You thrust your pelvis, huh!
You know you're in Oil Country when the thread talking about the best prospect in the last 10 years has far fewer posts than a marginal trade.

It wasn't even a genuine, honest to goodness reaction welcome. You could see Katz reading off a teleprompter in the background. I mean, what the hell?
it probably wasn't a teleprompter, but his kid holding up cue cards.

I still don't like the fact the Katz's kid stood next to McDavid at the selection photo op...I have no problem with him being up there...but when they started to push Chia off to the side...

Was anyone else ticked off that we had to watch the guy who will usher in a new era and future of the Edmonton Oilers, put on his first Oilers jersey and then stand next to Katz's son and ****ing Craig MacTavish, get the hell out of here guys and let him stand next to some people who deserve some props.
So caught up in the Reinhart blockbuster, guess we also drafted this David O'Connor kid from the OHL.
Haha. It is pretty funny this hasn't even hit 4 pages. But lets be honest... we've talked about McDavid so much the past couple of months there isn't much more to say.

Basically certain oilerfans that have taken for granted what we got 1st overall with their extreme pessimism of any change. Anything that doesn't follow the script "in their minds" in how the team should be run is the "trigger" to react arrogantly and childishly because they didn't get what they want.
With that, hoooooly jebus....XD we just got Connor McDavid. .....Like think about that....Connor McDavid.
Literrally anythng after should be irrelevant because we got the best player in the draft and future. Period!!

Because nothing about McDavid has changed since April while the Reinhart news is fresh and controversial. Maybe if the lottery was this morning or yesterday people would care but today was a formality unlike any other year the Oilers have held the first overall pick.

The two least deserving people flanked McDavid. They couldn't find anyone better for the iconic McDavid draft?

We've been discussing McDavid since the lottery. There is little to discuss as there was no chance we were going to do anything else but make him our pick. So aside from "glad it's official" or "looks good in that jersey", there's little to say that hasn't already been said. It doesn't mean any of us are any less excited about it.
The situation with the 16, however, could've gone any number of ways and was a complete surprise. I think everyone felt that we would either make the pick or trade it for a proven commodity. We did neither and nobody saw anything like it coming.

It was very staged and artificial. You could literally see Katz' eyes moving (even though it was from a side profile) and McDavid's response was just as wooden. I don't know where the idea came from but I would not be surprised if it was a combination of league + Oilers management and maybe a bit of Katz hubris. It was pretty horrible to see.

Hated that jersey until the second he put it on. Absolutely love it now. Man... we just got McDavid.
What a weird day.
