Gonna be hard keeping the same group together next season... Don't think we are upgrading anywhere.

If Bouchard hits 41pt mark we would be losing 850K from our cap next season in carryover bonuses

 

[Davo Ikinzom]

I must say the Oilers defensive play has really improved recently. Damn.

The Ekholm effect

Power of Wah

the sound of a loose butthole farting

 

[JeffSkinner53]

So CGY and WPG tied but CGY has one more gp.

McDavid looks like Shore tonight lol

He’s definitely conserving for the playoffs imo

 

[McBooya42]

Way to go Soupy

Soup has been solid the past two games - I'll give him credit. You can say bad competition yes, but he's made some good saves and faced good chances against. I'm hoping this helps him get into a groove which we could use. He's just looking more confident out there, and yes the team is playing some tight defense lately.

 

[McFlash97]

Starting to worry if he can even get to 65 and 150. He looks frustrated out there last few games. Teams are really honing in on him every shift.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Campbell playing well, the defense isn't giving much and the bottom-6 is just winning their battle.

Kostin was excellent that period

We don't need upgrades

Why's fowler still on the ducks? They should be re building

Pretty sure his last name is the reason

 

[iCanada]

TNT just dropping S bombs willy nilly. Holy man.

 

[Vagabond]

Hopefully Soup shook off his mental issues and will now be the goalie we initially thought we signed. Going into the playoffs with 2 hot goaltenders is a massive blessing.

 

[McDrai]

Caroline Cameron with the neck hickey attire. I wonder who the lucky guy is…

whoever came up with that shit avoided the axe because they sat on the handle n lost it

Is this about those wretched chips?

 

[snag]

make up your f***ing mind on the Oilers chunky.

You're so spoiled. He can't rip the roof off the place every night. Consider yourself lucky the best 2 players in the game are on the team you cheer for.

Wait what. Oh...I get it

I actually thought they keep some of the proceeds directly. If you look at a lot of charities, large portions of the money they collect goes towards “overhead” - I recall there were a few community foundations in the NHL specifically that took huge cuts and only donated small amounts. Blanking on which teams those were but there was reporting done on it IIRC.

No doubt there are many reasons that companies engage in CSR, but the push for 50/50 advertising seems much more pronounced as of late. Clearly a shift in strategy that has me more skeptical than anything.

I don't think they keep any proceeds. It would likely violate the Gaming licensing. 50-50 sellers are usually volunteer and not paid staff so no cost there. They leverage their marketing channels and relationships like Sportsnet to promote. Would have invested money and staff time likely to build out the e-commerce purchasing vehicle but that probably isn't crazy money.

Not all 'overhead' is created equal. Have to look at each charity to assess their operations and expenses. If the organization is in capital campaign mode for example their overhead is likely higher. Important to look at the impact/results being created against the expenses involved to raise philanthropic dollars. NHL team foundations are predominantly about reputation enhancement and often aren't very efficient (I think the Flamers one has been cited). They wouldn't be keeping donated dollars for their corporate bottom line. CRA would be all over that and provincial lottery licenses would be pulled ... despite the halo effect sports big businesses hold in the public.

It's cheap PR for the Oilers to tell their impact stories during broadcast. Sadly it's often better than the intermission analysis that Sportsnet pushes out.

No but it would apply to the chips as well lol
