They aren’t. It’s just a mains joke said to the wrong audience apparently.

probably

I am out of it. I am drugged to high heaven on pain relievers and muscle relaxers because of an injury to my back and i have a 45 degree lean to the right and my hip swinging out to the left.

 

[Lay Z Boy GM]

The org deserves it for all the years of wasted McDavid and wasted talent. If another team wasted most of McDavids career like the org has then we would hate them too.

So true. I used to hate Columbus for wasting Rick Nash. FFS it’s a shame McDavid has never had an elite goalie behind him.

I don’t hate the Oilers but it’s shameful how they’ve squandered so much time. Every year with McDrai is a chance at the Cup, just need a good and balanced team around them. We’ve had like 10 chances to put it together. McDrai do their jobs, they even get better in the playoffs. If they win a Cup they’re bonafide all time playoff legends.

Get a damn goalie. Get a dman. Maybe get another C. This team can be champions this season with 1-2 moves. Bowman needs to nail this.

The problem is the killshots always come from the same guys. The scoring balance in this lineup is reprehensible. We have only 3 players with more than 7 goals. We have a lot of vets getting much of nothing and being happy to be at around a handful of goals on the season.

Without McDrai, scoring wise we're Anaheim. A sobering reality but it is.

This is a 3 forwards team with no potential for more.

 

[TheNumber4]

They absolutely need to move both goalies down a notch. Skinner is a fine 1B. They need someone better to push him back to 1B. If he can steal the spot back, great

Pickard could be a backup on a team with a top 5 goalie or some shit, idk. He wasn't the reason they lost today but they likely win both these turd games with a real tandem.

Ideally. But who’s that guy and at what cost. Last thing I want to see is a $5M “answer” in net, who sucks as bad as Campbell, or Kuemper, or Husso, or whatever sieve goalies that have been completely bad buys for their teams.

 

[VeteranPresence]

How quickly can we get rid of Stetcher? Too small and gets pushed around easily.

Stecher is a Knoblauch favorite like Ryan so even if a trade is out there I can’t see him taking his boy out so easily. Any other coach benches him before he takes that third penalty but Jeff Skinner is the only one who feels any heat.

 

[Oilhawks]

We lose one game against the Kings on the back of getting randomly rinsed in a bottom 6 matchup while being the better team for 40 minutes and now we have no chance against them.

Christ.

Not surprising, given the source

"Must be fun at parties" etc

 

[K1984]

We wouldn’t get stomped but I think as it is now they would beat us. They got better we got worse.

Don’t know where to even begin with this.

They (maybe) got better in the margins and we (maybe) got worse in the margins. Maybe, and I don’t think that’s even true on either count.

That’s not enough to just flip a 4-1 series win.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

LA will DESTROY us this year. Just a better team top to bottom. Literally the only thing we have better is McDrai. Our only hope of beating them is McDrai scoring almost 2 PPG in the series

This is some real chicken little shit.

Yeah if we play like we did the last 4 games in the playoffs we’re f***ed either way, doesn’t matter who we play lol.

However if we play like the 4 games previous to that (TBL, MIN, VGK, FLA) we probably win the cup.

It’s still December. It’s wild to be writing this team off when we still have over half the season left.

 

[Stoneman89]

One of the only players that showed up. A lot of passenger pieces of shit lately.

Maybe management and coaching can wake up and make a change to send a message

A whole lot of "don't give a f***" starting from the captain on down, except for Drai and Picks. One of our worst games in the last 2 months by far, considering the lowly opposition. Nurse with an absolutely brutal game. If not for Pickard, this is a blowout.

Bagskate them tomorrow morning. They certainly didn't work up a sweat this weekend.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Former players term to hate us. Lots of anger at management at the very least.

As well there should be. I'd take it as personal affront being traded for a joke like Ryan Spooner. Just how this org disregards its players. With so many examples of this. This is an org that gets rid of its own players and stocks the shelves with useless f***s like Old Connor Brown, Old Corey Perry etc. Does anybody really still want these duds around here. They're getting caved. Henrique too. When you bring in Kapanen from nowhere and he looks better than 2/3 of your forward group I think its a problem.

 

[Murphinator]

Shit

Damn that sucks. Hope you feel better man.

 

[Oilhawks]

Why do people here care about LA in the first round? Weird obsession.

For me, I'm just bored of it. Also they're a dirty team that gets away with murder and it's made the rest of the playoffs journey difficult with the injuries they end up nursing

 

[Bryanbryoil]

I just got home, we were up 2-1 when I left, wtf happened?

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Ah, one of the team's patented drunk mid-season games.

They have a bunch of youth there been improving. He threw ours out and added aging players who are on the decline. That youth and potential can make a difference.

That can change with some trades and stuff but right now.. I don’t like the teams direction.

Without Mc-Drai its a lottery team-period-and I think that's being objective. There is certainly some other talent on the team but none of it rises to the level that will carry a team into the playoffs.

 

[TKB21]

Disgusting effort, team is hard to cheer for sometimes.

Foegeles gonna shit the bed so hard for the Kings. Can’t wait to see it.

I know people will hate to hear this, and I like Knob for the most part, but IMO he's not getting enough out of this group. I'd like to see him make some better decisions with the forward lineups in particular.

 

[Lay Z Boy GM]

For some reason I seem to recall the 'dads trip' going better, maybe it was part of that win streak last year?

Either way I don't like it. They need to treat this like a f***ing job, even though it's a children's game they get paid millions to dick around half the time

Dads: “what the f*** was that? Where’s the effort?”

Moms: “you played perfectly it must have been bad luck”

Lazy, entitled, trash Oilers Country Club is back

The fact that Foegele alone has almost the same points as Arvidsson, Skinner and Henrique combined….and I don’t even like Foegele or want him here.

Dad sounds like the fans.

Mom sounds like our coach.

Consider the source. Cyclone is a knowledgeable guy but he’s extremely consistent with his takes on the team.

This guy has been a doubter ever since I’ve been on here lol. Shit loss. And to a certain extent he’s right because the Skinner/Arvidsson signings haven’t panned out at all. While LA has had a strong start like last year.

But as I said earlier, it’s December. A lot can happen in 46 games.
