Can someone explain to me how Killorn gets first pp time over Vatrano or someone else? seriously.
In the words of the worst special teams coach ever "we don't have a 1st or 2nd pp unit, we just put guys out there that have earned it"

Gotta pad those stats. Low class as a franchise.The Oilers continuously throwing out McDavid and Drai up 5 and 6 late in the game just to stat pad is hilarious. Just goes to show winning isn't the priority.
McTavish needs to sit if he’s not healthy. He’s atrocious right now.
it's really concerning they haven't had one already. there's no leader on the team right nowI can understand struggling when we have the kind of injuries we have had. I mean Carlsson, Terry, Zegras, Drysdale, McT, Killer, all missed or are missing some time, but to not even have the effort is what bugs me.
You had the ultimate players coach in Eakins and now the ultimate accountability coach in Cronin, and it still doesn't land.
This squad needs to hold a players only meeting and do some soul searching.
Which I don't buy. They have guys that can lead, it's like their choosing not to. And maybe that's because those players aren't playing up to par either so they don't feel they can be that voice, but someone has to step up.it's really concerning they haven't had one already. there's no leader on the team right now
They have to do something to try to keep them in Edmonton. Another first or second round exit and both will be making plans to get out of town.The Oilers continuously throwing out McDavid and Drai up 5 and 6 late in the game just to stat pad is hilarious.

Let the 50/50 funds cover itInstigated fight in last 5 minutes is a massive fine for the coach.
Having said that, the Oilers have been trying to learn that for years. That’s why they’ve won nothing.After this last stretch, you would think the Ducks would have learned that you can’t half-ass it on defense. There’s way too many blown assignments. They’re getting outworked.
Lol guess that explains why Gudas tried a little bit. He bought a place in villa park"f*** it, I live on the beach and have a guaranteed contract"

Draisaitl is a FA after 24/25. Once he goes, McDavid will not stay.

And that the giant elephant we talk about on the oiler board. We miss the playoffs this year? Some of us believe Leon has one foot out the door.They have to do something to try to keep them in Edmonton. Another first or second round exit and both will be making plans to get out of town.

Inexcusable decision by the coaching a staff imo12:54 for Mintyukov tonight, routinely being under 15 minutes with no PP time ain't gonna cut it. I'm almost tempted to send him to San Diego simply so he sees the ice more frequently.
Is he? How can you tell. All we hear is that he's direct.I can understand struggling when we have the kind of injuries we have had. I mean Carlsson, Terry, Zegras, Drysdale, McT, Killer, all missed or are missing some time, but to not even have the effort is what bugs me.
