Rumor: Rumors & Proposals Thread: The "Well, we're waiting!!!" Edition with a sprinkle of "Don't believe his lies."

Why not just call up Vinny.

He's apparently bedridden with the flu

Philp has been looking good in the 2nd half of the season (usually what you expect for a first year pro if they are going to stick). Lowetide was going on about him as well. I wouldn't be shocked to see him get an extension in the near future and a long look at camp as the 4C.

 

[gordonhught]

He's out sick.

He ordered the fish for the in-flight meal back to Edmonton from Montreal.

Rule 1. Never order the fish on an airplane.

Rule 2. Never order chili from a fast food chain

With both Campbell and Skinner in the bottom-7 in the NHL, only Florida is a worse shot blocking team than us

No Russell, no proplem right?....right?

To be fair it's gotta be harder to block a shot when you're running a fire drill.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Told you guys Vinny was actually still sick.

 

[North]

I know it’s not what we need but that’s not my point. My point is good players are already on the move.

Gavrikov won’t extend here, McCabe won’t come here and sounds like we’re out of the Chychrun runnings. Our options are already limited and make no mistake if Holland waits too long the players that move the needle will get scooped up. Then when all the smoke clears we’re sitting there with a number 6 D and a Brassard.

Well if that happens then yeah be upset but it hasn’t happened yet. No d men have moved yet.

My ex worked at one of those and the chili sat in a vat for dayyyyyys. ughhhhh

 

[Jumptheshark]

Why wouldn't he, if the prize is right and he gets a no-movement clause he likes?

I doubt he want to stay

8 of the top 10 teams in blocked shots/60 are currently out of the playoffs.

5 of the bottom 10 are in a playoff spot.

Doesn’t seem like there is any correlation between blocking lots of shots and being a good team.

what a debacle this whole situation is. Could be rectified easily but the old geriatric we employee is too busy having his early bird special at 4pm and hitting the sheets shortly after.

 

[brentashton]

Cam people shut up about crossing the board already, the restrictions were lifted 4 months ago FFS..

Non nationals entering the US still legally require to be vaccinated . They just don’t check. So no, this isn’t political or anything other than people asking and providing facts. Get informed.

2022-2023 Devin Shore highlights:

 

[TGOSnipes99]

What you are calling fanboys are actually analytically driven folks who realize that hockey is 200 foot game and many things happen from goal line to goal line. I like Jesse because he created time and space for his line mates allowing them to shot and score more than the opposition. On the defensive side he is good on the forecheck and limiting high danger chances again. He outscores the opposition and since he has returned from Finland has scored at an 18-20 goal pace (except this year where his role has changed). I also recognize his finishing is horrendous, but that gets less weight if he continues to generate chances for line mates.

I irrational hate boys see the last .5 seconds of a play and say Jesse sucks. Ideally, he plays with Leon. He will score more than Yamo while helping Leon keep the puck and get back on defense. Have Kane on the other side as the finisher.

And the guys who get orgasms over jp love status quo junk players. Just settle for that.. Nevermind trying to get somebody who can contribute more than Casper the ghost

I want somebody who can skate and actually play hockey without looking like a ten year old boy

Somebody who's temmattea don't have to talk to in the playoffs to up their intensity

For a great defensive player, isn't he the worst plus minus on this team

 

[Mikey71]

As it stands, unvaccinated Canadians are not allowed to enter the U.S.

This is true. I live in a border town in Ontario and just last weekend we were asked by US Customs if we were all vaccinated.

 

[Echodek]

Damn. Was hoping Shore was called up due to trade reasons. Turns out it’s just because of the incompetency of our management group to juggle our cap.

Other GMs use loopholes to win cups, KH uses loopholes to create shorthanded teams.

Lots of blocked shots usually means you are spending a lot of time in your own zone and often players with a high amount of blocks struggle getting the puck out.

Ok. Now I’m mad. Who in the organization put seafood on an airline menu? Doesn’t anyone think of refrigeration and food poisoning ? This f***ing org.

Proposal:

Puljujarvi extension 1.2M x 3yrs

Who says No?

Guarantees Pulju 3.6M... maybe some front loading or whatever to make trading him easier.

I really hope tomorrow is the last game Shore plays as an Oiler.

What is the point of that ? Can’t you make your own argument without the “guys who get orgasms” shit ? f*** this place used to be fun but civil.

I say no, you'd be overpaying PJ by about 550k/yr

The poster is on their third account as well, it would seem. Lol
