I can't wait for the scene in Moneypuck where Michael Cera, as Eric Tulsky, walks up to Taylor Hall in the dressing room.and tells like Zac Efron's Hall that he's an aging vet just trying to milk the last ounce of puck he has.
Then fires a HockeyGuy ™ scout and hires Unc Dennis

Carolina is the best run org in sports. They've made clever bet after clever bet, they've been able to identify value when no one else could. They don't panic and make dumb trades.
This was well earned and great validation for the org.

Also congrats to Dellow and Uncle Dennis. Great to see Edmonton's most poorly managed assets succeed.

Taylor Hall since 2016: Hart Trophy, Stanley Cup
Edmonton Oilers: 4 seasons of okay Larsson.
What a silly silly trade.
Congratulations Hall, you deserve it.

In the discourse over the movie The Odyssey, there are a few interesting things to notice:
1) A lot of people all of sudden are experts in Homeric Myth, even though they've likely never read The Odyssey or The Iliad.

2) There's a conflation of the modern understanding of Nationalism vs how it would have been understood in Antiquity.

3) People think Mycenaean Greeks and the Archaic Greeks are the same. They are not. There's this entire major reshape of history in the Bronze Age Collapse between these civilizations.
They share some cultural similarities, but are distinct.

The Oilers should hire this Woodcroft guy. Anaheim's offense is pretty electric.

What a dumb, dumb, selfish penalty to take.
You can't kill penalties, so let's hit a dude 4 seconds late and 60 feet away from the puck. Just give Anaheim a free way back into the game.
Also Nurse overskated that play, just silly all around.

I don't think this proves the point you think it does.
When does the NHL benefit the Oilers? And your answer is the only time they use an independent 3rd party to enforce their rules.
Rules they then immediately changed.

"when have the rules ever been applied in the interests of the Edmonton Oilers"

There's suspending Nurse for instigating a fight both dudes wanted.
There's Kesler literally holding Talbots pad but not counting as interference.
There's changing the 4 on 4 rules

I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but the NHL definitely makes it hard to believe that the League HO doesn't play faves.

I like how we're all talking about how losing will cause the Oilers to learn the lesson.
Guys, you look up inertia in the dictionary and you see the Oil drop.
They'll learn nothing. Change nothing.
KK will still be coach. Nurse an Oiler, and the team will still sell out 42x/yr

That's probably a goal, but the refs need to come out and explain that call.

That's a special load of crap. That's probably a goal but the Reg didn't call it, the Goal judge didn't. Anaheim did, so it counts?

Oilers have blown so many leads trying to passively nurse them home. They need to figure out that it doesn't work at some point.
It's a lesson they should have learned years ago against Chicago

How is that not a penalty on the pick? Ffs. NHL reffing is infuriating
