That would have been way, way, way, too obvious! This way, he gets to troll us Leaf fans by giving us Matthews, then, after a few seasons, Matthews will bolt from us to his home town team and rip our hearts out in the process! Book it!Bettman did have the chance to come out behind the curtains and give the lottery ball to Arizona like he did with Pittsburg...but he figured an American kid could sell the game to the rest of the USA playing in the hockey mecca of the world that is Toronto. I mean, look, 2 years after Toronto got Matthews, there's an expansion team in Vegas, and another coming to Seattle.
I agree, Florida and Detroit have been winning along with us. I would feel a lot better if they went on a little cold streak. The point difference is deceiving with the games in hand.
Gudbranson signed for 3 years at 4 million AAV. the guy is even worse than Polak
Cold as ice Taylor lol.
That probably brings us a bit closer to playing the Bruins in the first round.2 nil oilers!

Yeah I mean I’m hoping we can have home ice vs them. I do agree that Tampa is likely out the question to catch.
Man what ever happened to Klefbom and D Nurse, both these guys look so bad at times
Their schedule is about to get a lot more difficult than ours. We can still catch them if Freddy hangs on.**** man, Boston is ****ing annoying. I think we'll be starting the playoffs down in Tampa, to be honest.
I'm gobsmacked by that Gudbranson contract. Every time I've seen him play, he looks like a marginal 3rd pairing defenseman. The Van GM gave up a young NHL forward and two draft picks for this player so he may be committed to see Gudbranson otherwise.
I do, too.**** man, Boston is ****ing annoying. I think we'll be starting the playoffs down in Tampa, to be honest.
Update.
He’s going to get some negative blowblack on this honesty, but I really appreciate it. It’s time folks call a spade a spade when to comes to the Oilers.
Gudbranson and the signing just scream Mike Komisarek to me.It's why the Canucks won't be a good team anytime soon. Benning'd.
I miss some of those players that speak their minds. Not just the standard we need to work harder.
Ah the days when a Roenick/Chelios would just say whatever.
