Last night at the game, there was a guy walking around with a sign that said "Flames fans. Canucks fans. At least we can all agree that we hate the Oilers. RIP McDavid."

It's official: McLellan is now a free agent.

Imo, I think McLellan would do well with the Flyers.

Cannot believe this article is actually on Sportsnet, wow

Flames should grab their special teams coach since the assistants departed as well.
Sharks PP has always been deadly, and the Flames have been inconsistent at best.

I agree, fantastic choice for them.

TSN = Toronto Sports Network

But yeah, not only is this article heavily Leafs biased, but it's also essentially calling for the NHL to rig the lottery. Classy.

EDIT: Got confused, was looking at the other link in this thread. Just now saw that was a Sportsnet article, not TSN. My bad.

Now that is what I call a rag.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

The author of that article should be fired, immediately. Sportsnet isn't trying to be the Inquirier, and that's how they are coming off.

 

[Bouma Fett*]

That's legitimately embarrassing

 

[Calculon]

Sharks should fire Wilson as well. Completely poisoned the well with Thornton and co.

I actually would have preferred Toronto over Edmonton for McDavid. But amusing to see that guy actually wanting the league to rig the lottery. Everyone knows they would have been crying murder if Arizona had won.

Sounds like a great idea.

Any chance he ends up in Edmonton?

 

[Anglesmith]

I don't think they're looking for a head coach right now.

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

If he doesn't want to be in San Jose because he's lost the locker room, I can't see him wanting to go somewhere where the inmates are already running the asylum.

 

[Volica]

Sounds like a great idea.

Our coaching staff has to be French Canadian or at least sound like it.

Not a Flames fan, but coming here in peace to wish you all at least 7 years () of success and dominance over the Oilers. Watching the Oilers fans lord McDavid over the other 29 teams will be painful (they're already smug as hell and it's been not even 2 full days yet) but it will be even more annoying to be subject to it as their number one rival. I would love to see the Flames crush Oilers fans' dreams for years to come. No better messenger of heartbreak than their closest rival. Good luck!

Speaking about the Oilers, I don't see them making the playoffs next year. The West is just too good. Calgary and Vancouver have the possibility of missing the playoffs next yr, meanwhile Dallas and Colorado could rebound big time next season; same with LA.

Just like how Crosby and Ovechkin didn't turn their teams around immediately, there will be no difference with McDavid.

Jordan Sigalet and Jamie Pringle are not very french

Ovechkin and Crosby didn't turn it around without the help of Backstrom and Malkin, though.

I see McDavid making a huge impact, but not as big of an impact to get them into the playoffs.

According to Friedman, the Oilers have reached out to McLellan to see if he's interested.

Surprisingly astute move for them, even though Nelson was pretty good for them. McLellan by himself still won't make them a playoff team in all likelihood though.

It would also be punch to the face for Nelson considering what he as done compared to Eakins. He knows how the players from OKC play, there is a reason why Lander is doing good as he is.

I have a feeling the Oilers are going to be more active in a good way in the near future after promoting Bob Nicholson today.
