They've had a brutal run of injuries. They still have several high-end vets and quality young kids knocking at the door. They're going to remain a tough team to beat for a while.

Edmonton's had some kind of horrid identity crisis going on these last few years, and I fear that's going to be the Sabres pretty soon after a few good picks. I want to be optimistic... but you know, being a Sabres fan...

Think Colorado instead.

Not if the Oilers get Ekblad and McDavid.
Connor McDavid
Taylor Hall
Nail Yakupov
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins
Aaron Ekblad
Darnell Nurse
That core has to turn the Oilers around.

How is Edmonton so bad? I just can't wrap my mind around how that is possible with all the picks they've had...

Their defense is as bad as our offense. They've blown all their high end picks on forwards, and it shows.

I am sorry, but there is something severely wrong going on in Edmonton right now...I mean what kind of fans do this!?!? And you wonder why everyone who goes to Edmonton fails. ^_^
"Hey @AVPreports, classy move writing a slam story by cherry-picking tweets my wife sent to make it seem like she doesn't like Edmonton. @AVPreports You're gutless. And to those of you who commented on the article or tweeted at her about how she's lazy (even though she's not in Edmonton now because she has a fulltime job in LA she can't just up and leave) or that she married rich (even though we got married while I was playing in the AHL) or that she's dumb (she's an Ivy League and graduate school grad), just know I'm embarrassed to say that you are an Edmontonian. Way to make my family feel welcome."

Who is the player? To be fair to Edmonton, I'm sure every fanbase has people saying pathetic things to players and their family on twitter.
Edit: I went on that goober's twitter and figured out that it's Scrivens.

What I would've given to see Miller stick it to the insufferable Buffalo media/fans in 2011...
(of course, the reaction to him standing up for his wife would be a little different, and he'd probably have been called a whiner or some other stupid crap)

Its not that they have blown all their high end picks on forwards. They were the best available players at the time.
It's that they have been unwilling to use their assets to improve an area of their team that everyone knows is a glaring weakness.
Columbus jumping all over the Caps, shelling Grubauer out of the net a little over 2 minutes into the 2nd at 3-0.
Good on two fronts:
1a) Columbus playing well coming into Buffalo tomorrow if you are pro-tank
1b) Columbus leaving it all on the ice today if you're anti-tank
2) Washington goaltender issues... again.

I don't think Washington and Buffalo make good trading partners........Neuvirth/Erat are pretty much a dollar-for-dollar exchange for Miller.....and Washington basically no cap room maneuverability.
I doubt that Miller is the piece that puts the Caps over the top, so I don't think that McPhee is going to want to add a whole lot to a Neuvy/Erat package.

The Oilers suck because Taylor Hall's the best player they've drafted by a huge margin, and he plays one of the least important positions in hockey.
Zip, here is what I meant to articulate the last time there was this go-round: if Hall played center, you could put him with a couple of Justin Williams/Jochen Hecht/Pascal Dupuis types, and you'd still have a reasonably productive first line. Those types of players are available every year, and don't come with huge price tags. But their center equivalents (Brandon Sutter, for example) are only traded to upgrade their position, or for much greater returns (Mike Fisher for a 1st+).
It's much easier to find wingers who can keep up with a first line caliber center, than it is to find a center who compliments your wingers.

A bit pricey for Steve Mason, but it's Homer........so not too bad....
Marty St. Louis - all four Tampa Bay goals so far - two of them via the power-play - lead San Jose 4-2 in the second period. Guy still has it!

hell's a gigawatt?
Is he still showing Canada that they made a big mistake by leaving him off the Olympic roster? Sure seems like it.
