ha McDrai both end up as minus players in the playoffs while leading in scoring.

PP merchants.





ah yeah it's petty and useless but fuck it...

And you'd still trade 34 and 16 straight up for 97 and 29 if a GM was dumb enough to offer you that deal.

Ya can't PP Merchant your way to a cup. Have to be able to win at 5v5.

The Oilers didn't lose because of a lack of powerplays, they lost because they got sub .900 goaltending. They didn't need Skinner to be Ken Dryden, they just needed him to not be Dave Dryden.

What a little bitch.

You mean he didn't shake the hand of the guy who could have killed him with that stupid rail splitting move? I'd have punched Pietrangelo in the face.

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

Has there ever been a more surefire waive than an Edmonton NMC though?

Winnipeg.

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

Folks born in Alberta don’t know it sucks. Unless Mindz screamed at them in the streets and mocked their cowboy hat

Folks born in Alberta are far more likely to have actual memories of winning the Cup (or at the very least the 2006 run to the final) than most Leafs fans.

 

[SundinsTooth]

Ahh memories. Thank god for memories for Canadian hockey fans.

 

[Habsy]

I was in my 20s the last time I saw one. I thought seeing 9 was enough. It isn't after 30 years.

What have you done for me lately?

 

[JackBurton]

Vegas makes me think we can go with Woll next year.

Great, cup win 15 years ago keeps them warm at night from literally everything shit else in Berta. Especially the frigid winters

30C expected in Edmonton today.

 

[MapleLeafBlueJayBoy]

Canes certainly impressed me against a very good team. Gun to my head, I think Carolina vs Edmonton is the finals. Rematch from 2006 or whenever that was. Would be a coin flip series I think.

Bang, you're dead.

 

[leafman101]

Oilers also sucking does make me feel better.

Stars showing up and scoring isn't enough either apparently.

 

[leafman101]

Vegas/Seattle conference final is Gary's wet dream. Next expansion fee will be $1 bill.

 

[WellPlayed]

30C expected in Edmonton today.

Oh wow definitely makes up for 250 days of -20C. Enjoy your three weeks of summer.

 

[leafman101]

WeHave lives in Edmonton? No wonder he's so miserable.

 

[leafman101]

The Leafs and Oilers have 6 of the top 13 playoff scorers, including the only 2 dmen in the top 30. Stars not scoring enough isn't the whole problem.

I kinda want the Habs to be an expansion team now...

 

[Habsy]

Umm. He's got better since he moved. He's the Anti-Button.

Benjamin Button that is.

Average high and low temps for Edmonton in the winter:

November: High 0C Low -8C
December: High -5 Low -13
January: High -4 Low -13
February: High -4 Low -14
March: High 2 Low -8

Average high and low temps for Toronto in the winter:

November: High 8 Low 2
December: High 3 Low -3
January: High 0 Low -7
February: High 0 Low -6
March: High 5 Low 2

Average annual snowfall

Edmonton: 123.5 cm/year
Toronto: 121.5 cm/year

Average annual days of sun

Edmonton: 325 days/year
Toronto: 305 days/year

Not exactly extreme in the differences, except that Edmonton gets 20 more days of sun per year than Toronto and about eleventy billion more than Vancouver, where I lived before.

And in case you haven't heard about all the wildfires here, I can attest to the fact that we have summers as long and as hot as Toronto nowadays, thanks to climate change.

Well they were the better 5 on 5 team.

But more importantly where do I find the memes about raising a "one more win than the leafs" banner?
