I just need to rant right now because I have to say it... its over. The core and whatever we had here is over. We are at .500 with 30% of the season in. We have good goaltending and still just suck ass. Its the beginning of the end. With Gaudreau a pending UFA in a season and a half, the window has all but slammed shut.
Brad and Ward.... I have nothing nice left to say. The bs that has come from this front office the last couple years is just endless. Besides the Pejorative Slured comments that Brad brought to the press today, there is just so much that STINKS with this team. The mismanagement of players like Bennett and Kylington, the stupid Kulak situation, the horrible free agent signings have that destroyed our cap situation, the terrible pro-scouting that has failed to plug holes with our team, the failed moves that have been leaked left right and centre (do you blame Brodie for wanting out after that bs?),and the coaching...
Watch this team... like wtf?! Every game they start slow and can't get going, but oh it gets so much worse. The horrible neutral zone play, the bench management (is there any?), the lack of any cohesion between players in general. I have to say, Brad somehow upped himself and got a worse coach than GG. He's hired 3 coaches and royally f***ed up 2 (and Peters also blew up and our season was drowning with him too until the team decided to go on a 7 game winning streak and then flounder at .500 again). Owners being cheapasses suck but you need to find the right guy... but that's ok we can have Ward spew his BS in the press.
Seriously, the third period of the Oilers game tonight was a disgrace. No net drive, horrible line combos (Froese who is running a 20%xgF getting third line minutes...), and again just a lack of cohesion. Too many times this season, just too many f***ing times.
And the situation in the room... oh my god this team is like a Kardashian reality TV show with the drama. I hate to say it, but I get a funny sense it starts with Giordano from the way down. Tkachuk has been a non-factor since the players meeting which set the country club tone of not playing hard. Like WTF is wrong with wrong this team? I hear about this emphasis on character and whatever f***ing bullshit from higher ups, and this team is just FLAT. Now no one can defend Tkachuk for his shit play, but something has to be fishy when players make those comments and the season rolls into the pisser. And sorry to say, but Gio's tenure here has been failure after failure after f***ing failure. I can't believe I'm saying it, but I won't miss him if he gets exposed.
Lets be clear, this team is NOT making the playoffs. I can't see how everything just turns around with their play rn. Bitch about the oilers being top heavy, but their depth sure outclassed our "depth" tonight. We don't have the talent to overcome all the hurdles rn, and its really too bad because there was potential here. We saw that team 2 years ago that was the class of the conference... I guess we can all share good memories about that regular season (and forget the last 4 games of that season).
I have a funny sense this season is going to be very rocky from here on out. This is a team falling apart. Goodnight HF, I'm ready to suffer with y'all for the rest of the season.
