Depends on your point of view. To me the sky is falling because they are still inept but getting loser points. The worst case scenario here involves them finishing 1-5 points out of a playoff spot, and that's where they're headed.

I still think the construction of the team was far more of an issue than TM.

People were acting as if TM was the problem and are still celebrating his departure. He did a lot more when he had an actual team to coach.

Ya
Put it this way. He f**ked up ONE play in OT. Fine.
By they never would have gotten there (or 1 point) without him.
Drai had a hell of a game. First star worthy.
Dosent mean he lost the game for us but he wasnt just flat footed, working to make it a 2 on 1, it was a downright mistake not headmanning the puck.
He still had a great game worthy of the accolades but that play was aweful!
Very true.
As crappy as yet another season is, this is all I ask for - to be competitive and still in the hunt at this time of year.

Just finished watching the game. Should have been a win.
Koskinen flubbed getting the puck at the side of the net on Montreals 3rd goal...put himself out of position and that was the game right there.
Koskinen has to save that 3rd goal...period.

What constitutes a good game?
He had one noticeable moment. When he flubbed a weak wrister from the half boards that almost handcuffed Price.
He's the exact same player he has been all year. The exact same player he was last year and the exact same player he was as a rookie.
He's a bust. There is absolutely nothing there with him as an NHLer.

This team is capable of making the playoffs.
Right Bobby Nick?
Hopefully his job depends on it.

If you mean you felt you had to drink a lot more with Koskinen in net, then I feel your pain brother. A lot of pints went down watching that abomination.

Based on what, the first shitty Super Bowl in a while? We were due for a shit game eventually, especially this matchup.
I’ll take last year’s Super Bowl over any Oilers game I’ve watched in the last 10 years.
Now if you wanna talk half time shows, I’m fine with flushing any and all of those in the sewer

I'm starting to feel the Oilers should just tank and try and get a good draft pick. I don't think they can make the playoffs, they might as well try and get something decent in the draft.

This is the exact opposite mentality both the team and the fans should have

How has that worked out, other than the impossible-to-fail McDavid?

Yup. I’m past that point. I’d rather see this team compete and just miss and finish mid table than finish near the bottom for a draft pick that won’t turn out.

I do hate tanking but what else can be done. It's been rumoured that the Oilers are shopping Jesse Puljujarvi and their first round pick. If they can get a decent winger or d-man I am for that deal but if there is nothing decent building through the draft is our only hope. I just feel depressed and deflated with all the losing.

Maybe Chiarelli will join some other team, and wants his three 3rd pairing D-men back from the Oilers in exchange for a #2 Dman
