The oil are hot garbage. How long before they blame coaching ?

How long before they blame coaching ? Actually I am surprised this season at the Oilers fall from earlier this season. Draisaitl has 54 PTS in 35 GP to lead the league, McDavid has 53 PTS in 34 GP. So lots of scoring on the top line. I guess it goes to show it's not a simple solution to build a winning team and having the top scorer (or two) and top player (or two) in the league isn't enough. They have a few strange contracts on their team though and I would guess not enough depth to help. Yes I think coaching will be on the hot seat. Similar to the Sabres with Eichel, McDavid won't be patient waiting for the team to win. That will be a massive trade if it comes down to that in the offseason. 1

The Sabres have better goalies than the Coilers. Love to see them struggle and hope they don't make the playoffs. 2

All they have is one off quips that hold no weight in the long term. Sam is doing what Sam has done for years now. Produce. Quietly just produce. Sabres could certainly use a passer like him this season. Totally. It’s why I’ll keep mentioning that Adams could have kept him. I like Levi the prospect as much as anyone but we are a long ways away from me being able to say we came out on the winning end of that deal. Anyway, good for Sam, always enjoyed what he brought to the team. Scored a hat trick in the first live Sabres win I saw 4

This boggles my mind. They were us before we were us and they still haven't put it together. The clock has to be ticking inside McDavid's mind.

McDavid demands a trade close to home to the team he thought he was going to in the draft.😛🤣 I wonder where McDavid would go if he ends up having enough of that mess.

Huckleberry Posted January 17, 2022 Report Posted January 17, 2022 (edited) Watch the flyers only get a 2nd rounder for Risto at the trade deadline 😛 Edited January 17, 2022 by Huckleberry 2
PerreaultForever Posted January 18, 2022 Report Posted January 18, 2022 Pity we didn't value this RHD, just what we need. Sabres are dumb.

We really need that instilled in this team. 2
