I would look to move Schultz, Eberle and Yakupov for competent 2 way players
- andymaury

Agreed... I wouldn't give a sh1t if either (or all) of those guys were gone.

I predict the following people will be fired:

Eakins
Acton
Chabot
Rodrigue
- Morris

That is a good start- I would even venture to say a couple level above need to be cleaned out and replaced with fresh blood as well...

As I asked last night:

Sam Gagner 21GP 9 points 50.8% CF 49.3% FO

Mark Arcobello 21GP 8 points 49.7% CF 50.2% FO

Can anyone identify which one is the complete loser single-handedly dragging our team down and which is the underrated rough gem who's our future 2nd line centre?
- Morris

TBH we would have been further ahead as a team if Cogs and Gags had amounted to anything but table scraps... (frank)ing Oilers and their development and poopty draft selections...

Agreed... I wouldn't give a sh1t if either (or all) of those guys were gone.

Could thiose 3 be turned into Anisimov, Coburn and Simmonds?

Agreed. There's simply not many guys who give a (frank) on the Oilers... That's CLEAR to anyone who is actually watching these games.

If they played with heart and actually gave a damn, I wouldn't even mind the losing... It's the obvious lack of effort that really brings my piss to a boil.

We had way less talent in 2006... but the team played balls deep together... and would have got a cup to prove it had MA Bergeron and Ty Conklin were not part of that team...

I wrote a blog:

What time is the presser??? Many claimed last night that there was a presser coming for today...

Stu "Magnificent Bastard" MacGregor

Is Dan Tencer literally Alex_Oil?

Fair to wonder where the team would be if Ralph Krueger had gotten the same loyalty and backing from management, instead of 48 games?

If Rollie hadn't gotten injured...

But yeah... That 2006 team gave a sh1t... Not sure if it was because they were afraid of Pronger, or what it was

That quote is 100% true though... Krueger was (frank)ed over.

Myers for....free.


Seriously i'd be okay with that, just get the (frank) out of our basement dammit

1st in the east

oh who is your core you watch more carefully then i would im sure. I dont like RNH as a number 1 and if drisaltle is your future 2...
- jake24242

Yeah I have no concern with RNH. He'll be. PPG Center in the west. He and LD are fine as a tandem....in about 3 yrs.

Nuge, LD , Nurse, Perron, Fayne,Marincin, Klefbom....that's about it.

It's nice to have one team I cheer for be not absolute sh1t. So glad they beat the Cavs last night.

Clear the track for Connor Mac

Hall?

That quote is 100% true though... Krueger was (frank)ed over.
- laughs2907

It's true that he was given a raw deal.

I don't think you'd need to ruminate on what could have been too long to conclude we wouldn't have been substantially better.

It astonishes me that so many oilerites - maybe not necessarily you, but definitely Alex - agree we need experience and fresh perspectives on the Oilers, but still worry about having slighted greener-than-Eakins, promoted-from-within Ralphie.

Zach galifianakis is the poop.....

Hall?
- laughs2907

Because no one but trolls has ever asked whether he's the problem before, he now believes that Hall is the problem.

down by 18 at one point too, sixth man took lebron to school last night. Such a joy watching a well coached well balanced team at both ends of the court.

I just want some emotion from Eakins... Of all the times they show him on the bench, I have not once seen him communicate with any of his players. It's always just that blank stare... That's all I ever see.

Well I predict he's not going to be in the job for long from here on out. Maybe you'll see some emotion at that press conference.
