If there’s one thing the Oilers know how to do it’s build something – lol gold
Yeah, lets hope in a few years they decide that it was NOT built wrong
Hurry up September!
This arena is gonna be awesome!!! I wonder if an NHL team will ever play in it??
The OIL are getting better game by game. LOVE HENDY, GRYBA, KASSIAN and GAZ- lets get GAZDIC more ice time PLEASE!!!! Can’t wait till next Sept. As well!!!!
Somehow your exclusive access seemed a tad….. “formally organized”.
:))
I wonder how many man games the building crew have lost
Chris and Jeanshorts make a pretty good Mutt and Jeff. In fact, they could be Edmonton’s next power couple doing the breakfast TV circuit.
Chris the intern has some sick dance moves.
Thanks Dwayne Roloson.
Idiots, indeed. Not even useful idiots.
The last time our intern toured the facility, he got lost.
Idiots No, Fools Yes. But they are our fools. Fools with hearts of Orange and Blue Gold.
God Bless Jeanshorts and The Intern. God bless all fools everywhere!
Today Brian Burke wants the NHL to increase the ice size, is it too late to increase it in Edmonton before the new arena’s built?
This should have happened 20 years ago when the big markets started building new rinks. NHL missed the boat. It won’t happen.
That was quite hilarious. I love the media scrum you had going on boys.
MUY BUENO MUY MCDAVID
“Local idiots…” should appear in a newspaper every day. I love it. Keep up the good work. Am I the only one who often thinks Chris the Intern looks like Jordan Eberle?
No one has ever seen them in the same room at the same time…..
Looks cold enough in there now for ice.
Are you sure we have to wait until September?
Hopefully the Ice is better in Rogers Place. Dan Craig you need to come back to Edmonton and fix the ice.
I can’t wait to see how angry Jamie Benn gets with Kassian.
I also feel that the intern is an ATB xmas sweater and a tooth gap away from making a solid attempt at sneaking into the arena.
Off topic but you know how we all criticize the Oilers for rushing the top picks into the NHL instead of following the Detroit model? My question is how did that work out for Tampa and Drouin after all that AHL seasoning?
The ‘Detroit model’ is a system for developing players into their maximum potential. Drouin’s issues would seem to revolve around his personality. I wouldn’t blame the system for Tampa’s troubles.
Agreed.
Moreover, the Oilers have rushed players in an attempt to get out of the basement, while the Bolts were NOT rushing young players yet playing in the finals.
If a team has a strong showing in the finals, you can hardly fault their approach to player development.
It would appear that Drouin’s also had less than quality advice from his agent when it comes to not reporting for games. He’s only sending a signal that he’s injury-prone or hard-to-manage. Either way, it won’t help his reputation or make him easier to trade.
So we agree then that some kids flop and some succeed. The detroit model may have to do with better drafting than it does with not throwing kids into the fire immediately.
I had the opportunity to go on a media tour of Mosaic Place in Moose Jaw while it was still under construction. That tour was probably six months before opening day. It does look like there is a lot of work to be done but I have faith it will be completed on time.
