@dhockey13 He wore a neck guard in junior hockey when no one was forced to (WHL)
The best part about that tidbit is you can turn that anyway you want based on your opinion of him
Leon Draisaitl is one of a few hockey players dating a girl with brown hair and not blonde hair. That alone makes him the best player in the league, I’m sorry but it’s not up for discussion.
@warrenlukinuk@Bob_Stauffer Plus Bob got covid in Chicago, Louie over Christmas break and I thought Jack at some point too but I don’t remember cam missing games this year(other than the ones jack called) I could be wrong though
@warrenlukinuk@Bob_Stauffer Damn, hope he’s alright. If I was a betting man(which I am) I’d say it’s probably covid related. He did 1500+ games in a row in red deer so I’d think he’s called his share of sick games and if it was just a basic illness they probably wouldn’t have left him there but who knows
@Cliffriders1@drdrai2 He’s a RFA that’s asked for a trade out and there’s been rumours that they won’t even qualify him. Obviously you’d need to add more than smith but like a 2nd rd pick or a a decent prospect would be more then enough
@TonyBrarOTV@NAIT@630CHED Congrats Tony! Great job. I have to say I’ve been extremely impressed with Cam Moon, he’s had 3 different partners in the last month between you, Rob Brown and Bob and it’s been a seamless transition. Also doing parts by himself. Keep up the great work @630CHED
Cam and I are set for puck drop here in Chicago
Excited for my first NHL Radio Broadcast alongside another @NAIT Ook

@dhockey13 Can we shut up about Ethan bear already, most guys get up for games against their old team this isn’t a shocker but he’s a average nhl D man at best. Let it go
Ethan Bear was 4th on the Hurricanes in even-strength TOI. He played about 60% of his EVTOI against Connor McDavid, and the Hurricanes were 6-5 in shot attempts, 2-2 in scoring chances with Bear on-ice against McDavid. The Oilers could use an RD like him.
@mathewjdp Everyone’s entitled to their opinions but vax status aside, a guy who plays 10-15 mins a night in your bottom 6, averages 25 pts/82 games and 221 hits/82 games. Also played pk1 on one of the best pk in the league. Oh and was a 1st line wing in ploffs. Crazy not to want that
Josh Archibald is massively overrated. His work ethic disguised his very bad ability to play at an NHL level. He is a great example of misleading to the eye.
@SportsnetSpec It’s ok not to like the signing but mark has proved time and time again why Edmonton media is looked down on, twisting words, saying dumb things like Leon should apologize to Matheson and respect him because he’s in the hhof. Everyone can write, twist words and ask dumb questions
The @NHL@TheAHL and @ECHL all have a "Hockey is for Everyone" campaign. In the last two days, black players including @jordansubban and @bokojr have been subjected to racism on the ice. Stop using H.I.F.E as a cash grab and start doing something more about it! Damn sick of it!
@KailerMemeamoto@EdmontonJack@EdmontonOilers Not disagreeing but the oilers did have a 80 some % chance to win vs Florida on this chart and same with the entire series vs the jets last year
@EdmontonJack@EdmontonOilers Oilers did not play well Jack. The D was amazingly soft. Tippett and Playfair still need to go. If Tippett goes, that will be the turner if EDM makes the playoffs
Oilers run their record to 9-2 in the Pacific Division, including a combined 4-0 against Calgary and Vancouver, up next. Also 15-6 inside the Western Conference. Lotta games left. Mark this one down as the worm-turner if EDM makes the playoffs.
