We got 5 PP's in a row. For all that we were -1.I like what Debrusk was saying on the radio. He can't say it on tv. He is right. He says the refs, for some reason, are not calling games evenly this year. Oilers are always on the bad end for the most part.
Some of it is also b/c we refuse to work, but in games we even do "dominate" in the other teams end, the refs will call nothing and then call us on a small ticky tack call.
He is always carrying scrubs. It’s not his fault he passes the puck right to JPs stick and he falls into the goal post.Is it a huge stretch to expect McDavid to carry one relative scrub winger at his salary? (Yes, the team was asking him to carry two for the longest time.)
Kane or Hyman on one wing and someone like Kostin, Holloway etc should be a reasonable ask. He carried Maroon and Kassian at times.
When your best player is making the cap of two top line wingers (when the contract was signed $6M would get you a reasonable top 6 player), you need to be able to spread the wealth a bit.

team f***ing sucks

I'd rather have Jonesy and his cherry picking ass on this team. At least he tried getting greasy goalsIt's really sad how we had better depth in the Hall days. I miss Ryan Jones.
This team can never find the perfect formula. Most teams would kill for our top forwards but everything else on the team is a huge pile of ass. I also miss the 2016-17 team. That was probably the best Oilers team post-Cup run.I'd rather have Jonesy and his cherry picking ass on this team. At least he tried getting greasy goals

Yup, I looked that up this morning after seeing him trend last night on Twitter. Good for him, honestly.I just found out Ethan f***ing Bear is ahead of Foegele in both goals and points per game.
Another Ken Holland trade masterpiece.
More goals than Niemo, Ceci, Murray, Kulak, and Bouchard.
What an embarrassment of a team this year. The moment Kane's injured, this team got f***ed even more. But hey, we're still waiting for Broberg to pan out despite being a WIN NOW type of team. Ken Holland is by far the worst GM in the league.
Mr Magoo, Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles had a better chance to score on the PP than that unit he sent out. Again, Woody is scratching for an answer/spark when he does things like that. I can’t say I blame him.I legit chuckled when Woody threw out McLeod/JP/Holloway as a PP unit... collectively that group has an on-ice shooting pct of ~4%.
He might as well have thrown out Niemo/Murray/Kulak as a PP unit... they'd have just as good of a chance at scoring (yes I realize Murray wasn't even in the game... wouldn't have mattered).

Foegele was f***ing benched during the playoffs and we still think we have something in this player. Seriously, how does almost every acquisition the Oilers make manage to suck complete ass?
Do a real forensic audit on the team. We really thought it couldn't get worse than Chiarelli...

Everyone has kind of sucked 5 on 5 this year by their standards even the top guys.McDavid is probably the best forward in world but I would expect even more from him. This season at 5-on-5 he is -1 (13-14, corsi and fenwick is basically even), has 5+6 in 20 games, which would be less than 50 points for whole season.
Also Draisaitl has been lacking. 5-on-5 Leon is -3 (16-19, so 1 GA/every game!), corsi and fenwick is 45%, 4+5 for 20 games. The numbers are bad.
team f***ing sucks
Timing is everything too. Hey, they gave them gravy ones at the end. WhoopieWe got 5 PP's in a row. For all that we were -1.
excuses
Which games do we "dominate" They are few and far between. We have 3 W's in our last 10. One of them was getting a 3 on 3 W, one of the few aspects we excel at in a game the Oilers treated like their own little personal Stanley Cup while Vegas. 7-2-1 in last 10 hung around even though Oilers were desperate for a W and they were not.
The only time this whole month we got a multiple goal W was against a struggling preds squad. We still gave up 4 goals in that one. To a team that can barely score.
I'm one of the most positive Oiler fans out there. I challenge you to focus on Draisaitl during a game and watch the turn oversWow. When the team loses, the fans lose their mind. Boys better start winning again or this place will resemble a mental asylum. Even more than it already does.
I have. The turnovers result from two things: 1) He's clearly still nursing that ankle injury from the playoffs and 2) he's desperately trying to create offence because without him or McDavid creating something, we don't score. If we had a decent bottom six and he was 100% healthy, the turnovers wouldn't be as egregious. I'm not excusing them, but at the same time, trading him for a far worse player that makes only a million less sounds like frustration rather than logic.I'm one of the most positive Oiler fans out there.

What is your defintion of fine? If it is fine to eeek into the playoffs you are probably right, if it is to actually do soemthing with a full cap team with a couple of the top players in the world then fine is probably the wrong word.The Oilers will be just fine. Too much drama here.
Fine I say. go buy some FTXWhat is your defintion of fine? If it is fine to eeek into the playoffs you are probably right, if it is to actually do soemthing with a full cap team with a couple of the top players in the world then fine is probably the wrong word.
