Wow

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Unless I missed it there was no tribute video for Tyson Barrie. Did they show something on tv?

 

[mkatcherin00]

Would anybody be surprised if McDavid "Prongers" his way outta here before his contract? I would not blame him.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Nurse sucks? Wow, never would’ve guessed that.

 

[Duder54]

Breaking news: Nurse isn't nearly as good as his contract indicates he should be.

 

[BIeucheeseWithWings]

thats why im not entering panic mode.

we went 7-7 last november and lost to some shitty teams while beating some good ones and the general mantra was that we were f***ed.

if at the end of the month the same it happening, as we are doing worse win % wise, than i may hop on the panic bandwagon

Lol.

 

[CROTT]

Does there need to be a fire Dustin Schwartz chant every home game till he actually gets fired?

 

[Vagabond]

McDavid has been expressionless even before his injury. He's not himself at all and thats not a good sign.

 

[flashy]

Lol.

XD

 

[rboomercat90]

Lol- chia has nothing to do with this. This is all Holland. He had 25M cap space 3 years ago and pissed it away. He had money open up when Keith retired and pissed it away. Chia’s left Holland a bottom 6 that had a higher GF% than anything Holland ever iced (last year being the outlier)

Holland has been worse than Chiarelli for no other reason than there was still time in the McDrai window to fix Chiarelli’s mistakes. There is no time left now.

 

[mkatcherin00]

The Oilers were the best team in the NHL down the stretch last year, won a playoff round and gave Vegas a good test in round 2. Someone tell me why Woodcroft decided to introduce a completely new system this year? Honest question.

Jonothan Marshawhatever living rent free in Woody's head. That's why lol

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Would anybody be surprised if McDavid "Prongers" his way outta here before his contract? I would not blame him.

He should. Any halfway competent team would’ve been in the middle of a mini-dynasty right now with him.

 

[McFlash97]

He was great last year, and he would always follow up a loss with a big performance. He was substantially better than Campbell last year

The big stage definitely rattled him, but Campbell had just put up the literal worst statistical season from any Oilers goalie in history. I get why Jay stuck with Skinner, I would’ve too

Stop defending his stupidity last year. Everyone knows he made the wrong decisions at key times with his goaltending.

Both goalies are bad. One just has the ability to play lights out then back to being shitty. Skinner.. well he's just blah

 

[booyakasha]

Every player on the Oilers are over paid.
Every. Single. One.

 

[VainGretzky]

Broberg took in a very strong 1st round draft, and Holloway looks like a dud 2 other 1st round picks moved out to sign a player who has not played in a year with a serious injury gift-wrapped with a contract that will destroy our cap next season , Yea time for Holland to go

 

[EchoesoftheEighties]

Lmao this team is ass

 

[Frank the Tank]

Literally running into each other all over the ice

 

[nexttothemoon]

Forget about that 21 game stretch last season folks... that's looking like lighting in a bottle at this stage.

Different personnel... had that "Ekholm bounce" and they somehow got decent goaltending during that stretch.

Those days are over.

They were 6-6 in the playoffs (with a better roster than they have now)... and it's been downhill from there.

 

[BudBundy]

No- this is all on Holland- sorry. Barzal? Look at who Holland f***ing passed on. Holland didn’t have to give Nurse 9.25M. This is 100% on Holland- sorry

What are you smoking? Who did Holland pass on? In a draft where he was t with the team?

Yes, he pretty much did have to give Nurse 9.25 or he would’ve walked UFA.

Look back as Chiarellis moves and tell me the epic mismanagement there hasn’t had repercussions into the Holland era. Again, Holland doesn’t get a free pass either.

 

[Jumptheshark]

I am a gambling man and I will say over not by much though

5 Mins 4 Ftg said:
Over / under on Lavoie ice time set at 6 Mins.

I’ll take the under.

I had him over 6 minutes--does that mean I get to coach the team?

 

[OfCorsiDid]

2014 vibes

 

[Soundwave]

Every player on the Oilers are over paid.
Every. Single. One.

Not the GM though right? Lol

 

[Ninety7]

Every player on the Oilers are over paid.
Every. Single. One.

Some more than others. A lot more.

 

[MoontoScott]

Who gives a f***. Just waive him and let him rot in the AHL.

I understand the frustration but you would only save a small fraction of his cap hit. Unfortunately bad contracts have long lasting effects.

 

[McOilers97]

McDavid has been expressionless even before his injury. He's not himself at all and thats not a good sign.

Yeah, he has yet to have a signature game this season where he totally takes over. Usually he’s good for a few per week.
