No doubt about it. That game Saturday night was an absolute stinker from the Oilers. I'm going to look like a naive hick trying to draw some positives from that fiasco, but that never stopped me before.

Never surrender, boys. Never surrender.



Sadly lost my resolve on Saturday, after waiting 10 days for a game, it was super bummer, I'm back on board! .. OK .. might still be draggin' one toe on the ground.. :)

I'll note Sir Winston didn't say anything about fighting on the ice. The ice they can have.

All that practice and systems work, they score 4 but give up 5 in the 3rd including an EN. I can't see where this group is anywhere close.

Epic collapse, and the tragedy continues to unfold.

Kenny Holland needs to get to work. Plan A isn't working, and he's got some moves that need to be made.

Be afraid then. Be very afraid.

Was listening to Bruce McCurdy on Lowetide's show last Wednesday. He spoke of secondary scoring by the Oilers when Draisaitl and or McDavid are not on the ice. (McCurdy is one of the old school journalists I like to pay attention to. Don't know why he hangs out with dinosaurs like Staples and Lowetide.)

Anyways, McCurdy pointed out that the Oilers when McDavid and Draisaitl were not on the ice at 5 on 5 were 41% in Ciarelli's last season as GM. They were 38% in Holland's first season as GM, 36 % in his second season, and 33% in the third season. I would attribute some of this to Draisaitl and McDavid being better and better as the years go by, but that should apply to the guys Holland is bringing in too.

Meh it’s fine guys, we’re overreacting!

*Looks at upcoming 10 game schedule*

faint

Panthers x2, Lightning, Hurricanes, Caps, Preds... a flames team that lets be honest, is gonna physically (and likely mentally) dominate this team, a Canucks team that has been substantially better since the firings, these same Sens that just embarrassed you and the Habs (who you’ll find a way to lose to...)

0-10 coming up!

Apparently media are in waiting mode... Connor left podium and it’s a bit of a delay for Kassian getting up there. Sounds like a meetings occurring.

Jim Matheson @jimmathesonnhl
A six week run with six out if possible 28 points is not a blip on screen. Oilers are easy to play against physically and we have said that for how long? No other way to say it: loss to Sens is a massive choke up 3-1



Matty concludes there is not enough toughness on this team. Time to move some skill out for more toughness I guess.

Tippett today feeds the media a quote about work ethic - suggests as an example that players are getting in the lane to block shots, but not really in the lane.

See, it's not really his fault at all - just these players who think or pretend they're working hard when they aren't.

Rishaug and Spector both with multiple tweets in support of this.

At least he's not just piling on the goalie again I guess.

Just need more of those blocked shots. Any more Russell's out there we can trade for?

He's right though, not a lot of those point shots ever get blocked, I've noticed it, especially noticeable when you compare it to how many Oiler shots get blocked in the same game.
I don't want McD, LD, blocking shots but everyone else should be cannon fodder.

We could also try to not stop playing every time we get a lead. One of the lamest teams in the league with a 1 goal lead. Although we just suck 5v5 in general. 29th in the league GF% 5v5 with a lead though. Terrible.

Next team coming to town is the best with a lead. They never stop the attack. Wonder how it will go.

Yeah, Tippett's always been a fan of calling off the dogs. Get up by a couple goals and then just try not to lose for the rest of the game. If isn't a great strategy...I think that's probably more the problem than people not blocking enough shots or only THINKING that they're working hard enough.

That only works if you have a stacked blueline of shutdown guys and a top end goalie.

The fact Tippett thinks he can do that with the current roster says alot about his ability to adjust based on what he has to work with.

He's right though, not a lot of those point shots ever get blocked, I've noticed it, especially noticeable when you compare it to how many Oiler shots get blocked in the same game.
I don't want McD, LD, blocking shots but everyone else should be cannon fodder.


We could also try to not stop playing every time we get a lead. One of the lamest teams in the league with a 1 goal lead. Although we just suck 5v5 in general. 29th in the league GF% 5v5 with a lead though. Terrible.

Next team coming to town is the best with a lead. They never stop the attack. Wonder how it will go.


Yeah, Tippett's always been a fan of calling off the dogs. Get up by a couple goals and then just try not to lose for the rest of the game. If isn't a great strategy...I think that's probably more the problem than people not blocking enough shots or only THINKING that they're working hard enough.


That only works if you have a stacked blueline of shutdown guys and a top end goalie.

The fact Tippett thinks he can do that with the current roster says alot about his ability to adjust based on what he has to work with.


One day Smith will go full 2011-2012. Just need patience.

I think that day was last season.


Still waiting for it in playoffs though. It'll come. If not this year we still can try again next season.

Tippett today feeds the media a quote about work ethic - suggests as an example that players are getting in the lane to block shots, but not really in the lane.

See, it's not really his fault at all - just these players who think or pretend they're working hard when they aren't.

Rishaug and Spector both with multiple tweets in support of this.

At least he's not just piling on the goalie again I guess.

My guess is if the Fla game gets to a 3 goal deficit, it might just get to 6 or 7. At some point the hand probably gets forced by the players if they think the coach is out of answers. It's not all the coach, it's personnel provided by the GM, and there's some player onus as well. Clearly the coach is the first domino to fall, you would think.....it always goes that way. Or, status quo? confused2

I see the Oilers put Willy Lagesson on waivers. I guess we'll see if anybody sees more in him than Tippett.

Sadly, the Oilers made the move in order to activate Kris Russell. However, he'll likely just be on the taxi squad.

Laggy is in taxi squad. Russell is playing tomorrow night... maybe he’ll be able to block that first shot and help out Koski

Also, it's just as likely that Russell kicks the first one in our own net. Remember - this is a guy who outscored the entire depth forwards group of the Oilers with his own goals in the Chicago series...

That’s more of a slight on Olympians Patrick Russell and Gaetan Haas 😉

With all the negativity generated from the last game, here is a refreshing interview from B. Perlini.
A pulse of positivity to put things into perspective.

The guy has a great attitude.

But.. he could still finish a check once in a while!
