Great, now Dowd’s mom is going to call and complain about her son being out

If people thought Vanek was slow, I can't wait for them to see Jokinen try to move up ice.

if he can win even one more faceoff than he loses you should be able to bait a playoff bubble team into forking over a 5th.

Didn't Fiddler get like a 4th last year and he couldn't play anymore. Remember when Paul Gaustad got a first?

All good. We will be cheering for Coyotes as well.😁

lol yes

That was back when we were actually a cup contender and no one wanted to sell players.

Paul Gaustad, Zenon Konopka, Tim Gleason were all TDL studs back then

There was no issue not selling back then.

Just that it was a golden age for bad players in trades. Craig Rivet got a haul one year.

That dumb mentality still exists today. "Well we could trade for this guy who is good but might make a mistake once or twice, or we could trade for this guy who can't skate, pass, or get out of his own end but wins 50% of his faceoffs and hasn't found a puck that he didn't like to fire off the glass and out"

It all started with bartkowskis mom

The Oilers won't make the playoffs next year

Respectfully will disagree. I think they're in. Ran into some pretty bad luck this year. Sekera and Talbot out for months. Draisaitl and RNH out for close to 6 weeks...McDavid played sick for almost three weeks. They'll be back.

Maybe she can date Hodgson's old man...

Even with an 80 million dollar cap they don't have the money to fix their defence and wings.

They'll have 12-17 million bucks for 8 players and need ELC bonus space for Pulijijijaijavajiari and Yamamamamamamto.

Head on over to the new blog, which has the Barzal/Boeser breakdown, Tavares memories and thoughts on Ty Ronning's new deal with the Rangers:

What’s more likely, a team that has finished with fewer than 74 points (often much less) 8 of the past 9 seasons, or a team that matches their one season in the past 10 in the playoffs? Asking for a friend (Canucks)
