Former Oiler Coach/Player Craig Mactavish's advice for Oilers..." Time to put your balls on the crest"

[Three On Zero]

Mactavish was an Oiler, why would he be telling the team to teabag their own jerseys? Bizarre

 

[Anglesmith]

He said the word balls and the word crest and hoped that it would lead to something logical.

It doesn't, but those words have strong enough connotations that it doesn't actually matter in terms of knowing what he's trying to say.

He could've just said "Balls. Crest." People would've figured it out.

Fascinating.

 

[elmaco]

We are in the soyboy front runner era. Might have no balls to put up

Did Craig MacTavish just assume we have balls?

 

[BCNate]

Guess they are getting desperate if they feel the need to rub their balls on the crest.

 

[Bozo Nicholson]

Gretzky must’ve just constantly had his balls on his crest.

He probably wore an Oilers jersey as underwear.

 

[Drytoast]

Nothing like fans from non playoffs teams or from teams that were eliminated to chime in and give the Oilers advice

Oh I'm sure your hockey prowess is an extension of your teams success or lack of it!

Thank God Edmonton has canovin as a fan because lord knows where they would be without his expertise...

More importantly is what the hell went on in that oilers dressing room in the 80s?

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Don’t walk on the logo, but teabagging it is encouraged. Weird organizational culture, but ok.

What a weird scene that would be if the Oilers players took MacTavish literally.

Indecent exposure arrests in 3….2…1….

 

[Il Stugotz]

One year they won the Cup Gretz had 43 points and MacTavish had 1 assist in 19 games, so I do consider him an expert on this sort of situation

"Time to put your balls on the crest"​

Does anyone know what it means or stands for? I dont get the metaphor or the euphemism.

Don't forget that Mess played hard (read headshots) and partied hard.

Maybe what he meant to say was "Time to wear your heart on your sleeve"

... but that's just the way it came out?

I don't know, I'm not a doctor.

 

[NailsHoglander]

What is the Oilers obsession with balls? Running around speering players in the balls and now this.

 

[Oilslick941611]

Apparently this is an old Mark Messier quote that Mactavish would like to use as advice to the current Oiler team whom he feels is getting outplayed by the Canucks.

he play tough and not passive, like they have been. Hit to kill and shoot and to score.

 

[Javaman]

So, is this evidence that Simpson is neutral and objective in his commentary on this series?

Never mind. I already know the answer.

At least we've not been saddled with Singh and DeBrusk.

 

[rea]

WE ARE ALL OILERS!

 

[Dust]

He just wants them to do more of this, since this is Leadership.

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

Not sure if kinky or fetish.

Old men say weird things part #67094092

Like- I get what he’s saying, but balls are famously sensitive. I would not want my balls on my crest in the event of a solid body check, you dig?

The whole balls vs. p***y dichotomy is fascinating, because “he’s got balls” is supposedly tough, but balls, again, are sensitive. “Dont be a p***y”, meanwhile- my man, p***yes push out babies, that’s metal AF.

Anyways, mods will probably take this down, but they shouldn’t. It’s a dumb quote, the visualization makes me shudder, but I get what these morons are trying to say.

 

[BayStBullies]

You'll have to hide that crest from Derek Ryan...

 

[tarheelhockey]

Playing good = having balls. Because clearly a manly man is better than a less manly man. Or better than woman? That is what people refer to when they talk about toxic masculinity. Quotes like this one.

I don't expect it from a dude like Messier, but others should know better than to keep requoting him.

If this is satire, it’s so good that I can’t tell the difference.

If you’re serious, get a grip man.

 

[HanSolo]

Edmonton prevailed through the mighty power of balls

 

[NyQuil]

 

[Cup or Bust]

Oilers deserve credit for tonight's win. They had to work hard for 60 minutes and had all the pressure on them to win.

 

[GoldenSeal]

He means Play Like Pickard

Nothing like fans from non playoffs teams or from teams that were eliminated to chime in and give the Oilers advice

You're so very welcome!

 

[Nogatco Rd]

Sounds like something that might be easier for a guy Messier's age to do.

Literally lol’ed

 

[Nogatco Rd]

No idea what you just said that has anything to do with what I said.

Just for your info tho, I've been following the Oilers for 31 years non stop
