This is true, however an unpaved rink can become a dog arena in the summer months, or if it's paved it could be used for either Basketball or Ball Hockey. If it's just a rink over grass and doesn't have any boards, then it just becomes a grassy field for picnics. Whereas a not operating fountain...

I love fountains as much as the next guy, but in our climate is it really worth it to put in one when it's only going to be running for 4-5 months a year? Obviously having them around in the summer time is great, and in general I don't like that they're watering down an already (in my opinion)...

You certainly are, and I think a lot of the points brought up are certainly valid, except for complaints about pronunciation and whether or not one says "northwest" when talking about road names. I think the issue is that it doesn't come across as constructive criticism in your initial comment...

Agreed, don't listen to the haters. A lot of people on this site don't think a lot before posting, I've experienced this before when I've posted my own work here in the past.

He lacks some local knowledge for sure, but that's a product of you know, not being a local. I'd love for him to get out here and do a city review or something after having visited, but it's not exactly cheap to fly around Canada, I have no idea what his Youtube revenue looks like but I'm sure...

With the offseason moves, trades and signings starting to wind down. I think it's time for a way too early NHL and division ranking prediction. X = Wildcard Team So here we go: Atlantic: 1. Florida 2. Boston 3. Toronto 4. Detroit X 5. Tampa Bay 6. Ottawa 7. Montreal 8. Buffalo Metropolitan...

Reese from RM Transit releases a crayoning video for Edmonton!

Love this trade, MCleod did well enough in his role. But Savoie could be a legit top 6 player as soon as next season and has star potential. Absolutely amazing work here.

For some fun offseason posting I thought it might be interesting to get everyone's thoughts on the Oilers Jersey History. Here's how it shakes out for me: We'll start at the bottom and work our way to the top: F: The Oilers have two F tier jersey in their history in my eyes. These are the...

The Oilers free agency was fantastic in my opinion. They basically brought back everyone (except Foegele) and added some really good pieces on forward (Arvidsson and Skinner). There were only 2 moves I didn't really like: Perry 1x 1.4 million, he was good in the regular season, but went ghost...

Draft coming up tomorrow: I have no idea who the Oilers should take at 64th. Personally I think they should move the pick as a sweetener for a team to take on a bad contract. I have barely paid attention to this draft class when compared to previous years. But I'm gonna take a crack at a mock...

This is what what I'm worried about, may or may not be too much orange with the pants, socks, etc. Will need to see it on the ice. Black may have been a better choice, at least for the helmet and gloves. Jersey by itself is fine orange. Just realized I wrote jersey instead of uniform. I...

Some news from around the NHL today: Fanatics has officially taken over from Adidas as the jersey provider for the NHL. What this means moving forward: for now, things are staying pretty much the same, the only changes are the removal of the shoulder dimples from the AdiZero jerseys, a slight...

Just over 13 million for 8 years, kicks in in 2025-26

Give him a fresh start to find his game away from the pressure, media and fan attention of a hockey crazed market trying to win a Stanley Cup. Now I don't know Nurse or what he's feeling like, but the level of criticism he faces for his contract and sub-par play is very similar (if not more...

Oilers Offseason 2024, The goal here being trying to keep as much of the contributing core together as possible, while cutting out weak links. Cap Saving: As with any offseason in the modern NHL, the most important thing you have to start with is cap dumps, in the form of trades or buyouts...

Also, Panthers "fans" booed McDavid getting the Conn Smythe Trophy. Classless

Oilers were slow in the first and second period, that was the difference. Couldn't get a bounce when they finally got their legs moving in the third. This sucks so bad. Not just because the Oilers didn't win, but because yet another southern American team with 8 fans won. Hockey lost tonight...

My money is on Jeff Jackson, current President of Hockey Ops, so jumping into the GM role probably isn't too much of a switch up for him, He's McDavid's former agent, likely has had a lot of say in recent moves that have been made. I think the timeline is really important as well. The time...

I've been non-stop stress since yesterday morning, barely slept last night. It all comes down to tonight. Make us proud Oilers!!!
