[3IR]

The league never fails to impress me with the lengths it will go to to f*** us.

On what f***ing grounds?

Good job Gary, you just set an absolutely ridiculous precedent for the league going forward.

On the grounds that it's the oilers of course.

 

[Lrrr]

Weak

‪Ironic that this happens on the same day that Reaves is given no suspension for what was a clear head shot. ‬

‪But Bettman doesn’t play favourites, right ? ‬

 

[McDrai]

I knew this would happen. Gary loves to f*** us over

 

[Soli]

Not even surprised...

Bettman can f*** right off. How they figure this is beyond me.

Makes me hate Bettman and the Flames even more if that were even possible.

A shit leopard can't change its spots. I should know better by now.

 

[Karl Eriksson]

What was the condition again?

 

[3IR]

Neal - 0 goals since the new year
Lucic - 5 Goals since the new year

So naturally, Neal was going to score 2 more and Lucic wasn't going to score 3 right?

How can they just extrapolate without any context and come to a conclusion on this ONE aspect of the season. So frustrating.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

What was the condition again?

That the league can hate f*** the Oilers when given any opportunity.

 

[CanadienShark]

I'm no Oilers fan, but this is ridiculous. I live in Calgary (for some reason) and will be sure to let Flames fans hear about this.

 

[3IR]

What was the condition again?

1. Oilers forward James Neal has to record at least 21 goals in the 2019-20 season
2. Flames forward Milan Lucic scores at least 10 fewer goals than James Neal in the 2019-20 season

So Neal needed to score 2 more goals despite being ice cold and coming off an injury, and Lucic who put up more than half of his goal totals since the new year, wasn't going to score 3 or more in that same time period.

Who cares pick will be at the bottom any ways
Calgary can have the third I will take that big silver cup

Between this and boning us out of a buy which we earned for this playoffs the NHL has yet again f***ed us over.

Can’t wait for Toews and the rest of the Hawks to be waterskiing behind McDavid this playoffs when the NHL decides the rules don’t need to be called anymore.

I honestly question why I support this trash excuse for a broken down men’s beer league sometimes.

It's not about the pick honestly. It's about how this shit happens to us regularly. If there's a chance to f*** the oilers, the league takes it. I know it sounds like some tinfoil hat bullshit, but like.. why are they prorating neals goals but not Campbell's wins for the leafs conditional trade?

 

[McTonyBrar]

This is BULLSHIT!!!!! Neal never f***ing scored 20 GOALS!!!!!!!! He probably wasn’t going to! BULLSHIT

100% agree. I'm just awaiting the refs to f*** us over. This league is like the WWE sometimes.

 

[McDrai]

I wonder if the Oilers can refute this somehow?

 

[Faelko]

The NHL never ceases to amaze me with how poorly it’s run. There’s literally no justification for this.

Like what in the actual ****.

They freeze all the other points, award the Art Ross but for some reason Neals totals are pro-rated?
I hope Holland fights it.

 

[Soli]

 

[3IR]

So they made a special exception just for us. We are blessed.

 

[McTonyBrar]

So the league just did something illegal against rules they created?

 

[RipsADrive]

Is there an appeal process available?
