twitter just said the AHL link was removed?
Yup, just checked the original link posted.
Nikitin is about the only weak point in that equation. Unless he turns things around he certainly looks like a bit of a failed experiment.
Neither Bachman's nor Pinizzotto's recalls show up there either so it doesn't mean too much. Looks like the AHL transactions are only for additions into the AHL. Recalls to the NHL or demotions to the ECHL don't show up.
Marincin Petry
Nikitin Fayne
Klefbom/Nurse Schultz
Press box - Ference
Ference IMO has been easily our worst defenceman this year and he needs to be sat. I could couldnt care less that he is the captain bench his ass
damn, sorry for false alarm, I thought that ahl.com is reliable source
Simple. Its the SWARM system.
I don't think the SWARM is in place this year.
I don't think you're wrong about Marincin being called up. There's a CBA rule regarding "off days" for all purposes. Maybe it relates to that? -shrugs- Another cba rule missed by oilers brass. Impressive work, mact and crew
It sure looks like it. Wide open men for goals along with laughable pictures of the defense with it.
To be fair this was an AHL announcement not an Oilers announcement.
I have seen no official announcement from the team.
Do you really think that the team is actually executing a system.
Looks to me like a lack of execution is a pretty obvious issue.

I see a team that's not executing a system and a system that's not working. Its a mess on both sides tbh.
He doesn't seem like a very good communicator so I'm not surprised tbh.
You and everybody else (including me) dont know what the system is.
How do you know that its a system problem?
That's the problem. What system are they even trying to use? Whatever it is, its not working with the players. The constant pinch by the D that have lead to many 2on1's, how two d leaves a wide opponent right in front for a goal. Playing Schultz 20+ minutes every game so far, and he's one of the worst defensive players on the team. Scratching Petry for Hunt's "PP" when he's bad on ES.

You answered your own question.
Well..how do you know for sure its the system or the lack of execution? Petry playing at red line and letting a player get behind him on the PK is but one example. I have a hard time believing that the coaches wanted Petry to play that scenario the way he did.
Also...scratching Petry has noting to do with the system but (from what the team has said) it was about improving the PP with Hunts shot. i dont think the payoff was worth it but Ramsey clearly did.
People tend to forget that the defence and PP is coached by Ramsey.
Really...so because the team hasn't publicly stated what system they are implementing means that there isnt one?
