Patrick Maroon: I don't know if God is punishing us.

Wow, just...WOW. Your team has gotten THE best possible picks/players from the last decade despite doing next to nothing to deserve them, and you're saying god is punishing you?

How about shutting that pretty little mouth of yours and step up your game to prove you're worth a shit?

 

[Ainec]

God is going to punish them with Dahlin


f***kkkkkkkk

It's just plain sad how jealous some people can get.

You're just mad that you don't have your own clothing line:

To be honest at one point last night the shots were 28-6 in favour of the Oilers and they were down 2-0. I can see how one can think "you got to be kidding me! How do we not even get a bounce! etc" Now there are some performance issues as to why it was 2-0 but they played a good game last night and have played some good game the last little while. If I were a betting man I'd put money on them going on a run.

Tends to happen when you lose games despite playing pretty decent hockey.

Belesky on waivers 2.5 years left at $3.8 million and Benning wants the guy most likely

You saw right through me!

Why can't I have my own clothing line? WHY!

Cody Hodgson might be able to sell his clothing line to you, completely turnkey

Gagner has same term left but just 700k less then Belesky annualy...

Then they trade him to us for a guy named Burroughs.

Nice.

Sure, one can play a good game and because of bad luck the game was lost. It happens.

But this guy is on the team with probably THE most amount of positive luck in modern NHL era, despite being wildly undeservingly so. It's the same as Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton saying stupid bs like "oh why do everything bad happen to me wah wah wah wah wah".

Like...excuse me princess was there too much sugar on your cake? Would you like someone to kiss your boo boo?

 

[Ryan Miller*]

Still think the Oilers make the playoffs.

I still think they can make a run too.

They are a good possession team.

I think it’s a comment made in the moment about the moment. He isn’t going to be thinking about past Oiler draft lottery wins because that’s not something that is going to be in his mind at the time. Nor was he a member of the team. It was clearly a comment based on frustration of playing some decent hockey but not getting results.

Based on what?

Winning the lottery the year RNH and Yakupov are #1? If the Canucks did that we'd laugh at how bad our Canuck Luck is. Edmonton was more unlucky than lucky.

Hall? Won the lottery and moved from #1 to #1. #2 was Seguin so they gained nothing from winning, lost nothing.

McDavid - Very lucky.


Edmonton's is 1-2-1 when it comes to luck.

Four 1st round picks in six years, and landing McDavid. Yeah, that's quite bit of good luck by being an embarrassment. Drafting the wrong players is bad scouting and decision-making, just like how the orcas drafted JV.

My point is, the hockey God has done the very opposite of punishing that team. They can complain about bad bounces in a game, but saying God is punishing them is just stupid.

Be interesting to see how the Flames fare against the Preds....The Preds hardly have any weaknesses as a team..I would have to have them as a SC favourite...

On another Flames note...It doesn't look like that Lazar deal is working out that great for them.

Did you just see what GOD did to us, man?

God didn’t do that you did- you f***ing narcotics agent

Arizona and their "top-5 d-core" finding new and creatively painful ways to lose. Wonder how long genius boy Chayka lasts. You trade a top-10 pick and you expect not to be the worst team in the league by far. Can only imagine the uproar if dum-dum Benning committed such an error. The first 2 "analytics regimes" sure went up in flames fast.

Yeah since Panthers are doing so much better without their analytics dudes. If you look at what the coyotes are doing you would get where there at. They were clear winners of the 2016 draft in grabbing Keller and Chycurn in the first round both who are looking better at the guy we picked 5th overall. I would take Chyka over Benning any day.

Florida looks so much better with Tallon, though right? Marchessault and Smith lmao

Yep, Dvorak has been a dissapointment so far for them compared to expectations but seeing how their team is assembled capwise and structured is pretty envious. If they can get a good goalie in the next year or two they will be a threat once their elc forwards develop more

Benning doesn't have to operate with a budget $15+ million under the cap....errr that might be a good thing as it would mean no Eriksson contract on the team for starters.

Will it be in Phoenix? The plan for Arizona was to be in the playoff race this year. They were suppose to be a lot better instead their young core other than Keller regressed and now I would say Vancouver has better young core.
