LastPommerFan Posted April 19, 2015 Report Posted April 19, 2015 Edmonton is only two hours behind the East. The Kings are 3 hours and it hasn't been an issue. It's 2015, the world does not revolve around the eastern time zone and the 8 pm start time. All of the TV executives disagree with you. Quote
Weave Posted April 19, 2015 Report Posted April 19, 2015 It's amazing how little I care about this. Wake me up when we start winning games during an honest to goodnes season. Lottery,… are you ###### kidding me?! I can't wait until we are counting on our GM to actually build a GD team instead of relying on a bunch of ###### ping-pong balls to do it for him. :wub: Quote
deluca67 Posted April 19, 2015 Report Posted April 19, 2015 Really... tell that to the NFL Peyton Manning plays in the same time zone. Quote

It's not just the GM. You have to have scouts with a keen eye. Quote
eman Posted April 19, 2015 Report Posted April 19, 2015 I know no one is talking Babcock in this thread but wouldn't you agree, the next big step (huge step really) is who TM gets as coach? We have lots of kids now and their development is pivotal to where this franchise goes in the next 3-5 years. I am set with Eichel. I admit I wanted McDavid but like I said, i trust Central Scouting and am happy with Jack. i also agree that I hope he does play with a chip on his shoulder to show he was not "the consolation prize". That being said, The coach thing has me worried, we screw that up and it is more pain, and seriously, have we as fans not suffered enough now? I have had it with the play of this club the past 3 seasons. The coaching choice will make it or break it Quote
LastPommerFan Posted April 19, 2015 Report Posted April 19, 2015 Peyton Manning plays in the same time zone. And none of his kickoff times reflect that fact. Quote
Doohicksie Posted April 19, 2015 Report Posted April 19, 2015 I like this angle. Except I'm still typing McEichel! I changed the original comment to McDavid. Quote
Robviously Posted April 19, 2015 Report Posted April 19, 2015 Cool idea: User Actions Following Jeremy White@JeremyWGR Jeremy White retweeted Mike DeFelice He's at @Jack_Eichel11 Jeremy White added, Mike DeFelice @Mike_DeFelice @JeremyWGR it would be really cool to get the let's go buffalo chant on Eichel's twitter feed. Make it happen. Quote
JJFIVEOH Posted April 19, 2015 Report Posted April 19, 2015 In a couple of years Murray should offer McDavid an insane amount of money as an RFA forcing the Oilers to match the offer and then have to trade half their team because they won't be able to afford everybody else. Quote
darksabre Posted April 19, 2015 Report Posted April 19, 2015 For sake we haven't actually drafted him yet. Quote
deluca67 Posted April 19, 2015 Report Posted April 19, 2015 And none of his kickoff times reflect that fact. Fans will always find the great players. Quote
Doohicksie Posted April 19, 2015 Report Posted April 19, 2015 Murray more pissed about having to drive up and deal with everything than actually lose the lottery. Why am I not surprised? Quote

Murray has had the easiest job in sports since he was hired. Now shut up for a few months and build a hockey team. Honeymoon over!! Quote

LGR4GM Posted April 19, 2015 Report Posted April 19, 2015 Amen. Murray has had the easiest job in sports since he was hired. Now shut up for a few months and build a hockey team. Honeymoon over!! haha What? Quote
SabresBillsFan Posted April 19, 2015 Report Posted April 19, 2015 I'm kinda wondering if this organization is so set on McDavid that they would flip-flop picks with Buffalo throwing in players. I highly doubt it happens but u never know. Quote
Courier-Express Posted April 19, 2015 Report Posted April 19, 2015 We tanked to guarantee Eichel, not get McDavid. Had we not finished last we would be getting neither. Thank God we did. Mission accomplished. +1 Quote
bunomatic Posted April 19, 2015 Report Posted April 19, 2015 Amen. Murray has had the easiest job in sports since he was hired. Now shut up for a few months and build a hockey team. Honeymoon over!! When I first read this I thought it said Anne Murray. Nooooooooooo ! Hate her voice. I'd rather hear Tim Murray sing. Seriously, I need glasses. Quote
respk Posted April 19, 2015 Report Posted April 19, 2015 (edited) So the NHL creates a solution to their perceived problem and the same problem continues. A team that can't get out of its own way gets another first overall pick. I don't think anyone except for Edmonton fans are happy about this. Possibly Eichel as he gets to go to Buffalo. The NHL can't be happy about it. McDavid certainly didn't look happy during his interview. Edited April 19, 2015 by respk Quote

I highly doubt it happens but u never know. Makes more sense to move current Oilers to help build around McDavid. Quote
LGR4GM Posted April 19, 2015 Report Posted April 19, 2015 I gotta say I kinda love how much the lottery just the NHL. Totally deserved it. Quote
Neo Posted April 19, 2015 Report Posted April 19, 2015 (edited) OT: Anne Murray and Avril Levigne. Edited April 19, 2015 by Neokolai Gogol Quote
sicknfla Posted April 19, 2015 Report Posted April 19, 2015 haha What? He was given a free ticket to suck. Picking Reinhart and Eichel is easy. From here out it is going to get a little more difficult. I don't know what the hell I am saying. I just feel like bitching tonight. :) Quote
