Tank Nation: Matthews Edition

I don't think you can call the Oilers tankers. Tanking implies something intentional. They're Hindenburging.
 
It's kinda crazy that when the Oilers took Eberle in 2008 and Hall in 2010 and started talking about rebuilds that they'd both be close to reaching the mark where thy'd be eligible for unrestricted free agency based on seasons played and that the Oilers would still be a trainwreck.

(I know they have contracts, just an interesting observation on the length of time Edmonton have been absolutely disgustingly bad.)

I'd be happy to never see the phrase "tank" again, it's been so debased.  But we've had this debate before, so just skip it.

Lose a 2nd line centre just in time to get their 1st line centre back. They'll be fine. And, by fine, I mean, they'll be terrible.

The Oilers' naked attempt to keep lockstep pace with the Leafs has taken them as far as also getting their young forward who's known by his 3 initials injured.

Weak.

So TSN 1050 just posted then deleted a tweet saying "JVR to Rangers - more to follow".

I didn't want to start a thread since it looks like it may be B.S. but....

EDIT:

haha

I'd be shocked to see JVR sent anywhere.

Yeah it really would have made no sense, especially to the NYR of all places.  Bob McKenzie confirmed that it was just a 'compromised' tweet - glad I didn't start a thread!

Did anyone imagine say, 15 years ago, that you would ever read the phrase "compromised tweet"?  Only in the Journal of Avian Vocal Disease, maybe.

At least the 'Compromiser of Tweets' could have let us know who was coming back in that deal.  >:(

Two 1st's and a 2nd.

I really don't get how we have a combined 9 games in hand on Edmonton, Buffalo, and Columbus at this point in the season. Especially when like half of our season has been on back-to-backs.
