  1. Look. After every loss everyone in the organization speaks in baby pablum talk. Yes, they all say, we need to clean up the mistakes. Hang together. Stay the course. Well I am sick of this sanitized ##%*. Itā€™s been YEARS of ā€˜clean up the mistakesā€™. In my opinion no one in the organization holds anyone accountable.

    The defence is awful. Every analyst, from 630 Ched to TSN, says so. Who leads the D? Nurse at $9m. And Campbell has been inconsistent, at $5m. For those dollars they can afford a pablum publicist.

    In my opinion, trade Nurse and just cut Campbell. Go with Skinner and a couple of tough D. Forget the BS of trading the little guys. They donā€™t even get enough ice time to show what they can do.

  2. Woodcroft should go. He's naive, doesn't adapt and inherited a pretty good situation that people say he's the reason it worked out. The message extends to how they play, and rn they have a lot of denial that it'll work out, but they aren't making changes, adjustments which is what good teams do.

  3. You never mentioned the truth of whatā€™s really going to happen, and thatā€™s the 2 players youā€™ll cry about when they ask for a trade. Except nobody will want Leon so youā€™re stuck with him and Connor will walk and itā€™ll prove my point that Leon is useless with McDavid.

  4. Itā€™s all or nothing time. We need a goalie and a top 4 RD upgrade on Ceci. Pay to unload Campbell and use the cap of D. Trade our 1st this year and next and Bourgault or Holloway. If we canā€™t go for it with Draisaitl and McDavid whatā€™s the point in not blowing it all up.

  5. I think a new goalie coach will do this team lots of good. Itā€™s just time for change, Dustin Schwartz has to go.

  6. Just a SHOCKING start. Something needs to happen. What that is, I have no earthly idea.

  7. If they fire Woody Iā€™m gonna be on my last straw with this team and thatā€™s saying something considering Iā€™ve been a fan since 92 and have seen some of worst times this franchise has seen and Iā€™ve stuck with it

  8. They need to get super disciplined real fast, especially around defense, obviously. No more stupid penalties.

  9. I think a goalie coach replacement is definitely something to look at. maybe the new one can find new ways to inspire our two goalies. also think we need some changes in the bottom 6. gagner was a good change in my opinion. but we need some defense and some fresh energy in the bottom 6 along with gagner. 1 maybe 2 players and one or 2 defensive changes.

  10. If Dustin Schwartz isnā€™t gone by the end the season, theyā€™ve made a mistake. The goaltending is such a mess. Stuart has potential but isnā€™t ready to be a starter, and Jack Campbellā€™s time has passed. They need to get a good, solid, consistent goaltender, and make Skinner a backup. Campbell just isnā€™t the goaltender they need, and honestly, I donā€™t think he ever was.

  11. Quenneville used almost the exact same System in Chicago to win his Cups as the Oilers are trying to use today, it is called an NHS-Adjusted-Hybrid. He could walk in not miss a beat and be an instant Playoff upgrade , I might throw the Farm down in Vegas if Joel showed up sooner than later.

  12. I usually donā€™t comment but Iā€™m gunna say ceci needs to go, the last year he hasnā€™t even close to second line D and send Holloway to Bakersfield, give another strong D from there a chance to impress, and Iā€™d also be sending Campbell and skinner down each at different times for conditioning , Iā€™d also say signing Bouchard to that 3.9-4 million deal was a terrible idea, if I was holland i would have said 2-3 years back to back of stellar play then you get that type of a deal, cause letting Kostin, bjugstad go to sign Bouchard has shot them in the foot pretty hard!!

  13. Even with all this misery, I'm still excited to watch the next game. Pain of being a lifer as an Oilers fan.

  14. I would dump brown before his 10th game; trade bouch for a real dman, and think about moving Leon. There wonā€™t be enough money for him anyways , so start thinking about it.
