Got into an argument with a friend, who's the better player, Max Domi or Nugent-Hopkins?

You’d have $7. And hopefully you’d buy your beleaguered friend (me) a beer with it.

Nugent Hopkins. As of now anyway.

Nuge, by a fairly large margin. He's just so strong defensively and so consistent. His skill/talent is substantially better than Domi, but I like Domi' s passion more.

On the wing, Domi is faster, drives the net more effectively, and is more fun to watch, but Nuge is also a major offensive threat on the wing.

At centre, there's no comparison...Nuge is hands down a better C. Not even close.

I watch both of these guys a lot. Man I'd love Domi on the Oilers.

And this is the one you could actually get...


What about Ferland? Not a center but...

It’s not the money or term I hate the most it’s his NMC.....he holds all the cards

Classic Chia 101... everyone gets NMC... even (frank)ing Koski... the 5 month NHLer... smfh

Nielsen is a center. Nuge and Yammer for Nyquist and Nielsen and Svechnikov.

Large margin?? Put down the Oiler Homer glasses and compare this season from each...

Nyquist is better than both. Trade for him damnit.

Maybe I'm just doom-and-gloom, but the firing of Chiarelli really only showed me one thing: the disease of failure is still endemic within the Oilers upper brass. Nicholson is as much of the problem as Chiarelli was. As much as MacT is. As much as Lowe was/maybe still is. As much as Howson is. As much as Gretzky is. All of them.

The adulation of "Oilers culture" by Burger Bob at the post-Chiarelli press conference is proof positive that they just don't get it. They don't get that THEY are getting in their own way, that THEY are the malaise that surrounds this team and that THEY are what stops this team from growing with the game. Perpetually two steps behind the curve and forever drowning in their own arrogance.

I've heard that they still haven't interviewed anyone for the GM position yet. Wouldn't surprise me at all if they're just waiting to interview 'their guy' (McCrimmon, according to some). Classic Oilers...

Hitch won’t call out a shot blocker. He loves watching players take a hard shot to the body. It’s grit, not poor defence to him.

Hopefully the Bomb is back next week. Y’all need him to remain a bubble team that just misses the playoffs and gets a middling first round pick in a mediocre draft. Not ideal. Especially with the projection of this years draft.

Watch the Condors instead. 10 game winning streak. Must have a great farm team, so maybe your cupboards aren’t as barren as thought. Development from within.

Brossoit looks like a stud!

Trade Drai and Koskinen for Bob and Panarin if extensions are possible. Why the hell not. But Bobby und Bread want New York not New Edmonton.

Go Keith Go!

Thats Coilering 101... The dumb female genitalias in office will drive the team to not make the playoffs and not get a decent pick all at the same time smfh (frank) this team and (frank) the Coilers... 13 years of Coilering and counting

Nailed it M-bone but unless Katz is going to sell the team, or the old guard resigns?!?!?

The Oilers are destined to perpetually suck and the Flames are going to move to Quebec in lieu of equalization payments. Tough times in Alberta.

Sekera is starting his conditioning stint with the Condors which will be 3 games.....up to 5 if the league approves of 2 extra games then they will have to decide if they will take him off of IR or not

Depends on what expectations you have for him if he gets through those games without any issues....I’m not expecting a lot out of him and I’m keeping in mind he hasn’t played hockey in quite sometime....if he is good to go after this stint then the Oilers will have to create cap space to fit him in....I’m sure the geniuses that run this club have a plan in place

Ah yes. I'd quite forgotten about that. Care to guess how/what they will do to accomplish said cap compliance?

I think they could send some people down to the Condors....there could be a trade in the works....I really don’t know what the plan is if he is good to go....just one more reason why the Manning deal makes zero sense

Your friend is probably retarded... I'm assuming you were arguing in favor of RNH and if you weren't then you're retarded.

I will have a blog up for you lovely people later today

You’re too covered in mud and poop most of the time. Not exactly lovely.


Although, you have the most wonderful personality.
