HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....oh sh**, that was awesome, the article was brilliant, especially for a Shelbyvillian, but this rebutle is absoltely genius..........priceless game day chatter.

Good times

@DallyLamma

Don't make excuses for drinking the Haterade.. This was a clear, pre-meditated FAIL. Well, it will be after tonight.

I assume this the result of that bet where the winner of the previous game in the Battle makes the GDT? Wow. You guys have obviously been bottling up material for a loooooong time now! Fortunately, you should have *plenty* of time to generate material for the next one.

P.S. The more smack that comes out of your mouth now, the sweeter it will be to watch you swallow it tonight!

Well Flames fans, you guys were doomed from the start. Adam and Eve must have been Flames fans because they were stupid enough to eat the apple. If they were Oiler fans, they would have skewered the snake and had a bbq.

Wanye for Prime Minister!!

Yes. One can only wonder what the Shames would do with better first round picks. Let us take a quick look at the two teams recent first draft selections. If we go with the assumption that not even Flames Management would screw up a 1st overall (I said ASSUMPTION) the past two years will be exempt.

2009 - Paajarvi / Tim Erixon

2008 - Eberle / Greg Neimisz

2007 - Gagner / Mikey Backlund

2006 - Petry / Leland Irving

2005 - Cogliano / Matt Pelech

2004 - Dubnyk / Kris Chucko

Wow. Wasn't that Fun! Notice I had to add the Flames guys first names so they were somewhat recognizable. Now, I know what you are thinking, Cletus, Clem, Zeke or whatever the flip your Flame Lovin' name is: "but y'all sucked and had better picks than us guys, did". And to a point that is true, but not as much as you think. Over this 6-year span your Flamers picked an average 25th overall and the Oil picked 20th overall, not exactly a serf and lord feudal system (whoops forgot my audience: po' folks and rich 'uns).

So, yes continue to rave on about your team that has sucked less than us. I agree you are average, the top wrung of the mediocre! But our day will come and sadly the writing is on the wall and the shelves are bare in the City of Cows. And what is funny is you have no one to blame but yourselves.

That light at the end of the tunnel, well sometimes it is a train.

PS Wanye. Please allow whoever tweeted the "cheeseburger" comment to write an entire article. Pure GOLD!

Between keeping an eye on that "Dez Jones" loser trolling Taylor Hall on Twitter last night (challenging a pro athlete to a bar fight - you gotta be pretty damn stupid to do that) and anticipating Wanye's GDB (clap clap good sir), I can truthfully say this has been a pretty awesome last 24 hours.*

*Good god I need a real life.

For bean-counting, you'd think facts would be important.

Review both Chicago and Pittsburghs point totals within 3 years AFTER their 3rd high (or lottery) pick.

The 3rd year was where the big jump started. We're 2 yrs removed from Hall, 1 yr from RNH, and have another lottery pick coming. At the end of Halls RFA contract, the Oilers will be competitive with any team in the league, and likely be a playoff team.

Do you honestly believe Calgary can fill the gaps on their roster in 3 seasons to make them better than they are now? Kiprusoff, Iginla are already on the back 9, and Baertschi (sp) may end up being a great prospect, but not Art Ross/Rocket Richard trophy winner.

We already have two 30 goal scorers in Edmonton that we didn't have 3 seasons ago. Where will Calgary replace their *stifledlaughter*offense from?

Ah yes... Wes Mantooth, perpetually #2

"I'm going to take your mom, Dorothy Mantooth out for a nice seafood dinner & NEVER call her again!"

Suck it.... #2!

Oh yea, enjoy you're drating your 4th "elite" player in a row and cheering on his calder winnig potential in a yet another losing season for the Oil.

Not bad, not bad.

First we dont "pound" are Red Bull we "crush it" up in Shelbyville

Second our jerseys are no worse the that horse's head with snot flying out of it's nose!

Oilers will at least get another FIST pick. Five points tonight for Nuuuuuge. Iggy goes home with an owie and Kipper stops ninety per cent of shots fired his way in a preview of future Alberta battles. Take heart Flames fans, at least you are not the Leafs. They REALLY are massive SUCKAGE.

Really? You don't strive for what we have. Let's look at '04 and '06.

In 2004 Calgary went on a run. Fans spontaneously went to the streets. The Red Mile was born. It was pure joy and most important it was original.

2006 and Oiler fans do what? The Copper Kilometre? The only difference is you decided to stab each other. Dynamite.

HaaaHaaa, Gold. That was a good one!

We will enjoy that 4th player very much so. Meanwhile enjoy Parise and his NMC for the next 5 years! If you land him.

I can honestly say that the only time I ever heard Whyte Ave referred to as anything other than Whyte Ave during the Cup run was while I was in Calgary. I really think that was a made up thing from Calgaretards.

Where do we go to watch you guys swallow?

Exactly my point but we didn't make up your name, that was all you. We did do the celebration. Which you tried to copy. The stabbing was your own twist. Stabbing each other during a celebration. Who is retarded?

The one point from the article the most overlooked is the importance of the Ryans. Without Ryans on your team you can not win. It is a historical fact.

i dont get why flames fan even argue, i laugh at the fact you all think your in the playoffs this year and even if u make it your done in 4 games, ridiculous lol

GO FLAMES GOOOOO HOES!!!!!

Taylor Hall may have fire in his belly, but when he does crashing in the boards and all, the only burn he will feel is the broken bones in his ankle, knee or head. The Nuge is already twice broken.

Calgary = Joan Rivers: barely managing to look like a real person, only a matter of time until the minor surgeries just don't cut it anymore.

Edmonton = Kate Upton: Mmmmmmmmmmm

Still you, Jeff. I dont think you understood what I wrote. There was no Kopper Kilometer or Blue Mile. There is only Whyte Ave. It isnt a name we copied from Calgary. 82nd Avenue is actually called Whyte Ave. All the time.

I know its been a while since anything good happened in Calgary, but do you actually think that you guys invented the concept of people congregating in front of bars in 2004? If that's the case then every city that's ever been to the Cup final in history probably owes Calgary some royalties.

This game is actually a no brainer, the Flames will be tired, (back to back) they can only go on adrenaline for so long. They will not be able to keep up with the speed of the Oilers and there will be a number of odd man rushes leading to penalties (#1 PP), sublime goaltending (Kipper), and glorious goals (Ebs, Hall, RNH). By the end of the game it will be clear, we just entered the next phase of the rebuild, and it is wonderful.

Going back further don't forget other first round errors...Stillman, Daniel Tkachuk, Rico Fata, Brent Krahn, Trevor Kidd. Basically every year they had a top 10-12 pick. Thank god we hit the odd basehit in later rounds and trades. Amazing we don't suck worse then we currently do. Sven looks like a keeper though, hope you get to see him tonight. Cheers Edmonites (thanks Mike Tyson).

Your envy of Calgary is so obvious. We're the Tyler Durdens to you. We look how you want to look, we f&%$ how you want to f&%$.

But you're not, and you're very, very pissed off.

You see you guys try to pick up shifts so you can come down to Calgary and pretend to live a life that's foreign to you.

You go to our bars and see all the hot chicks and buy them drinks. It goes nowhere, you run out of money and go back home to screw your fat, ugly broads (who happen to be your first cousins).

You end up having kids with web feet and stunted growth. You tell your buddies that all the girls in Calgary are snobs and everyone is pretentious. You say things like Eat Sh&% Calgary.

But deep down you want to be us, even for just one day. You want to live to good life and not worry when Money Mart opens. You just want to be Calgary so much that you end up hating us because you will never be this good.

Back in 2004 you all put on Flames jerseys you were living the dream. You were finally Flames fans. Some of the more resentful/mongoloid amongst you started writing why all these Flames jerseys? We can't cheer for them. But you did. En masse.

And you're reminded of it every time you look at your retarded, web footed kids and grossly rotund cousin/wife.

Then you see your own web feet.

Gregor or someone who knows stuff

Can you explain how Sven is still up? This was an emergency call was it not? I'd think that they've had plenty of time to get someone from Abottsford by now.

Team canada scouts will be in attendance. Golf club reps. Boat salesmen.

The BOA indeed.

Go to "Debbie does the Oilers" oh wait.. that was the original title, I forgot it was changed to the more attractive... "Debbie does a dozen Mullets..."

Thanks 'Tooth. If that were to happen, re: Parise, I would most certainly enjoy it.

I have to say, most of you Oiler fans are a much more down to earth bunch than the idiots in Riotville.

But everyone in Edmonton thought there would be significant improvement this year with Hall, Eberle & RNH in the line up. I'm just saying, ya you'd better be pushin for a playoff spot this time next year - at what point for you would it be considered a failure?

I'm not disagreeing that Calgary will have holes. I'm well aware of the issues that could face this team in a few years. Too many Sutter years of playing for the now has hurt us, but already we're making strides at improving the farm & prospects. Difference is we're not having to tank to do it. We got a damn good prospect in Baertschi & didn't have to suck to get him - where the decision on who to draft could be made by a monkey.

I never said Baertschi would be Rocket Richard winner or any kind of trophy for that matter. Do you have to have a guy win that to be competitive & push for a Stanley cup or something?

The point I'm making is that this group in Edmonton hasn't shown me anything yet. Columbus was a cap team this year & has drafted high for years - there are no guarantees of anything.

Since the lockout:

Edmonton's played 4 playoff series / Calgary's played in 4 playoff series

Edmonton's won 3 playoff rounds / Calgary's won 0 playoff rounds

Edmonton's played in 24 playoff games / Calgary's played in 26 playoff games

Edmonton's won 15 playoff games / Calgary's won 12 playoff games

Edmonton's missed playoff for 5 years going on 6 / Calgary's missed the playoff for 2 years going on 3.

The 6 year rebuild has been hard to watch, but I'd rather have hope for the future than be stuck cheering for slighlty below average hockey team like the Flames.

It also seem...you can't win with Ryans either, at least not often.

Ogden---Sven is up till we get 2 injured players back, then he's back to the Dub. So says Feaster.

At one point I lived on 82nd ave...Whyte Ave rocks.

Wanye you forgot to mention the generosity we have shown to the "the worst monsters in human history".

First we taught them how to play hockey, and showed them what a dynasty looks like in the 80's with A LOT of tough love. A LOT. World class butt whooping.

Then we gave them a Cup so they would quit whining by trading the best player ever, and pretending to lose to the Kings.

Next we bred and raised two of their three best players, we gave them Glencross, and they still can't win the Cup.

Disgraceful.

Okay they birthed Taylor, but they had to send him to Kingston because they couldn't handle it and tried to keep him away from us. Another fail.

It's too sad to continue.

I hope to all the lords above us that the Flames finish 9th! heck wait a minute did feaster trade that pick away for a donut this year or next year?

may you sign Olli Joke inin again to a 5 year no trade clause contract and hang on to Kipper and Iggy until the end of time.

may camelleri add fungus to your locker room. and your saddledome boards are plastard with ads for viagra, centrum 50+, and senior care facilities.

and as expected when your team tanks - the "fans" will all of the sudden look really similar to empty seats, which will make the US economy "BAIL" out look like a warm summer day. and likely your future is a great as the Nevada real estate market right now.

It is all good for us - cuz when we buy up seats for the next decade of BOA blowouts in the saddledome, flames fans will be paying out their own pockets for someone to please take the tickets away.

As per Feaster's comments on a CGY radio station, by the 3rd emergency the team can dip into the junior ranks. Feast waited until the 4th E.CU. so he can opt to send back 1 AHLer 1st. When the 2nd regular is ready to return, the junior player has to go back to his junior team. Unless, I believe, they keep him past his 9 games and burn the 1st year on his contract. CGY couldn't possibly do that because we already have the maximum 50 contracts.

Jeff, really good stuff. Funny as hell. You have an obvious talent. Don't waste it. You could do this professionally. BTW I told your Mom the same thing and she took my advice. You're Dad's name is John isn't it?

Enjoy 9th place Calgary!

Can't we all just agree that Vancouver is terrible?

Son, our teams play in a League where fans require intelligence.

Whose Gonna Do it? You Jeff Lebowski? You Vintage Flame?

We have more responsibility than you can fathom.

You weep for Cammalleri, Iginla and the rest of the Shames

But you don't know what we know, that your prospects are suspects and doomed to fail.

So while we as Oil Fans, are annoying to you, we make sense.

And deep down in places you don't want to think about - you know that it is true.

We use names like Hallsy, Ebs and Nuge. They are the backbone of our team. And you use them as Punchlines.

I haven't the time or inclination to explain myself to fans of a team who have no future and wonder why it is happening.

Better just to thank the Oil for being the one exciting team in the Province or pick up an Oilers Banner and Stand Post.

But either way I don't give a damn of what you think your team is entitled to.

Lebowski, YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!

I have to say I'm impressed with the chatter on here, good old fashioned ribbing between 2 non-playoff rivals. I'm impressed with how classy the comments are from the Flames contigent...I guess I sometimes pair you with the classless Canucks fans in my head...I'll try to stop that. That being said, I can NOT stand that Vintage Flame guy...like I really hate him and I've never met him.

That being said, if the Flames keep the top pick this year and don't trade it off, they might start having a little bit of a farm team worth looking at...there's no doubting Sven is a talent, but outside him I'm not impressed.

I'm going to be at the game tonight...in the nosebleeds where the true die-hards come out no less...this should be fun tonight.

Cheers,

Jonathan

Wanye, somehow your travels in the east have expanded your creative mind (Maybe its the fish), but that article was brilliant.

Yes. Yes we can.

I Hate everything Calgary. Except the girls i leave a little bit of Edmonton in every time i reluctantly have to go there.

Bashing aside- I will give the this, that Sven dude is a player. Its too bad his talents will waste in Horse crap city.

He would look awesome lined up with real Talent like Hall-Eberle and RNH. Not Gramps Iginla and Ollie Jokeanin. Now he reminds me of everything Calgary.. OVER RATED.

I can.

Agreed!

Bought a cheap Bargain bin Flamers T shirt for tonights game. 5 bucks to the the best idea as to what i should do with that god awful piece of Crap during the game.

Just making the playoffs good enough for you Cowtowners ??

Not Us.. We build with the intent to WIN not contend.

Hey Feaster ! You slob... Just sayin...

Woooh! Wait. I must have mossed something. The flames made up celebrating in the streets after a sports victory. I guess this never happened in Europe years ago when soccer was being played.

Also I may be wrong on this, but wasnt the red mile right outside pengrowth. Meaning people were celebrating on there way home after the game. In Edmonton we all got together on a place independent of the arena to celebrate. Not just simply cause it was convenient.

Also no edmontonian ever called it the copper kilometer. That was the media, and most likely out of COWTOWN.

You should be careful about the 'girls' comments, all of CGY's street walkers come from Edmonton. They want to be paid in cash not cigarettes and booze (they'll go buy those on their own thank you). Besides, they're probably your sisters and cousins so, you know... gross!

As for Sven, better one wasted talent than 3 or 4... oh, and don't forget your soon to be #5 top prospect. ...Everything Edmonton...NOT RATED!!!

Oh, well said. I think it's hands down; everyone hates Van and those two aliens!

Not yet Kent. But on that one magical day where Kesler finally cant hold the canucks on his back and the sedins show that they cant handle physical hockey the province will unite, the stars will align and Flames and Oilers fans will sing and laugh together for about two minutes. Maybe an hour if another riot breaks out.

You don't know if the team is going to start Winning or not. Remember the Sens in the 90's With all of their high picks. Nothing is for sure.
