Signs with a team to get a chance to play in the playoffs. Will probably spend the entire playoff keeping the popcorn machine filled up in the press box.

The best goalies are generally the ones on teams who win more.
I’ll bet all of the NHL goalies would look trashy on some of the worst defensive coverage teams.
Leafs would be better than the Oilers if Matthews grew some balls and played in the playoffs.
They're a better built team overall, just hard to overcome your top player turning into a p***y in the playoffs.

They’re are dumb posts on here but this is outrageously stupid. How does adding Walman, Frederic and Jones make us worse?

Sometimes miracles
I mean I didn't hire him, and the situation is a bit different. I know you're being obtuse on purpose, but yeah that ain't happening.
It's only the way that every statistical measure told us was going to improve the team.
You guys are upset with fans who want to improve the team enough to be competitive, especially while said team is playing its worst hockey in years?
It's not a tantrum, just an accurate observation with a side of sass
Sorry if it hit a little close to home.

No goalie added = EPIC FAIL.
Not having a plan B, C, or D after failing to acquire Rantanen for a top 6 winger = EPIC FAIL
No 4C = EPIC FAIL
Frederic and Walman were good adds but this shit isn’t all in compared to Colorado, Dallas, and Florida.
f*** off Bowman

I’m not saying we should have got all of them. I’m saying it’s impressive to not even hit on ONE of the things you needed.
We did get a good player but now we are forcing guys to play their off side which none of them have done all that much which is a risk on its own.
Yeah didn’t need 2 top 6 wingers but we didn’t even get one.
Our current #1 was definitely there with us last year but he is markedly worse this year.
Last year is all fine and dandy but you have to look at how your guys are playing. Our goaltending as a whole is worse.

I can see the f***ing press conference now "I know a thing or two about second chances"
If he's acquited of his charges, actually I could see the Oilers throwing him a contract.

I thought about Jacques Plante this week. heh
WHA was a lot of fun and even in yrs the team wasn't bad it only cost anywhere from 3-7bucks to get in. You were guaranteed something interesting moments in that league anyway.
Tell ya. Quebec Nordiques had a better club in WHA, and much more entertaining than the Habs team that shuffled in last night.
Anytime the Houston Aeros, Jets Nordiques or New England were coming into town you were seeing talent out there.
Oilers had a boring lineup until Gretz came, truth be told. There was Jim Harrison before that. I once did a thread here on him being the Oilers first ever Star player.
Not at all close to home. I'd give them a D for the effort personally. I just like to act my age. Maybe you just like to as well?It's only the way that every statistical measure told us was going to improve the team.

There are a lot of over the top reactions right now because we didn’t get a goalie.
We pretty clearly failed to execute our plan, too many balls in the air and it just all evaporated.
We lost Holloway and Broberg so we could accrue cap. We played with a short roster all year to accrue cap. We spent extra assets on Frederic to minimize our cap hit.
Now we're like 3 million under the cap?
It's frankly just kind of unacceptable.

Name the last team that made a big add at TDL that won the cup.?
Geez maybe we should have had him named as a GM when we could have been paid to take Walman for free. Instead Jackson was too busy watching the team someone else built play in the finals.

I'll tell you which team isn't winning the Cup this year: The Oilers.
Maybe they talked to them about goaltending and that isn’t what they said.
Then if they did something that would be a slap in the face?

As long as the Oil have Mc-D and Drai there is no point in lining up at the High Level Bridge.
Is Laughton and Carlo and Bjorkstrand and Gourde (especially considering the prices) better? Those teams gave up multiple 1sts for players that will arguably have similar impact to the Oilers players, the Toronto duo in particular. I know that everything is very end of the world with you guys right now and I get why everybody is upset as it wasn't a stellar deadline but it's not as dire as some are making it out to be.
Because we are in a win now Window and 5 teams got better than us. Sometimes you need to pay up to win.
We are in a worse spot now than we were 2 weeks ago. That is fact
By your logic, when’s the last time the oilers went all in. I know you’re a boot licker with the management but you really think this team is going far with Skinner and Pickard? LOL.
