s4xon Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Oilers getting stomped tonight by the Canucks. A resounding tone with this club. No amount of magic coaching can turn a team around on a dime, even with a guy like Eakins. 5 head coaches in 5 years. MacT and Lowe are going to have to trade one of their perennial superstars sometime. One deal with one of their 1st picks could land them 3 solid players for their bottom 6. Depth is one of many things killing this team as they can't draft worth beans. Lowe needs to be canned. He's cancerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C_worthy Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 the Oilers were an absolute joke tonight - no effort, no pushback whatsoever Hall was brutal JSchultz was worse. If he was my teammate I would have punched him in the face for that effort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DL44 Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Heh.. Felt bad for Oiler fan listening to that CBC post game... It's quite obvious that if you are already a fringe team, you can't be missing your top 2 centers and hope to contend vs better teams. Man they missed them defensively.

travel_dude Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 Time for another oil change? More like, time for a diaper change. I like the skills that Hall brings to the team, but he seems to be a sookie at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_People1 Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 Looks weird to see Andrew Ference Captain of the dirty Oilers. I thought he would forever go down as a Calgary Flames through and through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucid_Flame91 Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 I keep on thinking back to the article that said, the coilers were done with the rebuild and its time to win, I guess they missed the memo. 4-1 for the habs tonight, time to tank for ekblad lol.

It's alright, they'll fix it next year with another head coach, or in 2 years with another GM. Lowe will become a co-owner by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyB12 Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 I was wondering what kinda excuses I would hear from the Oilers/ Fans this year, Tonight I heard a new one "MTL got dominated by the worst team in the NHL last night so obviously they would bring it, the Oilers will be a cup team soon as they get a new arena just you wait" hahaha I just shook my head and laughed!

C_worthy Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 I just have one question; How long until Oiler fans start claiming that it was never part of the plan to make the playoffs this year (just a bonus if it happened) and the real plan was to tank for Ekblad? Then NEXT year - watch out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then NEXT year - watch out! Probably near the end of November. Unless they trade @ least 1 of the golden children they'll be planning the draft party. Checking their threads some are getting desperate but the others just get their koolaid prescription refilled. & don't forget that 2015 features the next-next-next (etc.) Gretzky.

jjgallow Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 I just feel sorry for the first-overall pick. At some point, there's going to be an ugly standoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyerfan52 Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 I just feel sorry for the first-overall pick. At some point, there's going to be an ugly standoff. Under current rules that 1/1 can't do a Mario Lemiuex (refuse to sign until he gets bigger $s) as there is the rookie salary max. He could however sit until traded (like Eric Lindros). That would be payback for the J Schultz story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that would be the icing on the cake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invin Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 I'm sure the next 1st overall pick will have visions of Yakz, Hall, Eberle, Nuge, and the gang all saying, "Joiiiiiinnnn ussssssssss...." in zombie voices. "What's the matterrrrrrr..." "We have... potentialllllllllllllllll...!" "We're a dyyyyyyyyyyyyynastyyyyyyyyyyyy...." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjgallow Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 Oh for sure, I'm not suggesting that it would be a salary issue. Any first-overall pick would have to at least have some concern, in the back of their head, about having their entire career poisoned, and their development stunted. I'm....not even sure that I'd blame them. It's starting to get silly. And...sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
