Post-Game Talk: Oilers don't win yet again, management content to eat ass.

[Jimmi McJenkins]

im just venting

honestly just ignore half the shit I say

Fair enough, I can understand. I just aren't upset at either of those, because the team needs more bodies. Malone is a decent vet for a long time.

That said, the rest is brutal, I assume the Kane signing is incoming.

 

[Forgot About Drai]

Malone and Griffith over Marody is a....choice.

Dave must really hate country music, lol.

I don't mind the idea of bringing in Malone, and giving him the green light to rally the room. Sounds stupid, but obviously there's no one in that room that can do that right now.

Have him come in and tell the boys how he's spent a decade on busses and in crappy hotel rooms because he loves this game. Remind these guys how lucky they are to be playing in the NHL.

I hear what your saying but I'm not sure guys that get millions a year on guaranteed 6,7,8 year contracts really give a **** that Malone paid his dues and they will never have to.
That said yes somone or something needs to get there attention as not much has so far.

I think it’s whatever is in the water

All I know is the season and team isn’t even fun to watch anymore. I can understand a bit of a losing streak of 5 or 6 and maybe even two or three of those being in overtime. But this is just ridiculous getting killed in every game. It’s hard to even get excited or want to watch a game anymore. Something needs to change, but as usual it won’t.

I take solace in knowing every night Tippett goes to bed, he's thinking about his life after he gets fired

same with Holland

 

[sawchuk1971]

It’s a vicious circle. Losing teams continually overpay players to get them to stay which ends up making it harder to build a winning roster.

if thats the case, those losing teams should move to a better market to sign and keep players...

That’s not how that works. The nhl is a business and the oilers make money

Griffith has been playing very good as of late

edmonton is a small market city with a dumb owner...which combined is a messed up situation..

And still make the nhl money. Their owner may be a dumb hockey owner, but he’s a very good businessman

 

[Hank Plank]

I’d rather you make fun of us.

I'm all laughed out need to recharge.

So here's my prediction McDavid gets 4 points 2 goals.

 

[Arpeggio]

I understand Griffith but what does Marody have to do to get legitimate shot on this team? I get it, he has issues skating, but to write him off without even giving him a shot seems so unnecessary.

It's cute that you think that'll be enough to win the day.

 

[McDNicks17]

I've been counting down the days until they waived Turris' useless ass and now I care so little about this team that I can't even enjoy it.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Fair enough, good points.
This is just frustrating and I don't think a better goalie would save the season.

Absolutely a better goaltender would save the season.

 

[Took a pill in Sbisa]

I do like how much pressure the rest of the hockey world is putting on Holland now. Pretty much every NHL reporter is tweeting and podcasting about it at this point. Even a KHL team getting involved.

what a stud.

Who was that who was arguing with me that it would be no big deal and Holland wouldn't be feeling any heat?

Lol.

This is like 2 weeks ago. Lo and behold.

 

[Shaquille Oatmeal]

Wrong thread.

Fifth fewest goals per game too.

Florida and Colorado have scored more than double the goals the Oilers have since then haha.

I'm not saying this team hasn't regressed in all areas. It has underperformed everywhere but goaltending has absolutely sewered this team. With even league average goaltending this might have been salvageable trying to get through death by a thousand covids and rotating left defensemen that has gone like five prospects deep into the pipeline. Special teams have both cratered in part due to some missing core pieces.

They'd still be well into the negatives for goal differential at 5v5 with average goaltending because their offense has been non-existent.

One piece isn't changing this team.

If ever there was a case study of a team that completely comes undone with bad goaltending, this would be it.

Bad goaltending is like a virus to this team, it starts in net, but eventually just infects everything.

 

[Arthur Morgan]

Not an Oilers fan but what does Wallstedt do for the Oilers? They need to compete now, while #97 and #29 are under contract. For one, drafting goalies is especially difficult. For two, he's not likely to make the NHL in a full-time capacity for a few years and if the Oilers haven't found a starting goalie by then it's very possible #97 and #29 will either be gone or looking to leave.

They need a proven solution now. Not in 3-4 years...now.

this is a copy and paste of an answer I gave to another person who said the same thing

some goalie's become NHL ready faster than others.
and yeah there's a chance that he wouldn't be NHL ready for atleast 2-3 years. but still having a potential franchise goalie.
what are the chances the 22nd overall + 90th overall pick once are ready will fill or help fill the biggest need since Roloson left?
I could be forgetting a goalie in there though.

either way knowing you have an elite goalie prospect would likely be alot more refreshing over still searching
