2-6-1 and at home, thanks for nothing. 35 goals for 14 games in, 8 times they’ve scored two or less. The goaltending sucks but you’d need a miracle worker right now to win consistently backstopping this team.

Islands in the stream.
Neither.

Throw Bouchard in the woodchipper.



I don't think you're getting uncomfortable enough with what he is saying.
I couldn't even imagine how bad this PP would look without even the threat of a booch bomb. Its possible that its just one of those years. Too early to say but indications guys are having trouble dialing hard for this season. Ultimately we saw an Oiles clubs tonight that expected to win the game on one period. Vegas spent the other two periods speed bagging us. Soon as Nuge took penalty I thought we would lose. Vegas close out games better than we do.

Our 4th line are 40 year old has beens. Why is Derek Ryan a regular in this team? 37 years old who gets tossed around. Imagine this team with an energetic 4th line that forechecks and hits and gets the team riled up. Instead we have a 37 and 40 year old skating around 3 steps behind the play and with how bad oir pk is now Ryan is not bringing anything there.
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

Maybe don't send down a couple players that might inject some fire and enthusiasm into your lineup instead of dragging out the same useless can't-score-and-never-will squad out there game after game after game.

SHAKE UP THE f***ING LINEUP and make some players accountable.

Team can't just count on getting a few pts here and there against the shittier half of the teams in the NHL and expect to still be contenders at the deadline. That cap space won't mean anything if they play like this and can't get some decent effort and determination going vs teams that are actually decent.
Derek Ryan. Looked like some grandpa that Vegas bullied twice on one shift lol. Just shoved him down like "GTFO of my way old man"

Time for the coach and manager to nut up and make a real change to the team to shake things up a bit. Skinner sucks, but that isn't changing. Goalies are voodoo anyhow.

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.

Yup, time for Knob to grow a pair and hold some players accountable. Maybe he pissed himself after Leon got pissy about the benching.
