Honestly tho- what a (frank)ing joke of a team and (frank)ing dumbass coach... Nikitin and Jultz played alot last night- and were victimized all night... Then in Eakins explanation he states Nikitin has back issues and playing hurt- yet had the most ice time last night as well???

Then Eakins decides to call out his top line... Isnt it a tad late for that...

Eakins also talked about being delicate with ice time and poop

End result this is our head coach??

One would think 8 years of losing in a primary leadership role in an org would trump whatever accomplishments made as a player by now

so hows the mood in here this morning?

My problems with last night:

- why are there so many turnovers? Do they not want the puck?
- too many passes
- LD seems so hesitant all of the time and doesn't look aggressive
- Jultz doesn't like to hit the net nor does he have a slapshot
- What did Nikitin do to deserve so much ice time?
- Why are the guys doing so many spins in their own end?
- Does nobody know how to play the body? Stop putting the stick length-wise on the ice to try to stop a pass everytime the Canucks have the puck.
- Seriously, why all the turnovers and odd-man rushes?
- #FreeMarincin
- I get so disgusted watching games I don't even want to have a drink when they play
- Is the gameplay focused around not giving Yakupov the puck?
- We need a 1D so (frank)ing bad.


Positives:
- no jersey's were thrown on the ice
- I still hate Vancouver more than I hate the Oiler's losing.
- I'm still not like Alex_Oil regarding Eakins

that is so (frank)ed. I feel really bad for Jack. That's a messed up situation, and I'm hoping it doesn't effect his playing abilities. If that happened to me, I would disown my parents.

He had a pretty rough game last night. I think the Oilers need to make a move for a dman AND a centre before the 40 game mark so we can send him back to Jr.

Ahh (frank) it I was going to bold all of the things - but basically I agree with majority of above!

I'mm 100% fine with keeping him up to the 40 game mark, but a 2C needs to be acquired. LD isn't ready for the NHL.

The Iron Sheik just got in touch with me. He got a 1 year ban.

100% correct

Sure he says some pretty things about my team, but to suggest that the Flames are 20 games into a rebuild is hilarious. Incendiary remarks to say the least. A lot of our players have been Feaster picks, Hartley is a Feaster hire, pretty sure Iginla and Bouwmeester were not traded by Burke. When is a rebuild underway? When you hire a new GM, are you automatically back to zero days of a rebuild?

I just found the article to be troll worthy, hence my post.
- jazzca1974

I'd say 102 games into their rebuild

But well done getting 2 centres back to back. Build your forward group from the Centre out.... wish the Oil did that from day one (2010)

Anyone else catch Aaron Ward being a douche on twitter last night to an Oiler fan???

Technical Foul

Edmonton is a sh*tty team right now. But likely the best chance
- AlfieisKing[outside of Montreal] to win a cup. I know call me crazy but with the right moves and change of team play this team has something other teams don't have; multiple YOUNG franchise players. Unfortunately it's not spread (on D and in goal) but ask any GM; big fish are the hardest to land.

Methot is a great Dman. But he isn't a #1. He's a #2 with a great right hand shot (weber, piets, karlsson, subban, letang.... heck even Justin Schultz (don't know what's going on with him this year though)

edit: not with JS on a contender. But for the time being ok. That's a 2nd pairing on a contender without a doubt; if JS is playing better

You're (frank)ing crazy.
