Well Oilfans, that was a rough game 7. Oilers just didn't have it, flips and rims, prayer passes as zone exits wasn't enough. Not enough to the net when thr had zone possession, lots of circling and pucks not getting through from the point. Curious strategy to me, get it to the net, something might get through or you clean up the garbage.
One PP the whole game. The standard changed tonight, or something.
One save on that 2nd GA could have been the difference, we don't know. Loading up once again didn't pan in the 3rd. Whatever.
It might as well have been the Flames the Oilers lost to, the way I'm feeling. Its so damn hard to get here, I feel for the fans under 38-40 who haven't seen a victory. Like my kids. They're crushed more than me.
On the other hand, the paper thin silver lining is that the Oilers showed us fans a lot in this season, these playoffs, this series. Hope we can get back again!

Kinda of the final insult of Holland's time here. two players he inherited just shattering records, both on for crazy amounts of chances and goal differential. McDavid with at least 1 guy on his wing that is super questionable to get anything done 5v5 on his line all the time while he does it. Just amazing performances driven by those guys all playoffs, that might not be matched for 2 decades+. And leads to an almost unprecedented losing team Conn Smythe for a skater, because our D depth and winger depth was too much to overcome in the end.
We can't forget why Florida got 4 chances to figure out how to close it. Multiple free goals for Florida in games 1 and 3 almost gift wrapped by lousy 2nd and 3rd D pairs. You just can't expect to always get over that stuff every time.
A terrible start to the year also burned us in the end. With all the team issues, we did no upgrades (none that had an impact until the 2nd round of playoffs), we just chose to ride with a coach that was very visibly clueless about how to coach a proper system. This season was right on the edge of total disaster before this new guy Jackson had to step in and force a coach change and pick the replacement.
Kane with his hernia injury all year, we couldn't at least turn that into cap space at the deadline like multiple cup winners did to put them over the top. Too lazy, or couldn't develop the needed relationship with the player to do it, whatever it was, not really excusable because it was an absolute layup. Didn't even have to fake an injury, he had it all year.
We need proper management, immediately. There is no way around it. This team should be challenging for the pres trophy every year. This game 7 should have been in Edmonton.

Holland was an overrated bum coming into the job, given that his greatest success as a GM came before the cap era when he had unlimited amounts of money to buy a Cup in Detroit. Seriously, is Stan Bowman available? That guy is a managerial genius who understands how to build teams that remain competitive while remaining within the constraints of cap space.
|
Wings fans are still pissed about Holland giving a banged up Derian Hatcher such a long contract just so he could play 20 games...and the dude got 20 mil to play a fourth of that season as he'd be bought out.
If I were to be fair though, Holland was a much better GM than say Pierre Lacroix of the Avs who basically retired once the cap was implemented....least the prior was able to help build a Wings team that won it all in 2008 under a hard cap.
The demise of Holland was the Wings media/fanbase egging him on to keep the playoff streak alive at all costs instead of rebuilding. Some might say him not handing the reigns over to Stevie Y in 2010 is to his fault but would the latter have had the guts to blow up that Wings roster? Probably not.
Many decisions to be made starting with the front office trickling downwards...
