Bozak, kulemin, fraser, lupul, we just got maclaren and obviuosly clarkson back

Right-right. No good. Annnd this is even more depressing for me as an Oiler fan as you guys are still 8-4.

Ah well, I suppose I could say you weren't missing a Kessel nearly every game but I'm not sure that flies.

Injuries are not an excuse - they are a (frank)ing cultured reality on the rigs.

Tides must turn.

We are really missing Kuli and to an extent Komarov, I loved that guy.
- Yeti1181

Me too, I thought he was excellent at what he did. Maybe next year he comes back to our 4th line. Depending on money.think we hold his rights. Kuli is very underappreciated as well. We can score the goals, but we are missing 2 of our better defensive forwards, our only true stay at home dman, and possible our biggest catalyst in lupul

Lot of poop talk, all we now is a 1-0 SO with 8 shots per team and 20 shooters in the SO with only one hitting the net.

So true. Covering for that D quite well.

Eastern media saying Eakins system has to be called out, and while that's true he's not responsible for the worst SV% in the league.

Agreed but I'm shock the media hasn't gone for the throat just over the donut thing.

Well yeah, I shouldn't say it's all they talked about in this particular show, they just posed the question and Dreger basically echoed that it's his team and he should be accountable. But yeah, the whole tone of the some the stuff I heard was the Oilers have made an absolute mess of the rebuild.

For what it's worth, half of Edmonton feels that way.

I know it's hard but this rebuild might take more then 5 years.

I didn't think they'd make the playoffs this year and perhaps they end up 3-5 points back when the dust settles.

There's still time for them to end up just outside of the playoffs this year, then we will be looking at this horrible start and saying that these points matter. For the record, I have been saying that since the beginning of the season.

C'mon boys listen to Eakins:

"You should take penalties to save a goal or inflict pain"

We all wanted to see this a little quicker against LA after the Clifford hit.
Seriously, someone get out there and throw an elbow up on Doughty/ Skill player and take the minor.

Well that is a risk of later supplemental discipline being contact to the head. Do what that old radio voice show here "the champ" did and head fake Doughty with a dozen kaizer rolls and when the ultramaroon goes for it, elbow him in the solar plexus and he will drop like a sack o taters.

EDIT: There's still elbowing calls that aren't suspendable. A slash works too. Roughing, a punch to the face
