*Buzzsaw* Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Mistake. Problem was not Tippet... it was the failure of the GM to provide a goalie, secondary scoring and defense who could do the job. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought McDavid backchecks all the time, at least Ive seen him do it last game we played. Not sure where your comment even comes from lol..

Nevermind backchecking, McJesus only has 8 points in his last 12 games. His offence has dried up. Miller has 10 points in his last 12 games and Petey has 10 points as well...

McDavid was 5th in TOI for their forwards........maybe that's why Tippett got axed. McWonder hasn't been all that wonderful for awhile. But of course you would never hear about it through the Rogers media strainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s probably one of those players who’s dad was the coach and always expects special treatment. Gotta laugh at the “leadership” group they have assembled there.

He is a top 10 or better player in this league; better than anyone we have. I would happily trade a Beoser and garland type contract to make up the $$. Edmonton is just plain stupid; they need to take the Canucks model, and give up draft capital to unload bad contracts. Give up a 1st Rounder to get rid of Koskinen and Smith. Then, sign a big swinger in FA. Instead, they refuse to do so, get cute, and draft redundancy in the draft.....stupid! I would absolutely love if we had McDavid or Draisatl on our team.

Seems like a lot since he still refuses to backcheck and constantly dives and throws tantrums. His dad completely failed at teaching him how to be a man, let alone a respectable teammate.

Sergei Shirokov Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Funny you guys are making fun of the Oil. Canucks also fired their coach and GM this year. Are in a worse place in the standings. No first round picks the last two years. Also lost a few second and third round picks along the way. Signed Holtby for a year only to buy him out the next year. Signed Virtanen, then buy him out a year later. They traded for a top six forward when they also needed some defensemen themselves. On a given night this year, half their blue line consists of Kyle Burroughs, Luke Schenn, Brad Hunt, or some other AHL crap. OEL is here with a full NMC for the next 5 years at 7.3 m. Petterson has almost completely disappeared. Unfortunately for VAN, this is likely as good as it gets. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right or wrong, this is what passionate fan bases do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Vanderhoek Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 The GM's inability to bring in NHL calibre players at key positions sounds like definitely a very good NHL coach's problem. Such a garbage move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Never thought we’d reach a point where you could have a legitimate debate about who was a worse GM with the Oilers, Chiarelli or Holland. But here we are… 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ummmm when your fanbase proclaims you have the two best players in the world and you continually sh*t the bed year after year you deserve all the shade thrown on you. You put those two on this team we have and I guarantee we are in a playoff position. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
