He Who Has A Why To Live Can Bear Almost Any How

So 8 decided she wanted to give her dad a tattoo yesterday. Sunshine and a single rose for a snowy December day. Then of course she needed a flower to match.

@JonathanWillis It’s also about the matchups and depth. It overlooked how the small(ish) high-skill forwards of Carolina made Vegas’ D look slow. the ‘24 Oilers beat Hughes to shit. big, fast forwards ran him every shift. Depth and variety of skill sets.

[Spamaroo @csim70]

@bcurlock Carolina is also 11 million under the cap. 20 of 23 under contract going into next season with only Anderson and Nikishin to sign to bring back the same group.

@Lowetide So if they do things for reasons other than winning, what are they?

[Spamaroo @csim70]

@nielsonTSN1260 @PlayAlbertaCA @iHeartRadio @tunein The oilers have a toxic, wing nut jock sniffer of an owner. It’s just sad.

[Spamaroo @csim70]

@johnshewchuk @frank_nobilo I caught that too. The politest of backhands

[Spamaroo @csim70]

@oilingoal @Lowetide @JFreshHockey @PDOcast Kid’s a rookie in his first full season and playoff series. Folks need to pull their heads out of their ass. The talk on Savoie is the same stupid knee jerk shit that this org needs to avoid. Like moving on from Eberley. The kind of move that sets an organization back

[Spamaroo @csim70]

@Sportsnet @SportsnetSpec “Carey Price defense in front of Mikko Koskinen goaltending” is apt. Even with Price the Habs got to the big dance only once. This team lacks discipline to not take bad penalties and manage the puck. Really makes one question the hockey IQ of some of the core.

[Spamaroo @csim70]

@EdmOilerlytics Given what gong show the entire team was defensively and that the M NTC kicks in a year, they won’t be able to move him because he won’t agree to be moved in the next 12 months. He’ll use it as a show me opportunity.

[Spamaroo @csim70]

@KevinMcCurdy And the benefits of directing the puck to the net and looking for bounces and deflections.

[Spamaroo @csim70]

@jus_tinb94 @nielsonTSN1260 Vegas never fired a GM. McPhee there since day 1. McKrimmon was promoted to GM from Assistant GM while McPhee stayed as President of HO in ‘18 as a retention strategy when Edm was sniffing around him. They have had few HC than Edm since ‘17

@dstaples @edmontonjournal There is not enough good to offset the bad hence why the team has gotten progressively the last two years and the future is bleak. I haven’t even touched on the old boys club BS that saw Zito ditched for Holland…

[Spamaroo @csim70]

@dstaples @edmontonjournal He’s right. The scouting acumen, trades, contracts were self inflicted. Reinhart, Eberley, Lucic, Campbell, Puljujarvi, Fayne, Gryba, Nurse, Frederic, Aberg, kassian, Spooner, Stolarz, Forsberg, Athanasiou, Green, etc has bled talent, picks and cap space for negative returns.

[Spamaroo @csim70]

@dstaples @jimmathesonnhl No one wins a 97 trade. As pointed out by @dstaples, a team would have to give up real assets that reduces their ceiling while Edmonton takes a huge step backwards plus it may fracture the relationship with 29. No team pays a kings ransom and contends still. Think 99 trade

[Spamaroo @csim70]

@dottosen @FriedgeHNIC Bowman isn’t going anywhere after 2 years and will get one coach change before he’s canned. Neither is Knob with that 3 yr extension.

[Spamaroo @csim70]

@shaynagoldman_ I wouldn’t count on it…

[Spamaroo @csim70]

@SportsnetSpec The average age of the Oilers is over 29, Ducks under 28. Curious what the top six gap is. Speed (and youth) kills.

[Spamaroo @csim70]

@bigmouthsports @Bob_Stauffer How many times have we heard that…

[Spamaroo @csim70]

@MorganLaidler Unfortunately, Katz isn’t going to that three year extension as charity. He’ll be back but I suspect he’ll be the only one.

[Spamaroo @csim70]

Ingram battles. He’s NOT the problem in this series. If the team in front of him showed as much heart this series wouldn’t be flipped on its head. Now get a coach with some snarl. Coach Q looks like he’s eating raw meat even when the ducks lead. Get us some of that.
