[The Moose]

I miss Kruger. Why did they fire him, why??? Eakins is the dumbest coach we had in the last 8 years.

We possibly have the dumbest GM in the history of the Oilers also.

Scratching Petry might be the most indefensible thing the Oilers have done in years. What an accomplishment

Totally agree.

I spend a lot of time defending the Oilers. But if he is in fact a healthy scratch (as has been reported) I have nothing. This is a terrible decision.

I say this with all due respect (maybe it was covered earlier in the thread) but with the injury to Eberle shouldn't they give Yakupov a shot at the first line? I know it has only been two games, but hasn't he earned it for atleast a one game try?

Whats the 1st line with Nuge and Eberle out? lol

I bet if you asked Eakins he'd say we have 4 first lines.

didn't he miss most of training camp?

He has not looked good and Nurse needs icetime--math makes sense to me

He's looked better than Nikitin

No, and my thinking on that is that Yak's looked good where he is for the first time in awhile. Definitely give him a few more minutes a game, but no need to move him from where he's starting to show signs of success.

He's been the best d man. Bottomline. Petry shouldn't be sitting out. Eakins is a complete idiot.
