Post-Game Talk: Oilers play like an expansion team and lose.

[Soundwave]

22nd in goals against (tied with Arizona)

Sometimes I wonder if Ken Holland would have any Stanley Cups if he didn't fluke out with Lidstrom.

I mean he very obviously would not, lol.

 

[Cloned]

Listen to this 7 minutes and 29 seconds of utter bullshit and tell me Trotz shouldn’t be airlifted in here right f***ing now.

Woodcrap is handing out participation ribbons post game.

Don’t take this as a defense of Woody, just an observation.

Woody was here when TMac got fired. He knows exactly how TMac lost the room, and it probably involved pushing and/or criticizing the players. He doesn’t want that to happen to himself, so he’s overcompensating in the other direction.

Unfortunately, these players don’t do well just freelancing without criticism.

What we have here is a giant clusterf***.

Woody is being forced to play certain guys. Other than that, his choices annoy me too.

Don’t, he’s a p***y that will never question his masters.

 

[Soundwave]

How are these kinds of defensive mistakes "uncharacteristic" when you've literally had two other similar defensive meltdowns in the past 5 games? lol. Like c'mon Woody, cut the bullshit. Rip the d-corps a new one, they deserve it, and if they can't handle that well then they can't handle NHL opponents period.

 

[Kaptah]

Bouchard should be sent down.

 

[Traveled]

It's rare for him. Hopefully it's a sign of some moves. Or how about some effort. Yeah that would be sweet.....

We need more than a few brave fans to stop going. We need to organize an actual boycott.

Could very well be. This is why I like Trotz, he seems to have a nice balance for the carrot and the stick. But getting Trotz, that’s a pipe dream.

Clusterf*** indeed.

 

[Soundwave]

Bouchard should be sent down.

Puljujarvi
Holloway
Yamamoto
Broberg

As well.

What a miserable waste of 5 1st round picks.

At least Bouchard will have a niche in the NHL as a PPQB or Justin Schultz type player, can't even say the same for the rest of this group.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Bouchard should be sent down.

You’d lose him for nothing on waivers.

 

[DaGap]

Don't worry guys the season doesn't start after july 1st

 

[Duder54]

I've said it a thousand times before: this team is going nowhere until Holland finds a way to improve the defence.

It's insane to me that it feels like it's been this way every year since 15 years or so now.

 

[SwedishFire]

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.

They should trade of almost all for upgrade. Keep one D and one forward, and dangle the rest in trades.

I mean a bunch of those players pretty much have no value now (Puljujarvi and Yamamoto). Bouchard, Broberg, Holloway you could trade but really you could've gotten a much better haul for all of them if you just moved them straight away.

Everybody wonders when he’ll actually make a f***ing move and trade for a dman to help this team. It’s like the highest paid GM in the league is just continuing to wait for the ship to sink further down instead of immediately fixing it.

I was at the game live, and the D looks as shittier than they do on TV. I try to give players like Broberg the benefit of the doubt, but he does nothing. Whiffing on a 3 on 2 and somehow dishing the puck right to a kraken player in the oilers own end made me wanna facepalm. How is he gonna be as good as Chychrun like what certain oiler organization workers think? There’s nothing about his game that speaks “Chychrun level” at all. Even my girlfriend isn’t quite knowledgeable about hockey yet, and yet she even said when Broberg was noticeable on ice tonight, it was when he looked terrible.

Fix the f***ing D already. Do your f***ing job, Holland.

 

[Leonardlizard]

Fluff, lies, platitudes, positive spin bullshit and participation ribbon musings.

Woodcrap can f*** all the way off.

I hate that I feel the exact same way. Woodcroft went from a coach that seemed in control and positive...calm and with a plan...to seeming like a f***ing clown drunk on his own analogies. Had the nerve to say tonight's failure was atypical... When at this point it is par for the poor course set by management and coaching staff... ultimately in control by a comic book villain of an owner.

 

[McAsuno]

when you have one of the management boot lickers saying you need to do your f***ing job, then do your actual f***ing job.

Katz is panicking so they'll trade Bourgault and JP for Edmundson or some shit

Katz is probably looking for a new escort to cheat on. Our W/L record is absolute dog shit under him ever since he became owner.

Also f*** Bob Nicholson, stupid inbred.

Oh noez not sub-0.5 ppg AHL forward Bourgault and 1st round superstar Jesse Puljujarvi gone.

 

[Cloned]

There's one year age difference between Chychrun and Bouchard. Armstrong wants to stockpile picks and build through the draft. He doesn't want a project defenseman. Broberg better fits the age group that Armstrong is at the front end of rebuilding Arizona. Deep suckage to open a new arena with a solid young core ready to roll.

Bouchard++ for Parayko my man!

Need bigger veteran defenseman who can clear paint, block out and cycle break at the heart of legitimate Cup contenders.

Nurse - Parayko
Chychrun - Ceci
Kulak - Barrie

The only reason they’re looking to trade Chychrun is because he asked for a trade - i.e. he won’t re-sign there at the end of his current contract.

Bouchard shouldn’t have that issue.

Parayko actually plays pretty soft for a big defender. He’s Nurse on a better contract.

He’s doing whatever it takes to beat Aquaman as the worst owner in the NHL.

 

[Soundwave]

Hey Katz is working hard.

Finding the next "actress" to come onto his payroll to blow him without it leaking to the press is becoming more and more challenging.

 

[Rengorlex]

Oh noez not sub-0.5 ppg AHL forward Bourgault and 1st round superstar Jesse Puljujarvi gone.

Edmundson doesn't do shit for the team either. The team has prospects and draft picks as assets and needs to use them to get a real impact player such as Chychrun.
