Observations on the 2013 Oilers

See Calgary flame and Edmonton oilers last night, someone may ask, if potential Edmonton oilers won't realize. This is a team full of potential, but has been in a reconstruction mode since the days of Chris Pronger and have very little success developing young players into the superstar.


Oilers has through the generation of cheap jersey - it is great to see Jordan Eberle, Taylor hall, Ryan and jia's new Hopkins Schwartz, play an attractive brand of hockey but I think is early oilers 80 's still too early. Last night a aging problem and full of Calgary flames beat young oilers of ramming hockey scored the goal again and again, this shows good does not necessarily mean victory.

Update: NHL and Union Report to Mediation

I guess just based on the past history and the tone of the now the way we play, this is probably won't produce settlement... This is not like a hysterical couples do divorce or commercial disputes, one party or the other is been completely impractical. This is two very complex and experienced group.

I just don't see how many intermediary can be brought to the negotiating table in addition to remind them what is at stake. Regularly. Who knows how much seed plants intermediary may eventually bear fruit... It is difficult to predict...
 
Intermediary often me a mechanism, the temper can cooling, and the operation from unrealistic ideas can be to look at the reality is... It sounds like they almost stalemate... Both sides have their own ideas and their goals, both sides can accept a set of Suggestions, the other party insisted that is necessary. We really are in a kind of stagnation.
