Really don’t understand the team we’re building anymore. Last year, you could rely on our speed. If we can’t outsize teams we could atleast outskate them. This year, can’t outsize or outskate.

We let useful players go and retained aging ones that are on the way out. Management really Chiarelli’d the offseason.

We seem to finally be able to win faceoffs though lol

Nah, she's a good ways away from where I live.

Maui

Spent 2 weeks in Kihei over xmas last year. Kids loved it.
Doing the same next winter

 

[iCanada]

Totally, the lack of depth is very apparent

To be fair we're missing 3 top 6 forwards and a top 3 defenseman.

Every team in the league would feel the pain with those kind of injuries.

 

[CanadasTeam99]

f***.

I'm flying in on Friday. That's gonna be a rude awakening.

I Love Edmonton, but man I HATE the winter. I have never been into skiing or snowboarding. I like golfing. I guess at least it's just 3 bad months (DEC/JAN/FEB)

 

[VainGretzky]

His new name is Screwit Skinner because every 5th shot he says screw It

Cool. Condo? They have Papa Johns in Kihei now.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Man I'd hate to be Stuart Skinner in the locker room or plane flight after a game like this.

Its a home game though. Skinner will just fart a couple times and say its not his fault. That was a well played fart.

Or they reflect their shit tier management.

If only that 50/50 to combat cancer could be used to help the Oiler's management.

If we had retained Broberg, Mcleod, Holloway the aging curves would have had our roster on the upswing. Instead, we chose the downswing ageing curves.

The winter certainly played a factor into why I moved to Toronto. Not having to experience -20 on the regular is a big relief.

 

[Shaquille Oatmeal]

Alright, game on! Oilers win this one 6-4

The one stat that really really doesn’t matter.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

A goalie making a tough save when the defense breaks down?

Weird.

It’s not even surprising to me that basically everyone we let go is doing well elsewhere.

No only our defence breaks down.

I could have moved to BC. I stayed for 2 years. Harder for the wife to get work there. Came back. It is overrated. Gloomy. Rains a lot. People not from Vancouver go downtown, etc like once every 2 months. No time. Traffic is shit.

I regret not buying an investment property back in 2014. Could have tripled my $$ minimum lol

 

[CupofOil]

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

Fair but the fanbase has said this about every coach since ...Pat Quinn?

It’s very Oilery of us.

BC is depressing with how often its gloomy and rainy.

Id rather have snow and sun

Ya rented a condo on North end behind times market on the water.
Have you gone down to Makena Beach?
That was one of our favourites. My teenagers loved the waves there.

 

[CanadasTeam99]

2 goal deficit to Minny is like a 5 goal deficit. The way we play passive perimeter? An 8 goal deficit

They fought tonight. Streak could be broken

 

[Old Boys Club]

It’s not even surprising to me that basically everyone we let go is doing well elsewhere.

At this point it doesn't even bother me because I know those same players would never perform here. Something fundamentally wrong with the usage and deployment of players here

 

[Davo Ikinzom]

We need Kapanen.
