Re: OOTS 2018-2019
The Oilers are a disaster. McJesus the human highlight reel, isn’t a winner, just a stat man
Puljiarvi - shouldn’t have been drafted in the top 10
Draisaitl - part of the terrible top 6 - Ekblad, Reinhart, Draisaitl, Bennett, Dal Colle, Virtanen
RNH - see Puljiarvi
Larsson for Hall - ouch
Strome for Eberle - see Larsson for Hall
Yakupov 1st overall - big ouch
Nurse - meathead
Klefbom - the great klefbom, NOT
Griffin Reinhart for Matthew Barzal - ouch
Talbot - not a no. 1 goalie
Lucic UFA - yikes
And so on

Re: OOTS 2018-2019
I agree RD. If you look at McDoofus's advanced stats his 5-on-5 numbers aren't great. The Coilers control almost 60% of puck possession with him on the ice, but his OZone vs DZone starts are pretty lopsided, and his PPTOI is insane.
All Deadmonton has ever done in the past 15 years is try to load up on high flying offensive talent up front, go figure that the mindset in all of their homegrown players doesn't really factor in play below their own blueline. You can't neglect the defensive side of the game that much in your build without this kind of thing happening.
I'd say that until McDavid learns to play the game the way Crosby does, being as tenacious on the back-check and in his own zone as he is on the attack, the Oilers will flounder. Connor has to lead the charge, clearly management can't and nobody in Edmonton wants to listen to the coach, no matter who he is.
Re: OOTS 2018-2019
The Oilers remind me of the days that Calgary had Iggy in his prime. They just couldn't seem to surround him with any first line talent. The Oilers have to hope guys like pool party and Hell-no-moto develop into first line players.

7-0 Pens after 2 periods.
Guess Tkachuk's callout didn't help.

Always high expectations in Calgary, though I'm not sure why.

Jesse Puljiarvi, 20 years old, already looking like (yet) another HUGE Edmonton 1st round bust.

Re: OOTS 2018-2019
I don't know what others think - I guess there are people that want them gone. I think it's too early for Peters. Treliving - well, he built this team, so he has to be responsible. I think it's way too early yet. See where they are at in another month.Strangelove wrote: ↑Fri Oct 26, 2018 1:47 pmHow do the fans over there feel these days about Treliving... and Peters?BCExpat wrote: ↑Fri Oct 26, 2018 10:43 amVery embarassing loss.

Re: OOTS 2018-2019
Every team has their bad trades, bad draft picks, bad signings but the Oilers they take the cake in all categories.

Re: OOTS 2018-2019
Tough break for the Jets. Domination for most of the game and Toronto scores on a couple of bounces and seeing eye pucks in the 3rd to take it 3-2.

Malkin got ejected for that hit and then Oshie came back from the quiet room to score the game-winner.
