aqua59 Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 First off, I loathe everything Edmonton. All sports from that town. So I'll start off with their newest signing in Milan Lucic . They rolled him out with Connor McDavid and the other guy last week in Vancouver. (exhibition game). I know this was a preseason match up but I'm already glad Lucic didn't sign here. For Edmonton's sake he better ramp things up fast. This isn't 1965 where one plays into shape. Players come to camp amped ready to go. Not this guy. He better toughen up too because every team will be ready. This isn't the east coast. A win over Winnipeg doesn't mean much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HerrDrFunk Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I was at the Oilers game last week and I do have to give McDavid credit: a couple of times he did blow right by our defence. Unfortunately for him, he couldn't get a goal because his linemates were nowhere to be seen by the time he got to the net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have had a hell of a time finding a parter to play with Crosby, because he thinks and plays the game so quick, he doesn't gel very well with just anyone.

drsofthands Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Hard to think they wont make the playoffs with all their talent, but if one team can do it, its the oilers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X-PatLostInEdm Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Love Lucic's contract, though. Here's hoping no team is stupid enough to take it off their hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 No one likes to bash the Coilers more than myself..but we've got to acknowledge(sadly) that they've got a lot to be excited about. It will be interesting to see how their fwd lines wind up. McD, Lucic, RNH, Drai, Poolparty, Eberle, etc... Can't see how they're going to be able to handle this cap. Soon their fwd cast will be comparable(skill, depth, experience) to TBay's. Players sign more cheaply to play there(less taxes, anonymity, nice climate), in Edm, it's the opposite situation. It's a scenario where a savvy GM could turn them into a perrenial-contender; a mediocre GM will waste the opportunity. After the 80's nightmare, I hope they louse this up in epic fashion.

Hortankin Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 They have a crazy good offensive line up on paper, if we had their team and performed at their level I think I'd give up watching hockey. That franchise is an embarrassment to Canada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost needs raymond on his line just to have someone to distract defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Kneel Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 PoolParty will overtake McDufus in a year as their best forward (after he keeps pulling his own groin) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what oilers fans have been saying the past 5 years! They cannot put it together, the only time I will believe in the oilers is when I see them winning consistently and making the playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alflives Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Who does Alf hate more: Coilers, Lames, or Laughs? This is so difficult, it's giving me a headache. Do I have enough hate for all three? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimberWolf Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 I think it's time to forget our rivalries. Who cares if we finish higher than Calgary or Edmonton? There is no trophy for that. Prefer that they just be beneath our notice. Kinda like when they try to compare their cities to Vancouver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Any team with Chiarelli as the GM I dislike. Something about his slime-ball face. Lucic had a chance to play for his home town, and chose the enemy instead. And watching him get all giddy with the idea of playing with McDavid turned my stomach. Wonder if he's pushing to be McDavid's roomie on the road. Lucic was boasting as well, that he has strong European bones and never gets injured. Well, here's to karma. EDM has been so bad for so many years, yet there is great excitement from the media, who also say the Canucks will finish last. Dislike that too. No doubt McDavid is a great player, but I hope he never sees a playoff game with EDM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
