More reasons why Philp being sent down just made no f***ing sense. Big kid young that can skate and was able to hold his own gets sent down. Oilers rewarding in the worst ways per usual. God forbid they play their young talent over the old f***s on this team.
Me and my friends joke but we say things like “careful, don’t play too well, the oilers might send you down after a solid effort like that”

philp looked great. f***ing caggiula was at least hitting people.

Our collective management team is utterly incompetent. We are the New York jets of the nhl. That’s not a good thing….

Islands in the stream.
They really blow chunks at home this year. Maybe the jokes about the wives being a distraction is real?
Couldn't possibly be.

Serious question. Do we have a shooting coach to teach our guys how to change angles on our shots and not get them blocked every time. Why are we so shy at shooting from any distance? It's like the team knows it's ass at shooting so they just decide to not do it. Every one of our wrist shots are telegraphed and not deceptive in any way. For how skilled we should be, it feels like we're the worst shooting-with-skill team in the league

Kulak has 3 goals. That's more than majority of our f***ing players right now. Literally embarrassing.
Hey guys, I just saw Kulak put his stick and tape right on ice and got a tipped goal as a reward. Why don't we try that?

Naaaah, let's just keep dumping the puck in and then skate around doing nothing until we get back on the bench.
The Wild's goalie has the same or more goals than 10 of our players. I would laugh at that if I wasn't already crying.

I may just be dreaming but that loss feels extra “ouch”

I wonder if anything shakes out after that. I assume Katz is already ripping people’s asses

I’m sure I’m just daydreaming though

I didn't like Caggiula being called up, but at least I saw him trying to provide energy by hitting people here and there. We have a team that's allergic to hitting.

Derek Ryan, bless you sir. But you are done. Time to sail off my friend. No shame.

Team honestly needs to waive him. We have no guts. Hate them as much as we might, Vegas has no problem shuffling players and moving on. It’s actually refreshing

We continue to employ a “but the mystery box could be anything” strategy
Should have moved on from Ryan, Perry, and kept Holloway. Im still baffled we let him walk.

That'd be the cream of the cop. Hire a shit GM who in return hires his old boys club type shit buddy.

meh goalies are up and down

being one of the worst offenses in the league after 14 games was something I thought I'd never see

Ours are pretty much always down on GSAA.

We were the best team in the league from like Nov. 12 onwards last year and Skinner still didn't crack the top 30 for GSAA. This year he's a hillariously bad 65th place.

Pickard is sitting at 43rd overall.

Our goalies aren't up and down, they just are what they are ... back up goalies.

No, I think they are just playing not well. Calling it a cup hangover or whatever is an excuse. If Florida who has been in the last 2 finals can play with intensity and the Oilers can’t?
did you watch last year? the Oilers only decide to start playing when things get really bad...it's part of their MO
