It’s fine. I don’t know why you’re all acting as though the sky is falling. We’re 3 points out of the playoffs.

This league is broken. How is this possible that we're still 3 points out?? 2 games under bettman .500

It’s such a joke. But the argument will be ‘it keeps it entertaining for the fans seeing tighter playoff races’.
It’s not fine. My first post was tongue in cheek.
Imagine, these clowns play some third period hockey the last 3 games and were 1 point up on the WC group. Such a joke.

... fire Hitch?
Like holy crap. What a joke of a team. It hurts me to say this about a team with the best player in the league... but holy smokes.

Who do we like at #4,5 or 6 in the draft? Bowen Byram? Kirby Dach?

Todd Mclellan is probably feeling pretty vindicated right about now. I feel sorry for Hitch. I think he really believed he could make this mess work and start winning again. Putting Lucic on McDavids wing is a big mistake though on his part. It's like playing with a handicap. Our only real hope playing with a handicap! What can you say? This team is crap!

But Lucic is on the cusp of getting out of this funk!! The experts says so!

You joke but Eakins went to the Cowboys training camp for, uh, I’m not actually sure why. It worked though, he had a very successful second season in Edmonton.

That’s right!! I forgot all about that. But I mean... what have the cowboys done? Also, is Jerry that much different than Katz?

Back then I wondered how much of an ass Eakins made of himself that day.
I’m seeing visions of Trudeau in Indian garb.

So, I think it’s time for the fire sale. Then, we can only hope that either Katz or his heir finally take the time for the long-needed pus draining needed to allow the wounds created by the OBC to start healing.

I question the value of what the Oilers could sell. Like how many players do the Oilers have that could play on a playoff team? 5? 7?

Ooh, fun game.
1. McDavid
2. Draisaitl
3. Nugent-Hopkins
4. Klefbom
5. Larsson
6. Nurse
Russell? Kassian? Chiasson? Benning? Khaira? Do any of those guys make it?

I’d argue Lucic would be the 7th. Let’s face it. He’s built for playoff hockey.

Sportsnet usually has some of the postgame scrums... I’m hoping to catch Hitch’s comments.

Same as the rest of this team I guess. That was a massive f-up by the skaters for that 2-2 goal, creating a 2 on 0 basically right in front of Talbot. And the entire group just collapsed after that. Ran scared for their mommies.

Yes that’s true - they all quit today. This would honestly be a good moment for a leader to separate the wheat from the chaff because it was so obvious who quit.

Eh. It looked slowed down. Who knows, maybe someone was telling him the post game meal was at Lux. Context matters. It’s not like he used his stick like a shot gun and pointed it at the owner’s box.

There is a chance I am in Edmonton for work near the end of the season.
The way things are going I should be able to get a ticket for what, $15?
If the results are like tonight I am too cheap to toss my McDavid or Messier jersey on the ice. I might buy a Bobby Nicks Burger and save it for the third. You can bet that mofo will be sliding across the ice.
If I aim for the net there is a solid chance it goes in...

I watched the game. I wish I hadn’t.
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!

Now if you threw it at the opening whistle, it 70% goes it. But if you wait till the 3rd your chances likely increase to 90%.

You wouldn't get my ticket for that price. You pay what I pay or I watch the ticket burn.

Seem like sunk cost fallacy.
During the peak Eakins era I got tickets for $8.50 US, but that was in the old building. Tickets for the Arizona game on the 19th are already down to 27. $15 might be tough, but I think $20 CAD is doable.

Predictions on the cheapest game of the year? I've got New Jersey on Wednesday March 13th or Columbus on Thursday March 21st. Weekday games against meh teams at a point when the playoffs won't be even a faint dream any more...not even the return of Taylor Hall will get people excited to come out...

Seem like sunk cost fallacy.
During the peak Eakins era I got tickets for $8.50 US, but that was in the old building. Tickets for the Arizona game on the 19th are already down to 27. $15 might be tough, but I think $20 CAD is doable.

Mid-January, before the wheels fell entirely off, upper bowl tickets were between $30-$40 resale on Ticketmaster. I got the Buffalo game for $35 all in, fees and everything.
I haven't had much desire to go to a game the past few weeks, so I haven't looked. It wouldn't surprise me if it is $25-$30.
Seems to be the true market value of the Oilers tickets. I fully understand why season ticket holders list as they do and don't want to sell or take a loss, but I just don't think the demand for Oilers tickets is strong these days. They are probably worth less than what season ticket holders paid, and are certainly worth less than the face value Ticketmaster sold them for at the beginning of the year.

There is a chance I am in Edmonton for work near the end of the season.
The way things are going I should be able to get a ticket for what, $15?
If the results are like tonight I am too cheap to toss my McDavid or Messier jersey on the ice. I might buy a Bobby Nicks Burger and save it for the third. You can bet that mofo will be sliding across the ice.
If I aim for the net there is a solid chance it goes in...

You wouldn't get my ticket for that price. You pay what I pay or I watch the ticket burn.

Mid-week, late season, out of the playoffs games should be worth way less than the price a season ticket holder pays for them. The real value to season ticket holders are the 10-12 super-premium games a year that have FAR MORE value than a season ticket holder pays for them. Plus the guarantee of playoff tickets (cue Jim Mora Sr.) is also a premium that is included in season tickets.

I bet McDavid is wishing he would have signed a 5yr deal. What the hell is wrong with this organization!
Shoot the puck!!
