Article from cornellbigred.com
Preliminary word from the Oilers' website is that he'll join the Oilers' AHL affiliate in Springfield.
Riley might even get there in time to play in their game against Worcester tomorrow night.
I guess they're hoping to get him on their playoff roster if they qualify.
Looking at the AHL standings, though, that doesn't seem very likely.
For fuck's sake... I thought we really had a shot to keep him for two or even three years.
On the one hand, I'm happy for him and I'm sure he'll succeed at the next level.
On the other hand, I'm pretty bitter about this.
Looking at it realistically, though, I guess it was only a matter of time.
Sigh... good luck, Riley.

I hate April 1. This stuff was funny when I was, like, 7 years old.

I was in a meeting when I read the post and let out an "Aw shit!" before I read down.
Well played, Josh.

He got me for about six seconds. And then I still had to do a Google search, just to be sure.

I was hoping to see how many months, days, hours, minutes and seconds until the Red/White scrimmage, but this is almost as good.

I love the first of April. Not only have I pulled like four different jokes on people today, but then I come here and get fooled by this one. The funny thing is that I was actually coming here to pull off a different stunt, but Josh already beat me to it.

I was sure it was fake, then I saw the links and my heart sank. When they didn't work, I was hopeful and a trip to Edmonton's website and a google search convinced me. Well done.

Yeah, it was the links that got to me after my initial skepticism.

I finally figured out what your moniker means after I saw a bumper sticker spelling it out a couple of months ago.
