I've had some decent conversations with some of you, but this stuff is not why I came here. I did let some of you get under my skin too much and I lashed out and got a bit personal so I'm just going to go. I only have so many free hours per night to "talk hockey" so I thought I'd lurk on this board a while ago and then I eventually started posting myself. Given my previous experience with the game I thought I'd lend a few insights.

In my daily life, no one speaks to me the way some of you do and I'm just not used to it. In hindsight, I guess I dealt with it poorly. I used to be the one to end the battles on the ice, and now I am the one who ends them in the boardroom, but I realize that this is an entirely different forum. On the internet, I can't reach you physically and I cannot beat you financially so I just get frustrated at the personal comments. People do not treat me this way.

Holy s#*t!!! It was J LO????

I think he'd want to replace the 2c with a bigger, more physical guy.
but if he had a shot at a package for the dman we so desperately need or the winger with size, and it had to be gagner going, he better fuking consider arco there.

arco @ 2C and quality two way dman >>>>>>gagner

I agree. Arco is pretty solid both ways and does throw the body. I haven't really seen him get outmuscled either.

Lots of chatter on twitter r/t Katz and his net worth going up 2% - tonnes of fans stating it was due to the 5% ticket price increase LOL....

Hey who was the guy on here that made all the claims of being really rich and physically intimidating?

One of those players that plays way bigger than he actually is- which is welcomed on this team much like Perron...

He'd be the first guy I'd (frank) in jail.

it was macts fault for not getting a better back up 2 start with. dubies first year as a starter and u get the worse back up In the league just dumb. dubie has been better lately but so has the whole team. this team needs everyone going 2 succeed, the playoffs might not be in the picture but we need something to build off come next year hope the wins continue.

Awesome. This needs to go in epic posts.

If the Oilers can play a full 60 minutes like they did against Columbus then they have a real chance of climbing up the standings. They did a great job in the last few minutes of the third to make sure Dubnyk was able to get the shutout which should help with team bonding. The 7 goals proves that they can put the puck in the net, even if it was against the Blue Jackets.

Do we have an archive of those? Most of them would be taken up by newmy/bsteinly/hallfan, correct?

Maybe we can do a trade halfway through the game and get Kulikov in an Oilers jersey. How's THAT for a ratings boost. Straight up WWE style.

The absolute very best ones were from a former Oilers poster called edmontonoilerking, or more simply, The King. Kind of similar to hallwillcrushu but way better.

Just make sure you take my name out of the post. That guy was some kind of special. He had me shaking in my boots.

Ok, so a little confused here???

Does Al Hacker=Jennifer Lopez?

At least you're giving us credit and not totally ignoring our play like one Mr. Tortorella.

Glad to see Ek mention Campbell to the Oilers cuz now it will never happen. Why would the Oil be interested in another offensive defense man that has a ridiculous contract? Even if Florida picks up some of that salary, we don't need him at this time.

Campbell is a VERY good defenseman by eye and by numbers. He drives puck possession better than anyone on Florida and it isn't close. His contract was insane when he signed it, now it's high but nearly as prohibitive as it was before and the Cap is always going up.

Not for a long time, something like 10 years now.

I don't think it's that horrid. Depending on cost he'd be a real good pickup for this team. I just don't see why he waives his NTC to come from Florida to Edmonton, them playing in Edmonton tonight sure as (frank) doesn't help or cause either.
