Oilers lost in April :duck:. He didn't play in a single season since he won the Hart. Because no one gives a fukk about the World Championships. Bet you he'll play in 2026 though

If the tournament mattered so much, they'd be there right?? :mjgrin: You think the IIHF would start the tournament in April if it was so important to the best players in the world??

Remind me which tournament caused a lockout??? It wasn't the IIHF WCs :mjgrin:
