Weave

Why the Edmonton Oilers are a dumpster fire, Mark Messier family tree edition. Read it in Old Testament Genesis lineage voice for added entertainment value.

I do not belive a wholesale insertion of kids is going to have a positive impact on a playoff run.

I do not want our 3rd best offensive talent traded when what we need is more offense, but 2C is more important IMO than 1RW. The player coming back would have to be young.

I could think of worse things to brush my teeth with.

Disheartening to realize our cushion is now 12 losses. Seems rather........ challenging, at this point.

Winter can be done now. I'm sated.

I'm glad you said it. We're freaking amateurs basing our opinions on other peoples opinions and youtube snippets. Every freaking one of us would be laughed at in a draft war room.

Pilut was on the ice for all 4 goals against last night. I'd imagine shellshock right about now. I'd be surprised if teams weren't targeting him.

I’m not convinced Housley is coaching them to give up the blueline. I’d bet, if he’s questioned about it he would respond that he needs to see them hold the blueline. And the defense in general is not something that concerns me. Pilut has had a few lousy games now. And I don’t think Scandella is as bad as we tend to make him out to be. He’s more valuable than we give him credit for on the PK in particular. I think 2C is the major concern, and getting Hutton back to earlier season form is the next largest concern. Our bottom pair D follows after IMO.

First cast. The waters are teeming apparently.

My favorite story in the history of the Sabres. Set against the backdrop of the Evil Empire and the cold war. Gat dam. Remember when everyone thought Russia was our enemy and walls separating nations should be torn down?

The assumption that it wasn't genuine is what I don't understand. Dude wore his heart on his sleeve the whole time he was here.

I saw something on my twitter feed about O'Reagan going to Germany next year or something. I'm too damned disinterested to hunt it down again.

How bout them prospects, huh? Gat dam I must be in one hell of a sour mood.

That you call ROR's reaction an act makes my point. It's been reported right here in this forum by supposed people in the know that ROR was suffering from depression every bit as much as Lehner was, and now Berglund. Yet ROR is an actor and Berglund is a target for sympathy. It doesn't make sense to me. Note that I haven't criticized Berglund here. He did what he had to do. I'm just commenting on a disconnect I don't understand.

How? You are twisting and turning to skew results that show pretty much that a perennial very good team in the league has only a marginal difference in their rate over a fairly long period of time.

LOL I think you've proven Eleven's point for him.

According to anonymous sources divulged by members here, ROR had similar mental illness issues. I honestly don't get how one was pilloried and the other given sympathy.

Looking eerily similar to 82-83 when Steve Larmer beat Phil Housley for the Calder.

Got it. Quitter = sympathy. Stick it out and try to power through it = unacceptable locker room presence.

Good for him. I don’t understand how his revelation that he lost his love for the game is being responded to here so differently from RORs revelation.

Interesting you added the college FA part when the convo id about middl round picks. How is the comparison when you just use draft picks on the roster? #haveahunch #toolazytocheckmyself

Cheese and rice, there are alot of youz that are clearly not busy enough doing actual work during the work day.

The clockwise arrow on the bottom right fast forwards about 1 minute per click. I moved ahead quite a bit to get to the intersting banter.

Yeah, that sounds like something you shouldn't ignore or take lightly.
