I don't know. I guess I just don't agree with his mentality.
If a coach of mine said, "Come on, guys! Let's try to be the 10th worst(thank you ) team in the league!", I'd probably laugh in his face.
In my opinion, the only thing you should be playing for is pride at this point. Not some imaginary goal.
I'm sorry Krueger but the goal going into a season should be making the playoffs to challenge for a Stanley cup not competing for 21st place.
Krueger: "We don't want the Oilers picking in the top 5 in the Draft."
Are you guys kidding me? What coach wants to lose? What coach is going to publicly say "oh yeah disappointing win tonight we were hoping to work our way into the bottom 5." Winning should always be a goal.
I somewhat agree with you guys wanting to lose and try and snag Barkov, but no matter how imcompetent he may be, this is an NHL coach we're talking about. His job is to win.
Also, I'm sure his goal was the playoffs when the season started. Now we're out so do you expect him to say "well, fat chance we're making the playoffs this team blows, we're going to go out there and lose."
Jeez, I rag on Kreuger as much as the next guy, but this is ridiculous.
Yeah, who would want Monohan or Barkov?. Idiot. Fire him already.

Why only 3 pages when we win? Wow this board is fickle
Any other team and we'd have lost this one.
Nice to see Ebs look like the guy i loved last season...just too bad he cannot perform the same way against teams with D...
Isn't it good that we don't just roll over and die so that we can draft a few spots higher every year? That should breed a loser mentality if anything.
Why is everyone so up in arms about Krueger's comment about finishing 21st?

It's about trying to finish as high as you realistically can, and I'm perfectly okay with that. Way too many people blatantly choose to interpret this as though the goal was 21st when the season started just because they dislike Krueger.

He is not the advertised motivator he was sold as when hired that is for sure. How can a player or fan feel good with those comments.
Glad Eberle is showing up now, hopefully his stock value rises. And maybe we finally have a sell high GM. Hey somebody was asking where we were.
Only got a chance to see the third last night, but glad about all the Eberle reports. I think if you look at how things have gone for him this year as opposed to every one since he was drafted it's the first where he's had to deal with real adversity, both with injuries and issues off the ice.
Development has to take the mental state into account, and Ebs had to figure out how to play focused through adversity this year. We all know he's had an off year, but he's still on pace for 60 in a full season. I think we'll see a tougher, more mature kid coming out the other side of the summer.
edit: I've been waiting for them to put 91-93-14 together FOREVER. How did they look?
I'm 100% certain 21st place wasn't the goal going into the season.
it's only 3 games because how bad the oilers are. we've all kind of given up on the season.
the last few games mean nothing.
just waiting to see if the oilers complete another tank job and remain one of the worst teams in the history of hockey, if not professional sports.
Where is all the "trade Eberle" posters?
This guy better not be going anywhere with the new regime at the helm
Or should I say old regime LOL
