Replacement*
Checked out
Maybe he just sucked enough to gtfo. I would.
If I'm being honest, yeah.
hey who's gots tonights Pochiro hilites. Does he exist or just on Pokémon?
Maybe he just sucked enough to gtfo. I would.
Absolutely!
Thank you for logic. Does my heart good to know I'm not alone. Theres a lot of others out there, a lot of them have stopped following this idiot org.
And how many of those players have been sent packing by others teams after the Oilers? Tom Gilbert....gee why didn't Montreal want him any more?
Ya, I don't agree with a lot of what Replacement was saying.
I chalk his disposition up to the toll that 10 years of losing will take on a guy.
From the sounds of it, he would get more enjoyment by being right about managements missteps then the Oilers actually being successful.
Hopefully putting wins on the board will change the attitude around here.
I'm fairly guarded in my optimism but I'm definitely liking what I'm seeing so far.
If we can finally win consistently after all this pain it's going to be so sweet.
Look at all these sad oilers fans until the coming of McJesus ....
For clarity when I mention idiot org I'm basing it on last 10 years view. Not such an outlandish view, just saying.
For sure I'm jaded. 10 yrs following this lost team around in a desert will do that. To most of us. Actually most of us are gone. Used to be thousands of posters on this board. McDavid had resulted in a bounce back but numbers are down since last season. A lot of people have changed the channel. Even a ton of longtime posters like myself.
If Jesus ever comes back Replacement please don't suck the fun out of it. It feels like we lost last night because Nail "8 goals" Yakupov actually scored.
I will admit it was a bold move Hall for Larsson. But we lost that trade. Who was the right hand shot D-man UFA available last summer? What about keeping Hall and going that route.
I donno haha. Last nights game has garnered 3500 posts between the multiple GDT and the nearly 1000 post GDT. I can't remember the last time there was that much engagement for a game around here.
And you clearly haven't changed the channel. Because if you truly had you wouldn't be here banging your head against the immovable object that is HF Oilers day after day. Fighting the... well I wont call it the good fight. But fighting your fight.
Hey, I've noted you doing the same thing and I respect that you stand up and state your opinion and not any particularly convenient party line.
Theres still McDavid, and a handful of players I like. But the org is harder to like by now.
Can't we just turn the page lol.
He seems to be more comfortable in St. Louis. According to posters over there he isn't playing erratic, has been making solid passes, and playing decent defence.
He needed a change of scenery. Don't understand why people continue to dwell on the past.
Why can't we just be happy for the guy? He's moved on and so should we
But it does. Because the lack of this org being able to develop talent into good players does not lend hope that we're in for a fantastic future. On most days you have to admit you see this. I see you questioning it in your posts from time to time.
Management just traded this talent for dirt. Instead of retaining a Center that was working for him here that they could have easily done. They didn't care enough to help the player, then they dealt him for peanuts. That's a bad org practicing bad asset management. Not sure how on Earth that is not one iota relevant to the fortunes of an org doing this..
These points would be accepted anywhere as rational, reasonable, concern. Except here due to protectionist bias.
