Optimistic sort. Fly-fishing apologist. Blocked writer. Bibliomaniac. Stock Market. Abstract landscape photography. Proud of a kinder, gentler 🇨🇦.

@ryanwhitney6 Oilers fan since 1973 WHA days…this is an all time low.
Seriously, I’d rather YOU coach the team.

“Bad fortune for the Mariners here in the 4th…” #Mariners

[Jeff Hamilton @jeff8ham]

@MarinersTruther 100% agree. Wilson gets far too cute far too often.

[Jeff Hamilton @jeff8ham]

@dstaples 2 even strength pts, 2 hits, & -7 in 13 playoff games - at $5M. Now -20 in 69 career playoff games. Oilers moved on from McLeod for a reason.
Savoie didn’t shoot the lights out either in his first playoffs, but gotta like his upside as he continues to improve, @ $875K.

[Jeff Hamilton @jeff8ham]

@dstaples @MurphysLaw74 I’m probably giving Kelly McCrimmon too much credit here, but if the Knights were to win the cup, would Cassidy receive his playoff cut/bonuses and possibly a ring, since he’s still an active employee? It’ll be interesting to see if he’s allowed to talk after they are eliminated.

[Jeff Hamilton @jeff8ham]

@frank_seravalli @GoldenKnights I assume if he was hired by the Oilers, it would allow the @GoldenKnights to terminate his remaining $4.5M contract?
Another Kelly McCrimmon masterclass in pettiness and treating people like garbage.

@BBGreatMoments Felix at his best was better than Hamels at his best.

[Jeff Hamilton @jeff8ham]

@jasondemers5 I know we can’t rely solely on the “eye-test”, but there was a game against the Islanders earlier this season that made me want to gouge mine out. Worst I’ve ever seen. But an outstanding player most nights.

[Jeff Hamilton @jeff8ham]

@BBGreatMoments How many catchers EVER have had 150 HRs over a 4 year period?

[Jeff Hamilton @jeff8ham]

@dstaples @KurtLeavins @edmontonjournal Was the main reason Jeff Jackson was brought in was because he was friends/agent with McDavid? If so, I’m not sure we can consider only a 2 year extension to be a highly successful outcome of that. Not to mention the other roster moves.

[Jeff Hamilton @jeff8ham]

@dstaples @TheCultofHockey @edmontonjournal Dach, Savoie, Podkolzin, Statsney, Emberson, and Howard represent a remarkable group of young players not drafted by the Oilers who are helping the team win now. Good work by Bowman.

@JoeSquawk You should leave CNBC and join Fox, where their hosts typically talk over their guests when they voice an opinion they disagree with. Highly unprofessional.

[Jeff Hamilton @jeff8ham]

@ScottWapnerCNBC Voted Netflix too, but funny how the average analyst target price for DIS is $132 while NFLX is only $115. 🤷‍♂️

@EdmontonOilers So…about that Hart trophy…
#statementgame

[Seattle Mariners @Mariners]

Had to bring back a classic.

[Jeff Hamilton @jeff8ham]

@Bob_Stauffer @RussJerichoArt @EdmontonOilers And all those results at even strength to boot. After the Canucks traded him I got mocked for suggesting he could become another Valeri Nichushkin. Obviously not the exact same player, but you can see his confidence building every single game.

[Jeff Hamilton @jeff8ham]

@MLB @WBCBaseball This is a wild flex. USA is and should be a massive favourite in this game.
A loss to Canada would be a hilarious embarrassment.
The real pressure on the US team is not to choke!

[Jeff Hamilton @jeff8ham]

@NHL @Kalshi McDavid fatigue showing once again.
The undisputed “Greatest Player in the World” continues to put up the best numbers, & will once again drag his team deep into the playoffs. But yeah, not even a finalist.

[Jeff Hamilton @jeff8ham]

@ProducerDrew_ I notice St Albert born 6’4” Dach has 189 hits in 53 games this season. He absolutely could become a crowd favorite in no time. Probably while he’s pounding on Tkachuk when the Panthers visit in a couple of weeks.

[Jeff Hamilton @jeff8ham]

@KurtLeavins I notice St Albert born 6’4” Dach has 189 hits in 53 games this season. He absolutely could become a crowd favorite in no time, bring on the Panthers!

[Jeff Hamilton @jeff8ham]

@KurtLeavins I like this. Sure, Ryan O’Reilly would have been nice. 😜 But Dickinson is an upgrade over Janmark, and Dach is a very intriguing prospect. Ridding us of Mangiapane’s contract next year is an underrated benefit here.
