Purcell and Hamilton get so many wide open nets and just constantly miss

Hamilton = AHL hands.
Purcell = Buyout candidate.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Ebs grimaced and hollered out in pain, hopefully he's o.k. It'd be great if we could pot one here and start to beat their wet blanket approach.

 

[stratedge]

I don't get why everyone is scavenging reasons to praise Nelson so fast for what isn't very impressive and in a small sample size. Is he better than Eakins? Yeah but Eakins was absolutely horrendous, that's really not a noteworthy accomplishment. He's still well below .500, with the Oilers reputation giving them the element of surprise any time they put up any kind of a fight.

I for one do not want Nelson back next year. He's not horrible, but this team needs a coach who's nothing short of awesome, and absolutely certain about everything he's doing. The way this community latches onto every little insignificant personnel or staffing change as the next big thing is just so frustrating.

After Eakins anything is an improvement. That said I'd like to see an experienced coach come in and enlist TN as asst coach, and ****can Acton. I do like his way with the players.

Name one proven coach that is available. Now name a proven coach that's willing to come here. If Babcock is available we don't get him. If Todd from the Sharks is available, he won't come here either.

This is basically how I feel

 

[McDeathbyCheerios*]

Also getting another new coach will push the team back more and if they fire another guy that the players like, I guarantee they will be begging for a trade and we will be forced to start the rebuild all over again.

Nelson? He was right at .500 going into tonight's game, 10-10-3.

Nelson needs to keep the teams effort up the rest of the year to be a top choice. Still lots of games left to play for him to prove himself. Tonight definitely doesn't earn him another checkmark though.

 

[Klimando Kostani]

How can MacT watch the wilds defence and not think that we need better D going in to next year. Why does he not address this?

 

[oobga]

Only if you think Nelson started to actually coach after the first time MacT allowed him to address the team by himself

Definitely doesn't add one but I wouldn't take anything away from the guy given our lineup

 

[T-Funk]

JUSTIN SCHULTZ RUNNING DOWN THE CLOCK LOSING 3-0 OMG

It was clear the direction of the team changed once Mac T was nowhere near the bench, so why shouldn't that be a marker?

Ok, you go out and find this nothing short of awesome coach and give Craig a call

 

[StoveTopStauffer]

Can't make a pass, can't handle a pass, weak ass play along the boards and can't generate anything offensively. We play like *****es we're gonna look like *****es. This loss isn't because of coaching that's for sure.


Our princesses needed another day off.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Score early on the Wild because if they score first they'll throw a wet blanket on the game.

 

[camboy]

Explain to me the difference in what the Wild do in the neutral zone versus The Hawks..Lightning...Flames...Kings...take your pick (or just tell me to go back to my board if you cant answer).

Can't explain it but trust me it's different and it sucks. It's like watching back to back performances of the Russian ballet with your girlfriend on a Friday night when all your buddies are at the bar. It's that kind of bad.

 

[Nunymare]

Lol, is there a brawl going on in the crowd or something?

 

[oobga]

For sure that should be. Those games before should go on MacT's record.

Jersey on the ice!

Look at the lineup Nelson has had at his disposal. It's absolutely horrendous.

 

[sepHF]

looks like it, that has happened a bunch this year.

I saw two at the Vancouver game I went to early in the season

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Good question - something was definitely going on in the crowd.

I'm wondering if a wannabe jersey tosser got headed off at the pass?

 

[AlowlyMcOilersfan]

lulz, just lulz
