Hello out there, we're on the air, it's 'Hockey Night' tonight.
Tension grows, the wistle blows, and the puck goes down the ice.
The goalie jumps, and the players bump, and the fans all go insane.
Someone roars, "Bobby Scores!", at the good ol' Hockey Game.
OH! The good ol' Hockey game, is the best game you can name.
And the best game you can name, is the good ol' Hockey game.
Second Period.
Where players dash, with skates aflash, the home team trails behind.
But they grab the puck, and go bursting up, and they're down across the line.
They storm the crease, like bumble bees, they travel like a burning flame.
We see them slide, the puck inside, it's a 1-1 hockey game.
Third Period. Last game of the playoff too!
Oh take me where, the hockey players, face off down the rink.
And the Stanley Cup, is all filled up, for the champs who win the drink.
Now the final flick, of a hockey stick, and the one gigantic scream.
"The puck is in! The home team wins!", the good ol' hockey game.
OH! The good ol' Hockey game, is the best game you can name.
And the best game you can name, is the good ol' Hockey game.

(It's in!) (He shoots, he scores!) (Henderson scores for Canada!)

Could be worse. At least their not on an 8 game losing streak to the Sabres and 1-15 in their last 16 games in buffalo
Sick goal. Funny though how the best team in the NHL can only manage one point in a home and home to one of the worst teams though. Pretty funny
Idk if it's really a double post cause 2+ weeks but whatever. Dallas Eakins finally got axed. Hopefully now Edmonton can rebound ever so slightly so the aren't 30th overall cause i'd hate to see McDavid or Eichel go to that clusterfuck of an organization.
Yea I don't think this will fix anything, Edmonton is in too deep of a hole to climb out of. MacTavish is completely delusional if he thinks Eakins could do more with the shitstain of a team. The Oilers are fundamentally broken and have been this way for almost 10 years. Yet another HC firing changes nothing.
If McDavid goes there I will cry. Let him go to Arizona please. (yea fuck it, I don't want him on the Sabres, it's Zemgod's team anyway)

Fixed that for you. even though i'm pretty sure Arizona isn't moving anytime soon, stupid ass Bettman. Plus they're way ahead of EDM right now. Imagine though if he goes to buffalo? That team essentially clinches a cup some years down the road once all of their prospects are developed.
The thing is we already have insane prospect depth down the middle: Girgensons, Ennis, Grigorenko, Reinhart. The first 2 are already proven NHL performers and Grigs and Samson are just about sure things. We don't need McDavid, we're getting 3 great prospects in the draft anyway and it's better to be able to give them all the space they need so they can develop. Even now we'll eventually have to move guys to the wing (well, Ennis already plays wing and Girgs has played wing too, so not that big of a deal I guess). I'd rather see the kids win a bunch and get positive experience, even if it means picking later in the top 10.
