Huh? You could do a LOT worse than Schneider as a starter, just because he plays in New Jersey doesn't mean he's not a bonafide starting goal tender. Dude is legit.

with Ogopogo around he wasn't going to play much anyway barring injury.

He knows a thing or two about winning, if that was ever a concern.

you don't have to do a 180, you just have to stop trying to outshine something that was fantastic like Ledger did. This was a try hard edge lord Joker and it sucked all kinds of ass.

part of that is also reliant on who is managing the team and if they want that player.

Does it though? I mean there's lots of wishful thinking from the fans but as far as the actuality I don't think there's ever a lot of serious talk about guys wanting to come him, but there was with Harris and there is with Demski so we shall see.

Oh god please no, worst part of that movie and that really says something. He came across more like Jim Carey than anything else and it was just bad, really bad. Tried to be edgy and just came across as a douchebag. #MethodActing

Regarding Nichols I think whether or not he is elite is really irrelevant. We have seen that given the support from the rest of the team that he is capable of winning games for this team so really what more can we ask for? Get the D to a point where they're not giving up free drives and this team can beat anyone.

2 ******* passes do not define a guys career. Holy **** you would think he was out there handing the ball to the other team all the god damned time the way some people talk.

Absolutely ridiculous. "Cultural appropriation" has happened since different cultures first started interacting with each other. Sharing elements of each individual culture enriches all cultures and should be embraced and celebrated.

Quoted for truth. It's been nice having some Canadian teams in the NHL playoffs to distract us for a while but god damn is it great to have the CFL coming back right away.

yeah great day for Jimmy

Not if they keep ignoring goalie interference

Yeah that's exactly it, if he's your best player you're not winning a damned thing, but if he's riding shotgun to a real star then maybe you got a chance. It really goes to show how teams with their best player as a winger are lacking where team that have the top centre do much much better.

It's always Bettman's fault

I disagree with that, I think Gore did a fantastic job. Gotta remember that BC has trotted out some damned good american receivers too and it's not called the Manny show for nothing. There's only one football and when the Americans are the main target all you need out of a canadian like Gore is to be solid when called upon and he absolutely was.

I think we've all been waiting far too long for Matt Murdoch to show up as someone's lawyer

It seems to me that Walters MO is to take a "safe" pick first and then dabble with riskier things later. I mean he always seems to prioritize the lines, usually OL and get someone he knows is likely to at least suit up. Maybe I'm crazy but I don't think we'll ever see him deviate from that.

The fact that he didn't come back in the game was all I needed to know. If he didn't come back of course he had a concussion, guy has a soft melon from previous issues. He's a bit of a band aid, but that's the price he pays for playing the game the way he does.

The only stat that matters for qbs are the ones that help you support your pre-existing beliefs.

I thought that even the team was high on Will Smith, was that just fans wishful thinking based on the name?

Does anyone thing Jones will care or change how he operates? His entire persona is **** the rules, I do what I want!

Yes actually. Guy has done a good job taking on the top matchup and coming out ahead. The lack of points is more a case of just not having chances go in because that line probably has the most zone time of any for the Oilers at 5 on 5. Also, he might be 6'1 but he's still skinny so when Noeller calls him a big kid it's not really true, he's slighter than a lot of guys, but still has a bit of an edge to his game. Not ever going to be a bit hitter or a physical threat but he's willing to stick his nose in the greasy areas.

and at the end of the game Kassian gave Kessler a little whack just to let him know he was there and a scrum starts and Getzlaf comes in but as soon as a bigger guy turns to him he's gone, then re-enters trying to be a big man to Sekera... yeah pick on the guy half your size who wouldn't fight if his life depended on it, but nowhere to be seen when there's a real challenge. I think it's safe to say the Oilers got into the Ducks heads that game. Ducks tried to intimidate them but it didn't work.
