If Connor, Leon and Zack believe in it.
Then so do I.
It's really that simple.
I cheer for the players... and I cheer for their choices.
And just like my kids... I truly hope they got it right...
I know I drink the @EdmontonOilers kool-Aid.
But that Ekholm contract is an outrageously good deal as well.
I love where all of this is going.
The boys are 'all in' together on winning.
I know they love the fans, but I'm just fine if they love each other even more.
I went on a long quiet walk this morning. Early sun shining through the smoky and misty air.
I had an overwhelming sense that McDavid was going to sign a long term deal.
And the Oilers would win the Stanley cup this season.
Just putting that feeling out into the universe
@SportsnetSpec hey bud. Long time no see.
Question: Can a team offer a such a massive upfront bonus on an 8 y/AAV - That the interest would then (quietly) cover a lower average AAV signing?
50M becomes 75M in 8 years.
Is that a factor?
Im sure the speedy customs team, and baggage handlers at @yeg airport will have Florida through and on their way .... sometime by tomorrow AM.
@EdmontonOilers
Didn't like the result, but I will say the @FlaPanthers fans were the friendliest most welcoming people we've ever come across in our many travels following the @EdmontonOilers.
Walking through Montreal airport in Oilers gear - all we got was, 'let's go Oilers!' And lots of positive support!
A man ran up to me, 'Oilers in Six, guaranteed!'
I know there's haters out there - but also lots of support from fellow Canadians.

Off to Florida.
Look for a handsome devil in a ridiculous creamsicle Oilers suit. Lana will be rocking the Orange Fedora
I'll represent the fans and city with unbridled enthusiasm and class.
Are people meeting up? Where?
#edmontonoilers#oilersnation#letsgooilers
If someone would have told me after 20 games that we'd be fighting for our lives late in the second round, I would have taken it in a split second.
Let's go boys. No handshakes tomorrow.
@EdmontonOilers
One of my favorite responses in 2006 was edmonton fans enthusiastically singing the American national anthem after they booed O'Canada in San Jose.
Let's be better than Vancouver. On the ice, in the arena, and in the streets. @EdmontonOilers
I'm really disappointed to hear the Coyotes are moving from Phoenix.
A huge part of why we chose to buy in AZ, and the last 15 years - off and on here - was rooted by the ability to see the Oilers play.
I Feel terrible for the fans, there were more of them than it seemed...
