I give props to the creator of this meme for sucking up to me and my love of the greatest 11 year old the NHL has ever seen. Luckily for Lil Nugey the added responsibility will also bring new perks вЂ“ as seen by the bump in his bed time. As Nugey grows into the first line centre (McDavid aside) that we all think he will be he will have more ice time, and responsibility, thrown on his plate. 5) HEвЂ™S GROWING UP SO FASTДЄs Uncle Ben (SpidermanвЂ™s uncle not the rice guy) once said, вЂњwith great power comes great responsibility.вЂќ I think that responsibilityВ is what this meme is all about. The biggest star the league has seen since #87 is coming to Edmonton and it pissed everyone off except us. I think my favourite part of the Oilers winning the lottery (aside from Toronto sinking into a suck baby cry hole) was Gary BettmanвЂ™s face as he was told who won. Who would have ever imagined that the Oilers would win this draft lottery? I watched it and I still donвЂ™t believe that things turned out as they did. ThereвЂ™s no big proclamations of what вЂњwillвЂќ happen but there actually appears to be a plan in place to make things happen. I think that arrogance is the reason that Oilers fans are appreciating the вЂњjust get things doneвЂќ approach by the new regime. Unfortunately, every single one of those plans fell through, the swarm sucked, and the Oilers were destined for the basement once again. When Dallas Eakins was hired, he came in guns blazing with sharp quotes and big aspirations. This entry made us laugh based on a few differentВ levels. I think we all went to sleep happy on that fateful Saturday. I rewound my PVR 38 times to make sure that I wasnвЂ™t having some kind of alcohol inducedВ hallucinations. I was ready for Dylan Strome or someone like thatвЂ¦В Then it happened. Draft 1st overall for the fourth time in six years? No chance. For me, I didnвЂ™t even plan on watching the lottery because I had alreadyВ assumed there was no chance that the Oilers would win it.

I think almost every Oilers fan can tell you where they were on April 18th, 2015. Let Toronto throw their jerseys on the ice вЂ“ itвЂ™s a tradition they can have. This simple facts gives me hope that the flurries of falling jerseys will go the way of the Ulanov in Edmonton. For the first time in years the Oilers have experience behind the bench and in the press box. Will the Oilers still have struggles? Of course they will, but at least there seems to be a plan in place with a newВ management regime that hasnвЂ™t been here throughout this whole mess. One of the lowest points in the last 10 years has to be the high frequency in which jerseys were getting chucked on the ice. ThatвЂ™s why I love meme contests though вЂ“ more people canВ enter and the result is alwaysВ hilarious and sometimes a little bitВ twisted. Why do I say most? WellвЂ¦В Some of you took your memes into the gutter, and while I may have had a self chuckle you know why I didnвЂ™t load them up. As always, IвЂ™ll be loading most of the entries onto our Facebook page.

So much butthurt meme
