I think you are forgetting poopty managment and development team. Add in poopty atmosphere in general. Some of the best fans in the game, but there's nothing that screams, "I REALLLYYY WANT TO PLAY FOR THE EDM OILERSSSSSSS!" Coming from the dressing room. No accountability, no flare or passion. It's a lack of direction and culture. You can argue or state there's a few personnel missing on the ice, sure, but the core is there, and there are teams finding success with less. I'm sick and tired of the constant changing of the players, what really needs to change is the culture in edm.

(frank) all the old edm vets running the show. They don't show any passion,so why should the players.

The kind of team where the blogger has no (frank)ing clue
- glove_was_stuck

Not that I want to defend his OPINION, but what makes you think anyone that posts here has a clue? I find it hilarious all the blogger hate towards someone for having an opinion. this blog isn't half bad when you break it down. hes touched on some interesting points.

Also at this point what hasn't been said about the oilers in 8 years. The team has soo much to be angry about. This site is hilariously filled with so many people with self esteem issues. I'm willing to bet 90% of the people who post here that play online games are the ragey types dropping n-bombs when the game doesn't go their way.

If the summation of the blog is to insert Gazdic into the lineup, go back to the drawing board.

Frankly Ryan, you need to take a months leave of absence. I hate to troll because I think you're a great blogger when you want to be. but what the hell. You go up and you go down with the team, you base your thoughts on the end result which is fair but it's misleading at times. You do not have the balance to step back from wins or loses and just look at the game. Lets look at the realities, the oilers are not a cup contender yet, it's questionable if they are playoff contenders yet. Having said that they are better record wise now then they were at this same point last year. At the same time they have proven they have a mental block when it comes to playing western teams it seems. But with all your questions you overlooked the simple most important question. are they better? the answer as of right now compairing their ten games to seasons past the answer is yes. And manhandling is not a good description of last nights game. and regardless of if you agree with Eakins, or myself for that matter the oilers have played 8 pretty decent games this year. Their compete level is much higher then it was last year. They may still struggle to find wins but as a whole the hockey they are playing is much better then it was. 4-5-1 is better then an 0-6-2 record the hurcanes are starring in the face right now. So I think it's time you give the oilers some credit. They didn't panic when they played good games and lost and they've critizied themselves when they won a game they probably deserved to lose in maturity alone the team is leaps and bounds ahead of what it was. and that's all there is too it.

he lives in jamaca... so I wonder how much of the games he actually sees. When he started out I loved his stuff. still do though I must admit to being hard on him today. The fact of the matter is he doesn't really take a good look at the team here. nor a rashinal outlook on it. He swings with the flow of the team, when they lose it's a beatdown everytime when in fact it's not. In essence his game analises reminds me of clouts at tiems thought I don't mean to insult him. he's got more brains and is definitely a much better blogger. Just think a little more close looking and logic would do him some good. but then again i'm volcan they say

I will just take it from the benevolent Whipper, that there is no need what so ever to read this rubbish.
