Poul/Guddy is truly the pairing from hell. Sorry to beat a dead horse but it's nauseating. Like at least separate them so it's not a guaranteed goal.

And yes, I know Hutton looks better without either of them but so does this entire team.

Lucic on pace for 1 million dollar per goal this season.

Separating them means putting one of them out on the 2nd pairing and therefore playing against 2nd-liners, which neither of those two can handle and thus the team bleeds goals. Leave them together on the third pairing and minimize their ice time.

I don’t know, I like it. They play less and the others are looking much better and showing better potential in their games without those idiots.

And Schaller on waivers if EP40 is ready after morning skate

Gotta minimize the bleeding goals somehow. Gudbranson and Pouliot can at least be put out against the lesser lines and pairings to minimize the potential damage, I guess?

At least Hutton and Stecher are free to actually play hockey now rather than play babysitter?

I want to see Motte on the PP. The guy's hungry.

Schaller is in the line up while Goldy sits. Absolute nonsense.

 

[BROCK HUGHES]

Wow all I can say.That 2nd unit pp is going to be killer....has it even scored a goal this season.If they are not going to play Goldobin then let's just trade him.
I'm sure he is probley as sick of TG as TG is of him.

Biega should be playing about three of every four games over one of those two.

Right now with the time between games Biega should be playing all of the games over one of those two.

Literally every game now unless we fall completely out of the playoff wildcard picture.

Awful having to play the oilers this many times. They are a joke and laughing stock, a boring team and they’re going no where.

 

[I am toxic]

Disappointed on so many levels to see Granlund, Schaller and Loui in the lineup while Goldy is sat - no accountability, leading to coach undermining his own authority, damaging the development of a young player, devaluing that young player's value in any trade, continuing mismanagement of Russian players that make it even less likely any Russian (eg. Tryamkin) would want to come to Vancouver. Coaches can't step on the ice to influence the outcome of games, so when they do have an opportunity to increase the odds of success, it is disappointing to see them squander it.

Yes they are a laughing stock going nowhere. They also happen to be ahead of the canucks. Hmmm.....

Indeed. Very embarrassing for the Oilers.

 

[Fire Benning]

Two teams fighting for a playoff spot with 22-24 and 21-26 W/L records. This is the NHL’s dream.

 

[Ryp37]

Let's see if they shadow McDavid again

Ya, since 1992 the Coilers have been f***ing awful- 1 franchise I wouldn’t trade our last 25 years for.

Oilers are awful. Can’t wait to dredge up this post when they lose McJesus in a couple years lol.

Why would you dig up a post from a guy who is a canuck fan and hates the Oilers? Strange but to each their own.

My point was people likely shouldn't be on their high horse laughing at the Oilers when, while laughable, they are (1) ahead of the canucks this year and were last year, and the year before that and (2) the canucks are headed down the same road with management making the same mistakes Oilers management has been making for over a decade.

Make no mistake this game isn't a meeting of hockey powerhouses. This is a meeting of teams that have been spinning their wheels for years.

 

[StreetHawk]

Change will be coming. Entire left side D have expiring contracts.

But it will take some jam from this management group to trade Edler at the TDL or move off Gudbranson. Easy enough to say goodbye to MDZ and Pouliot and bring in Hughes and Juolevi.
