He's a great goalie, sure.

I'll take the word of a Bruins fan who watches them every game of every year. He lets in some sh!t goals.

But, OK, I'll take him over Hutton and Ullmark. Not that that's a huge debate.

You were using the fact that he may let in a few soft ones to impugn his ability. Hasek used to let softies in too. In fact he let in one of the softest goals ever.



I do maintain he purposely let that in, because that was his last game as a Sabre.

Here’s problem A- the coach doesn’t trust some of the good ones.

He’s relying on bad ones.

Jake McCabe should be shot into the sun, same with Girgensons

They will get more ice time than they should Tuesday

Maybe they tankin’? Just one more high draft pick before trying for the playoffs.

Mittelstadt is lost.

I dont even have the will for a good rant. Botterill should be gone. His forwards suck so (frank)ing hard. Whatever

Wow, I'm impressed, did he stay at a Holiday Inn last night, too?

I still like Fitzpatrick.

I’d put down serious money that when you get home from work you tuck yourself into bed alone and dutch oven yourself.

Quite a list remaining....Smith, Wilson, Elie, Dea, Oglevie

You hearing anything Hommie? Any more closed door yelling? Nachos flying? Botts seems to be backing himself into a corner. Nachos to the left and right....

Hope it's Dea, like to see that kid get a shot

It seems we are using the Oilers very long term improvement program. I think we still have another 3 years or so.

This could be the case yet again.

Then next year, after a lot of roster turnover, the excuse will be, “they need a year to develop chemistry, and get to know each other.”

After that, they’ll need to think of some other excuse.

This. Give me fun competitive hockey to watch. Last night was not that. Show me progress forward. I saw that for a few games. Now it seems we are back to tire fire...

Sounds like Botts doesn’t think anything has to give. He likes the group they have. And don’t forget he’s extremely patient and very cautious. Let’s not rush into anything.

I think they’re both safe this year, and likely next year too.

if the play was good, effort was good perhaps

this slide should be giving both reason for concern
