who cares
f***ing do your job and score...you making excuses for their poor play is hilarious

I'm kinda glad they aren't bailing this sad sack management out.

This franchise lets be clear has thought that Mikko Koskinen and Jack Campbell were worthy of big contracts and being the no.1 G on a Cup contending team at some point.

Think about that honestly for 5 seconds.

They might put Gulutzan in charge for the interim. People forget he's had head coaching experience for enemy no. 1, and I just can't see how a new coach can come in and reform systems play and fix their laziness / indifference with this much pressure. No f***ing way.
f*** no.

how are people more angry at other fans for voicing their opinions, no matter how wild or stupid than being mad at this organization for being fed complete shit for 13 years

Fans from other teams are free to voice their opinions (that’s what the main boards are for). It’s classless coming in here after a loss (when their team didn’t even play us tonight to boot) to add fuel to the fire. That’s just asking for an earful. Not surprised it’s the Nucks fans as they can be very annoying when they manage to have a winning team (doesn’t happen too often).

He did sweet fk all to address the goaltending or the defensive in the off season. This is his mess and he absolutely better not get a chance to make it even worse

Yep.
This garbage GM doesn't deserve to fire a 2nd coach or should he have another opportunity to make another trade. Year 5 of his tenure, and the exact same weaknesses in the roster still exists. That belongs solely on Ken Holland. f*** you too, Bob Nicholson

McDavid and Draisaitl can show up any time this season.

Draisaitl too busy floating around pouting instead of being an actual leader, what a complete f***ing loser.

Drai is playing at 10%. He should be embarrassed.

They guaranteed Woodcroft is fired tomorrow imo. Has to happen now but then what?

McDavid was lazy passing all night.

wtf is going on? Bigger issues than the record

Check all the rips on Woodcroft on Twitter from msm guys. I wasn't spewing bullshit when I posted he was hated around the league.

Honestly think Woodcroft was given a shitty mix of players. Not the best coach but not bottom of the league bad. Just too many high profile players who have done f*** all for whatever reason. Holland's fault for some major f*** up cap consuming signings

The bottom 6 has 2 points the entire season, a 2nd assist by McLeod and an empty net assist by Ryan. I mean... My God

This is what we always feared the team was without McDrai playing like gods. Worse than the Sharks. My God
Yup, useless season for points for McLeod, Janmark, Holloway, Brown, and Ryan! :facepalm:

Draisaitl has been our best player this season. Not saying much I realize.

Maybe the very high priced McD could be more than a PPG and stop throwing pucks away. McD gave up a breakaway while on PP nobody talking about that.

7mins into 2nd McD passed the puck to a Shark right at his own line almost creating a GA. Nobody talking about that.

Always lets get on Drai.

I've never piled in on Drai for the record. But he was liable for the first goal. Missed his coverage completely.

McDavid does need to be better absolutlely.

But laying this loss at Skinner's feet is lazy asf. They scored 3 goals. League average GAA is 2.95.

Score a goal. Anyone! Please!

It’s not even about that anymore. Even with average goals against we would still have a losing record because our scoring is that bad.
And yet the Oilers outshot them 2-1 tonight and had a clear shot advantage as they have in numerous games this season--but they just can't seem to snipe any. Most of the shots are easily handled--baffled as to why Oiler shooters have such pop guns this year.

I’d love for the analytics guys to explain the money puck/Corsi tilt in all these Oilers losses. “Shot quality” you say….

In purgatory
We lost 40 seconds on that PP (waiting to pull the goalie) because McDavid couldn't even make a simple down low pass.

I was no hockey player but can a physical issue cause your passing to get this bad or is it a confidence issue?
I don't know what's wrong with him but he is a phantom out there. Not even close to the same player from only 1 f***ing year ago. Headspace isn't in the right place, physically doesn't seem to be right.. mystifying.

I was talking about other fellow oilers fans, not other fanbases. Those lot can f*** off agreed

Fully expect to wake up tomorrow morning and Woody be gone. And hopefully others. How this team went from being an offensive juggernaut the last bunch of years to the worst offense, goals against and PK this season is mind boggling. You aren't going to win many games being dead last in so many categories. lol
Holloway will be assigned and like Erne recalled. Absolutely nothing will happen.

Lol. Gazdic with a good line that teams should be able to adjust defensive system game to game. That it shouldn't be some big deal that we announced changing from man on man to zone after Vegas embarrassed us. 100% true IMO. Woody is not the only problem, but how Vegas was able to expose our "system" to a point they could even comment on it in interviews and then just expose it some more was insane and shook my confidence that woody is much more than a cheerleader type of coach.

Still, Holland needs to be first first. No way you let Holland pick coach #3

I will not be sorry for speaking up against failures of this franchise when other fans didn’t
Speaking up to who? by posting on HF? Did you write any letters to the Oilers? Call them? Go to press conferences?

You did nothing to voice your opinion to people that could actually do anything.
