Oh really? outside of 4-5 players everyone else is completely expendable if thats not a rebuild what is?

Rebuild is drafting low for a few years and picking up elite talent.

We have done that, now you just need to surround it with the right, like 2 years ago.

It's going to be tough to win when the opposition is getting bounces and you're not. Add to that Cali reffing, goalies not making the saves when you need them and weak defense...no surprise this game ended up 7-2. Lucic scored though so hopefully that helps him relax and start producing again.

If the Oilers weren't playing 80% of the game in their own zone then maybe the opposition wouldn't get as many bounces.
This team plays the game with a victim mentality....they are just waiting for something bad to happen to them. That is a recipe for losing.

Lucic looked great against Anaheim, and was good today, and the stats showed it. It would be huge for the Oilers if he goes on a tear.

No doubt. Tonight was a lot of crappy bounces as well, but it’s kinda hard to come in night in and night out knowing full well if you make one mistake as a goaltender the team can’t cover you. Our roster is awful. You could put Price, Gibson, Holtby, prime Patrick Roy or 2006 Roloson in our net. It’s not changing much

We are 20-20-3 with goalies having a really rough go in the last 10.

What's more frustrating than the losses is the inaction. Daryl, get off your duff and fire someone... Right now.

I have no confidence in Daryl Katz and his decision making. Knowing him, he has that big red headed clown who we see every fricking draft on stage waiting in the wings to take over this team. That's how bent of an owner he really is.

I have to ask. Say we get 4 of those games solid goaltending. Do you believe we’re a playoff team.

Maybe I’m in the minority’s here, but I’d rather suck again then stumble into the playoffs (which would be a miracle). Only to get demolished in the first round when a team shuts down the only two guys on this team that drive offence

Poor Lucic. Looked like he was almost gonna cry at the end of the post game interview.
Must suck. He has been bad and had a crazy goalless streak, probably wanted to be happy to finally get one but your team gets blown out and can't really enjoy it.
