Ballsy call from the official giving McDavid two minutes for embellishment at home.
Please do not feed the bears. Feeding the bears creates a dependent population unable to survive on their own. Bears.

2.1 and/or who to blame for the goal
3. Stare forward, say nothing
Coaching done until next goal

Like I said in the pre game, This game will show the character of the team. Not much. PC came to this team he had no puck moving defensemen no starting goalie. Got gifted to him best player in the league. Lets the whole world know he is desperate for a RH defenceman and trades one of the best wingers in the league for a stay at home defenceman that he was hoping would be a late bloomer like Hedman. We all know the other great moves to follow. He now has no wingers, no puck moving defenceman and no starting goalie but no cap space. Has Mcdavid and is wasting him. Hopefully the coach and PC are gone by the end of the year at the latest, Doesn't seem to be any heart or pride in this team.

Fixed that for you. Waiting until the end of season is basically like writing off the year already.

The way this franchise is run I thought it was wishful thinking to hope for end of the year. Won't get rid of Todd until they are out of the playoffs and even then I don't know. Hoping I'm wrong on that. Lets just hope Peter doesn't get desperate and pull off another blockbuster as we know how those work out for him

Talbot now the back up. Seen enough, two season's he's stunk. He's sport'n a stellar 0.77 save % tonight.
I've seen enough of Spooner, Strome wasn't on the ice for a single goal, for, or against. Spooner has played 2 games and he's -4.
Benning is useless. Drop this fraud, please.
Sorry Toddy, but you've had 4 years ... What's that Todd? .. Yeah I know... don't worry Chiarelli will be right behind you.
McDAVID! Oh YEAH Baby!!
Tic-Tac-Tao!
Keep on Rockin' in the Free World
P. Chiarelli math.. T. Hall = A. Larsson, Yak= bag o'pucks (OK he got one right...) K. Russell = $4.1 M+NMC, G. Reinhart= M. Barzal + A. Beauvillier, J. Eberle = R. Spooner,

He wouldn't. Period. That was back-hand, forehand by 39, Lucic only has forehand .. and that was 10 years ago.

Yeah. I'll be generous and put the play on the other side of the net. Still probably takes him 900 tries, and the one that goes in is probably him shafting his whack at the puck and it lobs over top of the goalie and bounces off the goalies back and goes in.

Don’t know why I bother, keep thinking things will change, and they never do. Frustrating when you have a player of Mcdavids caliber, and the team seems to stay so mediocre.

I really don’t blame Chia for Talbot sucking.
I do blame him, for picking up a gamble of a back up.
Luckily, it paid off, but for how long?

Team is toxic right now. Talbot's sav% is worse than Dubnyk's when MacT scapegoated him for a lost season. And I bet Talbot ends up doing just fine somewhere else if we trade him for a cap dump the same way. You stick around on this team long enough, every mistake you make feels like death. Talbot and the team in front of him look completely deflated any time something goes wrong. And all our coach does it tell them they need to make less mistakes and play even more scared. Koskinen gets enough starts, he will fall down that hole with the rest of the group.

I’m a big time Larsson fan... huge Larsson fan. The man and hockey player. But there should should have been at the very least 1 other piece included in that deal, draft pick or player.

The Oilers trade/walk away for nothing team looks like a pretty good team to build around.
Hall-Barzal-Eberle
Maroon-xxxx-Perron
xxxx-xxxx-Pitlick
xxxx-Petry
xxxx-Schultz
Oesterle-xxxx
Dubnyk
Lot's of useful pieces. What the hell do we have from that?

Anyone who's actually still arguing that the Oilers didn't get destroyed in that trade is drinking far too much Oilers kool-aid. That was as lopsided a deal as you'll find.
Shero ate Chiarelli's lunch there. It would have been lopsided if we'd gotten a first round pick along with Larsson. As a one-for-one? It's robbery. One of the worst trades of the last decade in the NHL.
I did see Matheson hilariously suggest that we could trade Larsson for Nylander today...can you imagine that?!?

Yes I could. He's shown he's wil\lling to trade the players he got from bad trades despite the optics, so why not trade Larsson? The Oilers do need a lot of help on the wings.

Technically wasn't it Hall for Larsson which opened up a slot on the top line for Lucic? And room to sign him? Not like that's making the argument any better. It's funny to think that the next goal Lucic ever scores may be while he's playing on the team we trade him to, while playing us for a playoff spot, and his goals wins them the game...Cause it's so Oilers!

Chiarelli should have been fired last summer.
