We need to lose Haula and Dzingel. They are a detriment to the team.
Well we'd love to have either in Edmonton... desperately missing good 3rd liners. Anyways, good game folks. That was fun to watch.

Yeah, it sucks for us and Dzingel. I still like him as a player, but he hasn't been able to earn Brindy's trust, so maybe it won't be a fit. Hard to say if now or the off season would be the best time to move on in that case.Haula I thought was fine tonight. TVR is bad, but only in the sense that he’s a bottom pairing defenseman playing on the top pair. It’s not his fault he isn’t Dougie Hamilton. Dzingle is being misused but is also playing like garbage so losing him is probably best for both sides.
TVR, Edmundson, Dzingel, and Haula are all guys playing at replacement level right now, and is probably the single biggest weakness of the team right now. Anything we can do at the deadline to either move them for parts or minimize their minutes by moving them down the lineup would be beneficial in the long term.
make the Oilers hear the bells in the sky like Emily Watson's deaf character at the end of Breaking The Waves (yeah, got 'em there hell yeah)
This seasons team has an offensive mindset of trying for three way pretty passing plays instead of just shooting. Leads to lots of almost great plays, very occasional great plays, and plenty of frustration.
It’s surprising for a team with a coach who preaches straight forward and straight line hockey, and it’s very anti what we did last year.
Its fun to watch though, and we’ve never really had it so I’m not always against it.
We did get a point we didn’t used to get.
I'm starting to lean toward getting a forward at the deadline would be the better move than a defenseman. I'd been thinking a goalie like lehner would be great but I dont know if there would be enough time to adjust to the way the defense plays. If we're going to be loosey goosey have to score 3+ to win, we're going to need more firepower

Rod isn't big on change as we all know. I don't see much happening before the off season in terms of addition/subtraction. Not that he's the only one with input. Still, it has to be frustrating to have 1 line producing. Is that on him or the players? Hard to say. There are arguments for both.
Oilers fans are currently up in arms about how much they won despite being screwed by the refs tonight

it is the official passtime of the oiler board to blame the refs for JFK's assassination, kidnapping the Lindberg Baby, Global warming, Donald Trump Birth, killing of the dinosaurs and everything else under the sun that has gone wrong on the planet since big bang happened. There is a large group of oiler fans the truly believe the refs are hiding behind the grassy hill , holding daily coven meetings to cause great harm on the oilers
