Oilers now 13-12-1: THE THREAD THAT'S FUN FOR EVERYONE

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

It could be like 7-0, Skinner's playing well.

 

[Leafs87]

They’re the favourites no?

 

[Three On Zero]

Wow Edmonton is really falling apart. I thought they’d break out of it and make the playoffs but I’m not so sure anymore. There’s no push back here.

McDavid is the only player that can tilt the ice and dictate the play in the offensive end. Without him the team isn’t nearly the same

It could be like 7-0, Skinner's playing well.

Skinner and Campbell have both done well, they are far from the problem this season

 

[BallardEra]

Not sure why the Oilers even have that guy as a coach.

They'll never win with him behind the bench.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Holy shit they’re so bad

Bleed so many high danger chances against. Bad line changes, turnovers, guys getting beat

McDavid get out while you can. You simply can’t and won’t win with the team constructed

 

[JianYang]

They'll make it assuming mcdavid doesn't miss considerable time.

 

[Muffin]

Lol imagine paying good money to watch two trash teams play in a football stadium on Sunday.

 

[Skate2Stick]

I haven’t seen them play this bad since the decade of darkness.

 

[pomx]

Time for the oilers do what they do best - tank and get the 1st OA pick

 

[Eternal Leaf]

Even if they turn it around later in the season, they're not a contender.

This is a disaster.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Just painful to watch even from a Canucks fan...

They need to fire Woodcroft.

 

[GreeningOil]

This Oilers team is pathetic. I’m at the game and I’m on HF boards. Total loser team right now

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Oilers look lost. Its so easy to enter their zone. Scoring chances aplenty. Goaltenders are inconsistent.

How can anyone think this team is a contender. Too many terrible contracts.

 

[Artemi Panarin]

I haven’t seen them play this bad since the decade of darkness.

The lottery dynasty has returned.

 

[CherryToke]

They’re the favourites no?

For Celebrini?

 

[Chips]

The oilers fan comeback tour will be vicious when their team inevitably goes on a super hot streak in the 2nd half lol



I’m really curious how long of a leash Woodcroft. I wonder if it’s really as simple as the new defensive system, or if Woodcroft lost the room for other reasons.


It’s not a crazy idea zone defense. Most teams are doing it and seem to think it’s best for todays style game; and while I don’t disagree their personnel might be better with man to man, it really shouldn’t be this drastic of a change in quality of their defense performance.

The Pacific division is by far the weakest in the league. The Oilers will make the playoffs but get turfed early.

Unsubstantiated claims on HFOil were saying that the locker room is a complete mess right now. But take that with a grain of salt as the source was never named

 

[OVO16]

This the team the Canadian media was glazing before the season as Cup Favorites?

 

[Bankerguy]

Oilers have had three 1ST overall picks.... AND a Draisaitle. cmon... losing culture there.
time to blow it up

The entire West is meh.

Pretty much only Vegas, Colorado and Dallas look good.

 

[olafsson]

Cup favourites my ass.

 

[Jozay]

They'll turn it around. Just gotta see how deep they dig this hole.

I really never understood why people go to these. Regardless if it was good teams or not.

The novelty of it I guess.
