Oilers extend Draisaitl

Sexual assault enabler Stan Bowman made his first half decent move as Oilers GM by signing Leon Draisaitl to an eight-year contract extension valued at $112 million. This new deal, which begins in the 2025-26 season and extends through 2033, sets a new benchmark in NHL history with a salary cap hit of $14 million per season, the highest in the league.


Draisaitl has been instrumental in their recent successes, including leading the team to Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final last year alongside Connor McDavid. The German forward, who was the league's MVP in 2020, was poised to enter unrestricted free agency next summer, making this extension a crucial move for the Oilers.


General Manager Stan Bowman (who let Kevin Beach get assaulted under his watch and then covered it up because the team was on a cup run during his time with the Blackhawks and for some reason is allowed to be part of the NHL despite his clear lack of concern for his players) emphasized Draisaitl's commitment to the team and his desire to bring a Stanley Cup to Edmonton as central to the extension. The deal ensures that Draisaitl remains a cornerstone of the Oilers' lineup, continuing his impressive career in Edmonton where he has already amassed 850 points over 719 regular-season games.


This contract extension not only secures Draisaitl's future with the Oilers but also sets the stage for upcoming negotiations with McDavid, who will be eligible for an extension next July.

Olympic Athletes Use 10, 000 Condoms in 3 Days. Olympic Committee Says Pull Out Method Will Have to Suffice

Image
The Olympic spirit is alive and well. Unfortunately, the condom supply is not. After reports surfaced that roughly 10, 000 condoms were used in just three days inside the Olympic Village, officials at the International Olympic Committee are reportedly scrambling to address what analysts are calling “fucking like rabbits" While races are being tracked down to the thousandth of a second, condom inventory apparently was not. Sources say emergency meetings were held to discuss conservation strategies. Among the proposals floated: staggered social schedules, mandatory ice baths for anyone making prolonged eye contact, and what one anonymous official described as a “back to basics approach.” That approach? The pull out method. “We believe in athlete adaptability, ” the spokesperson said to the crowd of reporters visibly shaken granted probably from espresso. “If you can adjust mid race at 40 kilometers per hour, you can adjust here.” he exclaimed. The Olympic Village has alw...

Druski, Caleb Williams and Jared McCain? NBA Gives a Big "Fuck you We Make the Rules” and Puts an Actual NBA Guard in the Celebrity 3-Point Contest

Image
In a bold display of authority the NBA looked at a perfectly normal Celebrity 3-Point Contest featuring Druski, Caleb Williams and Plaqeboymax and said, “You know what this needs? An actual NBA guard.” Not a retired one. Not a G League cameo. A real, rotation-level professional shooter. Because balance is for other leagues. Fans were initially excited about the concept. Celebrities bricking shots. A quarterback discovering depth perception in real time. A comedian heat-checking from the corner like it is a pickup run at LA Fitness. It was supposed to be lighthearted. Fun. Mildly competitive in a “please hit rim” kind of way. Then the league apparently decided that what this exhibition truly lacked was a man who does this for a living. Sources say the decision came after someone in the league office whispered, “Technically he’s a celebrity.” And just like that, the spirit of fair competition was escorted out of the building. Nothing screams All-Star Weekend like watching ent...

US Women’s National Hockey Team Declines Trump’s White House Visit, Opts for Western Wall Visit Instead

Image
The post championship playbook is usually predictable as an American: win gold, board a flight to Washington, smile on the steps of the White House, and pose for awkward group photos that end up on cereal boxes. This time, however, the U.S. women’s national hockey team reportedly charted a different course, declining an invitation to President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address due to “scheduling conflicts” and instead commemorating their title with a visit to the Western Wall. Sources say the real conflict was deciding between a traditional White House photo op and a rigorous day of birth right trip style sightseeing.  Hilary Knight, captain for Team USA said it just “feels right.” “I always dreamt of representing the blue and white, ” she added, pausing only to adjust her medal for maximum shine. “If I could melt this medal down into a shekel, I would.” The remark left her teammates wondering if this was metaphoric or just a subtle hint at futur...
