The amount of people texting into Oilers Now with "Trade Bouchard" and "Evan can't play defense" takes is a real negative statement on the intelligence of the fanbase in this town. 2 is the IQ test and these people just keep failing it. L

So Evander Kane has to submit his 16 team trade list by end of day tomorrow? My wish is that he's traded by the Oilers by noon on Saturday for "future considerations"... Money better spent elsewhere. Bite the bullet, pay the price, move on.

If your response to tonight's Oilers performance is to zero in on and bitch about Evan Bouchard, you're Rob Brown and are living proof that ex-players as analysts are not necessarily insightful or intelligent. Garbage analysis. As usual.

Full-on mad scientist shit today...

Canadian D really struggling to transition the puck effectively with Makar out. Geez, too bad there wasn't a way to have avoided this being a deficiency....

Very good synopsis, @lowetide.bsky.social. Bouchard is the Oilers fan/media intelligence test. The volume of bleating about his supposed shortcomings as a player is inversely proportional to the complainant's hockey knowledge. www.nytimes.com/athletic/613...

Feeling pretty happy for @lowetide.bsky.social and @frank-seravalli.bsky.social right now. Eagles owned the line of scrimmage all game. Final score flattered KC.

Why is there continual talk about what Jeff Skinner needs to do to stay in the lineup when Mattias Janmark continues to do nothing other than be a possession sinkhole?

I have, unfortunately, seen the Spector piece. Essentially he demands that Bouchard never have a bad period, never mind a bad game. Gretzky had bad games. Hasek had bad games. Lidstrom had bad games. It’s an impossible standard, set by a moron.

Dumb fans telling on themselves themselves on X by agreeing with Mark Spector. Thank you for stating very clearly that you don't know jack shit about hockey in 2025, you simpletons.

Canucks about to get housed on this Miller return if Chytil is indeed the main piece coming back... CC @stanch.bsky.social

In and out of Costco spending only $29.59. It can be done!

It is VERY important to note that "contrarian voices" about vaccines & public health have NOT been "left out of the conversation." On the contrary, disproven & simply wrong ideas have become a DOMINANT part of public discourse, influencing public opinion & policy.

It's not a coincidence that the dumbest of the YEG hockey MSM (Spec, Louie, Brown) are the ones bleating the loudest when Evan Bouchard has a rough moment, yet are silent the >90% of the time things go as they should. Evan is the intelligence test, and they all fail it on the regular.

Presented without comment.

The only card I need is the ace of spades...

#Caturday Cattitude.

Thought we'd see JSkinner getting a shot with 93-18 while 97 is out. Nope. That spot goes to Mattias Janmark, who has not scored with a goalie in net since G7 of the SCF. Why waste those minutes on a fourth liner? Awful deployment.

NHL DOPS can fuck all the way off. That is all.

The Nugepologists are out in full force today, it appears. Apparently, they don't like the fact that people are actually cluing in to the fact that 4th line level 5v5 points production when playing the wing with the best player since 97 isn't anywhere close to acceptable.

Ordered myself this hoodie. I regret nothing. CC @krampuslindholm.bsky.social

I really wish the Oilers coaches held all the forwards to the same standard for poor play as they have for JSkinner and CBrown. cough*RNH*cough

@ersatzov.bsky.social Breaking news: George Parros is still totally ass at his job.

Don't let this WJC good medal game deflect attention away from the important fact that Peter Anholt and Dave Cameron should never be allowed anywhere near a Team Canada staff again. Arrogance and incompetence are a terrible combination.

Peanut Butter Whiskey plus Egg Nog equals Delicious.

This Year's Summit Topic: Maybe next time Canada should consider bringing their best players and staff to the tournament

Don't: burn down the 18 and 19 year old kids who gave it their all. Do: criticize the hell out of the coaching staff and management team.

Maybe another early exit at the WJC will knock some humility into Hockey Canada regarding future choices of coaches and roster selection process, perhaps?

Going into today, there were 283 forwards in the NHL with at least 350 minutes at 5v5 this year. In terms of points per 60, RNH is currently 265th at 0.91. And he plays the majority of his minutes on the wing of the best hockey player since Mario Lemieux. 93 needs to pick it up. Very poor from him.
