You've said yourself that I am not derpy when it comes to hockey. (Minus Lucic last night, that was bad.)

Potter? No. Peckham? Yes.
- OilDerek

Joe Corvo is still around somewhere

again this new defense and goaltending has looked so good for the oilers can't wait to see marincin and klefbom oh wait they're AHL players

Yakcity -3 on the night and hasn't been at fault for any

The Oilers need to trade this whole team of bums, for players that actually try.

Marincin belongs playing the most minutes on EDM's left side. But you are a fan of mcgrattan's so why bother

I wish I knew where Eakins lived so I could leave a poop on his front doorstep every night, Cartman style, until he left town.

Someone just needs to start packing his wife...

He's better than Potter. But you or I could probably play better than Potter.
- DTF69

at least Potter could PK

I wish I kept a serious log of all the times "professionals" that "KNOW THE GAME BETTER THAN YOU!" made such blatantly terrible decisions so I could just send it to a team with a resume and be like "lol hi"

I love this post

that other crazy poster 'longbottom' used to be absolutely adamant that no one outside the game could possibly know as much as those guys. couldnt possibly see it any other way.

This team honestly has the parts for 3 peices of a top 4 and what should be an okay top four. Missing the real top pair guy but things shouldn't be that bad. Petry-Fayne-Marincin are good defence. Nikitin and Jultz are bottom pair/specialty deployment.

But its more important to have Eakins AHL picks and fitness buddies in the lineup than good hockey players that aren't bad at hockey.

Ha, ha... He's first pairing material silly.

What do you mean? As dillusional Oilers fans we see no issues with the team tonight.

Are you here to tell us that something isn't right?

Please, share your insight, we are all lost and confused.

Hey I know you guys know. You're all nice chaps, except that (frank)wit Iggysbff.

Honestly, as a Leafs fan, I get it. Trolled, ridiculed for ages and ages now.

But seriously, I don't know what exactly the cure is for the Oilers. Those last two goals. Where do you begin to solve this?

The young core must be losing interest, or becoming numb. The goalies are terrible (admittedly crazily ironic coming from a Leafs fan), the support cast is, well, nondescript. Is it the coach/is it the players?

Do you have to trade one of the 3 forwards (Eberle, RNH or Yakupov). Do you stay patient? Problem with patient is every new kid is coming into this

I dunno? And yes, the Leafs are poop with some terrible contracts.

Oh Longbottom... How I long for the days when it was actually acceptable for the Oil to take it up the ass on a nightly basis.

Marincin-Petry
Nikitin-Fayne
Ference/Klefbom-Schultz

is a defence I'm not too mad about.

Nurse-Schultz
Nikitin-Fayne
Hunt-Ference

is not using the limited resources at Eakins' disposal. Say what you will about the roster in front of him, he's done his job depreciating it too

It's (frank)ing mind boggling. I have no idea how Mac T is gonna find a legit top pair D Man tho.

Losing is a terrible disease that is hard to cure and its almost like we are so accustomed to losing that its become the norm and THAT is a very bad thing for a locker room to have

We've had three or four 2 on 1s. Why can't we score like other teams

Taylor "never pass" Hall. Must suck to play with him. lol

I'm with you...I have no idea how to fix this. To me, defense comes in 3 parts, Goaltending, Defense and at Center. Good thing we have lots of good wingers.

I've becoming less and less convinced over time that you need to be hockey smart versus just having a second uncle that knows a guy or having played a bit. That is honestly all.

Actually, I'm not convinced of it anymore to be honest. What were MacT's qualifications to be a GM? "He used to coach the Oilers!"

What were Eakins qualifications? He coached the Marlies and got the hype train that comes with it. The Marlies weren't a team that succeeded because of the young Leaf picks. That Marlies team rode career AHLers in prominent positions.

holy poo poo

Hall can't pass, goalies knows.

It's (frank)ing mind boggling. I have no idea how Mac T is gonna find a legit top pair D Man tho.

Well, he's gonna need two with Petry all but gone.

I'm sure finding two will be easier than finding one.

Eberle, Petry, Klefbom + 2nd rounder in 2015?
