I thought that even the team was high on Will Smith, was that just fans wishful thinking based on the name?

Does anyone thing Jones will care or change how he operates? His entire persona is **** the rules, I do what I want!

Yes actually. Guy has done a good job taking on the top matchup and coming out ahead. The lack of points is more a case of just not having chances go in because that line probably has the most zone time of any for the Oilers at 5 on 5. Also, he might be 6'1 but he's still skinny so when Noeller calls him a big kid it's not really true, he's slighter than a lot of guys, but still has a bit of an edge to his game. Not ever going to be a bit hitter or a physical threat but he's willing to stick his nose in the greasy areas.

and at the end of the game Kassian gave Kessler a little whack just to let him know he was there and a scrum starts and Getzlaf comes in but as soon as a bigger guy turns to him he's gone, then re-enters trying to be a big man to Sekera... yeah pick on the guy half your size who wouldn't fight if his life depended on it, but nowhere to be seen when there's a real challenge. I think it's safe to say the Oilers got into the Ducks heads that game. Ducks tried to intimidate them but it didn't work.

you don't get views by not having sensational sounding tweets.

It's good to play in the east, especially when Hamiltons QB is a walking band aid, the Als and Argos were in a race to the bottom.

The Oilers always encouraged their players to go if they were eliminated (har har, heard the jokes). They felt it was a good experience and Ryan Smyth as an example always said the goal was to play hockey in the spring so that was just another way to do it. Iginla was a loser for not going if you ask me, lots of years Canada coulda used him.

exactly. Jones doesn't want anything other than a bunch of yes men because Jones is going to do everything since no one else is on his level. The size of the staff is likely simply to have plenty of bodies to throw under the bus.

more like this: Noeller is just a sci-fi hater.

I giggled like a school girl waiting to see the reactions on this site when both Joe Mack and Brendan Taman made the top 5 drafts.

Could be worse... I took Murray thinking the penguins would do something then he gets hurt in the warmups and Fleury took his jorb

I all of a sudden regret picking chicago to win....

Plus it would be a shame if those chops Kassian is growing got shown out before they really became something special.

definitely public domain, as to the reasons why WB is making one it's simple, there's money to be had.

I did, but then again I ain't a Flames fan so I don't buy the crap the media sells about that team being actually good. The only reason they did anything was when their goalies went on crazy hot streaks, less than insane level goal tending that team had a shitty record. Plus their record vs. playoff teams was poor, they feasted on crappy teams in the regular season. Total playoff pretender and not a surprise the Ducks dispatched them without much effort.

My favourite was a rider fan friend of Noellers trying to explain to me while we were drinking that Nealon Greene was just as good as Khari Jones.

Well he is in the rider echo chamber so I would believe the names he hears are rider related names

I dunno, might improve the reffing in the CFL if he's not running that department...

I for one blame Iso

Hey who won the regular season pool? Been meaning to ask that....

Here we go with the mind reading again. Hated Iron Man 3 and not because they did the swerve with the mandarin, but because the movie felt unlike Iron Man. Tony is a whiny ***** and his suits don't work? Poppycock!

Thor 2 was weak and no one will call Thor a masterpiece but I thought it was enjoyable. This one caught me off guard with how light the trailer was. Just did not expect that.

Oilers are 3-1-1 against the Sharks this season AND Joe Thornton is on one leg and Logan Couture got his ugly face all messed up, plus the Oilers finished ahead of the Sharks this season... So possibly without their 2 best centres or maybe they play and aren't 100% you don't think the Oilers can beat the Sharks? Come on, let's think about this logically. There is no one in the west that the Oilers can't beat, they were great against the west all year. Doesn't mean they will win, but they're not some underdog coming into the playoffs.

The fact that they've been working behind the scenes to find a new GM since January is really something. Hervey might be an ******* but so are the guys who jammed all those knives in his back. That team did well under him and they just threw him under the bus. So glad that there's no circus in Winnipeg anymore.
