Ryan Garner: Canucks Work Oilers Like a Yo-Yo

Any thoughts?

, id wait atlas till the 41 game mark. If CGY's goalies are able to keep posting numbers like this, ill agree they are. They defensive system is allowing mainly low quality shots. But if it decreases significantly, the flames are plummeting.

The Flames are building from the back end out. Unlike the oilers who tried building from the forwards back. Calgary and all other franchises (buffalo and what not) are gonna do exactly opposite of this inept management and make the playoffs before us.

Eakin's was right. defense wins championships. Only issue, we have ZERO, and we clearly don't have a system that gets the most out of the defenders we do that.

mcdavid!

You know, their losing ways have finally caught up to me, today I was NOT excited to watch the game as the result was predictable. It's clear they won't do anything meaningful to change the losing culture, not a trade or firing in sight to at least show they care, I'm starting to think they want a shot at McDavid. I'm gonna start watching women's volleyball during Oil games, way more entertaining and I'm actually cheering for BOTH SIDES!!!!!! Not gonna be disappointed

Ebs, 2nd/3rd and 4th this year for OEL?
If not what will it take to get him out of ARZ? Minus this years 1st rounder obviously

I was listening to the pre - game show in Vancouver, they weren't even talking about the game against the Oil as if it was a guaranteed win. They were talking about the following game against Anaheim!

No respect but it's hard to argue with it.

Seriously how do you expect any respect for the oilers from anyone considering all the no. 1 picks, top five picks and Calgary turns things around in a couple of d seasons with just a couple of top five picks?

It's pretty late where is, hasn't gotten off work yet. Ever since he moved East of Winnipeg to Orenburg to shack up with me the Newf has been off the wall.

Great blog, just more light being shed on how badly this team sucks.

You won't get OEL - PERIOD!! And if the Yotes were ever going to move him this year, it would only START with the 1st round pick.

You will pay a premium for a top 3 d-man let alone OEL.

Yeah. You are way too butthurt by this article and how you have interpreted it. How many other threads have you posted this in seeking attention? Will you be able to sleep tonight?

Just wanted to give everyone a chance to see how ridiculous Spector can be. He's another example of a bandwagoning douchebag. I thought y'all would get a kick out of his proclamation that Calgary is 20 games into a rebuild. Other than that Rutts you are bang on baby.

Morning mother(frank)ers..... Ban is finally over!

I'm going to forever laugh at the Oilers when they poop the bed all year and get the 1st overall pick... and then decide this is the year they're going to trade down.

MacDavid will help the team win. The Oilers franchise decided years ago that they didn't want to win when they traded Gretzky.

and then they won a Stanley Cup after they traded him...

MacT wanted to make bold moves but let's face it, he has no balls at all.

If he did, that bold move would have happened the first 6 months on the job.

He has said repeatedly how the defense needs to improve, how the Oilers need a top pairing blueliner yet he continues to shutdown any trade involving Ebs, Yak, Hall or RNH.

Make a bold move, offer up Ebs & the 1st in 2015 to land a guy like OEL & a pick or something along those lines - that's being bold & that's what it's going to take to acquire a top defenceman in the league. Teams knows this & the price is very high on these type players & it should be because defense wins championships!!

And if he's scared to offer up the 1st this year, then it just proves MacT has already caved in & realized it's another losing year!!

Did Dreger tell you that MacT hasn't tried to make moves? Ask Dreger if perhaps the problem is, the pieces the Oilers need aren't available or maybe in the pieces that are available have NMC that won't waive to come to Edmonton.
