Big Kass buries one, hope he has a strong year (while Edmonton crashes and burns naturally)

Calgary will get another prime prospect this year. Goaltending is trash as always

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Watching the leafs/sens game and this oilers/flames game back to back is going to make watching our top 4 this year a little bit better atleast

On the opposite side
How come non of these games had a too many men on ice penalty yet?

Curious how long it takes until Jon Gilles gets a shot. Kid is an absolute stud.

Elliot is fine
But he needs to play behind a real good defence if he's your starter

I'd expect him to get some games in 2017-2018. Basically a more established Demko.

I like our top 4 personally
I mean, let's ignore the rest of it but you know

Saving all the too many men penalties for us

 

[pahlsson]

have to wonder why these young teams never bother to acquire brandon sutter type players instead of running with bottom of the barrel scrubs in their bottom 6

We will eventually get one when we have our net empty, just watch..

Tkachuk has an ugly stride, almost Hodgson esque.

Nobody won.

Buffalo paid Hodgson $4.25m * 6 years. They lost.

It wont stop him from scoring 500 goals in the NHL, 400 against us

Everyone lost.

Canucks got Kassian for a then-productive Hodgson, who turned out to be a bust and lost him for pennies on the dollar.

Kassian bottomed out.

Hodgson retired (though I guess he gets paid for doing nothing now.)

Sabres bought Hodgson out.

Gillis took a ton of heat for it (along with the Luongo contract) and is out of the league.

Habs got Scrivens for a washed out Kassian (who's actually still in the league) for Scrivens who is now in Europe. Though I guess that's more "meh"

That trade had nothing good come of it.

Burke with another swing and a miss with goaltending.

Habs got a 6th and dumped a bad contract.

Canucks ended up in the same spot.

Buffalo ended in a financial hit.

Some losers lost harder.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Oh look! Everyone's favorite bald-headed goober!

 

[Balls Mahoney]

How many cans of Turtle Wax do you think goes on that dome?

Love how Wayne Gretzky signs on with the Oilers now. The McDavid lottery win just altered every single aspect of that franchise. It went from the last place anyone would want to go to the new chic place to play.

Gretzky was part of the pitch made to Justin Schultz in 2012.

I'd agree with that.

In the end, we dealt a NHL scrub for a AHL scrub (while giving a 5th in the process).

I still question whether they're any better than us (not like that would be a great achievement right now....)

 

[shortshorts]

Boy is there ever a lack of creativity without Hudler.

 

[Beansy*]

Yeah, but now he has actually signed on to work for them. Just going to ride the McDavid wave, along with Chiarelli and big Todd.

 

[Balls Mahoney]

Talbot looks great tonight.

 

[Josepho]

Tkachuk is not NHL ready at all.

 

[pahlsson]

Tkachuk is not NHL ready at all.

stuck him on the 2nd line right away too

maybe he's getting the hodgson treatment, trade incoming
