Pre-Game Talk: Oilers ship sinking fast. They need an Island.

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Holy shit PJ not in top 6. Color me shocked.

Won’t matter if they continue to ignore solid systems play and basic peewee level d zone coverage.

Wonder what utter bullshit Woozy comes up with to blow smoke up everyone’s ass this post practice session.

“Uncharacteristic”.

What a joke.

Great, break up the best line...

Can't wait to score less than 3 again.

Holland really made sure this team has no wingers whatsoever.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Because THIS is the main problem with the Oilers….

Woodcroft is hovering at Eakins level idiocy and rapidly descending.

Woodcroft is an Eakins level idiot.

To be fair, they do suck at that despite their PP prowess. They've scored maybe 12 6-on-5 goals this decade.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Holloway continues to rot playing 5 mins on the 4th line than play 20 mins with special teams in the AHL. Hamblin or Shore can easily play 5 minutes on the 4th line and both can PK.

Holland continues to be a fraud with his “over-ripening”.

Maybe practice d zone coverage. Maybe practice the horrid PK. Maybe practice the useless breakout. Maybe practice battle levels.

It’s comical what this idiot coach views as a priority.

You're gonna love Woodcroft's next planned practise ... slam dunk contest on 8 foot rims and a 3 point shooting competition at the local gym. All this hockey, hockey, hockey ... it just gets grating after a while, lets have some fun.

Its so unspeakably stupid. Seems like theres much more wrong with this club than practicing 6-5. Maybe playing to a degree that we don't need 6-5 pull our goalie hail mary prayers.

Maybe the coach could take a mental note that you pull the goalie right away when you have a 4 minute PP that would leak into OT while one goal down.

They could all play in McD's basement if he's still living there...He has the full halfcourt setup there.

ps of course Yama still glued to the hip to Draisaitl. How did I know?

Lets party DRy line like its 2019. It hasn't work since but hey...

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

Oilers Pros:
McDavid
Kostin
Skinner might play well
Draisaitl looks grumpy

Oilers cons:
Islanders play good defense and have started scoring goals.
Barzal aka the guy we gave away for Griffin Reinhart is suddenly on pace for 85 pts.
Dobson, Nelson, Lee & Pageau are playing well.
Sorokin is very good.
This game is being played in Edmonton, Alberta.
Ken Holland is still asleep.

Yesterday was another skillz n drillz session - optional in fact because practice should be optional for this overperforming group.

Wouldn't practicing a 6-on-5 also involve D zone coverage?

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

They need 5v5 d coverage and PK practice. Battle level practice. Not 6v5 practice. They already do well defending 6v5 and have the best PP in NHL history which is what a 6v5 is on the offensive side of the puck.

It’s a joke.

I mean I guess, but the Oilers have never worked on their weaknesses for the past 15 years. Why would today be any different? Everything's hunky dorry for the paycheck collectors up top.

Also those lines suck. I f***ing hate our useless bottom six. Get f***ed with a rake, Katz.

So start sometime. Now would be a good day after gassing yet another home game.

The Islanders are just the kind of team that will pound us. Not liking the looks of this one.

Its like we anticipating we gonna be losing games and need to practice EN situations...unless Im misreading it lol

Let's be real, nothing they practice will sink in anyways. In fact I think you could argue that skipping practice would probably be helpful. This team does everything wrong. They're the shittiest shits of the shit blizzard.

They need to go full George Costanza.

You're doing it for them.

I hope theres not as many reruns or sequels in the cards. Its good but gets old.

Marathoning shows sounds like a much better use of my time than watching this team. I have a shitload of content on Disney+ I want to watch.

Sending Yamo, Bouchard and PJ to the press box for a game or 10 might be the attention getter the underachievers need. (But whose kidding who - this coach coddles players and there’s a lot of concrete in those craniums)

Kostin McDavid Hyman
RNH Draisaitl Holloway
Foegele McLoed Janmark
Shore Hamblin Ryan for the 5 minutes the 4th line plays here.

The problem with press boxing any of those players is that you have to play Shore or Murray or whatever other replacement level player we have. Our depth is laughably bad at all positions except center.

I'm tired of RNH being put on the wing. Stop f***ing doing it.

Play Nemo. Shore at 5 mins in the bottom line is no big deal.

Press box these 3 useless underachieving players for a game. Send a message.

But Woody wants to be their buddies and he’s more stubborn than Tippett. That’s a real bad combo.
