oilers suck

an excerpt from a text message i received last night:

"...sitting with steve staios of the oilers. :) he says hello."


uh hunh, sure he does....
either way, tell him he's gonna get his ass handed to him next year by the redhot boys down south...

[i'm getting AMPED for the season to start, heading back to calgary tonight for a job or three and keeping my fingers crossed that they won't encroach on my intended rookie camp viewing....]

I'm counting on you for news out of camp.

They do suck and Penner is nowhere near the answer to their woes..

L: i'm here. i'm workin' my butt off and heading to lake louise on sunday for a week of no fun at all.

Beacause Penner is a solid second liner and not top line player, even if he is playing with Horcoff & Hemsky. The sole addition of Penner up front scarcely makes up for the loss of Sykora, Lupul and the mulleted wonderboy Smyth.
Toss in the fact that they horribly overpaid for Penner (when they could have landed Parise for the same offer) and are now dealing with limited cap room. The only way to add up front now becomes dealing some blueliners and you start to see what a mess Lowe has created in Deadmonton...
