We here at the Nation like to think of ourselves as a six-piece 1980s polka band. At 3pm today, the accordion player finally reports for work.
That's right, the final masterstroke of people that work with the OilersNation will be revealed this afternoon as finalize our roster for the 2008-09 season.
We think you'll be pleasantly surprised. Be sure and tune in.
—DJ Spyn Cycle is the handsome cyborg who keeps the OilersNation from self-destructing. Barely.

holy F'n S i'm excited
It's Mark Bugg. Next...
Oh yes, by all means post your predictions here, Nation. Wild speculation and rumour is what we're all about.
Eklund? You guys signed Eklund.... Didn't you?...look at me......
OK, I meant "wild speculation within reason", reason being defined be me as: "Come ON, seriously."
DR. Randy Gregg?!!!
You're adding highly graphic adult content??
It's gotta be Fred Penner, crawling out of a log, playing his guitar, and telling stories about his little nephew Dustin...
Welp, since you guys have added my entire favorites list as contributors to this site...lets see what's left...{checks favorites}
Well it could be one of these:
1. Covered in Oil dude. 2. LOLcats.com
My money's on lolcats.
btw Oilersnation ROOKIE CAMP STARTS TODAY!!!!!!!!!
Do you know what that means???? We have actually hockey stuff to talk about actual hockey players that is actually happening!!!!!!!!!!
Thank god....the puck drop is so close I can smell the Avalanche blood already.
Hmmm . . . looking to add one more writer for the nation . . . needs to know something about hockey . . . needs to be able to present opinions that will generate discussion . . . needs to have something to say constantly . . .
I'm going with Brian Burke. I don't know how you guys did it, but nicely done.
I hate that covered in oil guy. Please don't let it be him. He is so whiny
"DR. Randy Gregg?!!!"
I wish. Do you know how rich and powerful Dr. Randy Gregg is? Let me put it to you this way - Daryl Katz owes him money
I too am not a covered in oil guy, period. His opposition to the arena is almost dumbfounding. I hope his home in annexed by the city and they drop the arena right on top. He then can be relocated to millwoods - if he isnt already there.
I am guessing K-Lowe. It must be the real reason he stepped up from GM to concentrate on more blogging.
Please say Guy...
Covered in oil guy lives in Toronto and that basically disqualifies him from talking about the oilers in my opinion
Um, you didn't email -me- about joining ON, so clearly, it's not that big of an announcement.
And I'm still guessing Morley.
This is exciting! This website is starting to take up way to much time in my work day ha ha ha
hmmm dstaples?
oh yeah guy would be the Best
Think meaner and more heavily armed than dstaples.
Wanye, we already have Brownlee.
K, given Wanye's hint it's either Rambo? or that mc79hockey guy?
...I hate waiting. If this is some sort of Eklundian ploy to keep getting hits on your site until all is revealed, then I have to tell you I don't appreciate being a pawn in your devious plan. But I will check back anyways JUST to prove that you don't control me! ...now, where do I send you money?
We did the delay quite honestly because the person is currently in the US and promised us his first words in "the early afternoon."
We wanted to get word up early to entertain ourselves with speculative comments.
It's a mainstream media personality. How's that.
Mark Schultz. Although I don't know what he would actually say...
He is kinda funny though.
Ah, it's Gregor. Interesting.
GENE PRINCIPE
Holy F'n S we are 51 minutes from blowing our load
Stauffer...
Maybe Dan Tencer, that would be awesome too.
Is it Matty? Would a hall of Famer "print" guy stoop so low as to write on the Internet? Or maybe it's Ken Reid? I don't know if I can wait until 3 to find out, as I usually sneak out of here at about 2:30 on Friday. I walk out with a really big frown on my face like I'm pissed off so nobody asks me where I'm going. Doesn't everyone do that?!?
I totally do that Chaz. I also do a fake phone call move on occassion. Perosonally I think it's cruel to do this announcement at 3 on one of the last sunny Fridays of the summer.
Damn you Wayne!
Pink shirts and leather pants . . . can it be anybody else but Gregor?
Brian Fellows -
It's Wanye homeslice. Wayne Gretz is a God. I'm not.
You know everyone we can sit here and say "who" posted "what" "when" and "why" all we want. I am just like you. Sitting here at my desk waiting for the weekend to begin......
Of course the difference here is that I know what is about to happen.
BAHAHAHA
I have never known a secret before. Everyone else is gone. Spyn Cycle has something to do so he left me here and said "Post this when his email arrives. Not a moment before three though Wanye."
That's fine. I should be home watching PTI by 3pm anyways. Don't tell my Boss.
What a minute...Is PTI even on at 3 anymore? I lose track during golf season...
16mins......this better be good.
Come on RANDY GREGG!
You know why Dr, Randy has two G's in his last name? The extra G is for Extra Good. Like what his blogs about the Oilers would be like! and hell in our comments we could solicit free medical advice!
Its gonna be Bob Stauffer!
And survey says.... Matt F*ckin Greene
Fiveandagame -
"in our comments we could solicit free medical advice!"
LOL
Dr. Gregg what do you think about the Oilers Powerplay next year? Also, why does it burn when I pee?
1011011-
And Wayne would finally get that growth examined! And the Good Doctor could tell us who's brain is bigger Willis or Lowetide!
ITS 3PM BTW WAYNE!
"We did the delay quite honestly because the person is currently in the US and promised us his first words in “the early afternoon.” "
This is the part that gave it away if you'd like to know. He said he'd be in Vegas on the Bear yesterday I believe.
er, Atlantic City..whatever.
Who said that, Ribs?
I was quoting Wayne Gretz from a post up in this thread.
Or if you mean who said he's in Atlantic City, it was Gregor and Fearless Fred on the Bear. He stops in there for a couple mins every afternoon.
