This time they're actually trying to do something to change that Old Boy's club they called Management up there.
So the Oilers just picked up the guy who GM'd the Bruins to some very successful years, and they're handing him a team with some decent players and McDavid incoming.
They're a head coach away from potentially finally getting the hell out of the cellar.

Lol, I don't even know why I bother with Sports Center anymore.
They were standing in front of a screen with the Stanley Cup Playoffs logo, and they're talking about the Steph Curry shot for almost a full minute. "Wow! What an amazing shot, I'm sure you've all seen it by now!"
Then the blonde says "We'll get back to the NBA soon, but for now, we're going to talk about the NHL" (I lol'd at this. "DON'T CHANGE THE CHANNEL PLEASE WE'LL GET BACK TO BASKETBALL SOON!!!")
Then Melrose talks for about 60 seconds, and boom, back to basketball. Steph Curry being interviewed about that shot.

Yeah, all of those 3-0 series are so exciting
Seriously, what a joke. (I'm an NBA hater for the record). Why do they even play the first round? Take away the Spurs-Clippers series, which the 'underdog' Spurs (defending champs and worse record by one game) lead the series 2-1. Other than that series, favorites are 19-0. Nineteen and zero. Five series are 3-0 right now. How can they justify a seven game series in the first round? It makes no sense.

Reminds me of when they interviewed Coyle about his goal being number 1 on SC one night, and his response was something like, "Were there 9 dunks for the other top plays?" or something like that.
The NBA just doesn't have the parity that the NHL has. I am not a fan of the NBA or basketball in general at all. I will tune in if I am flipping channels and there is a close game but that is about it. Last year's Finals games were all blowouts. Besides the TV money, there really is no point of the first round being a best of 7. I don't think a team lower than a 3 seed has ever won an NBA title. So if your team gets in as a 4 or worse, you have no chance.
Give me a 0-0 over time NHL game over an NBA blowout with tons of dunks any day.

I had always been curious how Vancouver ended up with 2 and 3 overall to get both Sedins. Pretty fascinating. 3 was their own pick, and they traded up to get 4. Then they packed 4 overall with 2 third-rounders (only!) to get up to #1 overall. Then traded 1 overall AND a conditional 3rd rounder for ONLY #2 overall on the condition that Atlanta wouldn't take either Sedin.
All of this done within 24 hours. Crazy.

Well, I mean at least he owns one of the greatest plays of all time.
It IS the greatest play of all time.
How many games did he play after this for the Stars?
