They had Ed Balfour in the Stars booth for the game (I think he was just visiting) had them cue that assist up several times in a row. I hated him when he played but I thought the way he kept asking for the replay was kind of funny.

Oilers fans aren't happy.

If GMTM ###### this up. That's us in 5 years.

I don't think anyone can manage to ###### up like the Oiler's have. They provide a nice blueprint of "avoid doing this ######"

That is why we got alot of talent in rochester right now, while benoit and meszaros fill up the blue line.

Quick name EDM's top 3 defensive prospects. Now name Buffalo's.

 

Now you know why we aren't EDM. Thank you all for coming to my lecture, I hope you have a wonderful afternoon.

And this is why Edmonton drafting third this year makes so much sense.

And why we will all laugh when the pick the BPA forward at 3.

They will take Konecny at 3rd... nothing like small undersized fowards to fix Edmonton.

Edmonton just fired their Goaltending coach.

 

Edmonton Oilers

The #Oilers have relieved goaltender coach Frederic Chabot of his duties. Dustin Schwartz will replace Chabot in the role.

I was thinking the same thing. Yes, yes, goaltending is at the head of Edmonton's issues.

Problem solved.

There was a quaint saying about a leaky toilet in Altoona and water damage in Johnstown. It escapes me at the moment but I think it is appropriate here.

[bunomatic]

Problem solved.

 

Now MacT says he's looking for a top line centre. I thought it was D and goaltending and a veteran presence that was shortchanging them.

It's probably all 3

[LGR4GM]

It's probably all 3

It is definitely all 3. That is what happens when you spend multiple 1st round picks on literally the same player; Average size, high skill, no grit, defensive question marks. Doesn't really make your forwards well rounded. It puts more pressure on your defense which is an AHL defense to begin with. Then you have GT... :sick:

Everything wrong with the Oilers that reminds me of 2011 Buffalo

When veteran defenceman Michal Rozsival belted Edmonton’s latest 19-year-old star player into the boards dangerously from behind, the Edmonton response was to do nothing. To not care. Rozsival had Draisaitl’s back, why should they?

Draisaitl’s teammates basically told the rest of the league, “This is our youngest, most vulnerable player, but you can do to him whatever you wish with absolute impunity.” Leon Draisaitl, a 19-year-old kid from Germany being forced into NHL action because GM Craig MacTavish came up short at centre again this season, was left completely on his own.

[skaught]

Oh that's way worse than the 2011 Sabres, you should watch the Miller/Lucic thing again, compared to that Oilers hit, the Sabres had a huge response.

[Drunkard]

Yep. They are least did the token clutch and grab. You could tell Gaustad was ready to swing his purse at Lucic as well, but we didn't want to give up the power play.

 

On a serious note, that was a despicable response by Edmonton. They should trade Eberle for Berglund, Ott, and a defenseman.
