Post-Game Talk: All Good Things Must Come To An End

[K1984]

This is like that year before mcdavid.

We were actually better then, including in net. Not even joking.

 

[Barrsy]

Immediate term? Of course we aren't. But if you actually give him the rest and rehab time he clearly needs we would get the player that we need back more quickly. Maybe still in time to make a difference. Instead we're rushing back the franchise player before he's ready and putting him in a position to fail when he isn't really even a positive contributor anyway.

A lot of similar stuff going on with Ekholm for similar reasons though he's been less atrocious the last few games.

If you were to only dress players that were positive contributors you might be able to ice a line, possibly a D man but no goalie.

I remember last year LA sending down their newly signed 5 mill goalie Cal Peterson after he struggled to start the season… What’s stoping Kenny from a Campbell for Rodrigue swap?? Pride ?? Stupidly??

I mean pride and stupidity are basically the two constants of Oilers management, so probably.

 

[PositiveCashFlow]

We can't possibly lose to the Sharks.... right?!?!

We have to if we want Schwartz finally canned

 

[29Beast97Mode]

How does a team manage to draft the two best players in the world and f*ck that up?

 

[94 Oil Drops]

What were y'all expecting? A win?

 

[Cogliano13Gagner89]

No way Oilers get the win in San Hell

Losing to an AHL roster would officially be rock bottom. There's no rebounding from that. People need to start losing jobs if that's the case.

Sending down campbell only frees up 1.75 mil in cap space

I didn’t watch the rest of the game didn’t know Woody got ejected

Holland's last year anyway. Not like katz has to pay him long.

 

[Oilers in NS]

There is a start

Refs got insulted cause Woodcroft called em out

That's kind of interesting, not really right now but in the long term, couldn't they just send Campbell down at a later point, replace him with a 750k goalie and then use that 1 million in space to pay even more of Brown's bonus off?

Jack might have his confidence and feelings hurt. Not sure why that matters because it probably isn't possible for him to be much worse than he already is despite the status of his feelings, but this is the only possible reason I could think of.

Enough to call up a goalie and add $1M in cap room.

No brainer.

 

[Deplorable Lenny]

The Oilers forcing McDavid out there when he's very clearly not healthy enough to play is as embarrassing as it is stupid.

Should still be looking to move our 1st for immediate help preferably sooner than later. Season is close to over either way but the team will start winning more when it gets healthier and drafting an 18 year old at 12th overall isn't doing anything for the franchise right now.

I doubt the Oilers are forcing him. More likely the other way around.

 

[McAsuno]

Useless Holland and Schwartz haven't been fired yet?

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Lol not making any changes is so Oilers.

 

[BlackDogg]

And news on General Scwartzkov?
Seems awfully quiet.

 

[KlefDown]

No, we f***ing don't. I didn't know that spending time and money for a team I support stands equal to being punished for it.

On one hand I totally understand everybody's frustration. It's just unacceptable to have such an on-ice product after so many years. Top to bottom failures from all sides. On the other hand it's still "our" team and nobody likes quitters. We won't win the cup this season but I'm hoping for a solid effort down the road. Playoffs should be possible even with this team and goaltending.

I will continue to support Drai and McDavid as players on their new teams, but this circus I'm in at the moment will always be my favourite clown show <3


You're drowning in negativity. Clearly that's not healthy.

It does. They are selling you failure and fans are purchasing it in masses

tell that to our lazy management who hasn't fixed a single problem since 2015. Not depth, not goaltending, not defense.

you choose to make it a circus . Not every organization is like this, there are teams who have started re-builds after us, completed it, and are now contenders while we are still arguing over futile shit

 

[BlackDogg]

There is absolutely no way I'd ever buy season tickets to this trash org.

Cause he’s been better then Skinner and that’s bad.

 

[KlefDown]

Cause he’s been better then Skinner and that’s bad.

man how are we still arguing about this bullshit, Both are bad, one is paid like a starter and playing at .860%, one is supposed to be a backup who carried our team last season (way above his means) and is now regressed to a .860%

Why are we blaming Skinner for Campbell's inability to do the job he was paid for, if one has to go its Campbell

 

[McOvechking]

Beyond the obvious complaints about this org I have long wondered if our conditioning and medical staff isn't up to snuff with the rest of the league. Our team consistently looks lethargic compared to other teams.
