Post-Game Talk: No Gulutzan turned out to be even worse than we expected.

[Shaquille Oatmeal]

Hope not. I want to get rid of this thing.

Bob did say the upcoming break would make it easier to replace the coach if that's what the Oilers are doing.

@Cloned and his Kirkland Brand version of cancel culture are getting it done as we speak. And I fully support it.

 

[KlefDown]

A lot of us are numb to the pain at this point.

half the fanbase only care about the success of McDavid and Draisaitl individually and don’t give a toss about the team performance

it truly is embarrassing

 

[Oilhawks]

Ya I’m f***ing pissed, I’m way past being upset

this is the third time this team is being driven into the ground in the last decade by old cucks who got gifted the job on some technicality bobby boy seems fit

and all fans seem to do is make excuses for them and are blind to the results

I’m with you on the frustration, and I have to remind myself this a lot, but you should only worry about the things you can control.

The most we can do as fans that might enact some change is stop supporting the team financially or try some sort of billboard campaign or something to embarrass ownership. They don’t really give a toss what we say here on on social media. And honestly, those two things have limited impact. Stopping the financial support is probably the most effective way of saying you want change

 

[KlefDown]

the audacity of Davey boy to say goaltending has to be better makes me honestly question this hockey IQ

you dipshit, you chose to sign a 40 year old smith to live on IR because he’s your illegitimate son or something and then blame a helpless Koskinen, who we all know is not good enough, after running him into the ground.

Holland deserves to get fired for having a goaltending tandem like this for 2 years and thinking it was serviceable.

After the Oilers lost game 2 against the Jets last year I gave up on their chances of advancing. Game 3 was a f***in' lol. Classic Oilers.

I haven’t bought a single piece of merch since the Hawks embarrassment in the bubble and lord knows I’ve wanted to and haven’t been to a game since then either

You’re completely right though, I’m beyond frustrated and need to focus on things only I can control

 

[McDNicks17]

I know it's Evolving Wild, but this really shows why it's hilarious when people say McDrai are the issue with this team. McLeod is pretty much the only non-McDrai linemate that isn't a replacement level player or worse right now.

P.S. Get rid of Barrie ASAP.

The weird thing with me is losing game 2 made me a lot angrier than game 3. I barely showed any emotion when we blew our lead in game 3 because some how I knew that as soon as we lost game 2 the playoffs were over for us anyway. I knew we weren't coming back in that series.

Oh yeah, that loss was devastating. Even if they didn't gag away game 3 it wouldn't have mattered. I called series over after game 2.

It’s a lot easier said than done, to be fair. I’ve had to remind myself of this a lot the last couple years, and far beyond just my personal reactions to hockey of course.

 

[McDNicks17]

I've pretty much lost all emotional attachment to the team. It's just entertainment now and it's probably why I barely make it through a period of each game since the Oilers product is horrible to watch about 99% of the time.

That one was terribad, Winnipeg one was probably even worse for me, I think I knew by about the middle of the 1st period of that series we had no chance.

Winnipeg was not "cooperating" and playing loosey goosey hockey like the regular season and we were in deep shit.

The worst part about this Tweet is that Dave Tippett is still the coach…

…also, my neighbour says we are the Cleveland Browns of hockey. What does that mean?

 

[Drivesaitl]

I'm switched back into just amused mode. Laughing at how the team is run, managed. Its interesting how automatic that transition feels by now. Its like an automatic transmission seamlessly shifting gears. We've had to do it so many times as Oilers fans preserving our remaining give a shit. I'm getting lots of sarcastic out of town likes as well so must be some shift happening.

Even a week or two ago I was still a daydream believer. or wanted to be.

It means we will suck forever no matter who we draft or trade for.

We are a highlight team. you watch everything you need in the highlights the next day

The Cleveland Browns are pretty much the least successful NFL franchise.

That he's not your friend.

The way the MSM is absolutely carving Koskinen today is so embarrassing and entirely predictable. Smith has been just as bad the last few years and they never have a word to say to him. Holland and Tipp have gutted this team and Spec, Jones and Matty all have the knives out for Koskinen and nobody else. He hasn't been good, but what a joke.

I just hate how all the analytics guys, the negative guys and everyone was right about this team. I wanted to believe the winning was sustainable even though the numbers said otherwise.
I hated that I KNEW this was coming and this team was way worse than the record showed but so many refused to see it.
But I mean, I enjoyed the winning when it happened.

As Yaremchuk keeps saying. When Ken Holland took over he needed a top 4 left d, a 3c and a starting goalie. We still need that.
Although McLeod might actually be becoming that 3c

Smith was one of the best goalies in the league last year, that buys you a bunch of rope.

Bob did say the upcoming break could make it easier to replace the coach if that's what the Oilers are doing. He also was critical of Tippett for how soft the Oilers have become over the last month.

Rob Brown said that last night as well and it makes sense. That said, no coach is going to suddenly make Mike Smith 10 years younger and Koskinen able to stop a beach ball. Holland needs to get a goalie. That said....the Oilers play an emotionless, passionless, passive game and that is on coaching. This team has so many warts that it feels we are back in 2018 again.
