Thankfully there's still the pickem contest!

Bladek just started practicing again this week iirc.

Yep. I should have added that depending on who writes the article also matters a great deal. I'm very thankful that Tait still writes pieces on the club... being stuck with the likes of Friesen or Wiecek would be awful.

He missed games 1 & 4 due to injury though. Sitting him for game 5 could just have been MOS keeping the bubble wrap on him.

If I wasn't at home, there's no way I would have watched it. I'll take articles over video all day.

Literally just did the same. A kicker? I'm out.

Necro-posting but I feel like this deserves to be acknowledged for its accuracy. 🤣

Yep, their contracts are fairly similar so the Oilers don't really gain anything financially. The NMC & on the ice is where they'll see the benefit of this trade. I've really disliked Lucic for a long time (going back to his Boston days) so the fact he's no longer wearing an Oilers jersey is a win all day long for me.

https://www.tsn.ca/edmonton-oilers-deal-forward-milan-lucic-to-calgary-flames-1.1339604 I cannot express how happy I am that the Oilers are rid of this guy! The fact that the Oilers dumped him on the Lames is just icing on the cake!

No necessarily. Thye handled Bighill's injury the exact same way last week. Bighill said he was good to go but didn't play. Matthews says he good to go but won't play. Just the way MOS does things.

What might be a fact for you, isn't for others. I'm in & out of the new stadium about 20 minutes faster than the old one. No traffic jams for me at all. Location is not an issue.

Yep, I thought he was a bit unlucky (some from his own doing) but actually looked decent. He made a great attempt on that near touchdown as well. He comes up with that and nobody is talking about him having a poor game.

I assume it's just MOS being cautious. They did the same with Bighill last week. In an interview he did, Bighill acknowledged that not playing was a coaches decision, even if he felt he could go.

Thanos?

Is he really though? He did get beaten out by Davis for the #1 spot in training camp.

Not sure the league would allow it.

Yep, seems like they took a few days to look into it and check the validity of the accusation and then let him go. Apparently she got it on video so it wouldn't have been too hard to verify.

Might as well be given by this guy.

Damn that sucks. Sweet Pea was one of (if not my 1st) favorite boxers. He was untouchable for a long period of time in the late 80's & early 90's.

Double post

I'm not sure that's what happened. I could be misreading, but it sounds like he was billing the team for his personal trips.
