I think you can make the case that Edmonton needs a coaching change.

Thats the definition of insanity. I mean it probably has to happen just because of the mental state of the team. But it has to be painfully obvious to Oiler management that the core is rotten.

 

[StevenF1919]

Draisaitl skips media availability

He's a whiny pissbaby. Getting exposed as a powerplay merchant who can't do shit without daddy Connor feeding him tap-ins.

The question is what do they even do to fix it at this point? Nobody is touching Campbell or Nurse's contracts without max retention and/or incentives. Trading any of the bigger names would be selling them all at a lose. And I don't think their prospect pool is anything special.

They're just kinda stuck in the hole Holland has made for them.

I think there is certainly enough talent there for the team to be much better than 2-8-1(?).

They look out of control and horribly mismanaged. I think that is attributable to coaching.

And it has to be painfully obvious to Oilers' ownership that the Oiler management and coaching is similarly rotten.

That would make what, 6 coaches for McDavid? When do you say its not the coach but the players?

 

[Chairman Maouth]

Jim from Whitecourt drunk dialing Oilers' talk radio.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

They’re off until Thursday when they play the Sharks. Now would be a good time imho.

Man, I could probably get great seats for like $20. I wonder if it’s worth it to watch this trainwreck?

Imagine you don't go & the Sharks break their losing streak against EDM. I know its unlikely but you never know.

Im wanting a 11-10 Sharks win. Oilers lose and get some major changes, Sharks still give up 10 goals.

Jim from Whitecourt drunk dialing Oilers' talk radio.

Jim who? I know a lot about that town

 

[Chairman Maouth]

Jim who? I know a lot about that town

No idea.

"First up, we have Jim from Whitecourt on the line."

He tried to blame McDavid's play on the COVID vaccine.

 

[DFAC]

Its a real shame we wont see round 4 between Edmonton and Vancouver until the end of the year.

I wish the Canucks could play Edmonton every game

Maybe, it's a tough situation. I think big changes are needed there.

I often think about the line Dale Tallon used when he traded Vincent Trocheck to the Carolina Hurricanes. The Panthers were not playing well and it was obvious there were issues with the leadership of the team. Tallon said "Sometimes you have to shoot one of the hostages."

Obviously a pretty grim metaphor to use, but something to consider. IMO, he was right.

 

[Artemi Panarin]

I wish we played VAN every night, win-win for me.

 

[vcanuck]

Edm broke Calgary, and now we broke the oil.

 

[North Cole]

Like I said, win win, got lots of fantasy points.

Maybe un-circle the wagons and move camp.

 

[jackjohnson]

Hughes gets to 20 points in the 4th fewest games for a defenseman all-time.

And Hronek is at 12 points

Wait wait wait what was the Canucks PDO?

Canucks PDO is unsustainable bruh will regress to norm like from 10-1 sharks win to 6-2 Oilers win

 

[jackjohnson]

Hronek with 13.ppints in 12 games. That trade is looking genius. I get Hughes is the key here
...but Hronek has been awesome.

Don't tell that to Red Wings fans

 

[Artemi Panarin]

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

It’s hilarious to listen to national and Edmonton living in denial.

Cassie Campbell “The Oilers played great, this loss doesn’t mean anything”

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Oiler fans still trying to say the Vancouver is all Demko and the defence is terrible, I think there is some projecting going on... Vancouver's defence is vastly superior to theres

They came out aggressively the first 10 minute, at one point the SOG was 19-2 and 1-0 EDM

But the moment they let in the first goal, it was over. The meltdown was so obvious, Demko’s brain fart moment gave them some life but wasn’t enough, the shots were quickly equalized.

 

[Three On Zero]

Watching this over and over and seeing McDavid scurry away like a little rat after Hyman jumps in still makes me laugh
