Events in the skills competition:
- Beach ball stopping
- How long it takes to answer the bell
- fastest turnover (Schultz should win this one)
- toe dragging
- hit avoidance
- best ice flop
- best comeback
- best swarm
- best shot to miss the net
- best offside (Yakupov is the favorite in this one)
Followed up by an off ice event....
- The best Excuse in an interview (This is between Ference and Hall)

Pathetic.

The players are relieved that the wood chopping and water carrying events have been removed since Eakins was canned. They really didn't want to break a sweat today

The players should give back by tossing their jerseys into the stands.

The player who's jersey doesnt get tossed back wins.

I'm sure that MacT has carried on the chop wood carry water legacy of Eakins

Meh, it's a decent cheap family event, and kids under 8 don't really care how much the Oilers suck, they just want to see NHL players.

Drai wins fastest skater...

Drai is fast when he gets going, he just needs a bit of control and better acceleration... But no apparently Drai is the worst skater to ever exist.

 

[NewBoysClub97*]

Ya that's pretty much it.taking little kids to it.

Fixed.

Actually most kids recognize the Oilers suck and say so. A 5 yr old would realize this. You're not giving enough credit to assessment ability.

Child abuse.

which explains why Rexall is filled with kids, and the autograph signings at WEM always pack the mall right?

Tongue and cheek is tongue and cheek.

They're also having a special "Jersey Tossing" competetion where the players have the scoop up jerseys from the ice and throw them back into the crowd as quickly as possible. Really gets the fans involved. What a class organization.

There will also be Water Bottle Squirting for the coaching staff.

 

[Replacement*]

This is like the Washington Generals hosting a skill competition.

Should have cancelled this event when they decided to cancel the Oilchange series.

Don't show up yet again for an NHL hockey game for the 30th time this season, play around at skill competition the next day.

Gotta be a whole lot of awkward squrirming.

Or at least I'd hope. That would require pride.

Lets charge people money to watch the oilers actually get the puck in the net

Edmonton Oilers @edmonton_oilers

Justin Schultz runs into foam pylon. Out with lower body injury. More to come.

 

[NewBoysClub97*]

Hall and Petry were near the incident.they didn't go near the foam pylon. They just skated away...
