With tonight's inevitable loss can anyone going to the game in person start a fire Tipp or we want woodcroft chant?

This seems very negative. The Oilers have beat some good teams this year and lost to a couple miserable ones. It's far from a foregone conclusion, especially with McDavid and Draisaitl in the lineup.
I'd love to see Tippett relieved, but short of the Lagesson thing turning in to a Babcock-type scandal, I don't see the Oilers as a team or Holland as a GM that's willing to pull the trigger on a coaching change while the team has a winning record. Kevin Lowe and Holland probably both run burner twitter accounts with which they post inane things like "you guys are going to complain about a team that's 16-7?" and "This management team clearly knows a thing or two about winning." They will stick with the status quo and as long as the team isn't another early easy out in the playoffs, they'll keep Tippett around. If we lose in the first round to a lesser team again? All bets may be off on him.
That's not to say he shouldn't be gone - he should be. His team is playing atrociously at even strength, and his upgraded bottom six looks worse than ever. Special teams has been good and he and his staff should get some credit for that, but the fact is that that's only 20% of the game. It also has significantly less of an impact come playoff time because the NHL is bush league and thinks that the best way to showcase the league at the point where the most eyes are watching is to turn it in to wrestling on skates. I also think that with McDavid and Draisaitl at this stage of their career are going to be good on the PP no matter who's the coach. They struggled a little with McLellan, but I think even with him now they'd be successful because they're too good to fail.
"Thinking that a bad team's best players are the reason the team is bad is the "Tambellini re-signing Lennart Petrell" of sports opinions." @Woodguy55
