Probably just trying to scare them into playing better. "Win games or pack your crap"

He meant to say "I will start the rebuild plan in 7 years".

That Holloway incident was scary as heck to watch. The fact he played on for another hard 15 to 20 seconds is impressive. Adrenaline is a heckuva "drug" when it kicks in. Glad to hear and see he is doing well.

He expanded on those comments and basically just said, he meant they might have to start calling up kids from the AHL and giving them a chance and see how it goes. He said none of the main pieces would get moved, theyve been "rebuilding" the past 2 years but want to remain somewhat competitive for the fans.
Hes talking about moving out guys like novak, parssinen, nyquist etc. said dudes like josi, forsberg, saros etc wont go anywhere.

Oilers: McDavid will be out 2-3 weeks nursing an injury.
Also Oilers: Just kidding you fools! He will play today.

I couldn't care less about his goal record chase. But their win loss record so far has been very impressive.

Oilers lmao. Puck watching by Bouchard and lazy backchecking by the Draisaitl line on the GWG. Shocker
They're just not doing anything creative in the offensive zone. Empty calorie possessions.

Probably some of the dumbest decisions you can see players make on that Oilers team.
They gave that game away.
To be fair, they (Oilers) fluked their 2nd. goal that Hyman got. Bad bounce off the boards went to Hyman for half an empty net.

Washington looks like a wagon. Ovi is rejuvenated, Strome is entering star territory, McMichael has taken the next step etc.

Oilers have zero depth. The top of their team is elite when they want to be, but if they aren't going the whole team suffers. They also got softer and Skinner is just too inconsistent a goalie. Chance Skinner gets hot and McDavid, Draisaitl, and Bouchard find their games again and Ekholm remains elite but it doesn't seem like an "everything goes right" type of season for them right now like last year. Special teams are also atrocious right now, lost too many PKers in the off-season.

They also got the highest 5 on 5 shooting % rn.
Like Strome's on ice shooting % 5 on 5 so far is 21.3% which is just insanely high. For reference it was only 8.5% last year, and 9.6% for his entire career. (even strength its even higher at 22.3% lol)

Anyone who predicted Nashville was gonna pass Toronto this year is looking pretty foolish right about now.
Almost as foolish as predicting Ovechkin isn't gonna break Gretzky's record. So hard to believe a forty year old three hundred pound Ovechkin can still score more goals than most NHL players. Only thirty three more to go until the record falls.
This is probably the most interesting story line in all hockey right now.
There really isn't a close second. Unless you, lol, count Burns' chase for, lol, Kessel's ironman record. In which case you'd probably be happy watching the chase for most secondary assists on empty net goals too.
I'm thinking the Leafs should have kept Carbery.
He's really turned the Capitals around. They're a completely different team since his arrival. On the other hand I'm glad the Leafs didn't hire Brunette.
Anyone who was wanting Brunette for coach is looking pretty foolish now too.
