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

[Oilers in NS]

Well, the Browns were gonna interview Rice. Lets one up them and hire these 2.

 

[KarmaPolice]

Does Katz have any other hockey buddies who aren't idiots? I sure hope so.

I'm hoping Katz and Yzerman are tight and go WAYYY back at this point. What a dream come true that would be for me: my favorite player of all time being the GM to save this team from the ashes. Let it be!

1-6 in the last 7. Brutal.

Kevin: We're letting you go Peter. You did your best but the moves you made have put us in too big a hole....
Peter: ......ok......welll....a) you agreed with every one of those moves.....and some of them were your idea......b) you're talking to a coat rack....

I was about to say something similar.

Dude legit probably pulled everything out of his ***.

I missed Mclellan’s post game tonight but I caught it last night and he was pulling stuff out of his ass in that one too. He’s making all kinds of excuses now and starting to throw players under the bus.

 

[YakDavid]

He is blaming the players too much. Its his job to see there was a change and make a timeout or pull the goalie. He is way too stubborn and doesn't know how to do in game changes

It's really time for him to go. Like honestly. From what I know about him away from the game, he seems like a nice enough guy. Truly hope he has a happy and fulfilling life, make no doubts about that. But it's time for a new coach.

I dont think they will fire Todd tomorrow. I think they'll want to have a slam-dunk replacement like coach Q secured before they announce it. Firing Tood just to promote GG is not a good look.

They already did that in April (wait to see if an upgrade became available). He had 20 games to get things on track and prove last year was a fluke.

It is beyond stupid at this point.

They can always fire Todd and just have Gulutzan as the interim guy. Better than letting Todd keep it up.

Yeah I dont agree with it. Just what I think will happen. I would have preferred if he was fired tonight.

Then it should be quick negotiations. I see coach Q wanting to take on a challenge and the McDavid factor being an incentive

 

[I am the Liquor]

Can't wait until Mclellan is replaced by Gulutzan and Chiarelli makes a panic move and trades away RNH for a scrub to save cap.

Nuge is a scrub, so its a lateral move.

I wonder what Quennevilles lines would look like using the guys we have here and in the AHL

 

[space321]

Rumors were they were looking at Eriksson Ek or Svechnikov.

Keith Gretzky wasn't here yet. They were still relying on the old scouts for the most part.

Even though Ek and Svechnikov are the worst of the bunch from the players available at 16th overall, they're both still miles better than anyone in our bottom 6, and infinitely better than Reinhart. Ek is like a cheaper Strome, but still young enough that you can still hope he figures out the scoring.

Where's Reinhart playing nowadays lmao

 

[Jumptheshark]

things seem more calm here then after the flames game

 

[Del Preston]

No one in the local media has even hinted at a coaching change, correct? Was there any heat on McLellan for how badly he botched last night's game?

I haven't really paid attention to what he did in Chicago but I feel like Benning wouldn't be in the lineup. I think he would be an improvement in special teams.

Think of all the broken laptops and cell phones after the Calgary game. Probably accounts for that.

 

[Da McBomb]

As much as I want Todd fired.. I want Chiarelli gone much more.

I think people are just gettting beaten down and apathetic. Everybody wants changes at this point, be it coach alone or coach and gm. Something's gotta give.

You can't let your team go out there and continue to piss important points away.

Horcoff is already working for the Wings.

The media seems weirdly on side with Todd.
