Taylor Fedun wins. He'll be in the lineup tomorrow. First NHL game for him, right?

I'd say "break a leg" but that might be a bit, eh, inappropriate.

No but seriously, congrats to the kid, good on him for staying on course after that horrible injury.

Fine. I can be a member of a fickle lot. I guess if I'm fickle I can base my patronage on whatever my fickle little Tier 1.5 self wants. I'm going to pick.... WINS! You win, my fickle heart will be waaaaay less fickle.

It's so pathetic that we are a month into the season and already mathematically eliminated from the playoffs. Basically.

**** this team. There is no fixing this pathetic squad unless we get rid of Eberle, Yakupov, J.Schultz, Smyth, N.Schultz, Ference, Dubnyk, Labarbera, Jones, Acton, Hamilton

Hey guys. Islander fan comes in peace. Didn't realize the record you guys had and just saw it. I'm amazed with the talent on paper not producing. I had to ask for my own knowledge, and where better to come, but what is the problem? You guys have so many amazing players. I really want to see the isles and oilers head to head in the near future. We have our own problems but can anyone give me insight into the problems?

1. Very soft team. At least 1 roster player gets injured every game.
2. Awful defensively.
3. Not enough depth role players.
4. Embarrassing special teams.
5. Bachmann and Dubnyk are out thus putting the team into the need for the 4th string goalie. Oh and goaltending has been awful.
6. "Skilled" players like Eberle and Yakupov not getting it done offensively.
:help:

Fun fact.

If the Oilers could rise up and be a .500 team the rest of the year, they'd have a 97% chance at picking top 5 (unless someone outside the bottom 5 wins the lottery. Also, such a record would give them a 69% chance at finishing last in the conference. Yippee. Progress!!! :handclap::yo:

:help:

on that last point...that generally the Oilers are always trying to push the defense back to create space and it doesnt work at all anymore. IF guys are managing to beat the coverage it is fleeting and there is no puck support or predictable passing leading to fairly constant turnovers. Considering that they have very limited size and toughness against the boards the dump and chase plays are limited to the lines that can't score.

Also, the refs are dumb and they smell bad.

Yakupov is already -12. How is that? Who are his linemates? I'm amazed that so many players are off. And trust me...i know bad goaltending and defense. Isles would be in first if we had just a tad more d and a goalie that wasnt a rebound *****. I think this team needs that "ahaa" moment where they beat the crap out of a team just to bring out their rage. I hope you guys turn it around. Look at the av's...out of nowhere!

The game is going on, the team on the ice getting disemboweled, and J Schultz is munching potato chips with a grin and all the mirth of a kid in a movie snacking. (while the coach behind the bench would probably not approve of the dietary regimen)

While Taylor Hall is next to him texting/checking messages with complete detachment.

Maybe not symbolic, but not something I'd be be doing or would think is good taste at the time.

Eakins has several times stated that when he was ever an HS, or injured, he wouldn't be spending time up there munching popcorn, he would be paying attention to the game, taking notes, and learning something from watching.

T Hall, J Schultz not being particularly good students but then we already knew that.

You can't fault the kid for having the munchies..

I don't think some oilers fans realize how ****ing gold this is.

3 overalls and 5 years of tanking.



And we're still drafting top 3-5.

I for one cannot believe they are not taking notes on every single play. Nor are they wearing their jerseys or cheering on the team. They should honestly be working out while watching the game.

You wanna get rid of a bunch of guys but choose to keep Hemsky, Gagner, Smid, Belov and Larsen?

You must be beyond frustrated, your not thinking clearly.

No point in using the proper words to describe Stauffer, the filter would pick them up. He is one giant POS.

It was hilarious J Schultz looked amused and like he didn't have a care in the world while his club was getting murdered on the ice.

A club that has been blown out 4 games in a row at home and outscored 17-2.

Not the least bit upsetting apparently. Too bad Shultz's detached grin didn't match the concern of everybody else in the building.

It is caption worthy.

This is what you're mad about?

Plus, I think that GIF has potential to be used whenever we see Schultz make another careless/lazy play in his own zone.

It's too bad about the obstruction... could've been perfect.
