I saw a Schlep Rock too

Yes, Moulson isn't playing as a role player right now, he's in the top 2 lines, playing Kane's role for the most part.

Ennis - 0 goals
Girgensons- 1 goal
Deloser- 0 goals
Foligno - 1 goal
Larsson - goals
Gionta - 2 goals
Blue line - 0 goals


What are you not seeing?

And what exactly is the scoring rate for a bottom 6 forward??

I have had zero issue with Moulson's game. 1 goal per 5 games would be every single persons you listed minus Gionta's and Ennis's career high in goals scored

I read your post after the game last night and thought you were spot on. Like you, we will follow this team until the day we leave this earth and will always root for the blue and gold.

Some don't want to believe it but good things are coming.

Baptiste scored his first goal.

Had 5:49 of ice time

Thanks for that update. It was such a mad scramble I couldn't tell who scored and I couldn't hear the announcer. No wonder I didn't notice Baptiste last night, the poor kid was never on the ice!

That's the point I'm trying to make every time someone loses a player another player steps up but with us we make excuses that's all I'm saying

And we have asked you numerous times to find a team that has lost 2 of their top 6 forwards and still been able to score goals.

You can't find one because every single team struggles to score goals as it is in the NHL take away 2 of their top 6 forwards and every team is going to see a dip in scoring.

Eeyore75pts keeps saying we are making excuses. Seems he doesn't understand the difference between an excuse and reason.

Alright so it's settled. We shouldn't expect goals. Any goals scored are overachievements

If you are actually thinking about it, why would a fan base of a team that lost Jack freaking Eichel and Evander Kane due to injuries right before the season and 2 periods in the season expect them to score more goals than the previous season?

Serious question if you expected something different I don't know what to tell you.

There is a reason everyone just hopes this team treads water until they both get back. Winning games without them isn't going to be easy and it isn't going to make for fun hockey most nights.

You see these excuses are getting old when other teams are losing their franchise star players and they still dominate The next Guy steps up what about our team ?

The Oilers had a losing record with Connor McDavid scoring over a point per game,

They lost because this isn't a 1 man per team league.

If you think it will be roses when Eichel comes back with the way they are currently playing, unless Bylsma fixes some things, we will all be disappointed

The Habs had no problem with us without him

I would like to learn more about the advantages of a Catholic school education in Western New York.

That first game was our team in a shambles after Jack went down. Ever lose a puppy ?

Are we good yet?

- chilliard77

Yep. Not on the ice losing atm, so we are good.

Does anyone know exactly what the scheme of Disco Dan's "system" is? Because to me, it looks a hell of a lot like the NJ Devils. Boring, boring hockey. Will this change when Jack and Evander come back?

The Oilers problem was never scoring goals, the Oilers problem was not being about to stop getting scored on.

Did the Oilers lose McDavid and Eberle at the same time?

Last nights game the Sabres didn't play bad. There was one mistake by pretty much everyone on the ice at the same time that ended up in the back of the net and they got scored on shorthanded.

They weren't burying their chances. It wasn't they weren't generating chances.
