Omg i love the knobs impression😂😂😂 omg more of this please! It’s spot on hahaha
quite funny…. except it is so very true. Frederic-13 a disaster & was so obvious to all fans before the signing ($3.8mx8)… & Mangiopane-21 $3.6×2, dumping Holloway/Broberg… the latest dumping of Kulak to get Jarry at 2X price of Skinner… Ingram very risky/lets hope it works… ( Walman $7mx7) looks terrible.. Regula-16 Stastney-7 dumping Stecher for nothing is playing far better… Emberson/Nurse/Bouchard/Stilman a TON of errors… yet he proclaimed that his Defense was rock solid & unquestionable…. and unfortunately Howard/ Tomasek/ Philp/ have not panned out… given up all speed & hitting…… gave Knobs 3yr extension….. so not sure what one would have to do to to get a poor mark as GM.
Lazar & Roslovik have been fine… but that is a min success really… Oil Mgt is just banking on McD to keep the gravy train going for them for 1 more yr…. accountability?
As an ugly American I can honestly say I revel in Oiler agony. To whom much is given, much is expected.
Knoblauch is too smart. He’s under appreciated. His line juggling is masterwork.
