It was probably that movie where it became clear that if Kyle Maclachlan was in something you were better off skipping it. Way too much hype and way too weird. Twin Peaks was another one that came out not long after and he’s been pumping out strange movie since.
Agreed with this too. Not a big fan of the actor. Or th movie. jebus that was bad.

Fair but firing another coach is not the solution..

I see the fanbase turning on Knob but it's very misdirected. The core issues are always the same core issues. Too much reliance on McDrai, garbage depth, inconsistent defense and goaltending, questionable leadership. Same Old Same Old
Oiler management skates by. I hope in time people will understand that Holland really sucked.

At the same time it’s incredibly deflating to play in front of a goalie who can’t make a save. Overall this year the team has been good at suppressing chances against, it just doesn’t seem like it because very chance goes in.

Tonight is a really poor defensive effort so usually the goalie should get a pass but he’s just done nothing to earn any rope this year.
sure but even when they get good goaltending, and they have had a few good goaltending games this season the players are still making the same braindead plays in the Ozone, passing away grade A shots AND missing those passes, almost all the passes end up in skates, or deflect of defensemen. Theres no hockey IQ on offense and that isn't the goalies fault.

Another coach isn’t the answer. But I would appreciate if knob showed a pulse from time to time.

Pretty sure his resting heart rate is 5

This is also true. This offense as a whole is batshit stupid TBH. Passing is the only thing on their mind.

Teams like SJ have almost triple 10%+ shooters compared to us

Skinner: 4GA, two goalposts that had room, two goals called back. Thats like 8 pucks that got by him in two periods on less than 20 shots. This guy is so bad its surreal. stilll people post game will say 'not his fault'

This game should be over and somehow its not.

Wild working for everything. Oilers with two lucky goals.

Just being honest but I prefer the Wild in this game. Its hard to like what the Oilers are doing out there.

Agree, and I’m getting sick of the core having the same issues over and over and think they can outscore them instead of work to fix them, really don’t want to see another get out of jail free coach hiring.

You mean the two stoppable goals in that period? How about you stop simping for the mustachioed twat between the pipes?
have no issue with dumping Skinner. Our defense is horrible no matter what the shot sheet says. And I’m frankly sick of our fans excusing such poor commitment to win at both ends of the ice because the Corsi looks good or McDrai scoring enough to make up for it. What goalie can we get realistically that won’t have similar issues?
