Suck it NHL gaf


OILERS!!!!!

RIP McDavid.

 

[Kifimbo]

Craziest thing is the Oilers are actually suing McDavid junior team, forcing them to declare bankruptcy. Another reason to pull a Lindros.

Well, in reality, they were doomed the day the NHL changed the lottery odds.

Fuck Buffalo and their tanking. They are lucky they didn't bring in the lottery for the top 3 spots this year.

 

[Marvie_3]

They're still getting Eichel, not a bad consolation prize. Arizona got fucked.

Oilers were the 2nd worst option(after the Leafs), talk about a team that does not deserve a 1st overall pick ever again.

Fuck Arizona. They shouldnt even be there so I dont want them getting good players.

 

[Acerac]

No smiling from McDavid. Not a bit.

That too.

Sorry, future Quebec/Seattle team* got fucked

 

[Stasis]

What would happen if he did pull a Lindros?

I don't know what's been changed in the CBA. I feel like he'd probably just be suspended and miss a year, then have to play for them anyway in an even worse situation...

[DopeyFish]

it's like he just watched his career die before his very eyes lol

 

[mdubs]

I'm crying along with you Connor, channel your inner Lindros please

I'm only getting updates via Twitter, so I need some gifs stat.

This was probably the absolute worse result for the NHL. A McDavid would've saved a franchise like Crosby did. Instead, he goes to Edmonton, where the NHL won't see any increased revenue from.

I am honestly shocked Bettman didn't rig this draft.

 

[GSG Flash]

I guess Kevin Lowe does know a thing or two about winning (the draft lottery).

I wouldn't even mind Edmonton winning if their management wasn't such a black hole for players, probably the most toxic management/ownership in all of hockey right now.

Hall, RNH and Yakupov would all be stars right now on other teams.

Absolutely not.

RIP McJesus and Eichel careers

Not quite, are you fucking serious?

Still laughing at fools thinking BUF actually tanked. Follow the season and it's a different story. That damn team had us ripping our hair out of our heads until the last possible game. Stop it.

 

[Valor]

Fuckkkk Edmontonnnnn

 

[Sanjuro]

RIP McJesus and Eichel careers

McJesus could die in a circus for all I care...oh wait, he will!

Eichel is going to actual hell.

 

[Trey]

Eichel is going to actual hell.

Boston picks 14th; I doubt Eichel drops that far.

 

[Cactus]

I'm relatively happy with the outcome. Keep McJesus in the west.

 

[Kifimbo]

Just rewatched the start of 1991 draft. At least, Lindros looked slighty happy.

 

[Unhandled Exception]

For the record Leafs GAF

I'd have much rather he be ruined by Toronto than Edmonton

 

[Parch]

Lovin' the salt.

He'll be fine. The once-in-a-generation superstar passing the Cup to his linemate Taylor Hall in our fabulous new arena will be a glorious sight indeed..

 

[Sanjuro]

Boston picks 14th; I doubt Eichel drops that far.

You think Phoenix is a better hockey environment than Boston?

:jnc

 

[Fei]

RIP McJesus and Eichel careers

Remember Boston traded a franchise player for third liners? :lol

 

[Unhandled Exception]

Lovin' the salt.

Weren't you saying you're a habs fan not more than a few months ago?

 

[Acerac]

:jnc

Who is Buffalo picking?

 

[eyeless]

Lovin' the salt.

Connor McDavid's take on the Edmonton Oilers taken from a Toronto Sun article..

“That’s a great hockey town. They love their hockey. Obviously they’ve been on a bit of a slide the last couple of years. That’s allowed them to get some unbelievably amazing players that play there now. They’re just kind of a young team now, I guess. I’m not quite sure what’s going on (moving forward). That would be an awesome place as well.”

 

[DopeyFish]

Who is Buffalo picking?

Eichel. People forget theres 2 generational players in this draft lol

 

[GSG Flash]

RIP McJesus and Eichel careers

I think Eichel will be fine, the Sabres haven't had a blue chipper of this calibre in god knows how many years.

Thanks. I think.

I do. Thornton was kind of done here though.

 

[Parch]

Weren't you saying you're a habs fan not more than a few months ago?

Why not both? I was a Habs fan long before the Oilers existed.

 

[Kifimbo]

Eichel. People forget theres 2 generational players in this draft lol

We'll see. If there are two generational players in the same draft, "generational player" is probably not the right term.

 

[Sanjuro]

Who is Buffalo picking?

I think the kid from BC. Forget his name.

 

[Unhandled Exception]

Why not both? I was a Habs fan long before the Oilers existed.

And I'm pretty sure you also said you were not in fact an Oilers fan in the same post.

edit: yeah, yep. you're full shit.

*Edmonton Fan*

Not really. Haven't given that franchise a dollar since the '06 Finals.
I've been a Habs fan since Guy Lafleur's rookie season.

I thought they were just completely fucking inept. You mean they're actually worse?

 

[Fei]

I do. Thornton was kind of done here though.

He was my backup, ha. But come on man, 74 goals in two seasons. Give the man his due!

 

[sikkinixx]

What a stupid league. How many number one draft picks do they get before they get told to fuck off?

 

[OriginofHysteria]

You can pinpoint the second that McDavid felt heartbroken
