Pre-Game Talk: Whenever vs. Ottawa: The Most Important Game for the future of the team?

[Cloned]

I can't believe it's come down to a mid-January game against the Senators that could decide the future path of this team. You can't make this stuff up lol.

Also haven't had to make one of these polls since the DoD days.

EDIT: Didn't realize the game might be postponed.

Not sure the game even gets played.

That said win or lose I think Tippett remains as coach till his deal expires. (Not a pole choice) Retaining him can’t be as simple as passing the Ottawa test. Can it??

I thought Ottawa can't postpone anymore games?

All the verbal this week is somehow leading to that seemingly preposterous assertion, lol.

Friedman reported that earlier but then Ottawa postponed 2 more games today and said it remains to be seen if they even play in Alberta next week.

Daley said the league might have to extend the season by a week today as well.

COVID is making this season even more prolonged and miserable than it already is.

Thought this game was postponed

Oilers win and get healthy, Tippett gets more leash. Oilers lose at home to the 3rd worst team and this team's owner quite possibly pushes the issue to fire the coach versus 21 player trade with Tampa Bay.

EDIT: Breaking News on the 21 player deal with Tampa. See video and substitute Tippett and Tampa Bay.

Happy Friday.

Not yet.

What happens if you resold your tickets and the game gets postponed?

 

[Jumptheshark]

Not yet.

Could have sworn I saw it on a post phoned list

Must have travelled in time and getting my multiverses confused

They are postponing so many of Ottawas games lately it’s hard to keep up.

 

[Del Preston]

Send him into retirement with a win.

How many coaches has Hopkins played for?
7 in 11 seasons?
Tippet has best winning percentage since Glen Sather and we've been totally screwed in many ways this season.

Maybe RNH is the problem?

How's Tippetts playoffs winning percentage compared to Sathers? I think this is the point. It's noticable that he has lost the room now and he isn't an elite coach anyway. It's time to move on.

He might not be able to get them to the playoffs. Sather... Lol. I wish

He could play for a million coaches, doesn’t matter if none of them are very good

 

[NeverForget06]

I should have heeded the siren call of Klefbom's shoulder turning to dust and Larsson choosing expansion much more than I did at the time. I think we all should have. What kind of team loses pieces of that value and survives?

(and replaces them him a couple of old pieces of meat that cost top dollar)

 

[OnTheBrink]

Go sens!

 

[Rengorlex]

Is there any word on whether the games postponed games are being played during the scheduled olympic break?? Watch Oilers have senseless, several week breaks and then go 26 games in 30 days to finish the season.

Yea it’s been widely reported most of the postponed games will tried to be run during the former Olympic break and Daley said today they may even have to add a week to the end of the season.

 

[YakDavid]

I find it unreal that they postpone other games but not this. Probably pissing off nhl players further about the whole Olympics and non participation. I understand it’s a business decision but at some point the games have to get played.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Saturday is an optional practice, Sunday full practice, Monday morning skate, then the game gets postponed 20 minutes before puck drop....

 

[CycloneSweep]

Where is the 4th option?
Oilers lose and Tippett stays
