Why the hell was Shore in the lineup? That guys terrible


Thats won of your weeker takes
Shore has had 2 good games.. not sure what u are talking about..
Also, he played because Kostin isn't ready to return.

Blackhawks want a 2nd right now for Lafferty. (Which also means they can f*** off with that ask)
I would pay that if cap goes along with the 2nd.. he isn't a rental

Idk … Ryan has been pretty much done exactly whats been needed from him all year. I don’t think upgrading on him is a priority imo.
If we aren't upgrading on him or Yamamoto then there is no need to upgrade on anyone up front.

We should add depth

Team should be upgrading on KY and JP. Neither of them are top 6 forwards.

It would be interesting to know which players the Oilers want to move and which they are willing to move.

Who elses move could it be? Who built this team? When will this clown fan base realize Holland is a good GM?
I'm just saying that the team is doing their part and now Holland needs to do his part to give the team a boost, he gets paid a lot of money to do so. Lets take it down a notch.

I never said anything about Shore. What is your point?

At least he didn’t rifle it into the post like Puljujarvi did with his open net chance :biglaugh:
That was a pass deflection though. Not having a puck land right on your stick while you're in the crease behind the goalie. I mean the degree of difficulty on the Yama goal was zero. At least he could putt into a cage.

I was just having a bit of fun. Thought Pulju played real well.

The most important stat in there is wins
Ones below 500 the other isnt?
Ones got 4 wins this year against playoff teams
Wins aren't individual stat. Desharnis has an insane win loss record. Should he get the Norris?


No professional analyst us gonna say Campbell has been better than skinner. Why did skinner make allstar team and not Campbell with the w-l records?

I dislike both of our goalies as they have serious warts. However, if someone wants to say in good faith that Campbell has performed better this season than Skinner on an individual level, they have no credibility.

Good team win for the boys tonight.

Skinner has some pretty gaudy stats for a rookie goalie behind a leaky defensive team. If he had more run support he would have a more impressive W/L record. His bad games can be counted on one hand. "Serious warts" seems a bit harsh IMO

100% - for a rookie goalie he's doing great. My comment is in the context of what I want out of a starting goalie on a cup contending team, which is what he will need to be if Campbell's current performance continues.

And you overrate Campbell significantly more than we "overrate" Skinner.

Campbell's play this year has been wholly inadequate. Record be damned.
Its all about the record.

Skinner .917 tonight.

Campbell has done that like 4 times this year. He is literally in the running for worst goalie in the NHL. Only a couple below him and those guys have injuries and issues with GP.

Literally 50 goalies are outperforming him.

FIFTY - and he has benefitted from plenty of goal reviews this year

Skinner is climbing his way into the top 10 in the league. He’s an all star.
It’s all about the record.

I just realized that the Oilers have 3 more regulation wins than anybody else in the west and are tied with the Leafs for the 2nd most regulation wins in the league behind Boston, of course.

Combine that with only 1 regulation loss in 17 games and it seems kind of silly how much bitching there has been on this board the last few weeks, some from yours truly. Don't get me wrong, it has been far from smooth sailing since the break but maybe we should dial back the hysterics a bit.

Im starting to see some special potential in Broberg. He may never to be an elite offensive threat but his size, skating ability, long reach and above average puck skills could make him a our Klefbom 2.0. Maybe even more mobile than Klef tbh
