The NHL is missing this hater energy. The league would be better with more haters.

One of my friends wrote an all nighter while her roommate & friends hot boxed the bathroom right beside her bedroom. When she woke up the next day & saw what she wrote, it was titled “Live, Love, Laugh”, authored by her ludicrous nickname, & opened with a line from the Clash.

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.
You people couldn't hang with real slackers.

Outshooting the other team 36 to 22 only to give up the lead on a goalie miscue and lose in the shootout is a very Oilers way to start a season.

Acceptable condition

Kind of shocking they forgot about him in a shootout

Oh Stu. Stu Stu Stu. Why couldn’t you be fatter?

.873 goaltending behind him. Oof.

The Hurricanes aren’t likely to be fooled by PDO. But I bet he priced himself out and like you said, overplayed his hand.

WheatNOil @wheatnoil.bsky.social · 8h

Not so much a worry, just thinking about options on where he fits and what they might want to do with him. If you can PK, that gives you a leg up to stick around in the bottom 6.

WheatNOil @wheatnoil.bsky.social · 8h

No complaints. Great player to take a low risk flyer on.

WheatNOil @wheatnoil.bsky.social · 8h

Roslovic has some defensive warts. But he’s got speed, plays centre, has some finish. Didn’t PK last year with the Hurricanes but did with the Blue Jackets in the past. Shot a bit high on shooting percentage last year.

But at $1.5M x 1? Take that all day for a 3rd-4th liner with offensive upside.

WheatNOil @wheatnoil.bsky.social · 8h

He was almost certainly offered more than this earlier in the summer. Got to be kicking himself that he turned it down.

But then guys like Perry and Brown did well after their short term contracts with the Oilers so why not?

Great deal for the Oilers.

The Oilers announced that they have signed free agent Jack Roslovic to a one-year deal worth $1.5 million AAV.

WheatNOil @wheatnoil.bsky.social · 9h

I don’t know ‘too’ much about him but it depends on price and term as always. Not so great defensively. But can pump a bit of offense. May help as an offensive 3rd line option?

WheatNOil @wheatnoil.bsky.social · 9h

Start spreading the news bitches,

Specifically the attached agenda and last month’s minutes. Zoom link at the top of the agenda.

It takes everybody motherfuckers,

Over to the Oilers game, that was a hell of a goal by Mangiapane. Everything you’d want from him on a McDavid line.

Dig out the puck to keep possession, play smart and stay onside, get open for McDavid, finish.

If it’s prime time on Sunday then it’s out of the question anyways.

WheatNOil @wheatnoil.bsky.social · 10h

Seriously though. I’m flying into Toronto tomorrow to visit Niagara Falls with the family. We fly out late Sunday night. If they schedule the game for the afternoon on Sunday, maybe I could see it? (Presuming I can get tickets, but that’s step 2.)

WheatNOil @wheatnoil.bsky.social · 10h

So… what time is the game on Sunday?

WheatNOil @wheatnoil.bsky.social · 15h

Yeah and that’s fair. My thought process going in to all this was give it half a season and see where he’s at. It’s the full speed games where he may or may not be exposed. We’ll see and hope for the best.

WheatNOil @wheatnoil.bsky.social · 15h

Man, Kaprizov signed at exactly the right time for him.

Right? I think the ‘NHL’ regular season is too long!

As someone who doesn’t regularly watch baseball, I find this scheduling to be wild. I know they play almost every day. But this seems too much ‘as a fan’. Like we just went through all that yesterday and now you want me to do it again ‘today’? With no rest? Madness.

WheatNOil @wheatnoil.bsky.social · 20h

Yeah that’s definitely a possibility if he’s agreeable and maybe that was part of the informal discussion if his injuries start to pile up as he gets older.
