I'd like to know if Eakins is unwilling or unable to bench Hall, Eberle & Schultz.

Sounds like Hall's crying. Sounds like everyone is so depressed right now...

The losing culture has sucked the joy out of everybody. Until ****ing management is cleaned out, the venomous losing culture will always remain. This team isn't going anywhere, until Lowe and his buddies are gone.

Ched callers pretty good tonight. Usually they suck. Even today the occasional stupid comment "Calgary doesnt have a single proven NHL player".

Sigh then the idiots on the radio forget all the correct points the caller made and destroy him on his one stupid point.

I have a new found respect for the Flames. There building atmosphere is just great. The Players and Fans going into the game wanting to play a good hard-working game, while on the other hand the Oilers building atmosphere is playing not to lose.

Asked one of the hawks stars yesterday, when i bumped into the mob of them downtown, what he thought was wrong with the oilers. I wont say it because he was candid and i dont think i should repeat it but Eakins needs to be gone. Krueger wasnt the guy either. Rookie, trash can coaches arent the answer.

Didnt watch the game. As many have said the only people going to the games are ones accepting charity tickets.
People will keep grabbing the tickets from the trash can because...i have no clue. Its not like anyone will think highly of them when someone says they are going to the game. Everyone will know they are free tickets...or dumb.
How many BILLIONS have been left on the table by free agents to stay away from edmonton?

My thoughts are with my brother oiler fans. Its been a rediculously pathetic existence for our hockey fanchise ever since tambi came on board. Still dont understand firing Renney. Still dont understand hiring krueger, rookie coach to head coach youngest team. Still dont understand that mistake followed by the same. Just horrific. Not much else to say. well there is lots to say...but nothing nice.

I saw the way Hartley communicated to the team, and you can tell they respond to it. I never see that from Eakins. All Eakins does is stand there looking like Mona Lisa. Just seeing them tie that game added salts to our wound. :laugh:

Why wouldn't you repeat what they said? You don't have to say who said it.

Love the genius that just called into CHED defending the status quo. His solution was to bring in an associate coach who could help Eakins learn on the job. He figured the guy should be older and more experienced.:help:

Dubnyk 40/43 against San Jose tonight. Edmonton could use a guy like him. #HereComeTheOilers

This is such trash. I watched Dubynk play in the AHL last year he was hot garbage.

Much like Bryz was good in Phoneix so too was Smith. If you take Smith/Dubynk off the coyotes their still awful.

Lets not forget the Dubynk who was ducking and dodging pucks from the blueline.

System /=/ skill

https://vine.co/v/O1WIUiqjjeB Team getting booed, while heading back to the dressing room

What an awful ****ing rink design that is. They can get booed off the ice, but booed all the way into the dressing room too? Who was the boob that thought this up in the first place? I'm mad as anyone that this team sucks, but my god, there is absolutely no place for these guys to keep a single shred of dignity.

LOL and naturally rob and reed agreed. I'm thinking about calling in to troll and state the company line

"people gotta calm down this is a process...we've got great management and no one has won as much as kevin lowe"

maybe you're listening to an archive of the end of last season? (just kidding).

Seriously though, I wonder if the reason Eakins isn't fired yet is because we don't have a new guy lined up, and we're not comfortable with Ramsay. I always figured that one of the major benefits of Ramsay was that he could be a great interim coach if we needed it, and it's looking like we do.

Reporter: "What do you think of the Oilers being boo'ed out of there own arena?"

Jonathan Toews: "I don't think we really care about the Oilers."

Neither do we Toews, neither do we. :biglaugh:
