The Depth of D
I started writing this article before the trade happened today, and now it feels slightly more relevant… It’s been a few days since Sutton was signed to an extension, and I still don’t know…Read More
Panel Thoughts
One of the things I got a kick out of Thursday night was the TSN panel. During the second intermission Darren Dreger was talking about which Oilers were most likely to be traded. During his discussion…Read More
Cat Got My Tongue
Yep it’s me with an article! Jeff promised that there would be surprises this week! In the two plus weeks since I last posted I’ve started writing three different articles, but never finished…Read More
State of Affairs
