MacTavish is the most patient impatient man I've ever seen.
Glad I missed this one, sounds like the boys weren't playing that hard, surprise surprise. The makeup of the team in regards to the two top lines needs a change in the worst way. Keep changing the coaches all you want, check that get rid of Buchberger and Smith, however it is quite obvious the young guns are either not listening, not good enough or just plain crap. Sitting at the bottom of the Western Conference is not acceptable and the litany of excuses from the fans, the media and the organization itself is just maddening. It is not bad puck luck, just need some more games, too young, or corsi will change it around, the Oilers are a bad hockey team. At the end of the day I also believe at the end of the season after missing the playoffs again they will need a new number one goaltender.
Back to normal. Yak looks like he should be in okc for a while, learning how to play and gaining confidence.
its common to lose 1st game back after a long roadtrip.
Oilers didn't deserve to lose tonight. Holtby stole the game. It happens sometimes. Two years ago, right around this time, that was us on the other end of things.
I don't know, i was actually pleased with the first 2 periods. They were obviously done once the Caps scored the 3rd goal but they deserved a much better fate after 2. If they continue to play like they did in the first 40 minutes, they will string some wins together. I'll choose to focus on the positives tonight.
That is such a poor excuse and one I expect teams such as the BlackHawks would consider unacceptable. Good teams find ways to win, the losers always have an excuse.
You're the biggest apoligists in this room . When will you accept the fact from Management down this team has been a comedy of errors , what are you protecting , do you work for the Oilers? they do no wrong in your eyes ever. Denial at its best.Given that you didn't even watch the game, I'm not sure how you can judge the game.
