Amazing they signed off on the Koskinen deal.

A straw that broke camel's back.

Koskinen let in an absolute back-breaker tonight during the 3rd period that ended up being the game-winner. I wonder if that was the last straw.

Goddamit, I wanted McDavid straight up for DeAngelo because Chia wants an RD.

The next guy will probably be worse, per the trend.

Jay Feaster is just doing some PR stuff for the Lightning right now, I believe...

And just like that I found out Wayne has another brother

Jeez...you make like 15 of the worst mistakes ever sequentially, and everyone gets all on your case.

There are no friends in business.

Gorts to be relieved of his duties for not being able to fleece Chia before he got the can?

I just realized Washington’s logo is a W.

 

[Tob]

Damn. Have to imagine the drive to win is off. The Zuccarello sweep stakes with the main contender being Pete Chiarelli just completely deflated.

 

[egelband]

Rest easy, Edmonton. Bob Nicholson is going to fix everything!

 

[haohmaru]

The likelihood of the Oilers going after Zuccarello just went WAY down.

The rest of the league when Bob Nicholson gets his sleeves rolled up:

That's just silly. Obviously we'd need to throw in a draft pick, say 3rd rounder.

 

[Ghost of jas]

The dream dies hard.

Amazing they signed off on the Koskinen deal.

Word around here was that that Koskinen deal wasnt his and that this was the start of a new direction, they were just waiting until the break to dump him.

A trick question used to be what set of brothers has the most points in the nhl. Its keith and Wayne.

Brent and Wayne. Keith never played in the NHL

 

[Mac n Gs]

Huh, I wonder if we can look back and try to figure out why a coach would be left with essentially 4 forwards and facing an uphill battle every night. Oilers need to purge their entire organization from top to bottom. They were given the next generational player and couldn't build a semi-competent team around him. It's straight up embarrassing.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Bummer that we didn’t get a chance to fleece Chia

Although there are still dummies running the Oilers so anything is possible

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Are we even sure this takes the oil out of anything?

 

[NYRFANMANI]

Not at all. This can only mean they don't want to get absolutely robbed at the deadline. They should be in play for McJesus' sake and will be.
