Post-Game Talk: All I got was a lousy tshirt

[The Panther]

I wonder if Glen Sather watches Oilers' games... like tonight's game... and then thinks of Kevin Lowe and co. and says to himself, "This... is what you've done with it??"

 

[ekcut]

The oilers are clock watching....it's 4:30 and they go on holidays for 2 months when the day is over.

TBH I don't really blame Hitchcock all that much. Tmac pretty much had the same roster and failed as well. This has mostly been the fault of Chiarelli for the inadequate roster. And obviously the certain OBC members that everyone wants outed.

Are you joking? Hitchcock came in here full of bluster, shooting his mouth off that he knew what was wrong with the team and needed 8 or 9 games to fix it. What he’s accomplished is providing us with a lifeless team that looks worse now.

Couple of positives.

1) Maybe Bob's seat gets a little warmer with all these 6-7 goal games?
2)Blue's broadcast team was a pleasure to listen to. They were great.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

I'm talking about mailing it in now that the season is over
the players know it...most are counting down the games now

I know I’m just giving you grief. That was a pathetic performance.

 

[I am the Liquor]

At least the Toe Bro is on.

He is doing the Lord’s work.

 

[Stoneman89]

Apparently when Koskinen and company arrived we would be saved. Lol.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

Yup. No cap space, no tradeable assets, no blue chip prospects.... nothing.

Well I mean there is something when it comes to prospects, but they're not exactly ready to help the team yet.

Namely: Bouchard, Maximov, McLeod, and Samorukov.

They're all still in the CHL so they're easily a few years away, and god help us if whomever replaces Hitch decides they're ready for NHL action. Out of everyone too the only real bonafide blue chip prospect is Bouchard.

Also I still think there's some good promise in Bear, Jones, and Yamamoto.

7th last in the league.

2 points out of 5th. Home Sweet Home

 

[Llamamoto]

Oh well.

 

[BlackDogg]

That's why they call it the Blues

 

[The Moose]

Come on, look at the positives! Last year we were out by Christmas. This year we almost made it to spring. Little steps, little steps.

It’s hard to believe we had better seasons with Gagner centering the top line.

 

[Spawn]

Hopefully being thoroughly embarrassed and outclassed by every good team they've played down the stretch here will finally get it through the heads of the incompetents who run this organization that big changes are needed both in terms of management and in terms of player personnel.

But then I realize who is in charge. There is no hope.

 

[DerpMorg]

LOL. This is going to be even worse next season.

You know they’ll win a couple of those games and then they’ll think it’s the norm and not the exception.

 

[Del Preston]

How many tweaks away from 20th are we?

 

[BlackDogg]

There really is little to look forward to with this mess. It's worse watching this happen with mcdavid. Maybe he'll just retire.

 

[The Moose]

I blame the new arena. From the top it looks like a golf driver. That's just bad omen.

 

[WayneGreatzky]

So many 6 or 6+ goals against games this season lol.

Can’t wait to hear his post game excuse tonight

Yeah, and still I respect Hitchcock as the coach because hes accomplish more than any one of us will do in hockey. The players that are good, are the only ones that are still producing. He can't get anything else with the remaining roster. Putting it completely on Hitchcock is pretty absurd.
This is a roster and talent recognition failure.
You expect any other coach to produce different results with this roster? I highly doubt it.

This would never happen if Matt Hendricks were here. - Edmonton media tomorrow

Darren Pang?

I've always liked him. He's like the good twin of Remenda. Although Remenda wasn't bad tonight, the bit he had about the Toronto media bitching about the net coming off had me howling.
