from Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal,
Slap some lipstick and put some earrings on a pig, and it’s still a porker.
Even if the Edmonton Oilers do look better on a lot of nights under new coach Todd McLellan, and they’ve lost 16 games by a goal, and they’ve seldom been steam-rolled but for the odd butt-kicking by the Canadiens and Islanders, the standings say they look the same.
And, that’s the only thing that counts.
God almighty, No. 30, again.
“It’s almost like a terminal illness,” said TSN commentator Craig Button, former Calgary GM.
As some sarcastic fan said Saturday night, “Welcome home.”
Sad but true.
