Ryan Smyth leads all Oiler forwards with 6:33 TOI. Anyone else find that strange?

Strange? No. Retarded? Very much so.

Eakins is just dumb.

Lazy garbage tip-in attempt by Smyth then doesn't give a (frank) enough to chase the puck. How about you just take the pass and carry it in, eh?

bench him for rest of season.

you know and some Hockey people said Oilers don't have a player big enough to stand in front of net while in a PP so I guess JJ must be the size of gagner

I put in more effort having bowel movements than most Oilers do playing in the (frank)ing NHL. It's criminal that these guys get paid millions to do what they do.

Eakins doesn't have a clue what he's doing... He's (frank)ing clueless.

Wait for his post game interview again... The same (frank)ing thing regurgitated over and over... ZzZZZzZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz

Strange? No. Retarded? Very much so.

I would agree with you but I don't like using that word. How about we say it's (frank)tarded?

Is not just the Players to me Eakins can't motivate this guys at all,you can have all the good players you want but when there's not system in place or a system that works then team will always look lost the way the Oilers do but I can bet anything that if Krueger was the coach right now this team have a better record.

Apologies if I offended you with the use of that term, but I'm just not someone to censor himself. How about "dumb as a brick"?

Smyth is in a contract year. Due for a big raise

mclean hit the nail on the head there... the oilers don;t need to do more... the oilers need to do less better

No worries here, "dumb as (frank)" works too.

Put him down.

Eakins and the players suck... Eakins is clueless, and the players put in very little effort. They shouldn't need anyone to motivate them. They play hockey for 10-20 minutes a game and they're all millionaires... If that's not enough motivation to put in a little effort, these guys belong in the mental hospital, because they're insane.

at this point i can;t blame it on eakins.... sure he doesn some questionable things... but untill the plays put forth the effort i have to give him the benefit of the doubt. seems to be having a hard time removing the silver spoons hanging out of this teams players mouths.

At this point blame MacT for bringing him in......the players won't play for Eakins is so clear.
