Especially in the Eakins form

Ok what is the point of dressing Gazdic if he does not dismantle Garbutt I guess it is whatever

Garbutt would just skate away. What reason does he have to engage?

 

[Del Preston]

Did I hear Louie DeBrusk and the other idiots on Sportsnet celebrating that the Oilers won the third period 1-0? This is what it has come to.

 

[Kepler 186f]

Both Colorado and the Coyotes are getting at least a point tonight. And the Jets and of course the Stars both won. And next up are Nashville and St. Louis.

 

[Raab]

We are a Mike Milbury like team. Times 19. Crap.

Time for Schultz and Purcell to sit for a game.

Were worse, Mike Milbury made the playoffs.

MacT needs to have a press conference and explain WHY he is standing by Eakins. What does he see, what is Eakins doing that impresses him.

Then Gadzic shouldnt give him a choice.
If he cant do that, he shouldnt have a spot on this team. Full stop.

 

[McDeathbyCheerios*]

Hmmm... I wonder if we will get to 20 straight losses to the west

 

[Mr Tadakichi]

I wonder if they are still fighting a hungover from Sunday's party.

 

[Diamondillium]

Accurate description of the team.

Then the ref breaks it up. There's a reason stuff like this almost never happens in the NHL.

I can't believe I pay $50 a month to watch this crap. It's not even December and we're finished... again. I think I'll be cancelling my cable subscription early this year. I can't even fathom how it feels being a tier 1 fan.

 

[OnTheBrink]

Schultz looked solid in his own end tonight!












# Things you will never hear in a Oilers post gamer.

 

[Kayen]

Then the ref breaks it up. There's a reason stuff like this almost never happens in the NHL.

Then he has no place in the NHL

 

[McJeety McJeet]

I thought that was funny as well. Pure pity talk.

Ding ding.

laughing tears..haha

 

[McPuritania]

Garbutt would just skate away. What reason does he have to engage?

Ideally, Coach would tell him to just grab the guy and pummel him. Our 30th place team that hasn't won a single game against the West, who fell out of the playoff race before the season started, can't put themselves on the PK to stand up against a cheap shot on their star player. We have to try and fail to win the game instead.

A win tonight is too important to risk.

 

[tinfish]

Strudwick just mentioned that Hall had his 100th goal tonight and Eberle his 100th assist. Time for a night out on the town boys!

 

[harpoon]

It gets more fun when we play Nashville and St. Louis back to back. Ain't a chance in hell we win either of those games.

I'm not even going to watch the Blues game. That is going to be some ugly ****.

Solid road game, shame it resulted in another loss. A guy I am really starting to hate is Acro, man so many plays die on his stick.

But but but ... our best all round center.
But but but ... better than Gagner.
Anyone who thought, even for a second, that Arcobello is an NHL player should hand in their fan card.

 

[Throttlehead]

MacT needs to have a press conference and explain WHY he is standing by Eakins. What does he see, what is Eakins doing that impresses him.

It is the ego and stubbornness of both Lowe and MacT that will not allow them to make the correct decisions. It is also the reason they both shouldn't be in management.

How can it not be obvious that Eakins has been terrible with no upside.

Can someone name one thing that Eakins appears to be good at in his coaching.

Acrobello sucks. Gagner is even worse. Dumping that worthless stiff is one of the few good things MacTavish has done.

Garbutt turtles then, if Gazdic even catches him. That's just how it is. I mean how often have you actually seen guys go after rats in this league? It's sad but it protects the rats more than the star players.

Who would've thought replacing NHLers with AHLers would be a bad thing.
