This PBP guy sounds like an idiot.

 

[TheNumber4]

Welp. Atleast the last 11 teams lost to the devils too.

 

[Garbo Man]

McLeod is useless, so is Holloway.

Holloway NEEDS to be sent down so he ACTUALLY gets to play and develop

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Woody only plays the 4th line for 5 minutes even with 12 forwards anyway.

5 minutes too much, to be honest.

 

[Rengorlex]

It could be 2018-2019 though

Record after this game 10-9-0
Record after 19 games in that year: 9-9-1

without Kane this team's roster is basically the equilevant of 18-19 + Hyman. Heck you could argue the defence is even worse.

 

[SnipeShowJB11]

Give me Trevor Lewis and Blake COleman over the plugs we have. I always see those two hitting the score sheets and they hit lol

 

[Oilhawks]

Whew. Thanks. I feel better now.

It’s not even 20 games in, they’ve had shit luck, a shit schedule, players underperforming, some questionable coaching decisions and a goalie struggling to adjust to a new system. And yet, they’re hovering around a playoff spot.

That 2017-2018 team downgraded almost across the board (not just losing Keith which most of this hilariously whiny fanbase wanted gone anyhow) and have a decent (but unproductive player) traded for a guy that washed out of the league that same season. Let me know when that happens.

Do something Oilers, you can’t ride this garbage truck another three months.

Still ahead on the shot clock... moral victory achieved.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

I think he’s left his big boy pants in Detroit.

It could be argued that he never had big boy pants to begin with and was just gifted an excellent team by his predecessor.

Still ahead on the shot clock... moral victory achieved.

We looked visually better.
