I get paid $5 million to sabotage my own team.
I am worried that he will do jack all. These rumors of him "trying" are overstating things. He's not serious

Islands in the stream.
Choosing Yamamoto over Hyman is a decision that boggles the mind.
You can imagine what I was thinking on that one. It was f***, f***, f***...


What a pathetic performance by the oil. Pretty much gifted puck luck in first period and stake out 4-1 lead as nearly everything is going in. Then they do nothing the rest of the game and watch the RAngers come back. Fortunate to even get a point in this one. SOG 11-1 at one point in 3rd period with game on the line.

Once again so many things wrong with the team in this game, special teams actually managed to -1 on the night. They just don’t have the ability in any way shape or form to lock a game down. That’s on the d and the forwards.

Only redeeming part is how good Campbell was, absoloutely stole a point for the team.

I have zero faith in Holland successfully making a trade that actually moves the needle and gives this team a chance to win the cup. As-constructed they have no chance.
I love this team but I truly think they are a couple pieces away to really contend

Karlsson would be a start. But we need another decently rw

Need Kane to heal up. He’s been a ghost (although he came back super early so not surprised). That’s a terrible injury to come back from

La moves another point ahead of us

This immature team doesn't have it honestly. Too inconsistent

We need Jim Matheson vs Draisaitl redux, only this time I will side with JM. Draisaitl has been a f***ing joke this year, he's either playing injured or completely does not give a f*** anymore. It's pathetic seeing him coast around the ice and force the same f***ing risky plays every game.

Keep giving away points. f*** off Holland
Man, tonight was on EDM. They went up 4-1 and just stopped skating. They coasted all game after that even when the Rangers woke up and started skating. Never matched it. Plain and simple. But yes, Holland needs to get some defense because you need good defense come playoff time and this team gives up way too many chances.

I don't get the shootout choices. That slow down before the shot doesn't work. I know McDavid scored on it before but it requires a perfect shot.

Also I know Kane has been cold but he should be shooting before Ryan and Yamamoto
Well ahead of Leon “the bomb” Draisaitl

Drai isn’t a finesse player like that. He’s a poor shootout choice

That slapper almost has a sense of “stop putting me in the shootout” vibe lol

Can we bring Ebs back? At least we’d have someone who can score in the shootout

Why 11-6 tonight? Is there no way we can get enough players dressed within cap? We send players down because kailer Yamanothing is back? WTF.

Yeah, but he scored 20 goals last year! Not like he's one of the most useless players this season, but people will only choose to harp on Puljujarvi.
Both players can leave already.
