Vancouver Off-Topic / Current EventsThe off-topic forum for Vancouver, funnies, non-auto centered discussions, WORK SAFE. While the rules are more relaxed here, there are still rules. Please refer to sticky thread in this forum.
Looks like the players stopped playing for each other, not just for woodcraft. They need some fresh blood in the FO and the locker room to shake up the culture.
McDavid definitely has an injury. He still has his hands but without his speed he looks like an average first liner...
Oilers have a habit of just recycling garbage at important positions ie. coaching and Goaltending lol
On 32 thoughts yesterday there was some crazy stat that if your back by like 10 points by American thanksgiving, last year not 1 team in that position made the playoffs, and previous 10 years it was like 4 teams total lol
RIP

Fuck those interviewers are all assholes... I mean don't get me wrong, I'm somewhat enjoying Edmonton falling on their faces here but Draisaitl doesn't deserve to sit there and literally be attacked like that.
How he keeps his composure at all is a miracle. That 3 minute interview felt like 30.
I told a buddy of mine after the Canucks 8-1 beatdown of the Oilers for their first win of the season, pick Boeser for his hockey pool team. Brock was on waivers and available at that time in buddy's hockey pool.
He's gonna have a much better season compared to the past couple of seasons. -heard news reports that Brock started his offseason training earlier compared to the last couple of years.
as someone who only started keeping up with hockey this year, i'm looking at last years standings and now seeing why it's such a big deal how bad the oilers are. they were actually one of the better teams last year, same with the flames. what a bad start for alberta teams.

I think they added that the chances of those bottom dwelling teams making the playoffs is about 10-15%. Oilers could possibly make a comeback here but it's going to be incredibly difficult. Hard to believe they're off to a worse start than we were last year.
On another note, I actually don't think this is Woodcroft's fault. He's just the easiest target for immediate change. I mean, unless Holland actually gets canned first, I don't see how else they shake things up without a drastic change to the roster. That in itself is a huge issue as most teams are right at the cap and rival teams with cap space aren't exactly inclined to bail the Oilers out here.
^ strange, if it is not Woodcroft, then the roster is almost exactly the same as last year. Some underperforming players are probably one of the main reasons ... their goalie position sux, and some top end players just not producing (McDavid not withstanding because of injury).
I don't see how firing Holland will improve the team on the ice. Although he maybe should be fired for basically staying put from last year's roster and never been able to upgrade the goalie position ... but he tried with Campbell. Goalies are such a crap shoot.
I saw that too and immediately Donnie's argument was that we don't need another left shot D (which is true). If anything, Tanev would make more sense as someone who has proven chemistry with Hughes and can also still play top 4 minutes in a shutdown role.
Who knows though, I'm sure Zadorov is not the only player who wants out of Calgary. There could be a deal to be had with multiple players.
Reminders:
1. Game is at 4pm today
2. Shorty and Cheech will be covering the BOS vs MTL game if you wanna hear them together (also 4pm)
Cuthbert is fine, he has that iconic Canadian sports broadcaster voice. My only thing is his Canadian accent is soooo thick it makes me laugh sometimes. "Ooylers doomp it oot!"
Why are they showing BOS/MTL and not TOR/VAN on the main CBC channel?
Surprised since it's both Canadian teams and it's Toronto.

Tyler Myers obvious cross check lol. I guess less embarassing than getting pylon'd as he was the last guy back with a Leaf player bearing down on him.
