After weeks of madness with the draft and free agency, we take a look at what teams did and more
In the roundup we go around the Nation Network and give you some of the best articles of the last couple weeks. Every once in a while it’s good to know what other teams are doing, or maybe you find an interesting article you would have never found otherwise.
I heard the Flames suck, can anyone confirm/deny?
I heard the Flames actually finished higher than the Oilers last season and somehow managed to end up with a better first round pick, can you confirm/deny?
Even when the Oilers had the first pick, they never got the best player.
Must be summer, Oiler fans are climbing back on the wagon, broken legs and all.
Until, proven otherwise you and your 67 points still rule in the suck department.
Well, they finished higher in the standings, so while the Flames are not very good, the Oilers have the “suck” title. And given the Flames were supposed to be bad while the Oilers were, according to their fan base, supposed to be competing for the cup. The Oilers seem to suck harder still. And the cherry on the “suck ” sundae is that the Oilers will be ruining yet another 18 year old potential superstar in Draisaitl because they can’t sign more than 1 NHL quality center for their team. So, it is the Oilers who have the title of -to paraphrase the immortal Homer Simpson – “the Oilers are the suckiest bunch of sucks who ever sucked.
It.s not just that they are the suckiest bunch of sucks that ever sucked, so much as they don’t seem to mind being the suckiest sucks who ever sucked. Quite frankly that’s disturbing.
