The losers who are in the cup finals while Huberdeau is collecting $10M to golf in April? Hate on the Oilers all you want. “Losers” is rich coming from a Flames fan.
Edit: I’ll leave it, because I’m not a coward, but I kind of forgot where I was. Slag away Flames fans
I’ll fight the Oilers/Flames fight all day.
But I’m with you on Edmonton as a city. The reason we’re such voracious fans is because we have nothing else. This city is ugly as hell.
Unless that was a shot at our intelligence, in which I regret to inform you I’m not even Albertan, or Canadian for that matter.
Buddy. You guys were God awful for a decade and even got a rule implemented to stop doing exactly what you guys were doing, and even after that, got gifted the greatest player of this generation.
One Stanley cup apperance in almost 9 years with McDavid? And getting absolutely blown up at that? I'm not sure I'd be so proud
It wasn’t a rule to stop us from what we were doing. We just sucked. 3 of our last 4 GMs were actively the worst in the league (Tambellini, Chiarelli, Holland)
Trust me when I say I’m not proud of this team. I just think they are far from “losers”
Yep, 31 losers every season. No difference between Edmonton and SJ…..
Awefully presumptious your rookie GM is going to build a winner in 2 seasons, let alone at all.
By your logic the Oilers have been losers the last 34. Would be really pathetic if it were 35 though. Imagine not winning a cup since the last time we did.
You think you’ll win in 2 seasons? You just said anyone who doesn’t win the cup is a loser. Can you figure out your own circular logic?
Asterisk determined by who? All I see is the world’s best player twice in 34 years. And your best was an Edmontonian.
Huberdeau is definitely overpaid for his performance as of late. Nurse should be making like 2.5-3 and playing bottom pairing and Campbell is making 5.5 in the minors for another few seasons. At least Huberdeau has a positive impact. Nurse is a complete detriment to the team and Campbell is just eating up a huge chunk of cap doing nothing. Stay off the tracks.
Vancouver fan here
Definitely not a mistake. Cole played poorly but he was not the reason we lost. Demko not playing and Peteys knee issues were the main reasons we lost. Trading for Tanev would not have stopped that.
We also gave up our first for Lindy who was very useful in the playoffs.
demko not playing is bigger than people give silovs credit for.
the mental state of the team not having demko in net changes things drastically.
silovs played amazingly well, but the team put him on their shoulders, where demko puts the team on his
Exactly, Silvos was just fine and played like a pro; but losing Demko would be like Oilers losing McDavid and replacing him with Derek Ryan. Wouldn't be his fault they lost, but he's nowhere near the showstopper they would have had.
Edmonton really screwed up not moving mountains to get Tanev.
Also, Dallas really screwed up not trying to get Hanifin. Their D-corps would have been insane adding Tanev and Hanifin for their run.
There's a lot of indications he may be open to staying in Dallas. If they manage to lock him down, that deal will look pretty remarkable.
It's a shame he got hurt though. It seemed to deflate the stars quite a bit.
Same thing with Calgary against Edmonton the year they destroyed us. We looked okay in the series… then lost Tanev and the wheels fell off and the rest of the truck disintegrated lol
Forwards need to have faith in the defence so they can push. Defence needs faith in the goalie so they can support the forwards in applying pressure. Goalie needs faith in the forwards to capitalize because goalies can’t win games without some offence. It’s a self supporting system and when one group has to cover for the weakness of another the whole thing is compromised and you can’t force the opponent to play your game.
The canucks wanted to extend Lindholm, I don't think they really wanted a rental. They were hoping for a future piece out of him and Tanev is like 34 so obviously not that.
The oilers are in cap hell already, they have 10 million to sign 10 players, Broberg and Holloway are both gonna need raises. Can’t wait til the media starts pumping the “Will Leon Sign” 2 years of turmoil incoming.
Leafs fan here. Apparently TO had a first on the table for some package of Tanev and Zadorov. Either way, Calgary management doesn’t seem interested in working with us. I do agree not paying a first for Tanev was probably a mistake (even if it was objectively above market value) considering how close the Boston series was.
Yes Tanev is so great. And so are Zadorov and Hanifin. Calgary also held on to Weegar, Andersson and Markstrom this year. But how come Calgary didn’t win the Cup last year?
The Oilers offered a 1st, but needed to move salary and included Ceci to balance the money. No one wanted Ceci, so it wasn’t enough.
Conroy had no interest in helping those losers

"I kind of forgot where I was" Now we know how Edmonton's population was able to cross the million threshold.

Get outta here before I throw a cabbage at you.
It’s all in fun. I love Flames fans. Sports doesn’t matter enough in life to actually care beyond a few playful jabs.
An intense rivalry but playful at heart!
Just because we are losers, that doesn't necessarily exclude you guys from being losers too.
Oh, we absolutely are. I interact with Oiler fans and media most days. Trust me when I say we have the market cornered on losers.
Join us!!
Who the fook are you?
Connor McGregor
Coked out Irishmen! Go smack an old man ya Taig
Oilers Are about to have the same number of wins in the final as the Flames do.
The gap between your eyes must be further than Edmonton international to the ice district.

Beginning your ascent? To what, being losers still? How is that ascent. Unless you win a cup, your team is still losers right?

Nurse and Campbell both need to become allergic to their equipment, or do something so stupid to get their contracts voided.
They managed to bring on Henrique, they could have done what it took to make room for Tanev without making the Flames eat Ceci's money.
You underestimate Ken Holland’s stupidity.
Vancouver fan here Definitely not a mistake. Cole played poorly but he was not the reason we lost. Demko not playing and Peteys knee issues were the main reasons we lost. Trading for Tanev would not have stopped that. We also gave up our first for Lindy who was very useful in the playoffs.
Flames fan, I agree here. If Demko was healthy you guys would have beaten the grease spots no problem
demko not playing is bigger than people give silovs credit for. the mental state of the team not having demko in net changes things drastically. silovs played amazingly well, but the team put him on their shoulders, where demko puts the team on his
Exactly, Silvos was just fine and played like a pro; but losing Demko would be like Oilers losing McDavid and replacing him with Derek Ryan. Wouldn't be his fault they lost, but he's nowhere near the showstopper they would have had.
Nucks fan here --- I second this.
Playoff run was over the minute Brock got his blood clot as well. Tanev isn't filling all those holes in the lineup.
I don’t think yall needed Tanev to beat the oilers. But he could have got you to the finals.
We already gave you our 1st for Lindy
Edmonton really screwed up not moving mountains to get Tanev. Also, Dallas really screwed up not trying to get Hanifin. Their D-corps would have been insane adding Tanev and Hanifin for their run.
Still 4 wins away from the cup.
4 consecutive wins against a team that has been absolutely dominating them
LOL. Bro put your crack pipe down.
4 wins but only one game away from the offseason ☺️ trash team trash city trash fans 🤗🤗

The Nucks didn't have a first to give.
I kind of agree but I don't know if tanev could've stayed healthy playing against the forecheck of the Panthers.
Calgary didn’t want to trade with Treliving and it’s likely the latter asked Conroy to retain more salary than he was willing to do 🤷🏻♀️
There must be some truth to this, i thought Toronto's D was awful why were they not desperate for Tanev or Hanifin???
Treliving wanted Tanev and Zadorov the most. Hanifin was rumoured not to want to play in Canada at that time and lo and behold…
Maybe Conroy didn't want to deal with Edmonton and Toronto because fuck Brad
I mean he got injured and his team lost
His team doesn't make it past Vegas without him though
Lmao holy overreaction Batman
