Almost seems like he has realized he is in over his head. This is some next level shitHitch should re retire. Watching the post game pressers is night and day from his hiring. Coaching the Oilers has stolen his soul and he sounds depressed. It's not good at his advanced age.
I will understand.
Who was the African American coach on the bench today?
Good pointIMO he needs a change. This team kills goalies over time.
The same thing has started to happen to Koskinen and its just going to get worse unless the roster is changed.
You think this is bad...just wait until Koskinen has played a season behind these players.
Allowed to hide and never face the music. Its sick sad situationI actually hate that piece of garbage. Him and a handful of others associated with the Oilers.
Sure but nuge is perfect at 6 mill. He is overpaid above that. He will ask for way more than that on an extension We can't always trade from a position of weakness. Personally I would trade Drai for the moon to fix this team. McDavid and Drai while good together play completely different, conflicting games. One is based on speed, one slows the game down. No one will agree but we're running out of options.Nor can we afford to lose another player who can play hockey at an NHL level.
He's out scouting for the next 4th liner who will play in the top six here.Allowed to hide and never face the music. Its sick sad situation

He is starting to look just like TM looked near the end of his term. After only 3 months.Hitch should re retire. Watching the post game pressers is night and day from his hiring. Coaching the Oilers has stolen his soul and he sounds depressed. It's not good at his advanced age.

Nicholson needs to go along with the rest of them.This game was over before it began. MacT? GTFO. Howson? GTFO Green? GTFO Sutter? GTFO I honestly dont give a damn about Lowe as I think he really is out of hockey ops. Nicholson needs to clean house and lets get the three year slog back to respectability started.
You are probably not wrong but the 3 you mention make up 60% of the oilers roster I actually like.Sure but nuge is perfect at 6 mill. He is overpaid above that.

He's been overpaid since he's been a kid. I don't trust any agent to be reasonable. If nuge is re-upped at 6, then I'm happy though.I can't really see him getting more than 6 million...

Yup, and it's painful to watch.we don't think the game at the same speed that other teams do. The drai gaff, the manning gaff, I see other teams make those mistakes too. when we do it, we don't have the skill to recover. When we get a similar opportunity, we again don't have the skill to capitalize.
Too bad Koskinen has been worse than Talbot the last month.
But one of them is soon to make 4.5 million for the next 3 years. Think about that.Too bad Talbot has been absolute garbage for almost 2 years. Just because Koskinen sucks doesn't make Talbot any good.
I slept through the game.
Can someone tell me what I missed?
Did any Oilers look good?
