Around the League '15-'16: The Coaches Are WRONG Edition

[Little Psycho]

God I hope so and that gif is fantastic

It's like a shot from The Office

 

[KOPITARRULEZ11]

Only the Kings could find a way to get shut out at home to this current Wild team.

And ottawa hasn't done much since upsetting us too this kings team is always so jekyll and hyde

 

[Jeff18]

Oilers down 7-1. It's only the end of the second. It's not going to end well.

Just wait until McJesus has an 8 point third period and they win 8-7.

Well according to NHL.com Gary Bettman has a solution for Oilers competitiveness:

 

[Minor Boarding]

I am not going to kick the dead horse on that Oilers performance. That said I wouldn't wanna be in that locker room after this one...

 

[TROLLCHUK]

Well according to NHL.com Gary Bettman has a solution for Oilers competitiveness:

That might work as Strait is the worst defender by a mile.

Yeah, should have been undertittled 5 on 0 pp on that one...

 

[TROLLCHUK]

Have to give credit to the Oiler fans as their game day thread is 40 pages deep.

They've had a decade to hone their skills complaining about their garbage team, they're pros now.

 

[Zero Pucks Given]

Well according to NHL.com Gary Bettman has a solution for Oilers competitiveness:

I bet Greiss still shuts them out, even with this "solution".

13 GA in 2 days, outscored 13-2.

 

[KingsCourt]

Oilers got a reality check

It's got to be doubly frustrating in a year when basically any decent team is going to make the playoffs in the Pacific, they still have a team that isn't good enough to get in.

Seems like this maybe working.
I hope more teams hire someone similar

 

[YP44]

big loss for the blues with Petro going on IR for at least 3 weeks

 

[kingsboy11]

Byfuglien signs extension with the Jets. 5 years 7.6 million average. There goes the pipe dream

 

[KopitarFAN]

A little bit relieved the Buff thing is done, thought him going elsewhere in the west was more likely.

 

[YP44]

so ladd to florida now?

the wet dream is over ..
although probably didn't have the assets to part with and would have gone to another western team...so at least there's that.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Winnipeg just broke my heart but yeah the silver lining is he isn't on the Ducks, Sharks, or anyone else in the West that we're currently directly competing with.

As good of a fit as Buff would have been player wise he would have been a terrible fit cap wise. I do not think I would have been ok giving up what he owuld have cost.
I am happy by this.
Would have been nice to see a different team over pay.

 

[KingCanadain1976]

So do we turn to Hamhuis or not a fit ?

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

So do we turn to Hamhuis or not a fit ?

I think Hamhuis is overrated--soft and mistake prone with the puck. But maybe some of that is his role. Not sure about it to be honest.
