What I'm trying to say here, is Connor McDavid is going to light the Habs up like a loving bonfire tomorrow.

Nah, Oilers are doing bad right now. Habs will probably shut down McDavid and win easily.

Well I was half right.

Now that it's bye week time, maybe the Oilers can unfuck whatever happened to them during the All-Star break and go back to being good.

Apparently Price, Weber and MaxPac had a meeting with Bergevin since last game, at the GM's request.

Coaching staff was not invited.

Please please please please please please please please please please please please

Bergevin probably just wanted to make sure they were on board with him giving Therrien a 5 year, $5 mil per year extension.

Who would be a better replacement than him?

Well, Boston did just fire Stanley Cup winner Claude Julien, and Julien can speak French, so... :v:

Brent Burns is fuckin' ridiculous and I might just give him the Hart right now. I dunno what Crosby is doing is quite impressive too so it's hard to pick. That's my story.

You'd have to think those two along with McDavid leading in points and possibly carrying the Oilers into a playoff spot should make up the top 3 nominees. Personally, while I want McDavid to win the Hart because I'm biased and think he's the MVP of his team amongst those 3, I'd have no problem with Burns winning because holy poo poo is he ever having a good season.

Imagine Goldblum's train of thoughts. He traded away a star player because the coach didn't like him. Now he's gonna have to fire the coach because his peewee system doesn't work without stellar goaltending.

"Boy I sure hope nobody asks why I didn't fire Therrien before I got rid of a fan favorite just to please him."

Who's to say he won't just decide that Price is now the problem and trade him away rather than fire Therrien? :v:

Oilers now have as many wins and points as they did all of last season. Every point they get from here on out is pure improvement over last season, so that's nice.

The Edmonton Oilers are currently the best NHL team in Canada. I don't think anybody would have predicted that before the season began.

Maybe the Flames shouldn't play shitheads like Matthew Tkachuk if they want to take less penalties.

The Kings are so hosed.

They aren't totally hosed yet. They play the Flames 4 times in their final 22 games, which will make or break their season. If they can win at least 3 in regulation, they should be able to pass them easily. Even going 2-2 leaves the door open. But if they don't do either...yeah, they're probably hosed. Which I really hope isn't the case, because gently caress the Flames.

Oilers lost to Nashville 5-4, where the GWG was offside yet after 7 minutes of reviewing it they got the call wrong and said it was onside:

Why even bother having the Coach's Challenge if they can't get the loving call right?

Probably Chicago. Although the funniest option (imo) would be Washington, in Game 7 OT no less. :v:

There are 4 separate instances where Gryba and his wife combined used "your" instead of "you're". That's bad, but I guess it should be expected from Edmonton players at this point:
