What a garbage fire. Take a blowtorch to the whole thing starting at the top wop. There’s some decent pieces here but you have a pile of fat tits running the show. Fredo, Elmer and Travis all need to go.

A small, slow, soft rope-a-dope team with great goaltending?
They were that before JB did all that work this summer.

Hard to not pin most of this on the coaching.

Green, Baumgartner, King... mediocre at playing, worse at coaching.

We should have pulled the goalie to start the 3rd period.....we need the extra body against Edmonton to make them take a penalty.

1st PP of the game with 3 min to go.

LMAO! This team blows.

2 extra bodies and we still can't make the Oiler defenders actually move and they pressure the point.

Koskinen finally makes a real save.

Fire Green. Fire Green. Fire Green. Fire Green. Fire Green.

We are an offensive juggernaut

And yet Elmo was a genius for constructing this world beating roster. Eight years in and the team still sucks.

The way they are calling this and commentating you'd think Edmonton was holding off Tampa or Vegas or Colorado.

Yeah. The genius may have some chops when it comes to drafting, but it's not looking like he's got any kind of ability to put some actual moxie out on the ice. Our most aggressive player is 5'8" tall.

And the genius definitely is not so much that when it comes to hiring and firing coaches. If you believe in your roster and you continually get shit results and come out flat game after game, then you have to make a change behind the bench. Once again the worst team in the division, time to pull the plug and flush the coach now if you want even a hope of salvaging this mess this season.

So disappointing. Oilers, Sharks, Kings win and Flames looking like they will too. Canucks could be in last place in the division tomorrow at this time. I didn't expect this.

Brock gets his 100th. I would have rather seen him punch that Oiler in the head for shoving his stick down the ice. Show some growl. This teem needs more growl, grit, tenacity and most of all structure. This game was horrible.

Buy better sticks, Petey. You can afford them...!!

Mr Aquilini was assured when you trade your first round pick two years in a row and are aggressive in the offseason swinging deals and spending to the cap it wouldn't be this way. Damn it, it's not supposed to be like this!

The boss is bound to be in a bad mood tonight.

When Green was extended I was bracing for this but hoping for bounce back from a few guys.

When Petey and Hughes held out and missed training camp and pre-season I was concerned that hope had been erroneous.

After the season opener I fully expected what we see right now.
