why look at the glass half-full when you can look at it half-empty?

Cause a half empty glass means you are closer to ordering another round

So 3 games under 500, and about to be 5 games after we lose these next two. Season will be over by American Thanksgiving. How is chia not fired yet?

Pathetic, simply, utterly, pathetic.

This bet of mine is, sadly, looking better and better. I guess the potential silver lining is that maybe we wise up and fire the GM and coach, who are both utter failures, and can start rebuild 4.0 next year with new leadership.

This thread? Absolutely, I agree.

Good news everybody! We still have a 13% chance of making the playoffs!

So you're saying there is a chance!

Not fair at all.

This is a Chia lineup not going far. We have Nuge at career best rate, we have Drai, McD, Maroon producing as Normal. Lucic doing whatever it is he usually does. Talbot playing great.

You can't watch a game like yesterday without realizing that there is a quantum leap between this current team and the best ones who have all scouted our tendencies now. This game was being taken apart limb from limb. Can't blame officiating, or anything, and the scoreline was flattering.

Oilers fans will always get a second rate team because this has been a managerial country club since the 80's.

The blues get massively better in offseason with additions like Schenn, Oilers get worse. These are the differences we face now. Not just tht the Oilers got worse, but other teams got better.

4 points out of a wild card. Over 60 games left.

I love how thats your only point of confidence is that there are games left.

Schenn helped a lot but the biggest improvement?
Mike Yeo.
Since he took over last year they have gone
36-13-3 in the regular season.

And 6 teams ahead of us to get a spot...

and only 4 points back

 

[CycloneSweep]

and only 4 points back

The teams above us have a game in hand so its more like 6 cause not all of them are going to lose.

luckily we play a ton of "4-point" games down the road

94 points made playoffs last year. We have 16.

That's 78 points in 63 games for a team that has put together a single 2 game win streak.

you clearly think they're done...why do you continue to watch then?

sure...but you're giving up

 

[CycloneSweep]

I am giving up as much as the team has.

that what you see?
I don't see a team that's given up

then it's just a poorly built club with no depth and questionable coaching decisions?

sounds like the usual oiler recipe for missing the playoffs.

Its amazing that our depth is as bad as it is and we have been rebuilding for over a decade.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Since 2007 (When the rebuild kind of started)
These are our draft picks with more than 50 games played outside of the first round
Omark, Hartikainen, Lander, Davidson, Pitlick, Marincin, Rieder, Slepyshev
4 are in the NHL right now.
1 plays for us.

Yeah, that is a 101 point pace for a full season. Not going to happen. Not a chance. Not even the smallest inkling of a chance. We have a much, MUCH, better chance of finishing in the bottom-5, and a lottery pick, than we do making the playoffs.
