[Holymakinaw]

Perfect, we can watch our team draft 1st overall live!

I'm betting that's exactly what happens. Anyways......congrats.

It is a great place to host the draft.

 

[besser]

Naw. No one wanted to hear you talk about your bad hockey team. There's a difference.

Whatever, you guys are average at best and have been since what, 2004? Get out of here.

Hi

So Canuck fans, who will be booed aside from Bettman?

Benning

I believe they’ve been past the first round twice in 29 years

 

[Brodeur]

Who was the last home team to get booed?

In Gare Joyce's book "Future Greats and Heartbreaks", I think he mentioned that there was some concern about Doug MacLean getting booed when they hosted the 2007 Draft. MacLean was let go a few months before the Draft.

Let the tank begin!!

How can you tank when the 2019 season hasn't even started yet?

Well the Oilers have been tanking consecutively for ages. Ask them?

 

[Mr Serious]

Well the Oilers have been tanking consecutively for ages. Ask them?

No, I'm asking you. You said, "let the tanking begin" in a 2019 draft thread. I'm asking you, how can you tank if we are still in the 2018 season?

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

No, I'm asking you. You said, "let the tanking begin" in a 2019 draft thread. I'm asking you, how can you tank if we are still in the 2018 season?

I meant this'll be an open invitation for them to tank next year.

Has the host team of the draft ever got the #1 pick before?

 

[hellstick]

With the World Juniors also in Vancouver, lots of young prospects are going to be able to see first-hand the beautiful Vancouver and contribute to pricing me out of the housing market in the future.

 

[Mr Serious]

I meant this'll be an open invitation for them to tank next year.

Based on what?

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Based on what?

Wanting to select in the top 3 as the hosts??

 

[Mr Serious]

Wanting to select in the top 3 as the hosts??

Uh, read the title. The Oilers are not hosting.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Uh, read the title. The Oilers are not hosting.

They'll just pick 4th maybe.

 

[Mr Serious]

They'll just pick 4th maybe.

That is not called a successful tank.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

That is not called a successful tank.

I meant the Oilers next year.

 

[Mr Serious]

I meant the Oilers next year.

I know what you meant.

Ok then...
