No disrespect to that group, I believe this one is better.

My main memory of Greene for some reason is the rogue ice rut that broke his ankle in the first part of 2007-08. True story: https://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/oilers-lose-matt-greene-for-3-months-1.676200

I wonder if he gets traded that quickly if the injury doesn't happen.

My main memory is when he did a interview with Gene and abruptly took off like he just shat his pants.

Wasn’t Ryan Whitney also a victim to a rogue ice rut?

If Marchy licks one of our players I hope he gets sick too

Hopefully we win and this team gets compared to future oiler teams. No offense to 06, but it's been like 20 years. The game is different now.

Alberta is proudly rat free.

Border rat patrol staff might want to lock Marchand, Tkachuk, and Bennett up for the duration of their time here in the province.

Send some Oil out east and I will send you back a barrel of rats.

I think this is a testament to our very strong group of Dmen. I honestly don’t remember the last time we had such a strong group.

Yeah, its the best D corps we've ever had.

 

[Drivesaitl]

it's an oversimplification to say that these teams, these forwards "didn't play good". it takes away from the incredible shut down effort the oilers put in. they were shut down.

Its fair comment. Doesn't remove my point that the NHL is uncompetitive currently. which is a bit odd considering reverse order draft lotto and salary cap and that kind of thing.

Agreed...and it actually will be 20 years next season.

All I want is a Cup win to get closure and get the monkey off this franchise's back.

Yep, watching some clips against Carolina he did it to Anderson. Drove the net from the corner then just fell on him making sure to smack him in the head. It’s obvious what this clown does and if there is any whiff of it early on he needs to be tuned in. We have to match them physically all over the ice. Most of their supposed tough players are smaller guys. I’d love to see Podz throw down with Bennett. I think it would be a big surprise to him after catching a few.

I think he will bounce back to the ice if trying to hit Big Stu from behind......He must be weighting at least 200 Ibs lesser than Skinner..

As far as Florida injuries go I think they have a few.

Tkachuk is playing through something

Reinhart missed a game and is probably still hurt

Greer missed a couple games I think

Mikkola missed either a game or practice. I’d smash that f***er any chance they can get.

Luostiranen or whatever the f*** missed a game too.

Ekblad seems to get injured every season so hopefully they smash him too

Just spread som clearasil over them and the finns will be gone!
