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

Shitting on Nurse and Dermott is low hanging fruit.

Why aren’t we being more critical of McDavid and Draisaitl?

Combined they are 1-2-3, a minus NINE with 8 SOG.

That’s f***ing embarrassing.

Hyman and Nuge have even been worse than that
You barely know Nuge is even playing most games. Guy is the biggest mooch there is. So damn Vanilla. He does nothing great.

The 8 shots might be the biggest indictment out of that horrific and embarrassing stat line.
Why shoot when you can attempt 1 million passes through 3 or 4 opposition skates?

Not paying hard nose, hard work hockey is kicking their ass right now.

But some of the off-season moves an not addressing our D is hurting them big time.

Expecting another coaching change soon. Not sure if it’s the right move or not though.

I’m tired of axing coaches every fall. The fault is ultimately on the players for not executing. The forwards, defense, and goaltending have all been ass to start the season.

Really, the only “knee jerk” sort of reaction I would like to see this early into the season is for Dustbin Shartz to (finally) get shit canned

Do Jackson-Bowman have the balls to tell Daddy Katz his niece’s hubby or whatever has to go?
I remember Got Yer Back Podcast or others said this was false and he has no relation to Katz in any way?

He seems to be untouchable though

When Jeff Skinner is your most noticable player, you've got a problem. A 0-3 start, this has the potential to become more ugly real quick.

In all honesty, say you didn’t know what Nurse was being paid and watched him “play”, where in the d lineup do you think he should be and how much should he actually be making?
A poster on hfOil wrote "Nurse is much closer to a 0.925m than to a 9.25m player and this is painfully accurate statement. Wonder if & how they'll try to fix this down the road..

League is getting younger, faster, bigger, and rangier. Let's get rid of 3 young, fast, big, and rangy guys.

Ugh. The team does not look good right now.
Finally someone who understands common sense around here instead of convincing other posters how to fit a square peg into a round hole. Sometimes Veterans take time to come around , you need youthful exuberance to carry the play when things go wrong.

Hey Wayne, do you think the Oilers can get back to the Cup Finals based on the first three games?

I would argue that Arvidsson and Skinner should be better 2nd line wingers than Holloway and Foegel. Mcleod is an enigma, let me know if he ever figures out hockey. Very disjointed play right now and not nearly enough work ethic. I'm sure eventually they'll figure it out, hopefully sooner than later.

I said this last year, it seems more amplified to lose 3 in a row when it's your first 3 games. If the oilers lose these 3 games at the 20 or 40 game mark it doesn't feel as impactful even though it's the exact same thing.

They'll figure it out, just like they did last year. No need to do anything stupid. The talent simply did not disappear. No need to dig into this all that deep. Their struggles haven't been due to one thing, it is a collective amount of garbage that is team wide.

That said, they've already spotted Vegas a 6 point lead on the division, which they just desperately need to go out and win this year to play more playoff games at home. They shoot themselves in the foot continuously.

So we have to fire the coach, fire the goalie coach, take the C from McDavid, trade Drai, break Nurse's legs, beg for Broberg to come back, hire Knob and fire him again, it's karma from the Bowman hiring, trade for soft ass McLeod back, make Skinner go on a diet, find Nuge's balls, McD is the worst leader in sports, etc.

Did I miss anything? Start is frustrating and all but calm your tits some of you. f*** sakes, you think last year would have given them more than 3 games of rope, but fill your boots I guess.

I can't remember if in mentioned this earlier, but I'll say it again, Stan resigning in disgrace in a public press conference would do wonders for the bs this Franchise currently has to endure.

Yeah, you missed the McDavid got married and Draisaitl got engaged angle.

There wasn't any reason to hire him in the first place. They should've conducted an actual search but once again they went straight to the buddy well since it's worked so well the last few times.
