GDT: Coyotes @ Oilers 7pm/mt

[PaPaDee]

Meaningless game between 2 horrible clubs... I think I'll find something better to do.

 

[Summary]

I've got a feeling he doesn't really have the passion anymore. Maybe he feels it's time to take a break, possibly for a reason we don't know (just speculating). And why not get yourself fired when you make the full salary until the end of the contract that way.

Passion is the perfect word here as a coach that was fully invested would've had some good rants about the officiating before the season was lost. Also the lack of progress in any individual players show me there's a lack of actual "coaching" going on. The only player I see that's better than last year is Nurse and most of that happened in the offseason.

I'm sure there's a paint drying competition on somewhere.

Thank the deities for video games.

I predict the yotes will score on their first shot on goal.

wonder what the record is.
read in the paper the Oilers have given up a goal on the first shot 13 times this year.
13!

It could be that he just knows that he and his staff are set up to be on the chopping block shortly after game 82 ends, and probably isn't all that invested in burning himself out for a team that's not likely to keep him around for next year.

Not saying it's the right attitude to have or that he doesn't deserve it, but it's just human nature. As much as we bitch and moan about how disappointing a year it's been, it's probably been 10 times as much for that staff who have to live and breathe how much this team's sucked every single day.

It's just painful listening to the canned cliches by the players in those pregame interviews. You can just tell they want this season to be over so they can get the hell out of Edmonton for a while.

they've literally ran out of things to say so they re-hash the same crap over and over

The Oilers are the Simpsons of the NHL.

It is nowhere near meaningless. Loser gets zero points!
We are good at this!

That's an absolutely mind bottling number.

So much wrong with the team not being ready. So much wrong with the coaching staff of this team.

This is the who-cares cup. Two terrible teams, it's cold, it's Monday. Fantasy playoffs started though, and I'm hoping OEL drops 5 points on the oilers.

Was it mentioned how many of those were at home? While it's improved of late (far too late) the first 2/3 of the season the Oilers clearly had some focus issues at home games and never started strong, often most apparent in some early soft goals against.

 

[McDNicks17]

So the big question is: Is Coyotes pronounced Ki-yo-tees or Ki-utes?

It's definitely ki-yoats.

That's an expensive third pairing...we really need to Sekera to get back into form next season.

But that top 4 is dirt cheap... 10M combined til Nurse gets paid next year
