^ They are getting there.

A nice tribute to those that serve our country last night, along with some super wicked awesome folks dropping in on things + a BIG WIN!

Skinner had one serious miscalculation and should have GOT BIG on the second goal, but otherwise was pretty solid behind the net.

It was nice to see the team be able to maintain the zone and actually breakout of their own end.

My player of the game though was Roslovic. Tremendous skill, almost a goal of the year and hardworking.

Did the "Voice of the Oilers" sing the anthems? Wasn't sure if Clark'seys cancer was keeping him out or not...

^ Edmonton should stand a better chance because Calgary's new arena won't be ready by then.

Neat little story on NHL.com. Something just the fLamers organization wouldn’t know the first thing about…..

This is low-level propaganda from the EOCF after the news broke last month on their feeble payouts. It's hard to believe possible, but they've even managed to pump up the in-game promos on Sportsnet too.

Blue 'Jays Care' 50/50 charity is going to hit $6million in World Series ($3million to winner).

Their payout to charities is 66 cents per $1 versus Oilers Foundation at 44 cents per dollar. Blue Jays B+ for transparency versus D+ for Katz.

Considerably cheaper to buy direct.

I prefer to shop at the Oilers store in ICE District.

^ Absolutely, Amazon (or whomever the delivery unit is) doesn't need to be involved!

 

[IanO]

My point being that typically you wholesale to folks like the Oilers store and pricing online is similar, but in this case the Oilers store is substantially marking it up.

That's BS.

I'll still shop at the Oilers store regardless of pricing. I need to try out the hats or jerseys before I pay. Moreover, I'm contributing to downtown pedestrian traffic, especially on weekends. Or would you rather I shop at Sports Closet in Kingsway Mall instead?

I mean, right now I don't have the option, being in Kelowna, but even when I was in Edmonton, while on a tight budget, I can't really afford to buy with a 15-20% markup, which is what the Oilers' store is doing.

I should also point out that I avoid online shopping like the plague, especially Amazon.
