Post-Game Talk: Is There a Coach Tinder? If so, Swipe Right! Oilers lose 6-3

[Oilers in NS]

Same here. Eakins didn't screw up a roster with a mature McDavid and Draisaitl on it.

Not absolving Chia of blame btw. I feel like I have to keep saying that every time I say anything bad about Mclellan because I know there's a few "It's not Mclellan's fault" posters still left out there.

Well after watching the game in Calgary , the "It's not McLellans Fault" people better man up. He was out coached by a new coach in Calgary. Not the wisest decision to have Lucic out their with Drai and McDavid when you are down a few. The worst thing is, Lucic is trying hard but the puck is still a grenade on his stick

Chairelli even got his daughter a job in the organization.

I'd post her LinkedIn but I'm not sure if against the rules.

Got his son a job too but he's scoring goals so I don't mind.

 

[McDrailers]

This is so true . TMac needs to go . He like a monkey who will keep trying to fit the square peg into the round hole . He just doesn't adapted to the game . He is one game plan fits all coach . The problem even if we bring in a new coach how much can he do ? There a lot of dead weight on this team and that is Chia doing . How do we move Lucic , Sekera and to a lessor extent Russell . Right now we have 6 D men that handles the puck like it a bomb . All the D need to go outside of Larsson and Klefbom and they need to be groomed as a defensive pair . No PP time . Nurse may be worth keeping . I like to see something like this next year

Gardiner Bouchard
Klefbom Larsson
Nurse/Jones Bear

Top pairing can put up points . 2nd pair can shut down other teams . 3 pair young guys getting shelter minutes only if they are excelling in the AHL

Lots need to change and we need a smart GM to make it happen it can not be left to just a coaching change

Couldn’t agree more. Hope all is well friend

 

[McAsuno]

Oh brutal. Stauffer called us that a couple years ago too.

The blowhard tried to justify himself with the fickle crap when fans were ripping him apart. As if blowhard Jones didn't cause enough damage to the Eskimos. Him and Jim Matheson are two guys who should retire.

 

[Oscar Acosta]

Maybe Bobby Orr intervenes and tells Nicholson to fire everyone or they trade his client at season’s end.

Even then would Katz favour McDavid over Kevin Lowe?

I’m guessing no.

Probably not, sadly.

 

[McAsuno]

I’m guessing no.

Can't wait until Katz's kid is somehow employed in the organization too.

 

[Oilers in NS]

I'd jump for joy if we got Sutter. Team might actually learn how to play D and break out of the zone.

 

[McDrailers]

Even then would Katz favour McDavid over Kevin Lowe?

I’m guessing no.

How many cups McDavid got? He certainly doesn’t know as much about winning as KLowe.

 

[I am the Liquor]

Idk man.. a GM that doesn't trade a superstar winger in Hall for Adam Larsson, picks for Griffin flipping Reinhart, Eberle for Strome just to get money to sign a bottom pairing dman in Russell, etc.

Then a coach who fails to adjust according to the game while yapping all the time about accountability which only applies to players he chooses upon.

That sounds an awful lot like a gm who trades the best dman in the history of the org for spare parts or sends our top dman to the AHL, or trades for a dman with chronic ankle problems, or loses our best player over 100k, I can go on and on and on. There is more. And that is all from the smartest one of the two.

Disclosure - I've not read GDT or any of this PG one.

Just thought I'd throw this in as it's most likely being discussed -
I feel a presser announcing a coaching change is tomorrow or after the next loss, if it's not sandwiched between a few wins.

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

So who do we play next...

*checks schedule*

1st place Sharks.

We keep telling ourselves that haha

 

[Echodek]

If we don't score first we lose the game. If we score first, we blow the lead and lose the game. What happens if we don't score any goals? Oh yeah, we lose the game.

My god, we aren't winning another game this year.

he is

 

[McJadeddog]

I’m guessing no.

Katz will sell the team before he fires Lowe. He love him long time.

Let's hope Katz does exactly that, because until the OBC is cleaned out, nothing will ever change

just waiting to attack

Stauffer hasn't made his post-game tweet yet.

 

[Soundwave]

The Oilers were never gonna use that 16 or 33 pick ... once Chia got a hard on for being a genius that could bring Dougie Hamilton here he got set into a one track mind of those picks having to go for a d-man. Griffin Reinhart is a d-man. Done deal.

The funny thing is even if they did the whole "lets just draft for need here" type pick, the ranked d-man at that spot was Chabot, lol. They could have even done that and come out looking golden but nooooooooope.

It has to be tomorrow. It truly has to be.

McLellan sounded completely shell-shocked in the presser. His mind just scattering all over the place. It betrays that even he knows he should be done.

Watch us win against the Sharks and Mclellan is given more rope

Silver lining:

If Todd is still coaching after that loss, cab fare is cheap to his house.

I legit spit out my drink reading this...hahaha
