Imagine #Oilers just picked Michael DiPietro and Nico Daws up off waivers to begin the season and didn’t go with Pickard for the 3rd straight year.

…Maybe more?

There isn’t a single #WorldJuniors eligible player from any other country in the NHL.

[Rob Couch @RobCouch555]

Perfect except they could’ve at least invited Kuemper and Thompson in net.

[Jason Gregor @JasonGregor]

Canada will host an off-ice orientation camp in late August for the 2026 Olympic team.

@PaultheBrit45 He needs to work on faceoffs, so I think they’ll both see time.

[Rob Couch @RobCouch555]

As of now, #LetsGoOilers should look like:

Nuge - McDavid - Hyman
Podkolzin - Drai - Savoie
Frederic - Henrique - Kapanen
Janmark - Tomasek - Philp
Hamblin

Ekholm - Bouch
Walman - Kulak
Nurse - Stecher
Emberson

Skinner
Pickard

Would like Mangiapane, Hart, and leftover money for mid-season upgrades. Would also keep an eye on Silovs. He’s getting moved.

[kailermemeamoto @KailerMemeamoto]

feel like a lot of people need to see this

[Mike Bartner @MikeBartner]

$6.1M in Florida is the equivalent of $11.5M in Toronto btw.

They were able to give Ekblad William Nylander money bc no state income tax. 😳😧

[Rob Couch @RobCouch555]

“Low-state tax doesn’t matter.” Bettman just lies through his teeth. When a low-state tax team is competitive, there’s a massive advantage. FLA, TB, VGK, DAL.

[Elliotte Friedman @FriedgeHNIC]

Sounds like this is going to be around 8 x $6.1M-ish

[Rob Couch @RobCouch555]

Weird. One team has 3 playoff wins in the past 3 years. The other has won 7 rounds in that time. The usual hate from below. #LetsGoOilers

[St. Louis Blues @StLouisBlues]

Joel Hofer won't be subject to offer sheets after signing a two-year contract extension worth $6.8 million ($3.4 million AAV). #stlblues https://t.co/HtKzszk5wM

[Mike Bartner @MikeBartner]

Fun fact that’s the equivalent of $13.5M in Toronto.

[Dyl @dhockey13]

Vegas did it with Stone, Florida did it with Tkachuk, but when a Canadian team does it it’s all of a sudden a problem lmao sick league. Go fuck yourself NHL.

[Rob Couch @RobCouch555]

USA chants? I wonder if their brains can comprehend who makes up their team. Panthers’ MPVs include 3 Canadians and a Russian. Maybe a Fin.

[Rob Couch @RobCouch555]

Let’s remember Ekblad got a 20 game suspension at the perfect time for Florida so that his cap space could come off the books from right before the trade deadline until the playoffs. That’s how they have Marchand and Jones. Broken system.

[Rob Couch @RobCouch555]

No trip on McDavid. Pathetic at their jobs. #LetsGoOilers

[Rob Couch @RobCouch555]

I wonder if the refs know they miss blatant calls and just don’t care or go along being in control of outcomes in the top hockey league while doing a terrible job without a care. #LetsGoOilers

[Gino Hard @GinoHard_]

Kulikov caught Podkolzin with a high stick, but there was no call 🤐

[Gino Hard @GinoHard_]

Evan Bouchard took a hit from Carter Verhaeghe and after some conversation, officials decided there was no call on the play

[Rob Couch @RobCouch555]

And the refs follow it up with an Oilers penalty. #LetsGoOilers

[Rob Couch @RobCouch555]

Jumping hit to the head from behind into the boards. No call. Panthers are allowed to do what they want. #LetsGoOilers
