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

[mighty Stanley Duck]

Well yea, but each loss just means they have to play that much hotter the rest of the way in order to qualify for the playoffs. Time is ticking.

West IMO is weaker this year, i really doubt wild card teams will win 46 games (situation last year).
Therefore i think Oilers are still in good position to catch PO.

 

[Fire Sweeney]

Holland should be fired today... It probably won't happen but that should be the first thing Oilers do to try to fix this chaos

If they don't fire the moron who hired scumbag Holland it's likely that Bergevin, Hextall or Chuck Fletcher are hired to continue his work.

 

[Edgelord]

no, Connor's interview when the Oilers won the lottery was really bad

 

[nbwingsfan]

How will we know when he isn't injured?

How will we know when he isn't injured?

When he doesn’t look like he’s skating at half his regular speed and doesn’t drop from a 150pt player to a 70pt guy overnight!?

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Rock bottom is when 97 and 29 tell them they won't re-up

And imagine all the broken hearts and tears in Edmonton. It will be the saddest day there since Gretzky left for LA.

 

[Czechboy]

Not even close.. we've been much worse than this. This is 12 shitty games. We had 10 shitty years! Those rosters did not have NHL players. This one has at least a dozen.

The only move is to fire Holland to day. Won't fix the team but any other firing is stupid. Send a message that they understand the guy at the top built a shit D.

 

[Coffey]

Rock bottom is when 97 and 29 tell them they won't re-up

Anyone who thinks they are re-signing here are delusional.
You would think the majority already knows this.

 

[Ryan120420]

Absolutely not!

Rock bottom is when the Sharks eventually pass the Oilers in points. Then it's rock bottom.

 

[Heldig]

Rock bottom is when 97 and 29 tell them they won't re-up

If this continues trade demands come before their contracts are up.

 

[Muffin]

Can't tell if this is sarcasm or not

Not saying is likely but St Louis did it from last place.

 

[fsanford]

The day they signed Nurse for 9.25 million per year was a pretty low point,

 

[dirtydanglez]

no. rock bottom is how they got mcdavid in the 1st place.

this is just bad goaltending due to poor choices from management.

 

[BB88]

I've seen way worse Oilers teams in my life.

To expectations?

”Top contender” at the bottom of the standings

 

[Muffin]

Campbell will find his game in the AHL and come back to save them, oh wait...

 

[Zerotonine]

Oilers have the worst D in the league. When Nurse-Cici are your top pairing and getting paid a combined 13M you are doomed.

Bouchard is also a terrible dman defensively who will command a high salary when his bridge is up due to offensive production on PP. he is poised to overtake Nurse as worst contract.

With the style of play, Oilers need a superstar goalie to hold the fort. They have completely destroyed Campbell’s NHl future. No GM will trade for him.

Chaos

The oilers destroyed Campbell's future? Lol pretty sure Campbell had been doing that his hole professional career. Take a look at his first game down in Bakersfield

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Maybe they're playing for another #1 draft pick?

 

[Panteras]

No, rock bottom will be when they fire Holland only to replace him with Ron Hextall

 

[Svechhammer]

Wait are you trying to tell me that completely avoiding any realistic attempt to build a competent defensive scheme with actual defensive players is finally rearing its ugly head after about 5 years of everyone predicting it would happen?

Why I never

 

[petterdaddy]

No, rock bottom will be when they fire Holland only to replace him with Ron Hextall

Nah, Jim Benning.

Actually I take it back, I don’t think I can wish that on even Oilers fans

 

[Rodgerwilco]

I've seen way worse Oilers teams in my life.

I think the problem is that those bad Oilers teams didn't have players of McDavid and Draisaitl's caliber.

 

[Panteras]

Nah, Jim Benning.

Actually I take it back, I don’t think I can wish that on even Oilers fans

Benning’s not available, he’s already doing wonders in Toronto

 

[Jay26]

Lost all all this discussion about the Oilers struggles is Dylan Holloway. He was looking like a great prospect - what's going on with him? The Oilers need to get this kid going.

 

[Coffey]

I think the problem is that those bad Oilers teams didn't have players of McDavid and Draisaitl's caliber.

And those teams never had a start this bad.

 

[Chuck Norris Trophy]

It's all because they gave away Puljujärvi.

 

[KnockHobbler]

Edmonton’s wasted more talent than any other team over the last few decades imo
