  • If you are having issues logging in, we have found opening the log in page in a new tab/window rather than using the pop out should resolve these issues. We are working to get this resolved and thank you for patience.
  • Due to the increased volume of league transactions, the Trade Rumors and Free Agent Talk section is temporarily restricted to where threads may only be started by moderators and sponsors. We anticipate that this restriction will be lifted some time after the first round of the draft.
Do I think Babcock is a douchebag? Yes but he does have alot of experience and I do like that Oilers are getting a coach with experience. To be honest I don't really care much about the coach what is really important and why the Oilers have not won a stanley cup is because of the poor roster decisions. Trading away all are draft picks, signing guys for too much money and too much term, doing impulsive signings/trades like Campbell and Jarry. Not keeping young talent trending up like Broberg and Holloway. Unless Oilers find a way to make some big upgrades to the roster before next season the team is not going anywhere.
 
Well I will say I wanted a hard ass coach.. but I was thinking of the Torts brand of coach... not a full-on a-hole like Babcock but hey I guess if that's what the Oilers want then that's what they get.

Once again... Cup Or Bust but hopefully it's not a bust yet again this year.
