Pre-Game Talk: 5 in a row? Hurricanes up next

[CycloneSweep]

No, it's because he sucks.

If Eberle sucks than RNH, Yamamoto and Puljujarvi are AHL players

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Because you are a homer fanboy. Funny you call others fan boy lol

We turned a legit top six winger into thin air. Only the Oilers…

It seems like you're the fanboy. Eberle, boy. Yum, yum. He sucks. Get over it

He is 4 times the player Yamamoto is.
Shit, Yamamoto gets spoon fed McDrai and has 38 career points in 130 games, Eberle had 33 last year in 55 games. Not a fanboy but I’m also not a homer who would take objectively worse players cause all Oilers perfect

Yamamoto sucks too, what's your point?

At least Yamamoto has balls.

Bear played like garbage for the second playoffs in a row, Barrie actually had a decent series against Winnipeg and a far better regular season? Why would you lobby to have Bear back over Barrie?

Nothing against Bear but from a pure hockey POV I mean do you get mad like for example that players don't go to bat to guys who have bad seasons? If we let Turris or Lagesson or someone else go should Connor also lobby for them too?

Ya Bear didn't play well last year and maybe he needed more support especially after the playoffs. But he didn't get it which is a tell.

The club backed Barrie over Bear and the leadership group was behind this 100%.

So now they need to level up and win. Otherwise it's just a reincarnation of the old boys club.

McDavid is a talent but not a leader of men. Drai is the heartbeat of this team

Going to watch Elf. Love that movie

So good!!!! One of my faves!!

Perhaps, see what happens in the playoffs I guess. I’m somewhat optimistic we will have an actual 3rd line by TDL. Holloway maybe and an add via trade.

The key part of my post was “right now”. Trades tend to swing in favor towards one team and another depending the season and team performance. You can only really truly evaluate a trade after all the dust has settled. For example Hall for Larsson looked terrible at the time the trade was announced but in hindsight it wasn’t as bad as it seemed.

The Bear trade doesn’t look amazing now but I wouldn’t be surprised if it ends up looking good for us at some point down the road.

You would jettison RNH for Eberle? You are a fanboy.

 

[RegDunlop]

Yikes. Can't wait. They play hard against top teams so it will definitely be interesting.

We always say we play down to lesser teams. Here's our chance to play up to one.

Hopefully one of our goalies stands on their heads

 

[RegDunlop]

Where is this article? Always felt like the org was against him and would love to read it. If we don't win the cup I hope he does with Carolina, I always loved him and thought he would be a long term piece to the Oilers success.

What's this narrative that the org was against him? They fostered him.

 

[Messrules11]

All the Bear talk in this thread is hilarious. He did nothing and I mean absolutely nothing here and he’s going to get lit up tomorrow.

 

[RegDunlop]

Ethan Bear is bad and all you Bear apologists should feel bad for continuing to simp over a bottom pair D man that isn't even on your team anymore. Grow up.

Ha!

I'm dumb as f*** compared to most ppl on these boards, but even I know this statement is hilarious. You can't be serious.

Also, *then

Eberle is twice as good as Yamamoto, still better than Puljujarvi and him and Nuge are slightly interchangeable but Eberle gets the nod cause he can score.

I disagree 100%. Your stats are diluting your opinion. Eberle sucks. Get over it.

Since we're in dark days right now.. .I just want to say how disapointed I am in the Duncan Keith fans. Not ONCE have I seen anyone post the Wins/Loss record of him in the lineup and him out of it. I'm positive it skews towards making him look amazing.

 

[Jumptheshark]

It’s a great song. Thanks for the all day ear worm!

That little fmaggot got his own jet airplane, that little fmaggot he’s a millionaire…

One pe4son complained 20 yea4s after it released and it was banned fir a week

 

[LTIR]

Wonder if putting all the heavy tanks on line 1 would be a good idea.

Hyman - Draisaitl - Puljuarvi
Foegele - McDavid - Yamamoto

We need to get Foegele scoring goals asap and perhaps McDavid would help. Gotta try something new when nothing is working.

If this was to happen I am willing to bet that Nuge-McLeod-Kassian would be our best ES line.

Keith is good but fans are high on the Neimelainen shine and his hit count.

No. You

Now we're pining for Bear and Eberle? This place goes off the rails after a couple losses lol.

I liked Bear and thought he did OK here aside from some very costly mistakes in the playoffs...

However I don't get why so many posters on here are blubbering about him like a bunch of toddlers despite the fact he was literally traded only 5 months ago. The overall outcome of the Bear / Foegele trade is far from being determined. Like jeez people! Relax.
