Yes it's not, let's hope they turn it around or else hfoil will kill off eachother. Lol
One simple philosophy that all professionals follow:
"Don't get too high after a win or too low after a loss."
That advice has served me well in maintaining my perspective. I figure if the philosophy is good enough for the pros, then it's good enough for me.
Here's to a great season with lots of ups and downs. (But hopefully not as many downs...)

Please. For years I was blasted on this board for wanting to be patient.
See, I don’t like the Russell contract, didn’t like the Eberle trade because it was a downgrade.
The only difference I have is the idioticy sky is falling comments. Wanting a GM turfed 3 games into the season is a bad idea. Saying the Oilers are royally f***ed with Sekera out, even though Anaheim has more crucial injuries, is an Oiler only problem.
Hyperbole and Knee jerk reactions are two things I’ve dread for near ten years I’ve been posting here. They offer absolutely nothing of value in conversation. It’s not so much about having a different opinion, it’s about the short sighted, emotional based reactions that stink up the place.
I know I’m different because, I know this is a shocker, I like to wait and see if the team is going to do. A 3 game sample size does f*** all in that regard.

You thrust your pelvis, huh!
Who is saying to turf the GM right now, Tad? Anyone?
It's fine to disagree with my point of view but stop putting words into people's mouths.

Uh yeah. The team went from 28th place in the league to 103 points and within 1 game of the conference finals in one year so yeah, I'd say he's done a pretty decent job. He's not perfect but the good moves have clearly outweighed the bad.
You know what bothers me about this Fire Chia nonsense? If the team was 2-1 or 3-0, nobody would be uttering a word about Chia being a turd so this is obviously a ridiculous knee jerk reaction to 2 losses.

Okay, two people. Hardly a majority.
With that said if the Oilers struggle this season...
Even if the Oilers struggle this season, he won't be fired nor should he. He should be questioned if that happened, not fired. They finally have some stability, I hope ownership isn't as reactionary as the fans are.

Yeah like anyone's going to question him...
Maybe I have my sights set too high but anything less than a WCF appearance should be met with criticism and if the Oilers somehow miss the playoffs then Chia should be shown the door.
Who is really out there if Chia gets turfed? It could be worse of course but for the Oilers to miss the playoffs with the pieces he had to work with, he'd seriously need to work
Most of HFOil is already questioning him 3 games into a season after a wildly successful season, I can't imagine that he lasts 10 games here if they are below .500 by then. Not that he doesn't deserve some
criticism for not addressing the defense even though I need more than a 3 game sample size to determine if he failed in that respect.
Even if the Oilers miss the playoffs, which would obviously be a big disappointment, he's not going to get fired. This is still a young team with a Stanley Cup window that is just opening. Don't forget that they were well ahead of schedule last season so if they miss the playoffs this season, it's not the end of the line for this group. More like a bump in the road and an offseason of some retooling ahead. The GM isn't going to get fired if they have one down season even if that season is deemed a failure.
You make it seem like he's on the hot seat. I can pretty much guarantee that he's safe even if they have a down season.

Yes, but HFOil is not the media.
Missing the playoffs shouldn't be acceptable at this point unless the team gets decimated with injuries. The Oilers "window" may be opening but it won't be open forever. This is likely the Oilers best chance at a cup before McDavid's extension kicks in. Chia made some pretty smart moves prior to this point but this off-season was not a very good one for him.
That would be me! I have been saying it for a long time.
AHA!!
*points finger accusingly*
YOU.....are the reason that the Oilers will finish last in the league after falling so far this year.
I have no need to put words in your mouth because you literally just posted this.

There is a very large difference between right this second and at the end of a missed post-season.

I have a feeling the team and the players are much less concerned about the last 2 losses than most of the people on this board. I'm more concerned about the stupid by-week we get at the start of the season and how it has all the fans ready to launch themselves off a bridge.
Do you see the contradiction here? If you dread other people doing it, then why do it yourself?

Missing my point yet again. Im not defending the opinion that the Oilers are f***ed after 3 games. I am hundred percent against that view. You and I have the same view.
My point is making a knee jerk thread to mock certain posters is so hypocritical and comes off as policing of opinions. There are few posters in this thread who think they are the greatest Oil fans because they come into every thread posting the same "GUYS RELAX" or "TYPICAL HFOIL LOL". It gets just as annoying as the hyperbolic sky is falling crowd.

The point of this thread feels like we're not allowed to express concern about the team when there are things to be concerned about.
