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

[tiger_80]

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.

Should be appropriately renamed as Salt Lake City Saints, or something.

Alright oilers the deal is done, I will give you as many powerplays as you need this playoffs.

I hope not. Would be crushing for the existing fans, but even if there is a new arena deal the team still won't generate a large enough fanbase. AZ just isn't a hockey market, Bettman refused to admit it but it's the truth

They don't sell alcohol in Utah. Some guys will stay away from Coyotes like from the plague.

They actually do. It’s fairly normal as far as booze goes.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Holy shit i just realized this is steven. Wonder what was going on here.

Nothing says Steven is a loser like everything Steven posts, but that guy ain’t him.

They're going to gave a hard time selling jerseys when half the crowd just wears a dress shirt and tie.

Was being a bit facetious but the market is too big. We see this pattern with Atlanta being talked about as a high target expansion market for the third strike. But no arena no bueno.

 

[Coffey]

Anyone give a shit about this game?

All I cared about was Foegele hitting 20 ahahaha

Outdid Matthews with that one.

Yeah I think it's inevitable. 36 team NHL is coming and the greedy owners/Bettman aren't going to turn down 4+ Billion in expansion fees.

My guess is we see Houston, Atlanta, Phoenix 2.0 (with the exact same outcome), and somewhere like KC. Combined 25M + people in their metro areas.

If the NHL full sells out and starts doing stupid play-in gimmicks like the NBA, I think my interest in this league will decrease drastically.

I had a couple guys I think were trying to sell me season tickets to the Salt Lake City Sermons today... I didn't answer the door.

 

[Davo Ikinzom]

Don't have to worry about any expansion draft either? Bonus!

 

[bellagiobob]

Guessing that Bouch, Ekholm, Connor, Drai and Hyman sit tomorrow.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Just call up the Condors. Treat it like a preseason game. Half ass it, hell I don’t care…mix the teams up for shits and gigs.

Don’t understand the chest pumping by some on here.

Pretty sad day for a lot of people. Sure the team wasn’t profitable and caused the league a lot of headaches, but they’re leaving now. Show some class

The husbands will have to buy season ticket packages in packs of 6 seats to accommodate all their wives. Should be a hit.

They'll survive. They'll get a new team soon enough. This isn't like Quebec City or Hartford, actual "sad" events because you knew that was never coming back.

The league will do everything they can to go back to Arizona.

We got beat by 13 year olds

Bettman's sole job is revenue creation for his bosses, the 31 and soon to be growing cartel partners. When he took over in 1992, the NHL's gross was US$400 million and now approaching $6 billion Sadly, it's not about the game or fans as Gary, owners and their player partners remind us when lock-outs roll around.

Is answering the door ever a good idea anymore?

The organization has been a blight on the league since their inception. Didn’t see any tears from Colorado or Phoenix when Quebec and Winnipeg lost their teams. The only sad thing is that this bandaid should have pulled off 15 years ago.

Don’t read other teams boards if they make you upset. If Oiler fans were shit talking in their thread you would have a point.
