lol! Careful you don’t want your sensitive tailbone hitting the boards like that, Rut!

If they fire the coach that's a bad move IMO. Hiring Quenneville with Bowman at GM is Hulk Hogan joining the nWo levels of negative attention.

Negative? Scott Hall always took a survey for the good guys. They were very fair.

I saw that. I cannot lie, amused me.

Had to be a leaf

Maybe only time I have clapped for a leaf player in a few decades.

Edmonton is weaker this year but as long as McJesus and Drai stay healthy abs don't have crap years they will be a dangerous team this year.

The offense is stacked (though not sure about a checking line). The D group is one of the worst in the league and so is the goaltending.

They’re so screwed with McJesuses contract coming up.

Almost 23 mins of icetime for Kovacevic today, 2nd most of all Devils d-men.

Again, I'll judge once Hughes and Pesce come back.

 

[Inanna]

Nothing warms my cockles then the Oilers losing back to back.

You have more than one?

 

[Buffdog]

Goddamn it, you made me look up the origin of the saying lol

Mcdavid would look good as a Blackhawk.

 

[Inanna]

Then you know the correct answer would have been 4.

I think both nemec and casey are waiver exempt

 

[bustamente]

Did the Oilers listen to everyone blowing smoke up their asses and thought showing up would be enough. That's an ugly start

 

[WolfgangPuck]

Oilers Plan B might be to fire their head coach if they continue to suck this month. Always seem to work for them.

 

[B33R LEAGUE]

Rutger is getting some shade over on the Pens Board..

 

[Aggie204]

Coilers with the trifecta of loses. Suck it.

Love to see it.

They had 1 goal disallowed for goalie interference (Perry) and another disallowed due to being offside.

I am THANKFUL for their struggles. Happy Thanksgiving Jets fans!!!

 

[Larabee]

They’re so screwed with McJesuses contract coming up.

And the Bouchard contract.

 

[Channelcat]

And the Bouchard contract.

That could end up being worse than the Nurse deal. I'm really not optimistic about the future in EDM.

I don't expect them to return to the SCF anytime soon. Last season was their golden opportunity. It won't come again for years.

Decades and stars aligning (for first overall picks)

I am not really giving too much weight to how the Oilers are starting the season. They are shooting 3% after 3 games and that will normalize soon. They will be in the playoffs again this season if McDavid doesn’t get injured.

However, winning cups is always extremely tough so we’ll see if they have enough to get back to the finals again this season. Their goaltending is such a wild card, it could sink them so easily.

I have no doubt the Oilers will recover enough to make the playoffs. To much talent not too. However, their defense and goaltending aren't really SC winning caliber, IMO.

Rutger getting scratched today - if he is in the press box against us in 6 days the "Where is Rutger" chants will be amazing
