There's no time!

I am going to try and watch it, I will bring a bag of 4 leaf clovers, a golden horseshoe and a rabbit foot with me and then I am gonna sacrifice a chicken to the hockey gods.

I wish they could find a way to give Yaks some more ice time as well. No sense in panicking after only two games. If they are still losing like this after 20 games, then we can hit the panic button. Eakins defense seems to be a confused bunch out there. I hope they get it organized sooner than later. Fasth played a pretty good game against the Canucks, hope they play him again against L.A.

Eakins still switching lines sure gives the appearance that he has no clue how to use the talent he's got. Having Yak play such few minutes is merely reinforcing my belief that the man simply doesn't know what he's doing. MacT made the boo-boo hiring him so of course he continues to say publicly that he's what the Oilers need, but that tune will change as the losses pile up. When will the management take notice of that blazing light flashing in the room and realize they've got to cut their losses, fire this guy and get a competent coach on this Team?
CBC is predicting Scrivens plays tonight. If Eakins starts him and not Fasth, then what evidence of recent performances is he basing that decision on?

Please trade him- while he has a tonne of value...

Let the tanking begin!! And those poor bastards in Carolina and Buffalo thought they had 1-2 locked down.... No one tanks more successfully in today's hockey than the Edmonton Oilers!!

Too bad, McDavid's already attending Sabres games.

He is waiting for the Oilers and their Eastern swing...

BINGO! Sad that it takes a mildly entertaining Troll to spell it out for people. The roster isn't that good. We have some great pieces, but this isn't a playoff line up. Eakins isn't THE issue. He might be one of many, but the main one is as you stated. Mac T has done a great job in the limited time he has had, but the job is far from done.

Imagine the Oilers are a classic '72 Charger that was found in some old farmers barn, off the road for 30 years. Solid frame and most of the body is somewhat intact. Engine is still in good shape save a part or there, but overall a piece of poop with no tires, torn interior, and some rust and glass damage.

So Mac T has rebuilt the engine, replaces the pistons, cleaned or replaced the hoses and fuel pumps, new wipers, new wiper motor, new filters,new battery ,alternator and connectors, quality bondo and wicked awesome paint job, new windshield, new rims, sweet new leather interior and seats, upgrade on the stereo and replaced all the lamps.

Did Mac T do a great job on this car? (frank) yeah! Is it ready to do the quarter mile?
(frank) NO! Still missing the tires, Fan Belt and there is a hole in the gas tank.

Not as optimistic as you. This car has dirty spark plugs and some condensation in the gas, plus a few other missing parts; an oil change simply wasn't enough.

I do love how McDavid is already planning on being drafted by them.

curious, for the guys who are saying Fire Eakins...who do they plan on having replace him, and saying anyone would be better than Eakins is not an answer.

Whats the point of dropping a coach just to add another coach with little to no NHL experience? There isnt like there is some NHL savy coach just waiting to be picked up.

I think Torts is available. He's great for developing young prospects. He's a motivator and maybe all this team needs is a motivator.

Maybe there was some Buffalo tampering already?? Make no mistake- the art of tanking successfully - is long and painful

Draft lottery baby! Rules have changed. God I hope the worst team in the league does not get McDavid.

Worst team only gets a 20% of getting the first pick overall.
