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

[48g90a138pts]

Sharks, Ducks, Kings, Stars, Kings are the next 5 games. We could be dead last in the league by the end of the month.

Weren't we tied for first in the division at the beginning of November?

At some point you have to break the cycle, and keeping or building assets is the only way to give yourself as many chances as possible to do so.

The salary cap has a significant effect on keeping your assets though. Especially if you intend on addressing other aspects of your roster.

The job wasn't easy. Our team's payroll was a timebomb and the lack of depth in our farm system forecasted some tough trades and some questionable UFA signings regardless of who the GM was.

Regardless, if we miss this year, anybody in that office who wears a suit--even occasionally--gets shown the door. There's zero excuse for missing two years in a row after being a game away from the Conference Finals.

Ryan Strome 18 GP, 4 5v5 goals against
Ryan Spooner 2 GP, 4 5v5 goals against

"Even trade"

At least let the guy get some practice in with the team....he knows nothing about our terrible system.

 

[Joey Moss]

You're 1-6 in your last 7 games. You just came off a miserable season where you were expected to go far in the playoffs and did nothing. You have a hall of fame, well respected coach on the market who is reportedly interested in coaching again this season. There is no reason McLellan should be coaching this team on Tuesday even if it's not Quenneville.

Chiarelli is an abject incompetent
Fire him tonight
Nurse , Lucic, RNH, Talbot are all loathsome garbage, fllush out tomorrow
Loathsome garbage

The fact that this post is closer to reality than ever before is scary.

So far, Chia's best move this summer was giving a PTO to Chiasson -- Captain Obvious.

How accurate is BLH? I don't remember him calling much in the past.

Please be accurate, please be accurate.. PLEASE GOD

 

[McAsuno]

How accurate is BLH? I don't remember him calling much in the past.

He was actually right about the Oilers getting calls on Strome.
I just want Todd McStubborn gone

 

[OfCorsiDid]

oo someone posted b4 me

Not exactly a reliable source there bud.

Tell me when Friedman or Rishaug says something.

 

[KarmaPolice]

I'd be shocked as well. There's just absolutely NO chance you keep a coach after tonight. Chia would be exposed as the total fool that he is if he were to keep him around. There's just no way around it at this point.

If Todd isn't fired, then Chia becomes the laughing stock by association. He has to prevent that at all costs and will fire Todd. Or he's too stupid/timid to do it.

 

[CycloneSweep]

so instead of losing 6-3, we lose 4-3...a loss is a loss
why are you so obsessed with the trade?

Death of a thousand cuts.

 

[MettleMcOiler]

If people are going, Benning better be on his way out as well.

 

[McJadeddog]

Yeah, that guy doesn't have any sources

 

[Metamind]

 

[Whiston532]

What do you call one fired McLellan ?

A good start

 

[Mez]

His source is probably this board lul.

 

[edmoil3]

It’s funny. Even if Chia bites the bullet soon (I don’t believe he will) this season will be a lost anyways. The turnaround that has to happen on this roster is no easy task for anyone. I doubt SteveY would have an easy job with it. Lucic, Talbot, Kassian,, Caggulia, Spooner , Benning all need to GTFO but nobody would be willing to take 85 percent of those guys. So unless we retain salary on them we’re boned

Have you watched a lot of spooner? Give him a chance, don’t crap on him because he’s apart of the eberle trade tree. And you wonder why people don’t line up to play here.

How accurate is BLH? I don't remember him calling much in the past.

Not sure who that dude is, but I think it's a pretty safe bet.

 

[Del Preston]

I hate McLellan more than Eakins.

 

[Soundwave]

So far, Chia's best move in his 3 1/2 year tenure was giving a PTO to Chiasson -- Captain Obvious.

Fixed for accuracy.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

Just saw a comment on twitter calling this the beginning of the 2nd decade of darkness.


Oh my I couldn't handle that.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Oilers just being the Oilers hahaha

we could have McDavid, Matthews, Hall, Tavares and Stamkos and we'd still managed to suck
it's incredible and impressive...year in and year out

 

[McVirginOil]

Yzerman for GM!
Quennenville for Coach!

That’s the dream alright

 

[CycloneSweep]

Have you watched a lot of spooner? Give him a chance, don’t crap on him because he’s apart of the eberle trade tree. And you wonder why people don’t line up to play here.

I have seen a lot of Spooner. We are seeing average every game Spooner.

 

[La Bamba]

I hate McLellan more than Eakins.

Same. At least Eakins caused us to get McDavid
