The OIL sure turned her around last night...completely around from last year that is.

Oh, I know. That game had me concerned but I liked our response to that loss. Why are you guys losing so much?! Who's to blame, give me your take.

Two biggest reasons in my eyes are

1) Talbot has been inconsistent.
2) Klefbom has forgotten how to defend.

Not sure what the deal is with Talbot. He looked defeated last night after the Blues flukey opening goal. Confidence might be shot.
Klefbom keeps trying to do too much and ends up doing nothing at all IMO. Wish he’d just settle down and make the simple plays.

As a whole it’s like the squad is suffering from a hangover caused by last years success.

Not talking trades with anyone who doesn’t take Russell back the other way.

Geeezzz. The Hall/Larsson trade, yet an overpayment (most likely due to Chia's lack of strong negotiation abilities) is a fine deal.

Had (Max, Iggy, hell anyone from these boards) any person that can actually negotiate or hold his ground correctly been in that position, Hall/2nd for Larsson/1st could have actually been a reality. Shero wanted Hall no doubt, but the fact that Chia couldn't squeeze out a little bit more value is the part that pisses me off. Even without looking at those picks with hindsight (NJ drafted 12th ov in 2016), the value would be fairer and both teams would still get their wanted man.

But damn, Sorry to say, but Hall is gone, guys. Time to move on.

The problems with this team start with Talbot being inconsistent, lack of depth scoring, Klefbom, and a few other small details. These problems have been major issues this entire season.

Couple that with a terrible offseason from Chia... Ebs not traded for a top 4 defender or in a package for an upgrade on the RW, Pouliot bought out (having a great individual season in Buffalo), and resigning Russell (do I even have to explain this one?).

Also, what's with the bashing of Luc as of late? Our new scapegoat?

Not sure. I don’t love his contract but I think he’s been playing well as of late.
