I disagree. We were winning games against the east, and steadily improving. Then somewhere along the way, things went south. It's just a theory, anyways.

Here's something, Mike Keenan once made a player stay out for a 7 minute shift because he stayed out for seconds longer than Keenan's limit. He made the players on the bench hold shut the gate so he couldn't get back in.

He went on to score on that seven minute shift, and never went over his time limit again.


Do you think Eakins would pull this, ever??

Hold on a second Bubba. Eakins is a piece of poop, but I don't see this steady improvement you're talking about. Who did they beat from the East? Habs and Rangers,and TBay, great! Buffalo , Washington and Carolina, woopTipoo. Most those wins were at home too.
This team can't win. In fact, name 1 winning team that built around a winger? Toronto? Washington? Columbus?Atlanta?
Name a current team that is good that doesn't have at least 2 NHL Centers I. Their top 2 lines, a legit top pair Defensemen and a starting goalie?
Yet you think the Oilers can win despite all this with a different coach? Gimme a break kid.

Way to go out on a limb.... Maybe post something you would tap after 8 or 9 deep...

Maybe her with out make up.... she looks like the gal on the right.

The decision to fire Krueger might be the worst decision MacT has made as GM. Players liked Krueger.

You know when Oilers fans see former Oilers playing in the KHL, or retired, or unsigned, and they say "see! He's not even NHL calibre! I told you all along he sucks".

Well Ralph Krueger has left the sport of hockey, so why exactly should he escape this judgement?

I think the Oilers would benefit from having a vetern head coach

For those of you into tanking (well, continuing to tank) and taking McDavid, why do you believe that would allow us to trade key assets to get a dman and finally compete?

If they haven't made major moves trading the kids before getting McJesus, why would you have any confidence they'll do so after?


- Morris

The hope will be that McDavid is the one to turn the boat around.

Marginally. The team is still flawed beyond a quick fix.

But evidently these guys are counting on supplemental moves.

Unless they think the exact same team + McDavid is going to bring the oilers to success. ..

Atlanta tried to build around a winger. They sucked.whats so hard to uneed stand?

I always thought Guy Carbonneau got a raw deal in montreal, if they could get his input on the 2 way selke winning ways and get Oates as well, he did wonders to the PP in Tampa.

Still missing a head coach but getting staffers like that would be huge

I would argue there is a quick fix, it's just that that fix is adding a top 10 defenseman in the world for free.

fixing the oilers is one difficult step long.

It starts with the net out though. Till we start building the right we are effed.
