In this week’s edition of What Would You Do Wednesday, we’re going to start with a simple assumption: The Edmonton Oilers are going to trade one of their expensive forwards, both to land a quality defenceman and with an eye to the club’s long-term salary cap health. This assumption may or not be true, but…
In today’s ultra reactive age of social media it is important to take a step back and analyze the facts of a situation sometimes. After Darnell Nurse did his best Frank Costanza impression (“Many Christmases ago, I went to buy a doll for my son. I reached for the last one they had, but so…
At the end of last night’s game, Darnell Nurse took it upon himself to right a perceived wrong and made his best attempt to try and punch a hole clean through Roman Polak’s face. Apparently the NHL didn’t appreciate his fist kisses.
I think the parrot says it all. Final Score: 3-0 Sharks
Todd McLellan will try to patch together three defensive pairings to compete against the surging San Jose Sharks. The Sharks are the fourth highest scoring team in the NHL, with Joe Thornton leading the way scoring 37 points in his last 29 games. McLellan admitted his D pairs are in pencil, and could change often…

In order of the Pacific…

Just because the Oilers and their fans haven’t suffered enough, Brandon Davidson’s leg was brutally murdered by the 260 lb hockey equivalent of The Punisher – Dustin Byfuglien.

WE’RE BACK! This week the boys talk about Nuge being snubbed for the World Cup of Hockey, the Oilers actually winning some games for once, and Chiarelli’s work at the trade deadline. Next Jeanshorts and Baggedmilk compete in another round of Chris’ Trivia Battle Royale, then it’s time for an always educational edition of Ask…
