@drdrew @adamcarolla The irony of Adam complaining the Kent McCord is only interested in his own stories is pretty amazing.

@Petespucks @MorganLaidler It has NOTHING to do with Connor McDavid. Since Daryl Katz took over the Oilers, it has been the worst run franchise in the NHL. If they hadn't had Powerball level good fortune their 10 year playoff drought would have extended to 20 years. The dysfunction is case-study level.
English
@MorganLaidler And Eichel could easily win his second. Not bad for the McD runner up.
McDavid has astronomical individual talent. He has NEVER learned to be a good team player and should never have been captain.
He needed a Landeskog type like MacKinnon

Either Taylor Hall or Mitch Marner will win a Stanley Cup before Connor McDavid.

Taylor Hall, Tyler Dellow, Dennis King.
Eastern Conference Champions!

@ChrisHooks0223 @Canes @JohnathanKorkie I wonder if the NHL will allow them to take out Vegas goalie the way they did in 2006?

@Bob_Stauffer Taylor Hall in a couple weeks after having to start his career with Daryl Katz's "leadership" and hockey organization building.

Yup, was really loving the way this Montreal team played. Until Carolina stopped letting them play that way.
Mike McIntyre@mikemcintyrewpg
It has become apparent the Montreal Canadiens aren’t in the same weight class as the Carolina Hurricanes. Clock has struck midnight for the Cinderella Habs.

@MorganLaidler I separated from Canada 32 years ago, so I'm biased. Even if 25% of the population is now interested in secession, people need to think about how that happened. It wasn't even a figment of a crazy imagination when I was growing up there. So what happened? Are we blaming Trump?

These numpties are so hard up to blame everyone but themselves for Alberta separatism.
It’s utterly infuriating.
I’m not carrying water for Stephen Guilbeault of all people (nor am I going to) but can we at least live in reality for five minutes.

@jimmathesonnhl Exactly. Why undo good work with a ponderous commitment to a flawed philosophy. That overripening only worked pre salary cap when his team held all the cards (and money). Rigidity is not a great characteristic in executives of any industry.

Holland did draft Broberg in first round and took heat from some circles for not taking Zegras
WK@KorkieWarren
@jimmathesonnhl Anybody who saw Broberg emerge in the 2024 playoffs knew he was the real deal. It's 100% on Holland for disenchanting him. He's a hack who can take his guide and record book and his green bananas and shove them sideways up his fucking urethra.

holloway was hurt a lot and that made his path to regular employment trickier. Broberg got disenchanted as he had a right to
Zacs Hymen@JustinOilers
@jimmathesonnhl They never give young guys a chance. its why we lost broberg and holloway. Waited to long to promote them and then they left.

@jk_rowling I feel like if trans women would up their sandwich game it would go a long way towards making their case.
English
Being biologically female means having a body that is observably organised to produce large gametes (eggs), as opposed to a body organised to produce small gametes (sperm). A woman is female whether her eggs have been fertilised or not. A man can never be female.
English
@DawsAngeles Good on you Dawson. Was only mildly aware of Adam until 2006 when I was driving LA on my way to an interview. Heard ten minutes and I've been daily since then. You've been a huge part of that IMO. Dameshek era and early Grad was peak but love that you've been the one constant

A thread I posted on Facebook yesterday. Part 1:
Today, Adam Carolla gets his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Twenty years ago, I moved to Mid-City Los Angeles for a new radio gig. I was the new Technical Producer for The Adam Carolla Radio Show.

@SwipeWright @jk_rowling Given that your headline statement has been proven to be incorrect ad infinitum I think I'll pass thanks.

@KevinMcCurdy @herle_alex It was avoidable. Ken Holland and his ridiculous over ripening green banana bullshit cost this yeah at least one, probably 2 Cups. He should be as unemployable as Chia Pet but he's everyone's buddy
English
@herle_alex Broberg was an unavoidable casualty, he wanted out and that is 100% on Ken Holland. Larsson left because his Dad died here, and moving on is what his family needed.
English
Cam Neely has to be on that list somewhere.
Orr as well.
From an Oilers perspective:
What if Roloson didn't get totaled in '06
What if Oscar Klefbom didn't destroy his shoulder (this one is way more crucial than people realize, as the entire defensive construction of this team would be different and set in motion an entire sequence of events)
The Mug NHL@TheMugNHL
Who is the biggest “what if” player in NHL history? For example, What if Carey Price never got injured?
English
@SwipeWright @jk_rowling This will get crickets because trans advocates are as dimwitted as flat earthers and fundamentalist religious people. They know what they know and scientific truths are lost on them
