Oilers fan bumps thread - wouldn’t expect anything else lol

As of right now big congrats to Calgary for scamming a 3rd rounder from us.. Hopefully he turns it around but at this point he may be 4th on the depth chart as soon as Andersen’s back

He's a Flames goalie we hate with a passion. He is now a Leaf. Yes I had to bump this lol. It's protocol

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Dubas sees his chance now. How many third round picks make it and when? Pretty sure this move allows them to make yet another move tomorrow. Dubas isn’t paying teams to keep cap if he isn’t going to use it all by the deadline. This allows them to rest Andersen for another month and see what happens come playoffs while still adding another key piece tomorrow potentially. Using up Andersen’s cap. 2.7 to go shopping with. Great move Dubas.

Great move you say? Look at tonight. Waste of a 3rd.

 

[OvermanKingGainer]

He had a good first game, and then there was tonight.

What the f***?

goalies have bad games sometimes

 

[thaman8765678]

Yeah that is the thing with Rittich. He is either really good or terrible.

Nothing in between.

Yup... since that stick flip, he's never been the same. Big Sieve Dave.

Meh, you should take it as a shot more at StickflipDave than the Leafs. Oilers fan just hate him and him failing no matter the team is hilarious.

 

[ijuka]

Lol, yeah not like the Leafs are any better than Calgary. If only every GM just used stats and no logic like you. We would be able to trade Hutchinson's .919 for Demko's .917

Well now Rittich is at .877.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

He looked like a beer league goalie tonight. I'm not kidding, the last few were horrendous. The guy can look solid but those 30 foot shots 5 hole were something else. I'm not pinning the loss on him but he definitely didnt help.

 

[Mike Jones]

I really don't know what Dubas was thinking with this acquisition. Rittich seemed to struggle at times here in Calgary so what was Toronto looking for?

Saving the 3rd and playing Hutchinson (Who has a decent .919 Save percentage) when JC needed a break would have been the better option for the Leafs.

It makes more sense if you've ever actually watched Hutch play.

I have - on at least three occasions this season alone. I wouldn't want him as a started but he seems to get the backup job done.

 

[Team Cozens]

Big Save.... Sive Dave.

Dubas might be the guy making the deal, but wouldn’t pro scouting be the point men, who identify trade targets?

But that is what he always does. Half the time he looks like Patrick Roy and half the time he looks like he would be cut from a beer league team.

He seems to play better the worse your team plays. He routinely will make difficult saves then let up an easy one.

Dufas makes a trade and he is amazing. A bad trade then Leafs fans start to blame the scouting or “this has Shanahan’s fingerprints all over it”.

 

[Ragdoll]

There seems to be a pattern where Oiler fans in general seem to cheer more for other teams or players failings, than they cheer for their team winning...seems like an indictment on the state of the franchise

Huh? Every fan cheers against other teams or other players. It’s called rivalries, stop trying to make it seem like Oilers fans are the only, absolutely delusional. He played for our provincial rival and stick flipped after a poke check in a shootout...

Just pointing out Dubas makes the trade for Rittich based on pro scouting information. Likely there was more than one goalie Dubas was targeting, and the deal he made was ultimately his choice, but the pro scouts’ information would be an important part of the decision of which guy to acquire and the cost to pay.

 

[Magic Man]

They should have thrown in a 5th and picked up Bernier instead.

So how come you don't blame Dubas for bad trades, but Benning gets all the blame when the Canucks make a bad trade? Secretly a Leafs fan? lol

 

[Volica]

I said it earlier in this thread, or another. There’s no middle ground with Rittich.

Either lights out, or really bad.

That's because he's a backup...all backups are like that, play against lesser teams normally then when they become 'the man' they shrivel

Your comment is an indictment on the state of your distain for the Oilers franchise. Every single fan base does this. Being a Leafs fan you should know this...

The Hoglander goal lol. It’s like he closed his eyes
