Draisaitl has no problem controlling his own line, despite what some of the media pundits and fans of other franchises tend to think.

Zack Kassian has played well on the wings of the Oilers two most talented players for the better half of last season, and picked up right where he left off last night.

But he can’t do anything without riding shotgun on a line with McDavid.. Right? Right?!

Considering Tampa actually like... wins hockey games and makes the playoffs frequently, I’d say that’s a bit of a stretch.

And on the seventh day God said... Fuck Chiarelli. 

HEY MAN, HAVE YOU LIKE... SEEN WHO HAS PLAYED FOR THE OILERS OVER THE COURSE OF THEIR HISTORY?

Liam Reddox and Zach Stortini would like to have words with you.

Okay, I believe you but my tommy gun don’t.

One Amari to avoid from a middle class Canadian:

Cooper. 

Your mom’s your dad. 

Damn, I thought I was the only weirdo on earth that did this.

It’s delicious!

(Don Cherry, please give John Olerud’s Helmet their account back.) 

A CBD vape (That may or may not have had a THC content) really helped with the chaos that was Disneyland when I visited last month.

Made the visit very enjoyable! 

I can’t respect your disdain for pineapple, as I am one of those whom love it on my pizza... but you get a thumbs up from me because, GO ESKIMOS. 

Fair enough, I live in the Okanagan so wine is abundant and decent and I don’t get out east often enough to make a fair pricing comparison.

That being said $9 USD for a glass was standard on a recent trip to California. 

I don’t know much about the regular price point at this restaurant in particular... But $9 CAD glasses of wine is some kind of deal? Is this good wine or of the house variety?

So outside of drafting, the one thing that Garth Snow did right was to have Peter Chiarelli on speed dial?

Tell me that this looks like the face of a man that would have strong, racist opinions on immigration policies or a border wall at all.

And Canadians drink the most Slurpees.

Slurpees and ice cream in -30 degree celsius weather is just commonplace up here.

No polar vortex (Aka winter) is stopping me from picking up my Royal Reese Blizzard.

What I took out of yesterday’s press conference is that Gretzky, as interim GM, has the ability to consult with Bob Nicholson in regards to any moves made for the remainder of this year.

As much as the draft pick and prospects were in play under Peter Chiarelli’s watch, it sounds like they’re completely off the table…

I’m sure if that article was re-written in 2019 and not a short two years into his career that Nail Yakupov’s stellar career of 350 GP 0.38 Points/PG Avg. and zero playoff appearance would easily crack the top five on that list.

I’m sure he’ll have a great remainder of his career in Russia however... 

Except Andersen is a stud and the Oilers have pumped out many good players that have gone on to have great careers elsewhere.
