Around the League - 2023/24

[Mighty Makar]

Bednar is next.

 

[John Mandalorian]

Translation: This was decided after the San Jose game but Holland waited a game just to let everyone know he’s calling the shots.

 

[LOFIN]

Why didn't they just pull the trigger after the Sharks game, obviously that's when they made the decision.

Bednar is next.

Lol nah

 

[the_fan]

Maybe Woodcroft got fired for winning the game in Seattle and ruining the tank

 

[GeoRox89]

Time to put him back in the closet. He no longer gets to be a real boy like Pinocchio

 

[dahrougem2]

McDavid is literally the GM. First Conor Brown now his old coach.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

 

[Ceremony]

knob lock? Alright, I'm not here to judge.

Yeah, pretty obvious what's going on here lol.

 

[BaconNater]

Not sure how that works out in Edmonton. Is McDrai going to walk all over this new guy now too?

I still say he looks more like the emergency autopilot from “Airplane!”

How is this different than MacKinnon "scouting" Drouin this off-season and then later this season MacKinnon insisting that Dominique Ducharme becomes interim coach after they fire Bednar?

 

[HockeyFan100]

Skinner lets in 6 goals - waive Campbell
Oilers win a game - fire Woodcroft

Alright then

 

[Vk1ing]

it's been bleak for us in the last little bit but I always take solace in the fact we aren't the oilers lol

 

[wayninja]

And yet mods locked our Fire Bednar thread.

 

[CobraAcesS]

Bednar is next.

Not happening, but I am starting to think the yoyo line juggling with so many new players is having an effect on how long it takes this team to get their shit together.

Tried Drouin, Mack and Nuke, then goes back to Mikko & Mack after a few shifts, and puts Tartar and Drouin with Ryjo..

It's a f***in comedy show right now. Apparently if there isn't a magic combination there can be no consistency.

McDavid's old agent is also President of Hockey Ops lmao

Alright then

The decision was likely already made earlier and only made public when they could announce the next guys. They were also on a short away tour and now back home for couple of games, which might also have factored in.

 

[LOFIN]

I mean I guess it's classier to at least fly him home instead of telling him to take a f***ing cab.

Haven’t seen that movie in forever and had to look it up but yea that’s a good one too. That man could be the greatest coach ever, lead us to 5 straight Cups and while I would love him for that it would still hurt my head that he looks like a doll from a horror movie

 

[dahrougem2]

You could tell post-game last night he was done. No celebration, Oilers skated off the ice asap and Woodcroft just walked into the room without a smile. He knew.

Am I the only one who doesn't understand why people are gushing at that Bedard goal? It's nice, but also something Rantanen has done multiple times.

If it was anyone else but Bedard, people wouldn't mention it at all.

It’s a great goal from the future star and face of the league. What’s the problem?
