Really? Burkie actually defended the Oil? Didn’t know he had it in him. - Wildschwein
Hockey central at noon. Said the Flames would have taken Puljujarvi and they didn’t expect Tkachuk to make the team. |

MacT is another guy who brought this team backwards with his moves which I won’t repeat here I talked enough about it on the last blog so it’s not surprising he would say something like that.....I loved the Oilers in the 80s but it’s 2019 now - RatedR80
A lot of crappy teams in the 80s, get out of the smyth division and it was clear sailing. |

Yeah players overall are better today and the gap isn’t as wide between teams plus there are way more teams

Hi guys. Somebody said you were giving out sunshine and rainbows today. ☀️🌈. I’m here to collect
4-1 Oilers. You’re welcome. |

That wasn't a very good draft, draisaitl looks to be the pick of the crop so far. - Bettmanhatesus
Pastrnak, Point and Arvidsson are right up there also. Well maybe not so much Arvidsson. |

Larkin I’ll give you. Ekblad and Nylander don’t excite me much. I’d put them in Arvidsson’s category. |

A little late for that BS. Flames had Tkachuk targeted the whole time. Many many articles on it. Doesn’t matter now anyway you look at it tho.

Ekblad as a 22 year old RHD on our blueline would excite me plenty I’ll add Ehlers and Kapanen to the 2014 draft class as well since I forgot about them

They had him targeted because of where they were picking. But if Puljujarvi had dropped they would have taken him. Why would that be BS? |

I’ve never really been a fan of Ekblad. He always leaves me wanting more.
Ehlers is a solid add, but I’m not sold on Kapanen being a star just yet. More time is still needed with him. |

You just doomed us - RatedR80
Wouldn’t a Flames fan rooting for us be a reverse jinx? |

Had one bad game and was thrown to the wolves in another. Small hiccup in an otherwise solid campaign. |

Oh if you thought I was referring to these guys as stars then I apologize I was just suggesting that the 2014 draft wasn’t a terrible one in hindsight....a few stars with some solid talent after that....thankfully for us we got it right with our pick |

No because the rooting for us is just them secretly wanting to see us fail so they can continue to laugh at us....no tinfoil hats here
