Executive decision: airport rules also apply in hotel lounges when on vacation. 930am beers? Totally reasonable.

Knowing how pretentious the loudest and dumbest of the Tkacucks are... Do you think they'll have a problem with their boys quoting noted asshole Conor McGregor, or are they just going to turn their heads the other way and continue to shitpost about Corey Perry and Evander Kane? I expect...silence.

Any discussion about how to improve the Oilers this offseason must start with finding a way to get the Darnell Nurse albatross off the books. Paying your 4th best LD 2-3 times what he's worth is untenable. It's time for 25 to go.

The exact Tkacuck Flames fans you'd expect are celebrating as if their team was relevant somehow.

This needs to be the last game in Oilers colors for all of Stuart Skinner, Nurse, and Kane. Moving out the money spent on Henrique and Arvidsson would help. And if what you're doing right now is bitching about Evan Bouchard and what he's going to get paid? Your opinions about hockey are worthless.

74 as goalie for the Oilers next year is 100% untenable. That last goal killed any hope of a comeback and simply cannot happen.

As expected, Evan Bouchard being blamed for both goals against. Mark Spector leading the charge.

Absolute horseshit officiating.

Well...you can't blame Stuart Skinner for that mess. Jesus.

Glue Nurse and Kane to the fucking bench for the rest of the night.

Nurse and Kane both need to be in the press box for game 5. $14.375M a year cap hit for selfish and stupid pay.

The good thing about this, to use a golf analogy? A series is match play and not stroke play. No difference between losing 4-3 or 6-1. Flush it and win on Thursday. Not necessarily easy, but simple.

Very happy in my investment in a Jake Walman jersey at the moment.

Sean Monahan winning the Masterton Trophy and being surprised with it by Meredith Gaudreau is good stuff.

Greg Cote is nothing more than Florida Man Stan Fischler.

PSA: If any of your Flames fans friends say they are cheering for Florida the next 3 weeks because of "(their) boy Matthew Tkachuk", be sure to send them this photo of their reserved special seating for the Stanley Cup Final...

Game Day, y'all. ##LetsGoOilers 🔶️🔷️

The toxicity of a certain segment of the Dallas Stars fanbase has been on full display the last 12 hours. My lord.

Neither the Shanaplan or the Yzerplan will work without a Lidstromanifesto and/or a Fedorovcument. That much we do know.

They're getting very little respect in the handshake line...

I really wonder how Mitch Marner would look playing the wing with a true superstar center like McDavid or Drsaisaiti and not an overrated fraud like Auston Matthews. That said...not sure why the Leafs scratched AM34 for this era-defining game 7. *checks lineup* Wait, what?

Two years ago today, to the date, the Oilers had their season ended on home ice by the Golden Knights. What a wonderful opportunity tonight to return the result. #FckVgk #LetsGoOilers 🔷️🔶️

Evan Bouchard haters walking funny at the moment, given how far 2 has hammered it straight up their asses the last 8 games. Pay the man.

Vegas Piss Babies hockey in full effect. #RIPKinger

Waiting to hear Mark Stone's commentary on the play by Hertl in OT that injured Calvin Pickard. *crickets*

Oilers Game Day, AND it's #Caturday too. The best.

Vegas going with baby shit coloured jerseys remains a puzzling choice.

Yes, I've got it on a shirt.

Still not sure what to say about the sudden loss of Brian King, aka PDO. Feel sick for his two young daughters who will grow up without their dad more than anything else. Rough few weeks in the Oilers fans online community...

Reading the replies to post over on Xitter, and it appears Theo Fleury is off his meds again.

"We can't give Bouchard big money, we already have Nurse making $9.25M!" Fine then, trade Darnell to pay the guy who actually deserves top pairing money.

Oh hey. #Caturday

To paraphrase the movie Armageddon... "I can guarantee we're winning game 3." "How do you figure that?" "Because if we don't, we're screwed!" #LetsGoOilers

25 going full starfish and accomplishing nothing on the LA goal is a reminder that Kris Russell's "mentorship" is still impacting this team like a case of Herpes.

We are now 4 periods into this series. Paging Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. Time to show up, 93.

"Darnell Nurse and Stuart Skinner combined to allow LA to score on their 5v4 to go up 1-0. Here's why it's actually Evan Bouchard's fault." - A Special Essay For Sportsnet, by Mark Spector

There is only one way to retaliate against this harmonica anthem strategy. Summon the bagpipes.

Just when you think Spec can't write anything more idiotic, he outdoes himself yet again... (Find the link yourself if you want to be annoyed. I'm not giving that shit a direct signal boost.)

Its nearly impossible to make a logical case to blame anyone other than the goalie for last night's outcome, but damned if the exact idiots you'd expect to do so (Spec, R.Brown, Rishaug, Almeida, etc.) aren't going to try and pin the loss on Bouch. I've defended 74 more than most. Make a save, FFS.

Nurse a total clusterfuck in his own zone on LA goal 3 yet, to hear the usual suspects tell it, you'd think Bouchard shot the puck in his own net. The double standard is a joke, and the far better player is the one getting shit on at every turn. Dumb.

Posting it here for the record. You're allowed to make fun of it only if you post yours as well.

Getting this taken care of today...

Playoff Ready.

Consider the current Oilers forward corps, fully healthy, but with Dylan Holloway instead of Mattias Janmark. Don't prioritize 4th liners based on playoff PDO luck, and don't grind key young RFA's.

Trent Frederic jersey sales could be brisk if he gets some traction as an Oiler. He is 100% an obnoxious dink on the ice, and I'm here for it.

Afternoon game, no 97/29/14/74, middle of a road trip, a Kings team that's been almost unbeatable on home ice... All this adds up to a totally unexpected Oilers win today, doesn't it?
