I'm an Oiler fan through and through. But we should trade Conner for the good of, well it just would be for the good of everyone involved. Even us Oiler fans. This is beyond embarrassing and the legacy of the best player unfortunately is more important than Oiler fans feelings.
You can't be up 3-1 and lose. With Ken freaking Hitchcock as your coach that is an anomaly in badness. Even if you just park all 5 guys in front of the goal and stop even trying for offense.
You simply cannot let in the first shot every time and call yourself an NHL goaltender.
I hate to say it but this team should go to Houston. Seriously. Then slide the Coyotes back to the pacific. It would serve Katz and this city right. Let Rogers stand empty and let the breeze blow through it. Put homeless or refugees up in there or something.
The only other option is package Lucic with our first and second rounder and get him the hell outta here. Trade Larsson to regain the pick. If Muzzin gets you a first then Larsson would too. Start from scratch.
There is no way Kevin Lowe and MacT are to blame. Not even Katz. This is just beyond anybody's fault. This isn't even Cleveland Browns territory.
There is a palatable anti-Edmonton bias in this league. Nobody, Gordie Howe (R.I.P.), Bobbie Orr, Wayne Gretzky, Sidney Crosby, Conner McDavid nobody will change that. Bring on the AHL. We already cheer for a feeder team in a feeder league called the Eskimos. If you need to watch live pro hockey you could watch the new AHL team or the Oil Kings. If the NHL leaves town that doesn't mean hockey is over. Kids will still play street hockey. Winter will still happen and water will still freeze for kids to skate on. In the internet age you can follow any team anywhere if you gotta watch NHL.
Being held hostage by feelings for a special time and place in the 80's is asinine. Those days are over. It's time to move on. Nostalgia is not enough reason to continue to hope for a return to something that you can never return to. The Oilers will never be great again and I guarantee that if Lowe is fired tomorrow nothing changes. I mean does anyone wear head bands, neon spandex and hairspray their hair into an 80's poof anymore? No.
We have to let Connor move on I hate to say it.
This is simply not a major league city. When the oil industry goes just let us be and let us be like Saskatoon.

LOL!
I'm currently driving around downtown Edmonton, looking for you on the ledges of highrises.
DON'T JUMP!
2015/2016 - This Kool-Aid tastes like McDavid flavoured Drain-O.
2016/2017 - This Kool-Aid is starting to taste like juice.
2017/2018 - I'm drinking this Kool-Aid, in hopes that it's Drain-O.
2018/2019 - Another round of Drain-O, good sir!
