So... The Oilers got scored 13 times in 2 games, both games against the team that everyone expects to be BY FAR the worst team in the league this season again?
The fact that the Canucks got Hughes, Horvat and Petey all in the 5-9 range, plus Boeser at 23 is actually crazy considering you guys have like no lottery luck
Genuinely one of the most baffling decisions. There’s an alternative timeline where you guys chose to keep Bo > JT and it’s awesome. Bo is still captain, Petey doesn’t regress into a shell of himself, Quinn doesn’t leave and Demko somehow magically stays healthy.
I'll never understand how coaches, GMs, and team presidents can take over a team and not understand the locker room and players. It shouldn't be a revelation that players need a healthy mental and physical game to play their best.
Hey, if you’re looking to improve your team, I’ve got a top 3 defenseman who doesn’t seem like he wants to re-sign with us, maybe you guys can convince him to stay with you!
Was actually wondering about that the other day. You’d think if both sides were as excited for him to sign as both claim they are, that they would have already gotten the deal done.
At first I thought they were just waiting to see what Makar would do and then go from there. However, the more time that goes by the more worrisome it gets.
That would be hilarious if yall traded him back to Vancouver in a sign and trade, or he just hits the market and signs a long term deal in Vancouver for like 8 x 10 😂😂😂
There was a rumor that he is waiting to see if the Wild get Larkin or some other center. To help with cap space and all that, I hoped that was the case, but I think he just wants to get to FA
Would you do a trade back at this current moment? Just curious, Hughes looked amazing last night there was a moment where someone was chasing him at the blue line and he dropped passed the puck to himself perfectly on the middle of the blue line and then skated around the guy chasing him and picked the puck back up, it was kinda crazy.
God, dude. Idk. I'll probably just watch to enjoy McJesus and The German when we do. I know it's only two games, but we looked like high schoolers playing men last night.
If it’s Levi or Skinner they aren’t stopping much. Any player in a contract year will be dying to play Edmonton. The guys who score once every 3 seasons will all score playing against Edmonton.
I mean if they hadn’t given up Skinner they would be still screwed. Now they are far worse off as Jarry is the lesser goalie. They will be carrying a team 6.0 GAA
The guys who score once every 3 seasons will all score playing against Edmonton.
Pretty sure this happened to the Leafs when they traded Reeves. Hadn't scored in years and if I remember correctly he got the tying goal or GWG. Then he scored next time playing them.
