If anything, it should show you that anything can happen once your team gets in. Even a poor regular season team with a washed up goalie dealing with shit can get hot for a dozen or so games.
Regardless of what you say, you're not going to sell me in how amazing he is based on a handful of playoff games. I've watched him give up the same types of goals Mikko Koskinen does with frequency and I've watched us dummy him for years. Elite Price is five years removed. Montreal can keep that albatross.
Anything can happen if you have top end goaltending.
That's not really news, Oiler fans found that out in 2006.

Hall was a complete pos off the ice but people wanted him back here for years.

I enjoy how it went from the big break is a great time to make a move to wait and see how we do after the break.
WTF are you talking about? He was talking about what was said on Marek’s show. He didn’t break any news. There are a few folks on twitter now having discussions on it.

I used to work at a night club the Oilers used to go to during the HOPE years and have friends in the industry. Lots of things I won’t post on here. Plus there’s the rumors that a lot of people have already heard.

I wasn’t worked up. I’m glad you went out and protected your lord and saviour - Ken Holland
What the f*** is your problem? I’ve done nothing but hate on Holland the last 3-4 weeks. Is this all you do? Try to start arguments?
Ok, ok….in what neighborhood did Hall build the house?
I don't really tend to buy a lot of this stuff because what's the point even of keeping it a secret at this point?
Hall is not on the Oilers and likely never will be again, so who cares. If you have an interesting story to share, then share it.
That's what she saidSo instead of taking 1 minute to finish it takes you 58 seconds.
Proven top end goalies tend to have a way of bouncing back from some down years, Sergei Bobrovsky has had 2 bad years, and even that last year in Columbus was only .913 which isn't spectacular. So three straight sorta sub-par regular seasons by his standard.
But he's back to .921 this year. And he's only a year younger than Price.
Even MAF, two down years in Vegas after his great first year (.927 first year in Vegas, down a lot to .913 and then down further to .905) and then suddenly rockets back and wins the Vezina at age 37 with a .928 season. Ya think the Knights going to trade for Lehner didn't light a bit of a fire under his ass?
Smith also didn't look so hot in Calgary (putrid .898 save percentage) the year before he came here, but he basically found another wind in Edmonton and gave the team a couple of good years, unfortunately it looks like Holland's luck on that has run out.
Who knows too how much the addiction issues hindered Price the last few years as well, if he's clean and straight now, that could also get him back to being a .920 regular season goalie awfully quick.

I met him multiple times on white ave, friend was an octane girl. Never had a problem with him. I never understand any of these rumors.
lol the non-Edmonton media is starting to dump on Holland big time

Everyone “knows a guy who knows a guy who says Hall was rude”. No one can ever provide any details when pressed. The pattern has gone from shocking to ridiculous to sad to hilarious to status quo. It just is what it is, as McD would say.

I mean....it wasn't like he was going around shaking everyone's hands and signing/kissing babies. He just seemed like a guy who wanted to go to the bar with friends/teammates without being harassed.
Who even really cares if he was rude sometimes. I don't think a famous person has to be nice 24/7.
If they want to be "on" all the time, sure great, but if they don't want to do that, that's also not like the end of the world.
