GDT: Game 13: Sharks vs. Oilers 7:30pm ESPN+ and Hulu only

[OrrNumber4]

The best thing about trading Meier was making the team worse in the short-term, and not adding another long-term contract to the books.

Sharks were still outplayed, but I appreciate that they competed and didn't collapse when there was adversity.

Wouldn’t that be something if our boys pull out a win tonight??

Would be the Sharks way, as they even suck at sucking.

I will never thumb my nose at any opportunity to spoil a Vagas fan's night.

Ohh, so your "." isn't broken!

Rewatching this game since I didn’t get to see it live… who exactly was saying that Eklund and Hertl don’t have chemistry? Those two and Zetterlund are a classic F2-F3-F1 combo if I’ve ever seen them, they look good together. I’ve wanted to see that line together ever since we got Zetterlund.

I’m officially not worried about Eklund anymore. He’s a top-6 forward, full-stop.

I’ve enjoyed watching him a ton. I can’t wait to see him with a. Better talent around him (that’ll happen one day right? Right?!) and b. With a year of NHL experience under his belt,

He’s so smart, he really thinks the game a step ahead and it lets him do these brilliant little passes, steals, etc. I think he’s only going to get better as a player. They’re totally different stylistically, but just the very obvious elite hockey sense reminds me of Pavs.

i like how eklund doesn't get bumped off the puck easily, even though he's short. he needs to send zadina his meal plan and lower body lifting regimen

After losing to the Sharks, the Oilers relieved head coach Jay Woodcroft and assistant coach Dave Manson of their duties. The Oilers named the their AHL coach Knolbauch their new head coach.

How does Ken Holland still have a job?

How does Ken Holland still have a job?

He earned when he was the GM of a Red Wings team made up of 50 hall of famers.

Great article in the Athletic about how this coaching change, and the quotes, interviews, and general process around it, show that there's a changing of the guard in EDM and Holland is probably on his way out, slowly.

I heard Holland was planning to retire at the end of the year anyways. So they might just let him ride off into darkness (since there is no sunset for him to ride to)

I was about to comment the same thing, but in typing I realized what a stupid idea that is for the Oil.

Ancient people didnt let disease spread throughout the body once it was identified - they lopped off limbs. The Oilers need to do the same. Like, let's not forget Chiarelli signed Koskinen to that garbage contract like days before he got fired.
