Yeah I think it was when they signed Belanger. They pulled up his stats on someones laptop, which was just point totals, FO%, plus-minus. It was pretty sad.

I'm sure they had to have had some scouts see him play, and they probably had some game notes on him. But if that was the extent of their statistical analysis to sign a guy for 3 years, oh boy.

Yeah, that was him! I wonder what sort of sh1t they do when they're not being filmed

You ain't enjoying wings until you drown your throat in beer and cry on the toilet 5 hours later.

Seriously though, if we have a shot at Ekblad and don't take him I'll (frank)ing lose it.

Unless they can line up a trade for a "top pairing defender" with Gagner and/or Yakupov/Eberle then ya, seems like Reinhart isn't the ideal despite how sick he is.

Also Someone needs to spend some time with Belov. He is not a bad player but his shot is so predictable that all a goalie has to do is go down and cover the center of the net. Not any corners because Belov shoots low and to the middle. He is a goalies dream.

- Hall Fan


That is actually a good thing. Problem is, the forwards, minus Smyth, are not trying to deflect that. Some players will tell you that's a Goalie's nightmare, not dream. In the Oilers case, yes, a goalies dream.

No, I'm sure there's plenty of grab ass being conducted in their offices as well.

Bottom line, whatever the (frank) they're doing they are getting zero results... They suck. I said it once, and I'll say it a million times... I could do better. I truly believe know I could.

Which is weird, because when they acquired Perron I seem to remember MacT commenting that the pro scouts, and specifically the advanced stats guys, had been hounding them to make that move for a while.

Maybe they've improved?

Could have been a difference from Tambo's group in 2011 to MacT's regime now, yes.

What's going on with Sam Gagner in the FO circle? Some nights he's great (72% against TO, 62% against PHI), and some nights he's horrible (9% against CHI).

5/8 games he's above 50%, but overall he's 45.3%. I ask him the question that I'll ask the rest of the team: Is this progress?

Being used against good players like Toews/Thornton and such destroy him, playing against weaker guys on the dot make him shine?
