  1. It’s only a matter of time before Paul Coffey’s coaching expertise and experience starts to pay off. Oh wait …

  2. Is there a live gameday blog anywhere for Oilers fans like they used to have on their home site? Kris the Forecheck focused on extended pursuits beyond normal length and focus…this was a key part of the Panthers System coming in to the game and Pauls Pre-Game Plan should have had that underlined because it dictated a lot of what you ended up doing in all 3 zones . Its easy to deconstruct the Panthers System or any System and in todays NHL its a must-do. Where do we go to help you online these days?

  3. The media (Spector) and this incompetent management staff are going to drive 97 out of town. I can see it from a mile away. They’ve overplayed their hand trying to accommodate him and it’s blew up in their faces. And dealing with that clown 🤡 Spector everyday would drive anyone to drink. I wouldn’t be surprised if he asks for a trade the minute the seasons over just like Pronger did in 06’. There’s a reason tonnes of guys have Edmonton on their NTL’s. And it ain’t just the weather n city. It’s the incompetence

  4. Penalties taking momentum? They can't keep using excuses . The entire system is hot lunch . Defense Bouchard is to blame for several goals. Goal tending weak.

  5. Inept mgmt decisions have got this team spiralling down a worm hole they might not recover from. I thought Jeff Jackson might have been a good hiring, but firing Woodcroft and putting Coffey on the bench? Un f’ng believable. Now watch them mortgage their remaining future to get another meh goalie and get rid of Campbells contract.

  6. Good job Oilers management… You completely screwed over our team this year, with knee-jerk reactions, and now the decade of darkness part 2 can start in earnest… Once we lose McD and Drai, among other aging players and expiring contracts, we're funked for a good long while, if not indefinitely.

  7. Let’s bring in Glen Anderson and Mark Messier to fill out the coaching staff with all their vast coaching experience. F’ng old boys club mentality in this organization makes me want to puke.

  8. Not just confidence is lacking. They're lacking patience and discipline. I get that the players feel they need to win. It's the reason they feel they need to force plays when they are down goals. It's the reason they get deflated when they get scored on. If and when they buy into Knoblauch's systems, they will become that team that can shut it down defensively. They just gotta stop putting so much pressure on themselves to win.

  9. Silver linings: McDavid is 🔥 again, and Pickard is a decent goalie. Bad news: you already know.

  10. Holland’s to busy kissing Connor’s *ss, rather than bolstering Edmonton’s obvious defensive/goaltending issues…ownership’s likely behind some of this, knowing Connor will likely want O U T ‼️

    40+ years as an Oiler fan, behind this realistic statement…dropping my fanboy dreams when #99 was traded, eons ago.

  11. These guys do not even seem like family anymore. Woodcroft kept them tight through it all. This team will throw the towel in soon?

  12. This team needs to seriously overhaul the defensively pairings. Send down some guys, call up ssome guys. JUST DO SOMETHING!

  13. At 5-11, the season is over. Just like Vegas a couple seasons ago. Sometimes good teams just have off years.

  14. fire JJ. WHY THE Fxxx would u hire an agent to be the boss…. jj hired a ahl coach to replace another one. what is the change.the d still sucks and goalie still sucks.. by the way why do we still have the same goalie coach…. . fire him….
