Some of us are not new at hockey……..but fill your boots if you’re watching this Oilers team and you’re thinking “Cup Contender”.
Yep, it’s a playoff team but more so middle of the pack, tough to watch any of the games this year and think “boy these guys are cup contenders”. Obviously things can change with some moves but this looks like an old, slow, butter soft team.

You know Knoblauch stared right at that dangerous uncalled cross check to Skinner and thought “nah, not my place to say anything”. I sort of get why the players have come out flat for him this year.

Derek Ryan needs to sit. Nuge needs a f***ing wake up call and moved down line. Bouch needs a kick in the nuts to smarten up!

Hey coach knob,
Put me on a flight, I can backstop on Wednesday.

League minimum is fine but if you can throw me a bone with a 100k signing bonus, I'll even show up sober.

Why are we blaming goaltending when we have had issues scoring all year. Bottom 5 in goals a game and shooting percentage.

Nuge is an absolute black hole

That’s what happens when a team relies on wrist shots from distance and no one near the crease. Team is to used to practicing against Skinner

Pre-season doesn't end until mid-November apparently, in Edmonton anyway.

All issues are a concern, but I think it's probably also dawning on people that we have essentially no real starter. Just two guys who are back ups.

its unfair to always keep waiting for McDrai to carry us from mediocrity to the playoffs every year. They also arent getting younger. at some point in thier careers these guys will be worn out. We have no legitimate young depth.
