Lines will be interesting


next 7 days

San Jose
then onto the Ducks on the 23th and Kings on 25th


this could be our season if we do not go at least 2-1

and it goes without saying a 0-3 road trip--

pinks slips go out for GM and Coach

Does it though? We just lost what, 7 of 8 games after making the playoffs once in 4 years?

And these are the 3 games that break the camel's back?

 

[CookiesAndMilk]

Everything will be fine. Oilers win all 3 and McLellan keeps his job.

 

[Jumptheshark]

they go 0-3 the season is done

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

Prediction.
They go 1-2 and the Oilers continue to struggle along for a little while longer without any changes.

 

[Yablo21]

They probably beat San Jose and lose to LA and ANA

 

[StoveTopStauffer]

Maybe we're just being nice and giving McLellan a lift home.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Anyone know the play by play crew for tonight, I suspect Sportsnet, reading the mood of Oilers fans, is going to stick Remenda front and center.

 

[LJellySlam]

Extremely butthurt that teams we used to Duke it out for top pick I.e Buffalo, Montreal, Toronto... Have all turned the corner this year. And here we are - massive holes everywhere except our top two players...

3 - 0 oilers tonight baby!!!

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

McDavid can score his 100th goal tonight.

 

[Oil Spill]

We lose tonight and play like the last 2 games TMac is gone.

 

[ElysiumAB]

I don't think he's wrong, these games - even this single game, is huge. The Oilers have a 50% chance of making the playoffs right now, these next few games probably swing that 15%.

And, selfishly, I want them to at least be in the hunt for a wild card spot as long as possible. Last season being hopeless so early was a huge bummer, missed out on a lot of what-could-have-been entertaining hockey games.

 

[9GWG9]

Tonight is the night folks! SJ will take this opportunity to put a nail in the old coaches coffin. TM gone within 24 hours which goes against all the insider information. (i.e. he aint going anywhere until the end of season depending on where we end up.)

 

[McBigYak]

18 games left this year, 16 against the West. We are lucky the Pacific is dog shit, just need to take advantage of it now.

 

[Jumptheshark]

I think the oiler management had the belief these three games coming up could be the season

 

[Del Preston]

Maybe we're just being nice and giving McLellan a lift home.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

Boys probably come out strong and probably win this one for the new coach.

One game doesn’t make a season though.

 

[Paperbagofglory]

No Skype or Cab ride treatment?

The Oilers are learning as an organization, slowly.

 

[McDrai]

3rd winningnest coach in NHL history and from the area. I'm on board but a coach can only take this shitty roster so far

 

[NegativeNelly]

I wonder how Hitchcock feels about MacT going behind the bench with him for a few games.

Kinda, They still brought him along to San Jose for a roadie.

 

[CycloneSweep]

It'll be interesting to see the starting lineup in a few games

 

[Paperbagofglory]

His Wife is from there i thought? Made sense he lived there for nearly a decade. Its actually the nice thing to do.

 

[Burnoutboi]

I’m glad this game is on late. Not sure if I’m willing to watch, but I’ll stream the audio.

For the record, Hitchcock creeps me out. Always has, always will.
