Guest Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 I'm happy for the Oilers fans... they've had to endure 10 years of terrible management and teams. I hope they make the playoffs this year and that we knock them out of the playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeBossy Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 They were a 1 line team last year and still are this year - nothing has really changed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaudette Celly Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 38 goals scored 20 by Draisaitl and Neal Toronto's showing what happens with just one injury on a top-heavy roster. It would be all the worse for Edmonton if one of those two or McDavid goes out for any length of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Buzzsaw* Posted October 30, 2019 Author Share Posted October 30, 2019 Deadmonton loses again.... Canucks two points behind with two games in hand. Bottom starting to fall out of Coiler leaky boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortorella's Rant Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 They only win when he scores. Shut him down, you shut the whole team down. Even if he does score, they still don't always win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In their last 7 games, McDavid and Nurse are the only others to score, one each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alflives Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Like I pointed out earlier. TBay is a terrible Defensive team, and has weak looking goaltending, when Hedmann is not playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point, it would be cruel not to feel sorry for them. Huge mistake trading Hall imo. Just imagine, Drai, McDavid and Hall all on one line... that would be sick. We ALL knew they lost that trade the moment it was made. Also trading Eberle was a another huge mistake. Which took away some secondary scoring.

Alflives Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Cory Schneider is done. Time to hang ‘em up. Just terrible. Don’t who’s worse now: Schneider or Quick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck fans have endured their arrogance for decades. Everything levels out. Edmonton just doesn't have the depth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aqua59 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Just last night Edmonton's fading was on display. Look at the divisional standings. Everyone has caught up to Edmonton. How long will the goaltending last? How about Edmonton's overall depth? Pretty shallow on all fronts past their top two players. this is healthy for Edmonton fans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't Mike Smith play the modified stand-up style of goaltending like Brodeur? I think durability isn't a factor for him. That being said, he's still relatively unproven in the playoffs. Either than that mini-run with the Coyotes back in 11-12, he has only 2 other 1st round exits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDavid and Draisatl are great players. They are playing 25 plus minutes in a lot of games. That clearly can't continue, which means they fall in the standing. Edmonton is in the bottom ten (again) and drafting another bustaroo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeBossy Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 I had to chuckle at Mark Spector's latest whine on Sportsnet webpage - crying about how boring the Coyotes are and how they have been a very boring team to watch for over 20 years. Even though he is right its a bit hypocritical to hack on an organization yet your team hired one of the guys who used to have the team play that style lol. Tippet had the Coyotes play that exact same style that beat the Coilers last night - Arizona didn't get gifted 1st overalls like Deadmonton did - they have no choice but to play that style and guess what it works and they beat Spector's team. No sense crying over spilled milk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they make the playoffs and that will likely placate most Oiler fans (which is sad) - any team with talent like Draisaitl and McDavid whose goal is to just make the playoffs is a waste of their talent. The fact is they are a 1st round exit every time with a line up like they have right now. Shut down the top line and you win. Also if either of them go down with an injury (which is a possibility with the way McDavid drives to the net) and they are screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to feel sorry though for anyone whose livelihood makes it necessary to live in Edmonton. Where is Sherwood Park? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
