    Wait..... what???? Maybe it wasn't all Chiarelli's stupidity in Edm?

      Nope, sorry Alf.

      I'd like to present exhibit A- the Vancouver Grizzlies.

      And then there's Talbot who probably wants out of there no matter what. Im my mind his play fell off because they played him way to much and he has a porous D that allows too many chances, and therefore a goalie cheats more then he should.

       

      If he goes to a good team next year I bet his numbers rocket up from where they are now.

      weak attempt to up his value at the TDL. EDM is heading for the toilet once again. Watch them win the lotto again.

      @Mike Vanderhoek Are you blind and dumb? People are not complaining about the hit. People are complaining about what came after the hit, when the puck was nowhere near Pettersson.

      pretty good eye sight thank you, I am a technician in the field of medicine so I can only assume I am not dumb either. Not really cool remarks, you should maybe edit those.

       

      There are some complaining about the hit, most complaining about Matheson tossing EP aside after the hit ( which one only has to go on youtube and watch footage of this type of play, very common ). The issue was EP didn't absorb the hit well, maybe we can attribute this to being 19, having played in what ? 5 NHL games and being a kid vs a man ? take that into account and the kid when tossed aside was not in a position to pushback and literally just got tossed to the ice. The head was not targeted, maybe it hit the ice afterwards but it is a common play in hockey and not really ever brought up.

       

      Its because he is a young star in a hockey crazy city that so many seem to be losing their minds, I am happy the league would look into this. Young exciting players should be protected for sure, but you also have to be strong enough to handle the day to day hits, slams, pushes too.

       

      Had Gudbranson done this to a young forward, the same people screaming right now would be praising him for being physical then you'd be complaining that the League would look into it.

      @Mike Vanderhoek

      The issue I have is that it is not a hockey play. There is no need to pick up EP and slam him to the ice. Certainly a play with malicious intent

  4. “They were hitting, holding, cutting, grabbing, clutching, hitting,” Nurse fumed. “It’s been going on all year. I do not understand why they are letting everyone play one of the best players in the league so physically. I do not understand it.”

    Oh Darnell how dare people actually hit McDavid lol

      Thanks :) Lol I screw up enough on my own most of the time - I'm curious how that ended up in a hockey article

    3. PhillipBlunt

      PhillipBlunt

      I think it ended up in the article because Mark Sphincter is a lazy journalist who doesn't bother to actually investigate quotes he puts in his articles. He clearly googled it and just cut and pasted the text into his "article".

    4. MikeBossy

      MikeBossy

      In the article it is funny as he says this:

       

      Beginning Tuesday, when St. Louis visits the Oilers on Sportsnet, our cameras will go in search of such interference off the puck, as McDavid tries to join the play. If it’s there, and we have little doubt it exists, Canadians across the country will see it for the next two days — because that’s the media’s role in all of this.

       

      Mark Spector is on the case!!!

  5. Austin Mathews with egg on his face with his idiotic Hand to Ear taunt - only to have Kane score to tie it right back up haha

      Jeebus you'd think a team like the Laffs that is poised to try and take the next step would go "all in" on a guy like Tanev.  Meh, their loss.  **** them anyhow (like I would like the help out them).

      Call Brad M. to mug him and punch him in the face,

      Don & Ron said he has personality,but is A-hole a personality.

  6. Craig Simpson might want to get those eyes checked.... says Beagle knocked Andersson down when it was his own defenseman ... lol

      It's not surprising. With Edler out, our chances at playoffs are minimal.

      Don't the Blues often look good on paper but fail to do anything much of consequence in the regular season and/or or post-season?

      @NewbieCanuckFan They usually do well in the regular season and then fall apart in epic fashion in the first or second round.

       

      This year though their epic failures began early on and now they're recovering.

      Evander has a point in the sense looked like interference to me - not sure about a head shot,

      Why don't they call some of these penalties and let it escalate into goonery,Z.Chara and  R.Reaves from vegas knights seem to be able to run around hitting people and no penalties,I don;t mind rough and tumble hockey but when you start hitting guys then crosschecking them when they are down(Reaves),there has to be some rules against that goonery.Those are shi%%y refs that should go back to pee wee hockey where they belong.

  10. I heard a comedian once say this about Canuck fans if we won the Stanley cup - "So what we will just lose it next year"

    Pretty much sums up the mentality of some on here :frantic:

  11. Is there a bigger homer in hockey than Mark Spector and his Oiler fluff pieces?

      Trump ain’t so bad. He’s a door knob but he’s getting things done.

  12. LMAO at Sportsnet bragging about Dubas's cap wizardry - yippee he made enough space for Marner - what about next year when he has 18 million to sign basically an entire defensive core lol

      Cici and Kerfoot arbitration will award 9 million for the two.  Leafs might have to walk from both guys.  I really think a team should offer sheet Marner at 11 million times 7 years.  Islanders should do it.  Come on Lou!  Stick the knife into your old boss and twist.  You’ll like it, and so will we all! 

    3. JM_

      JM_

      Buffalo should offer sheet Marner. They have 40+ mil in cap space after this season and can easily lock up their RFAs by then too. 

    4. Alflives

      @Jimmy McGill

      thats a great idea!  Buffalo is close to home for Marner too.  Love to see this happen.  

  13. LOOK OUT LEAFS - McDavid is pissed off and going to take it out on you ... :frantic:

  15. Only in Deadmonton is a fan favorite an overpaid 6 Million dollar anchor like Lucic 

     

    1. -AJ-

      -AJ-

      Wait, EDM fans actually like him? I assumed he was as maligned as Eriksson.

    2. Jaku

      My uncle tried to convince me that he was still a useful player.:lol:

      He has been since September. It's actually kind of sad.

    3. MikeBossy

      MikeBossy

      Mark Spector wrote an article about how he has embraced his new role as a third line player and how great he has been lol. At least with Loui we have the cap space to absorb a crappy contract and there is some possibility of moving him in the last few eyars of his deal and only have to eat half his salary - Edmonton doesn't have that luxury and like I have said he's an anchor on that team contract-wise as he has a NMC and 4 more years (he is not going to get better as he ages.) Oh well he fights so they paid 6 million for an enforcer - way to go Chiarelli :P

  16. Shortage of Kleenex here in Edmonton right now - lotta crying going on about McDavid's suspension and how unjust the NHL is. Welcome to our world Coilers - we have been trying to tell you this for years

      They should be more concerned about the rest of their roster.

       

      What &^@#ing right do they have to still suck so damn badly after being gifted with 4x #1oa in ten years?

       

      Losers

  17. Two things that suck about Winnipeg so far - lack of Nucks games (I am watching tonight's game !) and lack of Seahawks games.

     

    On a positive note Jets fans much classier than Coiler fans ever were :)

      What did you expect?  McIndoe doesn't even hide the fact that he's Leafs fan, so it's not like he's ever going to be objective about anything

      anyone that doesn't understand the value of a strong bottom 6 for the development of our next core group doesn't know what they are talking about. So no surprise there are lots of media yapping heads lining up to criticize Benning.

      I've been around long enough to have seen at least a decade's worth of these lists. Nobody really remembers them when it's all said and done.

       

      Let people write what they want. What matters is how the team performs where it matters.

  20. Would this be the most expensive unproductive line in the NHL today?

    Neal-Eriksson-Lucic?

      Potentially having him and Virtanen in our top six would cause other teams fits tbh, I'd be fine with taking him if he's available. Admittedly I'm leaning towards taking D with our top two picks though. Our prospect pool really needs more quality D men.

    3. luckylager

      luckylager

      Can't deny I've been hating on Tkachuk's for a while...

      Brady's way too awful for Bergevin to pass up. No way he makes it to #7.
