Will Skinner be exempt from waivers when Smith eventually returns? I tried to read up on it but there are plenty of variables in the rules.

Hope they whomp the Flames 9-1 again.

I think we win this. Not bias or anything.

 

[BlackDogg]

I would expect Calgary to get the backup goalie so that the Oilers can get the starter.

you mean Biased. Something can have a bias, but it can't be bias. Sorry, misuse of this word is a pet peeve of mine.

Or like the lawyer Jose Baez. Crazy guy.

Anyway…. Yes.

Yes but what’s the correct pronunciation of Broberg?

Couldn’t it be that he was abbreviating his typing on the internet and intended the following usage:
“Not [a] bias -implied: that I possess- or anything.”

The word “bias” does occur naturally/individually in the English language. Is there something wrong with the usage in that context?

The easiest way to find out is clicking the little green icon beside his name on Capfriendly.

He has 67 games left on waiver exemption.

I don't really mean to cause any trouble or anything, I was just pointing it out, but in the context it was used the proper way would be to say "...Not a bias"

Not likely an abbreviation, I see bias misused all the time on here. Truth be told its almost as prevalent as " I could care less" when they mean "I couldn't care less"

Why? Flames play them on Monday, Oilers Wednesday, starter goes both nights.

Ah correct, was thinking Tuesday for some reason

Or people that get to and too confused. Ugh I hate that two.

The Pens are one of those teams who always bring their "A" game against us. 8-2 vs the McDavid Oilers. Would be nice if we could take it to them on Wednesday. Hopefully with some players back in the fold.

Every team brings their A game against the Oilers. The entire damn league has us circled on the calendar. Lol.

That's what happens when you have the best two players in the world.

The last game the pens played in Edmonton, Colby Cave scored a highlight Goal.

Ya it should be a tight game for sure….. do we know who’s in net for the game? Good fully If it’s KOSK he can do what he did against Vegas.
