Why Oiler's fans shouldn't be concerned with Taylor Hall's Hart Trophy

By
This.....Everybody understood, Hall HAD to be gone prior to training camp, you can gush all over his Hart win now, but back then his attitude had been identified as the #1 thing the Oilers needed to move in order to be successful....and though everyone hoped to get more....IT WORKED!

Like magic, the cloud lifted from Edmonton and descended on Jersey where people are forgetting he neither played very well or was very well liked his first year...

Hall came in with a different attitude this year, one he never would have been forced to adopt had he NOT been traded, and the Oilers failings for last season need to be placed squarely at the feet of ONE MAN

Connor McDavid.....EVERYONE gives him a pass when he is the FIRST guy who should have been held accountable,

This guy's main concern in the first part of the season was upsetting the team's lines because HE wanted the team's 2nd line center (Who HAD to play there) on HIS wing

Huh? He's supposed to be the best, and the captain, he shouldn't need to screw up the lines in order to be successful, and he is supposed to do what is best for the TEAM, not HIMSELF

So he mumbles excuses all year, seemingly half-interested, but probably more concerned with counting his new found wealth, then as soon as the team is unlikely to contend for
a playoff spot......NOW he turns on the passion, "Why?" reporters ask? 
What is this newfound spark you are playing with?

"I'm playing for the Art Ross now"

Yeah, he admitted it.

AND NOBODY HELD HIM ACCOUNTABLE

McDavid is turning out to be the worst leader you could ask for, 

There isn't a single poster who can deny anything I've said here, IT ALL HAPPENED

So, go ahead and blame an injured defenseman, trade 10th overall, blame your GM for a move that, at the time, NEEDED to happen....a move that WORKED

Until McDavid got paid and decided he was more interested in Art Ross's than Stanley Cups

Go ahead, deny anything I've said here is true, 

YOU CAN'T because YOU KNOW it is, it's not like anything here was a secret,

The Oiler's problem last year was leadership, on the ice McDavid became a poster boy for "Too much too soon" and off the ice......well, you've still got Katz

It's too bad Rick Tochett doesn't play anymore, I would say acquire him and let him do to McDavid what he did to Jagr all those years ago

NHL NEWS:Jaramir Jagr retires? GOOD! Ever hear the story about Tochett punching Jagr out at practice?

By
So, Jaromir Jagr is finally calling it a day huh?  The great elder statesman of hockey finally feels he has nothing more to give to his beloved fans and adoring next generation of players? Oh BS! His gambling debts are finally paid off! Jarg was a selfish "me first" guy who sold his teams and people who made big financial investments in him down the river. He almost broke the Washington Capitals by accepting a gargantuan annual salary from them, then deciding that because it was guaranteed, why should he have to earn it? He already earned it with the Penguins!  What?!! Were they expecting him to earn it twice? It's this shockingly sociopathic thinking that the league has tried to make us forget once it figured out he was going to hold some permanent records and was therefore un-erasable. "Look! Look at the mullet!" The NHL has screamed over the past several years, wanting so badly for long-time NHL followers to forget the twisted thought proc...

VANCOUVER CANUCKS!! How's that "Re-build on the fly going?" Time for this team to "Own" it's problems

By
Remember last season? The one before maybe? I doubt it.  Psychiatrists say that extream boredom over a prolonged period can cause long term memory loss and actual brain damage if the mind isn't positively engaged at some point. In light of that, just concentrate on getting those mashed peas into your mouth, I'll assume the answer is "Nyaha..." No biggie, there really isn't much worth remembering, if you followed the Cancuks recently you have probably considered calling up the front office and demanding to be put on the payroll, because you can see no other logical reason to subject yourself to this drudgery. In fact, I'm willing to guess that if you remember much of anything it's not the stuff on the ice that caught your eye, more likely it was the noise from the stands that remains tattooed on your poor gray matter. "Tanking is for losers!" "Baertschi is going to break out for 30!" "Erickson is just what the twins need!...

Why the Boss RC 202 looper is better than the 505 and how it helps the creative process.

By
With the Boss RC 202 Looper, there is both good news and bad news Bad news first? Ok... Sounds like poo 16-bit digital mud farts in my opinion going under standard with sound quality is stupid, because the people using this aren't guitar players looking to have chords back up their solos at the local unemployment office talent show , the people who buy this (me) are writing songs in a studio environment and would prefer not to have to re-track things But the good news is this: it doesn't matter, this thing is magic. EXCELLENT creative/writing tool. Also, this is awesome for DJ sets. If your live DJ mixer has an FX loop then this is all you need for Live Remixing. And the front end FX cover all the standard DJ FX for non-remix standard set FX. I do a lot of TV cues, that have pretty standard formats. So this thing has allowed me to make full use of my Korg Volcas, which are a pain in the ass to integrate. But with this thing, I track em' out part by part sticking to ...
