Jeff Petry aka The Best Defenseman on the Team is a healthy scratch tonight. Because Oilers.

Sorry buc.

The Sixers are my NBA team. I don't know what I did to deserve this. I'm like a parent, and my sports teams are my four kids. The Buccaneers are methheads living in the basement doing their damnedest to set the house ablaze. The Oilers are out getting caught underage drinking every other night. The Sixers are unemployed layabouts whose long-term plan for success is hitting the lottery (NOTE: THIS IS THE ACTUAL PHILADELPHIA 76ERS STRATEGY). The Angels were my honor students. Straight As most of the year, then when final exams came, they decided to take a few bong rips the morning of the exams and completely blew them off.

Well...um...it's still a better start than the Bucs had on Sunday.

I have no idea why I watch sports anymore.

No Eberle, no Nugent-Hopkins and Jeff Petry is a healthy scratch because that's what you do with your best defenseman, I guess. Enjoy the show, gentlemen.

Turn the cannons around, sink the ship.

A team going to the WS after not even playing post season baseball since 1985 is far from meaningless.

I'd be surprised if Nurse isn't withYakimov in Oklahoma City before game 9. You're absolutely right though- Yakimov at C and Nurse at D will definitely add some much needed size to the lineup.
Apparently both Nugent-Hopkins and Yakupov put ten pounds on during the offseason so at least the problem is being recognized. I assume the issue of burning the first year of entry level contracts won't be happening anymore either which is why I can see Nurse being sent back if the Oil get off to a rough start.

Eric Aybar is so underappreciated.
 
Trade him, and you will have a hole at shortstop for years, and wish he was back

we shouldn't trade either of them

Mike Trout approves
 

Bonino looked pretty good for Vancouver against the Oilers. Gonna miss that guy in a Ducks sweater
 
 
 
As for the Oilers...I'm really liking this Yakimov guy. Big, with some obvious hockey sense and puck skills. Him and Nurse may be able to add some size that the Oil are lacking

OILERS SEASON PREVIEW
-They'll be awful defensively again.
-Scrivens will steal a few games.
-Poor Taylor Hall will cement his status as an elite wing all while having his spirit slowly broken playing for this clownshow.
Paid for my NHL GameCenter Saturday night, let's get Oilers Death March 9.0 started baby!
*END PREVIEW*

Season over...
 

If I were a player I'd use the Viagra guitar theme as my at bat music with hopes it would trigger a Pavlovian response from the women in attendance.

A Spiezio 3-run shot puts us right back in the game.

So if Santiago sucks what do we complain about? That Rasmus didn't start? I need a heads up

Vernon WeNo....no I can't go that far.

my favorite quote:
"we didn't block, but we made up for it by not tackling."
