Post-Game Talk: The Hangover was actually a funny movie. This … is very unfunny.

If Bowman’s first move with this adversity is to fire Knob I’m going to IRA him.

We’re gonna hire Quenneville and become Prison HC.

Just realized Nurse might be our Redden

Let Calgary fans have their Stanley Cup experience this fall, good for them.

Disappointed in the Oilers though. Got caught up in their newspaper clippings again. Not sure why we have to learn this lesson over and over again.

.900 goaltending would be nice too. Basically the lowest scoring clubs in the league are dropping 5 spots on us. A save would be great. And so would some finish. Same team as just year, but we're missing all of our snarl.

Who the f*** cares about goaltending?

WE’VE SCORED 2 GOALS IN 3 GAMES

We could have a reanimated Jaques Plante back there and we’d still be 0-3.

Redden was actually good at one point.

When you get goaltending like this, your only hope is that 2 of the World's best players are 2 of the World's best players every single night.

These guys are going to send me into a dark place.

I’d be happy to see them as 2 of the World’s best players for a period at this point

I already have a 50ft 1/2inch rope and step stool in my home depot cart.

With Nurse, is it too much to ask him to just be mediocre instead?

Edmonton Remand Centre HC

The way the Oilers are playing right now that place might be full by next week.

A period? I’d take a shift at this point.

A very slow start but joking aside they will turn it around. They have to realize that summer is over and the magazine and Youtube "magic run" moments are over too.

They will be a lot better. They just have too much talent to do otherwise.

 

[McFlash97]

Jackson and Bowman managed to absolutely desecrate a Stanley cup team in one offseason. In 2 months. This is what happens when you hand the reigns to amateurs and guys who never should have been let into this league in the first place.

 

[Jumptheshark]

One observation and not trying to start a war--just an observation. For presence in the goal we need to compare this season and last season. Every couple of years the NHL "updates" just what that means

 

[Mr Kot]

Last season was probably the last time we are going to be in the finals for a long time. Sadly, this team composition is too bad to move forward.

 

[The Panther]

Just came back from my class and checked the score... was 1-0 Oilers when I went to class, came back to see a 4-1 loss. Yep.

Well, I actually think the team is going to be okay in the end. They have too much talent and are in a not-particularly-good division, so I think they're going to recover. As we saw last year, they're capable of suddenly winning 15 in a row or whatever.

This game's two goals called back seemed kind of cheap or debatable, at least. If Drai had hit the empty net yesterday and if those two "goals" today aren't called back, the club is probably 2-1 now instead of 0-3, even with most players underperforming. But it is what it is.

As we all predicted (or I did, anyway), the defence is bad after losing two regular right-handers. A 34-year-old is the club's only dependable Dman, but how long can he keep it up? If Katz wants to see a Stanley Cup during his tenure, the best option might be to pay-off Nurse to either retire or sign somewhere else.

They'll likely be okay in the end, but dayum they have to win the next one. Can't possibly start 0-4 on a homestand, can they...?

Textbook example of self fulfilling prophecy.

Sign a contract you know you can’t live up to. Proceed to not live up to it in the most disastrous way possible.

 

[Oilhawks]

A period? I’d take a shift at this point.

 

[harpoon]

Seriously, purge the front office, Katz.

Then purge yourself.

Making this about Katz is beyond stupid.

Brother you’re our source of optimism. We are truly lost.

We need to relax but this is how this board has been for years. when we get to game 15 and we are having games like this? Then we need to look at doing drastic things

 

[North]

We’re gonna hire Quenneville and become Prison HC.

Knoblauch is Jackson’s guy.
