The Edmonton Oilers fired their coach today. I've already forgotten his name.

Hatcher?

Cuban?

Dinklage?



Something like that.

Dallas Eakins. I had no idea he was their coach. Vaguely remember him as a player.

what a prawn

 

[Mudcat]

I see where I got Cuban from. Cuban - Dallas.

Eakins - Dinklage.

Hatcher



It all comes together.

Fokken weird tho, this period of having Toronto teams winning all the time.

Raptors even lose an all-star player - which should have all that much more impact in basketball ---> they keep winning.

The Toronto thing for awhile has been one little injury - like maybe the Blue Jays lose their 3rd baseman and #7 hitter - and suddenly things drop off a cliff - and fans are saying that you can't use injuries as an excuse - because everybody gets injuries - (but we do consider it a valid excuse and maybe next year).

But no, Raptors keep winning.

And the fokken Leafs tho.

What's wrong with our negroes?

 

[bacon]

I don't understand who is making the plays. Lowry, I guess.

 

[Mudcat]

Of course Lowry. Know it. Live it. Love it.



Leafs have been on fire since Salute-gate.

I wonder if that is a universally understood reference. Salute-gate. Prolly not.

Well believe me, it's a thing.

 

[bacon]

Well I mean in the East all you need is a little chemistry to wrap up a 3 or 4 seed.

I am glad you fellas are gathering joy from their early success. I hope it continues and that that they come out of east to get bitch slapped by whoever comes out of the West where they actually play professional basketball.

[Mudcat]

Oh I'm gathering joy alright. I'm gathering joy right up the wazoo.
