As much as I’m enjoying the Ron Burgundy commentary, is the permanent camera shot on him necessary?

Edmonton calling out a player is the dumbest thing you can do, but not for the reason everyone will probably think. They're wrong, not for calling out a player, but because they suggest in their brilliant hockey minds over at that organization that Rieder's 15 goals would've gotten them into the playoffs. The top 3 in the Pacific is super top heavy, but that's because they get to beat down on the other four scrubs of that division. Avs would be trailing Calgary by a couple of points if we got to play Canucks, Oilers, Ducks, and Kings every other night...

Now with that said, Rieder is way better player than not scoring a goal the whole season. Come on man, you got more freakin' talent than that. Geez.

Well, they're also wrong for calling out the player.

If you're a free agent, why the **** would you want to play for the Oilers?

Oh absolutely this hurts their image, but money talks and players will bat a blind eye when they're getting a deal which they really like (overpayment or not and regardless of situation). But I get the sense that they're not going to be big players in free agency anymore from what they learned in the Lucic, Russell, and Sekera contracts. They're going to name a new GM and allow him to start up the next rebuild they desperately need.

It was even more hilarious to read Nicholson's GM talk today. Said he's confident with Keith Gretzky and Bob Green (yes, THE Bob Green responsible for the Griffin Reinhart trade) heading into the Combine and Draft, but not confident in them heading into July 1st....

Like.... sometimes, it's better to just say nothing at all.

OMG that is bad, like brutally bad if the English language can use those two together. Hopefully for Oiler fans, that's all smoke and mirrors just for the sake of answering media's questions. You know, already eliminating two blokes who are part of the old boys gang would look really bad for the blokes who are in the old boys gang. They're in a sticky situation because McKenzie says they really like McCrimmon, but VGK won't allow anybody to talk to any other organization until the playoffs are over. The problem is that Vegas looks insane at the moment and could go for another deep playoff run which might screw Oilers plans.

What sucks for Oilers fans is that this wasn't just some comment to the media, it was the season ticket holders breakfast :laugh:
