GDT: Somebody start a real thread. Oilers vs Islanders, site looks like 1980 video game WTF

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

Pickards getting a shutout.

I can feel it.

It also might be the taco bell I ate for lunch that I feel.

We’ve either got up to 10 players on this team who can’t play in the NHL anymore or we’ve got a roster that’s poorly coached. I’m not sure which it is and I guess we’ll have until the end of the season to try and figure it out. Personally, I’ve been putting the blame on the players but the last few games I’ve started questioning coaching more and more.
I think its quite clear that knob has no clue how to coach offensive players.

He's also at the games coached mark that the Oilers players start tuning out the coach.

I think its partially a leadership thing within the room, all these fringe players go else where and succeed and look like they shouldnt be in the NHL while here.
 

At least Knob is clued into the fact that RNH isn't a top six NHLer, only took him 60 games.

Of course, this is probably another one of those bait and switch. Kind of like last game where Skinner was supposedly starting in the top six, but ended up playing 10 minutes despite looking like one of the better offensive players on the ice.

Hopefully Pickard has a better start.

I think we are honestly just desperate and will try anything right now. Other than start me. This team makes no sense
I asked Gary, personally. He said that the league has a mandate to "maintain competitive balance", also citing the salary cap. He says yeah you're impressive, but a little bit too impressive. Then he hung up on me.

Knob threw the game away yesterday by putting Jones on the ice in a stupid situation, and now Jones is being punished for it.
 
Liking Henrique and Perry on the wings in the top-6. Not idea why Brown is up though

And Emberson was atrocious last game, Ekholm cant get back soon enough
