Post-Game Talk: Endgame

[Ck1]

Some goofer who shows up when the team is losing to add to the incessant negative dialogue.

I've had the same outlook for several seasons now on this board regardless of who the GM has been. Good teams are built not bought. Even when we were winning this year, it was apparent that this team was riding some very fortunate stats to a modest record. Jumping on the rental market always would've done more harm than good. But you won't see me suggesting that Holland shouldn't be looking to shake up the depth of this roster. Of course this kid is yammering about Hall.

Good teams are about 80% built 20% bought but to be a good team you need depth to be able to buy the needed 20%. Something the oilers need a lot more of is depth

He's a better value than Chiasson IMO. Flames castoff garbage.

Yes, but lucky us, Chiasson is definitely under contract next year.

Chiasson is waiver garbage on any other NHL team

on the Oilers he gets a 2-year deal LOL

 

[Rusoilers]

Is it too late for Katz to sell the team??

This board should pool all our money into one and buy the team

A big mistake. My biggest disappointment of the offseason. He was league minimum fodder.

woah. woah, do not make me put my beer down. Also. your gm is 6 months old, give him a chance everyone.

I have. This team is drowning and needs some help. The coaching isn’t helping with that, so I look to the GM.

I'm with you. The KHL is more legit than the NHL btw.

 

[McDNicks17]

Hey. they expanded to China. Why not Canada too?

 

[Mc5RingsAndABeer]

This is the most embarrassing thing about the franchise. How many top picks have we had? How much cap space have we wasted? All of the unprecedented failure we've observed and we can't even have a semblance of an NHL roster.

 

[McDrai]

As long as we can relocate the team once we have bought it.

 

[Oilhawks]

I'm sure a KHL China team would be better than the Oilers.

 

[harpoon]

FWIW Kreuger would disagree with this and his opinion on the player is one that has risen to every new challenge thats been put on him. He has some skill, has a solid game

Is he better than Pakarinen or Slepyshev or other Euros this team has given up on in the recent past? Meh, I don’t know that he is.

 

[Mc5RingsAndABeer]

I never leave games early. I always stay to the very end since I’ve paid to be there and you never know. This goes for all sporting events.

I left with 5 minutes left tonight. That was a first for me. Brutal.

Awful crowd tonight. Dead silent, absolutely embarrassing. I had this game circled since the schedule came out. Can’t wait to cancel my season tickets.

I'm going to cancel mine too. I've only had them for a couple years but I figured watching McDavid would be worth the price of admission alone. It's not (at least not in the current obstruction/intereference environment).

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Thank God our awesome CEO threw Reider under the bus so we could replace him with junk.

 

[CupofOil]

In what way?

Did he just give up the ghost and say sucking is ok? Say we’re visually better?

Because I have an extremely difficult time believing this.

They asked him if he's worried and he said no not at all, we're still in a good spot.

It would be nice if one of these guys got upset once in a while, say that this is completely unacceptable or show any kind of emotion rather than brushing it off like it's no big deal.

It IS a big deal. They're 13-16-4 (13-20) since the 7-1 start, have 4 wins in their last 15 and were just embarrassed on home ice by their chief rival.
You should be worried Connor, you should be pissed, somebody should be pissed anybody.

 

[OilerTitanFan]

Games like these make me understand why Holland isn't in it for the short-term.

The forward depth on this team is startling. We aren't one or two pieces away.

If Holland makes a trade to patch holes or gets a top 6 forward, I'm going to lose it. Stay the course and accept this season the way it is. No need to unload our first round picks just to squeeze into the playoffs.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Is he better than Pakarinen or Slepyshev or other Euros this team has given up on in the recent past? Meh, I don’t know that he is.

In that respect its trading deckchairs. But one can't fault Holland for that as those Chairs were already tossed into the ocean.

I agree with your point that its better to consolidate and sign a few players that are decent rather than more but Holland on his hunch went the bullet approach and along with Tippett wanting there to be some competition for spots and see who would fit in.

The reality is Holland was given an untenable situation here, thanks Chiaf***.

Pacman and Slepy would be more effective and could use their size in games like this.

Connor already knows the season is toast.

Is he better than the trash we have? Haas is a better player overall than that loser.

lol, CP not fun enough tonight?

FWIW Kreuger would disagree with this and his opinion on the player is one that has risen to every new challenge thats been put on him. He has some skill, has a solid game, you don't get a lot of pts in Edmonton in Bottomsix and with the oilers lacking pmd, puck transition etc.

Despite the Oilers being completely chaotic Archibald, Haas, Sheahan have looked OK anyway. At least with these 3 they are playing like they want to remain in the NHL. I'm less sold on Granlund bringing it.

I don't mind Nygard either. Him and Haas are basically rookies along with Bear and Jones and PRussel. Yikes.

 

[Oilhawks]

Actually, if we had a bottom 6 full of Haas' we'd be leading the Pacific, joke of a division it is.

RNH for Saad and Kubalik

 

[oilexport]

From Lowe, mact, tambo, chia, and now Holland. This is the reason we have had disaster for 30 years now. We have smashed every loser record known to man, apes, and dinosaurs. Ever since the first recordings on cave walls were scribed. Even before that, but there's no written proof.
