Post-Game Talk: “You’re My Favourite Mistake” Oilers tank game 81 to let AZ close this franchise with a W

[Ritchie Valens]

Gary’s favourite mistake indeed with how many times he has bailed out this useless franchise over the last 28 years (including having the league control it for a time) just to keep this fledgling team in the desert, trying to disprove what everyone said from day 1: hockey will not work in the desert.

Finishing it in true Gary fashion by having them play in a University arena for 5000 people, he finally pulled his head out of his ass and realized nobody really cares for hockey in Arizona and is putting the Coyotes out of their misery.

Finally.

The coyotes.

 

[RattsSSV]

No injuries is a win.

 

[Senor Catface]

Arizona loses their team about 10 years too late.

 

[2for1PizzaPastuh]

now… SIT EM ALL!!!

 

[Davo Ikinzom]

I'll always remember where I was when the Coyotes folded.

 

[NedPlimpton]

Now that the yotes have been successfully jerked off by the sn crew we can move on to the next dumb scheduled game.

See you never, Arizona.

 

[bellagiobob]

Meh, pretty much what I expected. Nothing game, and one more left. Best part of the game was this cements this horrific decision to put a team there as Gary’s lasting legacy. He will forever be remembered for this epic failure.

 

[OilerMcLord]

Embarrassing effort.

 

[McDrai]

Congrats to the Yotes on their Stanley Cup win

 

[Bryanbryoil]

McDavid, Draisaitl, Ekholm, Bouchard, Hyman, Kane and Skinner should all sit tomorrow. No sense playing them if this is the kind of play that they'll provide.

 

[Gnome17]

Okay How did I get troll stomped and banned from the GDT for joking saying #TankForCelebrini?

Anyways, obvious the team wasnt pushing for it. Its all about the playoffs now. Wish McDavid could get 1 more assisst so he passes Kuch but at this point I wonder if they even play him tomorrow? Might rest a lot of guys.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Who cares
No injuries and team played at half speed
Rest up more players tomorrow

Bye Yotes…an embarrassing 28 years in the Desert comes to an end

 

[nexttothemoon]

who cares

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Embarrassing effort.

What did you expect?

Salt Lake City Slaughter

I was disappointed that we didn’t see Pronger, Hossa, Datsyuk and other Yotes LTIR legends honored during the game.

No injuries is a win.

Yes, especially with the Nurse taking Sissy on vacations. lol.

Did they all retire as Coyotes? Maybe they accomodate the legendary Campbell?

 

[McTonyBrar]

Anyone give a shit about this game?

All I cared about was Foegele hitting 20 ahahaha

 

[Captain Fantastic]

Tewilligar Rec Center hockey..

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Oil come down with Valley Fever with likely more dump-ins within Mullet Arena toilets than the turd on the ice. Opportunity to sharpen the special teams also an afterthought as they opt to play the dupe a la Washington Generals. Much like the build up for this post-game thread, this was a waste of time.

Goodbye Desert Dogs. See you in five years. Time to buzz off to make way for the Utah Swarm or Utah Book of Mormons.

 

[McRpro]

That's twice now some of us have watched this franchise salute their home fans for the final time. Feel bad for their fans but god damn this soap opera is finally over.

Guy makes under $3m and was at the top of so many posters' on this board list as a cap dump over the last 2 years. Good luck finding a 20 goal scorer to replace him for that price this summer
