Meh, I don't really care. He's not wrong.

 

[Paralyzer008]

Should have traded him for a pick at the 2012-13 NHL Deadline.

 

[nabob]

Would have been better if he was wearing an eye patch to go with his peg leg.

 

[Took a pill in Sbisa]

The Oilers take more shots from NHL players than all the other teams combined.
Such an embarrassing organization.

 

[EnthusiasticYak]

Had the exact same reaction when i saw that commercial for the first time, with the added phrase of "OH, I BET!"

 

[The Bored Man]

Good stuff

 

[Starbuds]

I remember that twenty game stretch right after we traded for him. He was a beauty! After that.. uhh..

Same here, except mine had a game show buzzer and a sad trombone.

Even unemployed ex-Oilers get to look down on this team.

 

[oXo Cube]

He sure did help us win while he was here eh?

Glass houses and all that.

 

[gqmixmaster]

his opinion doesnt matter as he was a part of the problem

 

[oiler4ever]

lol that was priceless

 

[harpoon]

Even unemployed ex-Oilers get to look down on this team.

But he's not unemployed. The article says he got a job in KHL.

My reaction to the clip? Meh, Whitney always thought he was funnier than he actually is. And better at hockey too. Irrelevant.

It's really tough to get throw much **** thrown at us, even as fans, and have no ammo to throw back other than 5 cups in the ****ing 80's.

 

[Spawn]

A guy that washed out on the Oilers and then washed out on one of the only teams worse than the Oilers and now is off playing in Europe....

Meh.

 

[Mr Forever]

The best troll job he ever did for the oilers was on the ice.

 

[smackdaddy]

Mock the man not the crest

 

[EnthusiasticYak]

I don't understand how people are replying to this with denunciations of Whitney. The Oilers are the joke of the league and everybody knows it, the more people who publicly pile on the criticism the more pressure on the organization.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

I thought it was funny personally.

Funny and sadly accurate

 

[CanadianSuperPromise]

This.

 

[La Bamba]

Not even mad, he's right.

But he was pretty damn awful in his last couple seasons here, though.

 

[bzur]

The best troll job he ever did for the oilers was on the ice.

Ha! What a joke. Remember when he was leaving the Oilers and was going to sign for a contender and show the Oiler up? What a knob.

 

[FunkyChicken]

Was he trolling the Oilers or his career? Same expression could be used for both.

 

[Tarus]

Kind of funny how we spend most of our time here complaining about how bad the Oilers are.

A player does it however, time to discredit them!

 

[Digger12]

Whitney's within his rights to pile on with everyone else, but if I were one of the current players on the team that was having to live and die with this team and was doing everything I could to win games, especially if he had been a former teammate of mine when he was an Oiler, I'd look at Whitney as a bit of a backstabbing goof.

Whitney might find it all a big joke, but I doubt the players dealing with the here and now find him all that funny.

He's not wrong, the Oilers have looked terrible. But this kind of snide mockery says much about the kind of person he is.
