We will continue to use we
I tend not to, I use we when refering to us fans. But not for the team, I always use the Oilers, as I have no involvement with the team. Really not much if anything I do or have ever done will effect the team.

When we use it is the term we the fans of the Oilers, nobody should have a problem with this no different than using it as we Canadians we Albertans we Edmontonians. Free speech is a staple and you're free to cancel yours but no one can cancel mineI tend not to, I use we when refering to us fans.

Why do CP posters keep comparing their Killington/Dube situations to Kane/Perry situations? They are completely different scenarios. They keep saying the Flames are some highly ethic moral team that allows their players to deal with mental issues while the Oilers are scum of the earth organization bringing in players like Kane and Perry. Do they really think that if any Oiler player wanted to take a mental leave of absence that the Oilers would deny that from happening or something? What a bunch of clowns on that site.
I don't know if you guys heard this, but I thought you might finf it interesting.
Fair enough. The part that I found the most compelling was that his actions were not so egregious that other teams would have terminated his contract, but that because this is Chicago with all the off ice issues that they've had to publicly deal with they felt that they had to show zero tolerance and drop the hammer on him. That does make sense to me and does make me feel better about bringing him in.I didn’t watch the video but read the coles notes on the main board. We will never really know what he did or didn’t do, 100%.
I just find the whole thing kinda bizarre. I imagine that there is a large percentage of hockey players and athletes in general that have alcohol and drug issues. This is the community/culture that makes fun of Hamilton because he likes to go to the library.
Its already been stated that he didn’t do anything illegal. Bettman who obviously knows the full story was ok with him signing a new contract hours after it being terminated.
Its not to say some issues aren’t important, but the fact that it wasn’t illegal and we will never know the 100% truth, its pretty much a waste of time to discuss it.

Dont feel bad for Perry. In every way possible this really couldnt have worked out better for him.Wow. Finally it’s been revealed. So essentially it was more a Chicago issue than a Perry issue. I won’t call it a nothing burger but it’s very close to.
This matches the NHLPA and NHL’s reaction which essentially boiled down to a Big MEH.
I would say the real scandal here is that due to Chicago having a dirty history they were allowed to just cancel a 4M contact out of thin air?
Honestly I feel bad for Perry here. The “crime” does not fit the punishment.

I find it highly dubious that the Blackhawks would get away with canceling a player's contract because he hit on a chick at a party, NHLPA would be all over that. Mike Richards got arrested with drugs at a border crossing and the Kings still had to pay him in a grievance suit, even the Sharks had to settle up with Kane, but they let the Perry situation go with nary a peep? Something more would have to be going on, maybe not in a sense Perry did something worse than what has been reported, but instead an agreement between player and team or the NHLPA behind the scenes or something.
It would be such a bad precedent if a team could cancel a guaranteed contract over something like this, teams would probably start hiring escorts and have them chase around overpaid players to dump their contracts if it were true.
Richards was caught with a prescribed drug that became an epidemic through lying, deceitful, illegal and unethical marketing practices. It is quite possible he was prescribed this highly addictive drug by team or teams health professionals. NHLPA grieved to resolve the matter as they absolutely should have given the catastrophic human damage and deaths caused by this drug. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/mike-richards-drug-charges-stayed-1.3462002I find it highly dubious that the Blackhawks would get away with canceling a player's contract because he hit on a chick at a party, NHLPA would be all over that.

Also, for shame on Leafs homer Nick Kypreos who tried to pass judgement on Holland and the entirety of Edmonton media for not digging into this more, even though Holland literally talked to everyone and anyone that actually knew what happened of which there wasn’t many. Only Kyle Davidson, Perry, Bettman, Daley, a couple of NBC employees knew about what happened, and Kypreos threw the entire Edmonton media and by proxy its fans under the bus. Apparently we don’t care, cause he plays hockey good, and we don’t care to know what actually happened. This is the Leaf’s propaganda network Sportsnet in its finest form. f*** Kypreos too and f*** the Hawks.
If you don’t know what I’m talking about, listen to all bullshit these 3 Leafs homers spewed about Holland, Edmontons Media, and the Edmonton market:

If Corey Perry was what you say, he probably isn't even in the league to begin with and he'd for sure not have gotten a 4mil contract with heavy bonusOnly cause he had the reputation to get another job on a contender, if this was just any typical bottom 6er they’d be losing their contract and ability to find a job in this league cause of the HAWKS own shitty reputation.

I doubt it. Corey Perry is in the room now and they won.You just know Perry will play Saturday and we finally lose a game and there will be a million questions about how he screwed up the locker room.
