Hold up, looks like some oatmeal cookie mix in there, I may have to grab that.

Upright Piano!!! It has "Ben Tooned." I can only assume that Ben Tooned is a pianist that is included with the piano.

That was way more fun than I expected.

The Nhl should rush to pass a change to the Draft rules. No way should the Oilers be allowed another 1st overall this year.

I agree. I was actually embarrassed when they won the lottery last year because the Lowe/MacTavish regime did nothing to deserve that lottery win. Fortunately they were quickly disposed of by Bob Nicholson but yeah... another no. 1 pick would be ridiculous. I often wonder how Hall, Nugent-Hopkins and Yakupov would've fared on other teams. Hall would be an absolute superstar anywhere else.

I mean look at what getting away from the Oilers in just the past four years did for guys like Andrew Cogliano, Tom Gilbert, Jeff Petry, Devan Dubnyk.... alright I have to stop before I set myself on fire.

The Sixers have just set a record for the longest losing streak in the history of the four major American professional sports leagues. 27 straight losses, which surpasses the 1976-1977 Tampa Bay Buccaneers 0-26 franchise start. YAY, SPORTS. I need a new hobby.

I'd rather see them try to move Eberle but yeah Draisaitl's name has been mentioned as a potential trade chip.

McDavid left tonight's game in the 2nd with a shoulder injury. His arm is in a sling. Well, that was a fun couple weeks. I guess I'll have that Montreal win to look back fondly on...

Nuge with the beautiful feed off a Hall chip in to Draisaitl for the game winner! I ran around my apartment like it was Game 7 of the Final! I love Hall. I love McDavid. I love Talbot. I love Nuge. I love Yak. I love Nurse. I love Davidson. I love Pouliot. I love Lander. I love Klefbom. I love this team. I love hockey and all of you who let me rant like an idiot in my own little thread here and stop by to talk about the Edmonton Oilers. This isn't a playoff team but that's ok! Hockey is fun again 😊

Down 3-0 after the 1st period, Draisaitl gets his first goal on a deflection in his first game this season, McDavid with two assists... I'm on the edge of my couch watching this team for the first time since 2006!

He looks incredible even just compared to the first two or three games. So smooth, fast and effortless. He's taking more shots and is clearly gaining confidence by the shift. I love watching him and Yakupov together.

TORTS!!!!!!!

 

So stoked he's got a job again. Love this crazy bastard!

Same. Would love to see him and Patrick Roy go at each other on the bench during a Jackets/Avs game. Torts owns.

I am so very sorry, Connor McDavid.

I am so very sorry, Auston Matthews.

Man, the Yankees losing in the playoffs never gets old. I mean, NEVER gets old. I listened to the 9th on the WFAN Yankees radio feed. Somehow managed to keep my pants on.

Between Draisaitl, Nikitin and Scrivens, the Bakersfield Condors should be pretty solid in the AHL.

Anyway, Thursday my boys open up in St. Louis. Fourth line and depth at defense are still pretty brutal, but if Cam Talbot can be what he was with the Rangers (I know, it's not very likely), they might have the start of something here. Sekera and Gryba are nice additions and it would be nice if Justin Schultz' camp and preseason carries over and he FINALLY isn't a freaking road cone on skates out there. All I really want is meaningful hockey to watch beyond January. And for McDavid to not get murdered out there.

Within two years I hope to be able to start a new Oilers thread. Here's to a new season of hope!

Next season the Oilers will open a new arena. This will be the final season for the Northlands Coliseum/Rexall Place.

What a great video. It looks like Harper says "Let's go!" Papelbon does and luckily for Harper they get pulled apart before Papelbon tears his head clean off his shoulders.

Yes he... sure is. I'm about to say something I haven't said in ten years. Is it time for Oilers hockey yet?

Lamoriello resigned from the Devils organization this morning and has been named GM of the Leafs.

He'll still probably be a better CB than Leonard Johnson.

I was extremely saddened to read about this. I started following motor sports in 1988 when I was 7 years old, so I only saw Buddy Baker race a couple Daytona 500's and the occasional superspeedway race. However, he was always my favorite color commentator and the CBS Sports announcing team of Buddy, Mike Joy, and host Ken Squier is in my opinion the best team NASCAR has ever had.

Connor McDavid signs his ELC.

Nucks are not gonna be good. To think a couple years ago they had both Luongo and Schneider and former GM Mike Gillis managed to trade the wrong goalie first (Schneids) when everyone KNEW Luongo wanted to go back to Florida.

I like Peter Chiarelli. I was disappointed to see Boyd Gordon moved last night but I saw why they did that when they announced the Mark Letestu signing. This front office competence... I could get used to it.

The NHL's expansion fee is substantially more than the relocation fee. Bettman has done everything to keep that franchise in Phoenix. Also consider that Auston Matthews, the likely no.1 prospect going into next season is from Scottsdale, AZ. Perhaps they see this thing through and hope the ping pong balls bounce right.

I hate flying and sometimes pop a xanax before getting on a plane. But I am oddly fascinated with the history behind jet crashes.

I absolutely love flying but I do have that same morbid fascination with aviation crashes. I often do research on crashes and then spend hours looking at pics of the plane when it was intact, etc. I also love reading about the history of airlines and which companies have merged, the whys and hows. I have no knowledge of the ins and outs of the technical side of planes but I greatly enjoy looking at all aircraft whether it's actual aircraft or simply pictures.

My favorite livery was the blue and green Air Florida scheme. I have a 1953 Piper Tri-Pacer in a traditional tattoo styling as part of my sleeve and had it done in a blue and green scheme as a nod to that livery.

I drink out of a Piedmont Airlines mug at work. Ok, that's my story about liking aviation.

When will this team move to Carolina?

All the young talent in the world and can't produce.

It's... it's a matter of time... no, really THIS IS THE TIME. Rebuild 3.0!

Apparently Mike Babcock has been given permission to talk to other teams. Give him a call, BucBrett.

My buddy is a Blues fan and suggested this trade: Blues send Oshie and Pietrangelo to the Oilers for the first pick. Would you consider it?

Absolutely not. With all the changes made this offseason there's zero chance of them trading that pick. The season ticket package the organization sent out is the Oiler logo on a draft lottery style golden ticket, and Todd McLellan is already discussing coaching McDavid so the Oilers pretty much consider McDavid an Oiler already.
