    And to be frank with you, I loathe the Canucks big time and would probably choose the Leafs if it came down to that.

    He loved cutting in, off the wing, driving in the crease and firing one home, or crashing into the goal post.

    Yup...didnt call him the kamikaze kid for nothing. He played a totally reckless style = awesome.

    and yeah man....I can't help but laugh when Leaf fans start talking smack...just asking for a lickin. I can't stand the Laughs, mostly cause we're force-fed them on HNIC out west (see Sabres/Sens rematch night - wtf was that?)....well, and cause they are a crap team, and Tucker plays there, and and and....:) but to be honest, I think it would be pretty cool to see what Yonge street looked like during a Cup final.

    Rumors circulating that Edmonton is trying to work out a 3 way deal with the Flyers and my Canes in which Erik Cole lands in Edmonton. I hope this is just rumors as I'd hate to see Cole traded even if it means getting Pitkanen from Philly.





    Edmonton deal still possible

    Edmonton Oilers' GM Kevin Lowe wouldn't go into details, but said a three-way detail remains a "possibility."

    One big recent rumor was a three-way swap in which Erik Cole would come to Edmonton while Raffi Torres moved to the Philadelphia Flyers and Joni Pitkanen headed to the Carolina Hurricanes.

    Why does every single GM have to go through the same thank you speach before making their picks? I only watched up until the Canes picked Sutter. Was hoping we would take a chance on either Espisito or the Russian, but they like hockey families (Staal) and seem pleased with the kid they took.

    And now that I have hijacked the thread a bit, back to the thread subject........I still hope Cole doesn't get dealt to the Oilers.

    Likely just rumors. Shoulda know better than to listen to a national source. Here is the info from the local media: http://www.newsobserver.com/796/story/615076.html

    Hurricanes general manager Jim Rutherford denied Cole was in play -- "wasn't, hasn't been, no," Rutherford said -- and Edmonton general manager Kevin Lowe said Cole's name had not come up, joking that if Cole was available, he'd pick up the phone.

    Well well Oiler fans schedule has been released we open up the those assholes from San Jose and then we battle the Flyers on Saturday afternoon which will be the great with the return of ex captain Jason "Gator" Smith.

    I am trying to so optimsitic about the upcoming year however I think this will be another year of maybe scraping into the play-offs. Our defence has improved dramatically with the re-signing of Dickie Tarnstrom, Pitkanen is going to be a gem, Smid will only be getting better (still say he will be a Nik. Lidstrom in a few more years), Gilbert is ready for the big times, Grebeskov (from the Bergeron trade) is currently the #1 ranked D-man in Russia, plus Greene is back.

    However we need a LW really really bad....Nilsson is ready to come and play but I would love for Lowe to find a #1 left winger.

    Anyone I expect the Oilers will be better than analysts will predict and will go as far as to say we will make the play-offs, albeit 8th.

    So what are you other Oiler fans predicting this year?
