  1. Did you not see that cool headlock tie up he did off the faceoff that one game?! Dare I say it, he looked like Macho Man.
  2. Louie Eriksson is putting in the best effort so far. This team is screwed????? How did this happen?!
  3. Depends on the night. Off nights where they don't play it's cap management because it saves a few dollars for the cap.
  4. I watch a lot of Oilers games so I know that voice a million miles away. I actually think he's fantastic on commentary. Pretty unbiased most nights. One of the few guys that used to give praise for the Sedins when others wouldn't too.
  5. Could be worse. You could live in Alberta where the MLA's responsible for taking care of vaccinations went to Hawaii on taxpayers dollars.
  6. Oh we can be optimistic. His ceiling is high, but he's just nowhere near his ceiling yet. I think people believe he's this bulldog similar to Hoglander but his efforts aren't consistent enough with Hoglander's in my opinion. Hopefully I'm wrong, but he's definitely a player that can either be a great leader or check out when things aren't going well. People are also overrating his skills. He has raw talent but sometimes lacks the iq to go with his hands. He's gonna be a role player off the hop, he's not gonna be a saviour. We just need to temper expectations so the kid can grow. Too many are hoping he's gonna dramatically change the organization off the hop. You're asking to be let down if that's your view point.
  7. Also way too many people are putting way too much stock into Podkolzin changing this team dynamically when he comes over.
  8. Hey look! Another article that proves I was right when I said ownership is absurdly stubborn and will hold onto bad coaches like a life vest out in the ocean!
  9. It's especially encouraging that these guys who have worked their tails off in the AHL and during their stints in the nhl are getting 3 minutes of ice time here and there. Guys who are putting up great point totals at the AHL level must be pumped to be playing on the 4th line with guys like Sutter and Beagle to really show their ability in those minutes. Really proves that earning it is the way to go. Pretty soon they might get up to 7 minutes if they don't hit and get a secondary assist from time to time.
  10. He's getting anchored by his linemates. Absolutely nobody with creativity for him to gel with. They don't even go to the net.
