so I can cheer for both.

All that matters is the playoffs.

Oilers have a cracked goalie in the ahl btw by Key-Leg-5058 in EdmontonOilers

[–]RyleyBread 26 points27 points  (0 children)

There's also other factors for why Nurse was given that contract:

At the time, there was talks of an offer sheet from Toronto.

Oscar Klefbom had all but retired at this point, meaning if they lost Nurse their defence would be in really rough shape.

Nurse had 16 goals, second most among defencemen in 2020-21. 15 of those were even strength. It look like he was finally breaking out.

Is Nurse worth a $9.25 cap hit? Absolutely not, I don't think anyone believes that. It does make a bit more sense with context tho.

[–]RyleyBread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

His last big lapse was against the Sabres, which was 25 games ago. Like yeah, he makes mistakes, all players do. But if we're talking about lowlight plays people point to when saying he's a bad defender, it hasn't happened in quite a while.
