Why Ferdinand?! Why?! Why does poopty stuff keep happening to my favorite Oilers??!?! First Smitty, then Cap'n Smith, and now Ferdinand! Who's next? Stollie? Staios?!?@ Too much!
same man.. although i like hemsky and the newcomers in pitkanen and souray over smith but yeah.. it sucks man
not that i never liked jason smith mind you.. the guys a beast
poor you
they have like... 1 good player.. simon gagne.. (other than smith i mean) other than that they have a midget (danny briere who used the habs to drive up his contract with philly), joffrey lupul who could be good (keyword: could) and a few others but they have no goaltending (as usual)
well
they wanted pitkanen who's going to be really good.. especially with smid thats gonna be one hell of a d in the future
but yeah.. they wanted him given their never going to trade with calgary to get dion phaneuf (every coaches wet dream when it comes to a young and upcoming d-man other than *maybe* jack johnson or erik johnson (but theyve yet to prove anything while dion wouldve won the calder (rookie of the year) in any other year other than his actual rookie year (he went up against alex ovechkin and sidney crosby.. he had no chance in hell and finished third) but the year before or after he wouldve won easily because hes just that damn good.. anyways.. the top young d-men in the league are like... dion, pitkanen, jay bouwmeister, cam barker and a few others i forget off the top of my head and the only one who was legitimately available is pitkanen so they had no choice on that one
i dont think i saw those
alls i know is that emery rules oh and i dislike miller
and the sabres
a lot
although.. they are definitely lucky they didnt play the habs in the playoffs because they'd have had some probs.. the habs did quite well for themselves against the sabres
And I like Miller, he did well during the playoffs as he totally kept the Senators from blowing away the Sabs.
Oh and the Joey Moss Cup is on today, so we get to see the new Oilers jersey, and the new captain, hopefully! I bet its either going to be Moreau or Staios with Stoll being give an A.
staios will get the C w/ moreau an A and most likely stoll or souray the other A (shelly had an A for the habs and was one of the bigger leaders on the team.. hell the one thing they didnt replace when they lost him was his leadership)
hes also 50,000,000,000 years old and he's sucked it up since the year he scored 40...
and i like the guy too haha
if he could ever get back to that huge year he had a few years back he'd be awesome but at this point hes considered "depth" and a throw in the pitkanen trade :/
i actually kinda like that D you guys got goin tho if things mesh well chemistry wise
hahaha the emery/miller one wasnt bad... although emery wouldve stopped it and kicked his ass afterwards hell, emery's heroes are all boxers haha.. one of his nicknames is sugar ray and has boxers on his masks that and he totally kicked his ass last year.. like.. worked him good
