Rebooting myself
Big Rig has no goals this year so we can not say he is missed--when he goes on a scoring streak we will get a comments that says other wise

Fire Lucic into the sun and #BringBackTheBigRig. Patty Maroon can do Looch's job at a quarter of the cost.

I never said Lucic didn't, I was just pointing out how disappointing Maroon has been this year.

Played his best hockey here , also think that would have continued if he could have stayed. His days where numbered after he was out performing peters 6 million dollar man.

Impossible for me not to be happy for the Big Rig.

Yeah, Maroon is a nice guy and I liked Big Rig as much as anybody but he's not a 20 goal guy away from McD.
Those comments are not a real good look either. Seems to overrate his own contributions. He had a very poor season, making up for it now but he was shit on a plate all season.
The trouble with both Kassian and Maroon is they both disappear for long periods.
Maroon thing is done and not coming back.

He was a good Oiler and I’m really happy for him. He is right where he should be.

Sometimes miracles
Maroon is what he is as a player, but he's an easy guy to like because he seems to embody a lot of the best of what we like to see in a pro athlete. I can't wish him enough success, I know I'm rooting for him to take this all the way.

He did well for us when he was here. I can respect his need to want to play close to his son. Glad he's getting to do that and also going deep in the playoffs. Win/win for him. I'd rather he be there than here. Clearly being present in his sons life is a big deal.
He's got solid character.

Always loved Big Rig. But honestly its going to hurt like hell to see him raising a cup and it not being here. That's going to be one huge hit to the solar plexus because he was one of my favorite players here.
Good for him though, not so good of a feeling here.

I am conflicted, I love Boston, its always been my second favorite team. But i hate Brad Marchand so much it almost makes me cheer against them. Then there is Patrick Maroon who is an awesome guy, a former Oiler with a feel good story of returning home, playing for his favorite team growing up and getting to the finals.
I always have an attachment to former Oiler players that were also good people. Just might be enough for me to cheer for the blues but i am very confused.

Patty Maroon is one of my all time fav Oilers. Worked his ass off everytime he was on the ice, exuded emotion on and off the ice, and is overall a really easy guy to like.
Pulling for Patty in the final here. Bring it home for Anthony!

Patty is just a beauty. As the dad of a boy about the same age a Lil Rig, it nearly brought me to tears last year when Patty choked up during his interview. I both respect and admire his decision to play in St.Louis to be a bigger part of his sons life. As Holland said, “Character is people.” Maroon, at least from what we can see from the outside, embodies character. I miss him and hope he gets to skate the Cup around with his son. Go Blues!
