Slow offensive start is trying Nylander’s patience. @kristen_shilton I don't know why this makes me happy, but it does.

They still had their odds improved because of losing. I understand the parity argument but still annoying.

I think what stops you from getting behind the Jets is you cheer for another team. And what irritates me about the Oilers is being rewarded with the best player on the planet (and other consecutive 1st round draft picks) for losing. During the Oilers futility years, if the NHL did what European soccer does, the Oilers would have been regulated to playing the Oil Kings. I think some here recognize when the Jets don't deserve something but we really don't feel we need to applaud your Oilers.

Sure but they still suck. Sorry it's hard being a hardcore Jet fan living in Oiler land. It brings me joy when they lose knowing it annoys some Oiler fans here and some posters on this board. They had their time in the 80's and 90's with no mercy on us Jet fans. It's our time now. They can wait their turn say another 20 years. Any grammar mistakes my apologies in advance.

True.

That's an expensive fourth line.

Probably but they still have the offseason to find someone.

That is funny.

As much as this pains me to say, I sure wouldn't count them out just yet, they seem to have a knack for finding gems when need be.

Yea I could see him walk through the Pens door for the first time and ask 'anyone claim #66?'

Could hurdle with the best of them . . .

In the feed it reports his role is still unclear but assume Nik Lewis receivers coach? I also wonder if his coaching persona will be the same as his playing persona? Hope it is because it will be good for the league.

Benevides is probably a good example of this tactic.

Rit. Oilets suk.

Even a freak like him can be susceptible if he's overplayed plus bigger picture they are way to reliant on him. If McDavid goes down for an extended time how confident would they be in weathering the storm? Ask any HardCore Oiler fan and you'll get your answer. Unfortunately I'm surrounded by them.

I could care less about the Oilers but you're calling it after nine games? Give it time. Oilers suck. So much dead weight on this team. They are playing with danger playing McDavid so much I.e greater risk for injury.

Yea they're a powerhouse especially when McJesus isn't on the ice.

Mass's last card to play till his number comes up.

For everything.

I'm curious if Morrissey's injuries over time has been something specific, like the same injury repeating itself, or just random injuries incurred.

Reliability as we knew he was going to get the job done (best punter ever into the wind, no small feat in Canadian weather), longevity as we didn't have to worry about filling the punters position for many years, great teammate, good community member . . .

Yes but more my point was how integral he was to our team at that time.

As well, third string QB :-)

Not really around our league but: Report: Brandon Browner pleads no contest to attempted murder, sentenced to eight years in prison: http://deadsp.in/N3QotNt

I think what I find most interesting with Lapo pulling his name was the reason he did it, that he would have had to retain some existing Argo's staff (if the sources are in fact reliable). I completely understand why a new Head Coach would want the ability to surround himself with the people he believes will bring the team success and match his coaching philosophy . However, another way to interpret that reason is the knock Lapo has had over the years, that knock being his control issues, as in this is how things will go with little iterations. If this knock is true he has to learn he doesn't always need to be right and he doesn't always need to be the smartest guy in the room.
