Pre-Game Talk: Late Game and Management Still Sucks

[Mr Kot]

Excited to see the new guys, but GM, Pres, Katz, and all his buddies still suck.

Cant wait for Skinner to continue to be scratched for useless janmark brown arvidsson pod hyman

Hey oilers. Instead of losing, try winning two straight for a change

The last thing I say to Knob when he refuses to start you

Oilers want more scoring on the wings and then don’t play the guy who scores on the wings.

Maybe they'll stop now that they aren't trying to offload him, lol.

Knoblauch pushed all the right buttons last year and this year he seems to have wandered into the coaching graveyard.

Dallas will likely punk us and assert themselves. Hopefully not.

 

[Bring Back Bucky]

Is there cap space if Kane came back early ?

Nah. They're a bit over. But they didn't use anywhere near all of their LTIR cap space.

2 players with #96 is making their debuts tonight........

 

[CycloneSweep]

We are going to get absolutely obliterated today.

So that means it’ll actually be a 4-1 Oilers win

not sure if the lineup has been confirmed but you have to think J Skinner gets back in some capacity soon. I do wonder if the last couple of scratches were to convince him to waive his no move. Lots of guys doing very little out there that could use a night in the press box.

 

[tardigrade81]

We got this

Maybe

Knoblauch needs to use the players he has. Been very frustrated with double standards for different players. Focus is to win a cup as a team, about time coaching starts trying to do that.

They need wingers who can score, and Skinner can do that. They need players who are defensively sound- and Skinner has better defence metrics than any player in the bottom 6 (outside Henrique). It’s just personal at this point

Reason given is that JSkinner is a east west player where Knob prefers a north south player ala MaxJones.

Not sure what all that means.

nope

 

[snipes]

Is Frederic even going to play this year? Is he even skating right now?

 

[McHelpus]

I hope Ekholm is alright.

 

[LTIR]

Is Frederic even going to play this year? Is he even skating right now?

Not for another couple weeks but he should play the last few games.

 

[McHelpus]

Is Frederic even going to play this year? Is he even skating right now?

He is 2-3 weeks away.
