You're forgetting the playoff standouts Toffoli, Mono, and HertlGet on with the bashing program boy. Holland should have added Walker+ Guentzel + Tarasenko for the 800K capspace he had.

he has great wheels and a good shot. Want him to use them moreI 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.
Always seems to be in position...doesnt seem to be a liability regardless of who he gets matched up against.
That's fair. I just see a roster that could have been so much better with some GM competence but what's done is done so..... Lets Go Oilers.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.

They are. I generally don’t either.I have zero faith in Skinner, his career playoff stats are atrocious.

Not sure but if you start people you didn't declare you can be penalized. IIRC Woody caught a team starting the wrong guys and after the first stoppage he notified the officials and a the opposition was penalized.What is the reasoning behind it?
Whitney tuned them, againLETS GO OILERS
Not that the oilers crowd is bad, but it ain’t what it used to be, not like 06. Show Vancouver what a fan base is.
Hopefully we go back to Vancouver with a lead and their fans will be quietly nodding off when they aren’t crying about the refs giving us 1 PP per game
Mcleod has been really good defensively as he usually is. Save for one bad play I can remember where he didn’t cover a lane in the neau zone contributing to a goal against.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.

Like and agreed. The Oilers seem dead set to make this pairing a thing. This despite many signs that the Oilers themselves don’t fully beleive in the pairing. Which I don’t know if it makes it better or worse.The Ceci-Nurse pairing came together back in 2022 more or less of necessity, as none of the blueliners other 6 could be counted on to play vs. elites.
Nurse-Ceci
Kulak-Barrie
Keith-Bouchard
They never looked that good together, but they kept their head above water (at least statistically) while facing an endless onslot of elites.
Since then, the Oil have had a borderline unhealthy obsession to try and make this pairing a thing. That, despite overwhelming evidence that they struggle to contain elite opposition, can't move the needle offensively, and might be the worst pairing in transition (in both directions) in the league.
The Oil have caught a massive break with Kulak-Vinny stepping up, but they need to take advantage of that and focus on fixing the Nurse pairing vs. continuing to ram a square peg into a round hole.
They've got 2 legit options sitting in the pressbox, so there are no excuses.
Ekholm-Bouchard
Kulak-Vinny
Nurse-Stecher / Broberg-Nurse
I wanted Holland to go for a veteran goalie at the deadline, someone with playoff success. Not necessarily to replace Skinner but to be there in case he was ass in the playoffs, which he has been except for a game or two.I have zero faith in Skinner, his career playoff stats are atrocious.
Canucks are 10-0-1 in the last three years with Rooney reffing. Shockingly there is no mention of who is reffing today by the Cucks media and fans.
We want em all!!You're forgetting the playoff standouts Toffoli, Mono, and Hertl
Sam is slower than Perry and hasn't won anything. Keep Perry in.Brown looks so good.. .in the PB. Sam needs a game, come on
At least the Oilers actually got some PP opportunities in that one (7 to the Kings 5). I'd gladly take even 5 Oilers PPs to the Canucks 7.NHL decided to assign this one to Chris Rooney, who previously made a circus of the Game 3 in the LA series.
Nothing will go wrong, I’m sure.
I mean, he could have moved Ceci, Foegele, and Kane to upgrade. He was happy not moving a roster player- no matter how shitty they are or have beenGet on with the bashing program boy. Holland should have added Walker+ Guentzel + Tarasenko for the 800K capspace he had.
Did anyone actually say that?We want em all!!
Just from the Nucks we should have taken Lindholm, Zadorov, Kuzmenko, Lafferty, and Soucy.
Holland missed out on all. Good thing Katz and Hymans dad were able to buy Cole.
Jets fan turned Oilers bandwagoner? Good to see. Don’t know why more Jets fans wouldn’t jump on board.
Fair enough. So you want his physicality in the line up.
Lol fair enough. Of course you support your own team first. I just think Edmonton/Winnipeg should be a natural fit for bandwagon jumping. Two small market prairie teams supporting one another seems right. That said, a lot of the Jets fanbase seems to hate the Oilers.I live in van I hate the canucks with a passion. I like the Oilers roster I think it is well put together for the first time in a long time. If it was jets vs oilers I wouldn't be posting here I would in all likelihood be talking trash. Also I put lots of money on the Oilers this year. Go oilers.
I mean if we got just two of those new canucks Id be looking onto the finals already. I hate it when fans act like Holland has some impossible job and what's he to do.We want em all!!
