Can Skinner show up, play better and stop giving up soft goals? Thank you.
Needless..
What is it suppose to accomplish?
What are you seeing in Carrick that you like so much?Sure, that's ur opinion.. I personally would take Carrick over half the guys in our bottom 6 including a healthy Henrique and wonderboy Holloway.
Perry, McLeod and Ryan aren't much of upgraded either. Flip of coin really.
I thought he was pretty pedestrian. Don't get me wrong, he was ok, but he was just sort of "there". You'd hope to get more out of a 1st round pick add, I expected more offense from him but he really hasn't gotten many scoring chances even.I really liked Henrique in the playoffs before he got hurt. An injury isn’t Hollands fault.
At some point the crazy refs will throw a curveball.Ya they’re crying about reffing that’s arguably gone in their favour overall. Give them something to actually cry about
Then don't.
The boys are headed home with a split and now we have home-ice. This is the best time of year as a hockey fan. At least pretend to enjoy it.
I agree and it sucks we have no one that can help again. But I mean it is what it is.So.... Henrique out and pretty invisible when he's in, Stecher and Carrick scratched again. A 1st+4th for virtually nothing, not to mention that the offseason and in season additions of Brown and Perry providing nothing in the playoffs. I hate to complain on the Gameday of a 1-1 series but....man did Holland drop the ball in this "all in" season. It's pretty much the Edmonton McDrais AGAIN.
Oh and Happy Mother's day to all the mothers in HFOil's lives or any posting here.
This is the right mindset. I apologize for my TDL bitching. This is the team we have and this is the team we MUST support.Then don't.

Wins the draws , PKs but so do others.What are you seeing in Carrick that you like so much?
Jets fan turned Oilers bandwagoner? Good to see. Don’t know why more Jets fans wouldn’t jump on board.Game 1 was unbearable the next day because all of the canucks fans were happy. Game 2 much better. Need more of that.
Fair enough. So you want his physicality in the line up.Wins the draws , PKs but so do others.
What sets him apart is that he isn't a pansy like the rest of them and is willing to muck it up.
Sure, keep it together but give Kulak-Desharnais pairing equal if not more minutes.Please keep Nurse/Ceci together. It's a great pairing. One of the best in the league and certainly not a huge liability every time they step onto the ice.
Irreplaceable really.Please keep Nurse/Ceci together. It's a great pairing. One of the best in the league and certainly not a huge liability every time they step onto the ice.
Great pairing if you have a punching bag and need extra motivation to punch itPlease keep Nurse/Ceci together. It's a great pairing. One of the best in the league and certainly not a huge liability every time they step onto the ice.
Obviously I'm not actually dictating what you or anyone else can / can't post about.Sorry, I'm allowed to complain if I want to because it's a valid complaint. You don't have to agree but I'm allowed to post it.
Holland screwed up and I'm going to call him out on it, did nothing to improve this roster last offseason and in season. The team is still almost completely dependent on 2 players, they dragged this corpse to the finish line in Game 2.
I wish the top players had more support but they haven't gotten any and that's on the GM, I hope like hell that they can overcome it and I'll be cheering like mad tonight but it doesn't make me wrong about the lack of roster depth. Henrique being out and being pretty invisible when in just brought it to light for me.
I agree.With Tanev I'd like our chances against anyone. As is, I think we'll beat Vancouver... teams like Dal/Col/FLA I can only hope.
AgreedBrown and Janmark will get the job done bottom six. Both have strong defensive prowess.
Key concerns right now bottom six are Perry Ryan and Mcleod. None of them are strong defensively and are not chipping in offensively.
Honeslty wish we'd go 11 7 to get stretcher in and not have to roll ceci so much. He's truly awful.
I sure would like to see him be more physical on the forecheck but defensively (at least by eye) he has looked pretty good to me.Agreed
I expected a much better playoffs from McLeod
Get on with the bashing program boy. Holland should have added Walker+ Guentzel + Tarasenko for the 800K capspace he had.Obviously I'm not actually dictating what you or anyone else can / can't post about.
I just find it grating and unnecessarily negative to read on game day.
But go ahead; post whatever you want.
Agreed. That Petterson Höglander line doesn't scare me at all. Though I could maybe see Lindholm and Garland causing some problems if they get favourable match-ups. Thankfully we've got home-ice and Knob actually line matches. That was one of the most frustrating things about MacLellan and also Tipp to an extent. Both coaches would just "roll the lines" way too often IMO.I'd ride McDrai on topline at home until Nucks figure a way to try to stop it which I don't think they can. Look at the Nucks lines and see what we could get in line matching. That team is paper thin. They got Boeser and Miller on topline and thats it. Mcleod line has been handling that. Get to get McDrai out against any of the other weak Nucks lines. Look at the Nucks 2nd and 4th lines. lol
Oilers should be able to take both home games. Hopefully Skinner resembles a starting goalie this time. I keep hoping.
Here’s some press clippings for Nurse-Ceci that are not so nice. Hope they read it and realize they need to be better.

Would be nice to give these fools the gentlemens sweep in 5 games and be done with it.Game 1 was unbearable the next day because all of the canucks fans were happy. Game 2 much better. Need more of that.
