[KeithIsActuallyBad]

f*** Ken Holland and his shitty cronies. Get fired already.

And to think some people thought this team would win the Cup this year.

So, what shall we complain about tonight, fellas?

*I'm turning my notifications off soon after I post this because I have to be up at 4am. So let loose*

Aint no shame in all of the shame

Very similar script to the Vancouver game. Establish a 2-0 lead and then piss it away by letting an inferior team score 5 straight.

 

[LevelingSolo]

What are the odds of a house cleaning in the off season?

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

Life as an Oilers fan

 

[Kaniac]

Didnt even watch the game, but I'm here to boo anyway!

BOOOOOOO, Fire Holland.

tough to protect a lead with the worst defence in the league.

 

[NedPlimpton]

It was bad.

 

[Moregoalspls]

That was some hell of a defensive collapse.

 

[ZJuice]

I am extra sad

 

[EchoesoftheEighties]

The annoying thing is seeing teams that were worse than us for years like NJ or LA have better seasons than us. We should be where they are by now

Tank for Bedard

We're currently in a playoff spot and only a point behind Calgary. This season is still salvageable if Holland could get off his ass and improve our defence. What are we paying Holland to do ?

 

[McMozesmadness]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

It was bad.

Where you were born?

 

[FlameChampion]

Not really a surprise. This team hasnt looked right since Day 1 of the season.

Cant put forth a consistent effort. Get outworked. Stop skating. No attention to team defense. Lose their composure. etc.

And Holland, Woodcroft and the team really havent done much about it. They all keep thinking that things are magically going to turn around for them.

Bedard-McDavid-Yakupov

 

[McTedi]

Losers lose rinse repeat

You know who Ken Holland is? Ken Holland is a trust fund kid. Ken Holland inherited this big fortune. Ken Holland stepped in as a general manager in 1997, the Red Wings already a Stanley Cup champion. Scotty Bowman built that thing up. Jim Devellano built that thing up. European scouting ahead of its time built that thing up. He was handed the GM chair, just like a rich person hands down their fortune to their son or their daughter, who didn’t work for it, didn’t earn it but is now going to benefit from it. And Ken Holland would go on to win a Stanley Cup in ’98, when money was no object. (Owner) Chris Illitch opened up the pocketbook and they won it in ’02. Salary Cup comes in the mid-2000s, they ride that to a Stanley Cup, but when it was time for Ken Holland to build on his own merits, you saw what happened to him. Trust fund kid. Everything was handed to him. When he had to work for it, the franchise crumbled.

Christmas eve, new years eve and first game of 23, a trio of dogshit

 

[Soundwave]

Puljujarvi-Yamamoto-Bouchard-Broberg-Holloway is such an aggressively mediocre pile of shit of picks better spent elsewhere.

These guys bring nothing but stupid mistakes and blown chances night after night.

This team can't draft for shit unless they're spoon-fed a 1st overall pick and even then they can sometimes even screw that up.

 

[CupofOil]

8 seasons with arguably the most talented player of all time and they have 4 total playoff series wins and are a mediocre .500 team in his 8th season. Just rotting away the primes of two of the best players in the NHL and a complete afterthought in the contender landscape and an irrelevant franchise quite frankly.

Only the Oilers could accomplish this feat with the absolute gift from the hockey gods that they got handed to them.

Edit: 3 playoff series wins. 4 series wins in 8 seasons is too much to ask.
