Ryan Whitney trolls the Oilers

[The Nuge]

That's not trolling...

 

[Seedling]

Meh. Whitney trying to be cool.

 

[T-Funk]

I see he still hasn't got over us overpaying him millions of dollars...

 

[thadd]

Niiiiice. Hope this turns into a popular thing to do.

Your motto says 'Oil4life', then you want people to start a mocking trend on the oilers. Way to go champ

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

do not forget former player who now play over here in Europe-- Belov was one guy who's comments got picked up--but Omark and other also took shots at the team--I found some amusing

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!

Big difference between a fan who has no impact towards the on ice outcome of a game and a guy who was an ingredient in this mess that is the Oilers.

Fans that go to the games pay for their "enjoyment". Whitney got paid for a job that he was unable to perform.

But, meh, he will be a dynamo in the KHL with his witty Twitter comments..

You want to know who trolls the Oilers?

The Oilers.

 

[Joey Moss]

It would be better if he was still in the NHL..

The Oilers.

They troll themselves? Good thing they can't talk on social media during the regular season!

 

[OttawaOilers]

Whitney hasn't been a part of the team in 2 years, and his own personal decline was the result of career threatening injuries. Even if you wanted to discredit him on the basis of his inability to perform, it still discredits the organization(which did nothing to fill in the hole his injuries created) more than it does him.

He had zero control in the outcome of the team's performance, or even his own career.

Yeah, he played on the team and was absolutely ineffective. I would say that is having a part in the outcome of the team's performance. As well, he was picked up by the Oilers when very few teams had any interest in him based on his history of injuries.

Wasted effort on this thread - who cares what he said.

Classic Ryan Whitney

 

[KCC]

Ha. That was kind of sweet. Not laugh out loud funny or anything, but worthy of a slight smile.

 

[Jumptheshark]

it is funny

 

[Kulleroinen*]

So I guess he is a bit pissed. Big deal.

 

[Kayen]

I found it amusing. I see no reason to attack him for it...

 

[McBaevid]

relax, im sure players on the team feel the same way.

 

[Playa Hejda]

It's too bad he caught his skate in a rut and wrecked his ankle. I thought he was pretty good before that injury.

 

[Roof Daddy]

Kinda funny. Don't see the harm in it. Falls into the same category as the Kings mascot holding up the "Hockey for Dummies" book behind the Oilers bench.

If the players or organization has a problem with it, there's alway the obvious solution - win some friggin games.

 

[McArthur]

who is ryan whitney, and if I quit my job, I wonder if I could get on a KHL team

 

[beaterson]

Closest resemblance to a top 2 D since Lubo

 

[Mav3rick07]

Good. We deserve it.

 

[Nunymare]

At least he's not being obnoxious about it and embarrassing himself like Mike Commodore is.
