No wonders that idiot can’t find another job in hockey- he sucked that badly!

Isn't he a scout somewhere?

EDIT: not according to his Wiki page.

Something has to clear the front of the net, maybe the a player knocked out will block a few shots.

If coaching didn’t play a huge role in this team’s failures, then explain how Hall is doing so well on the Bruins when he couldn’t generate much here

Then explain how we looked so much better after the coaching change then before

I’ll wait....


Also: the goaltending was poor way too often,
especially with Hutton most of the time

he has 21 points in 20 career playoff games


anything but garbage


how many playoff points does Jack have?

- homiedclown


12 points in 15 games.

The Oilers didn't actually make the playoffs last year; just like the Leafs. He also had three points last night, all secondary assists, two of which he didn't do anything on.

Which, considering his regular season production of 1.41 points per game, is pretty garbage.

A guy like MacKinnon who averages just under a point per game across his career in the regular season, averages 1.46 points per game in real playoff games, he had 22 points in 12 games last year, only 4 of which were secondary assists. I'm not saying MacKinnon is better, but it is curious that McDavid doesn't up his game in the playoffs as of yet.

Doesn't sound awful. I wish I could fail so miserably at my job and go become some out of place looking equestrian.

It's a pretty sad state of affairs when Dustin Tokarski is first on the organizational depth chart. They need a lot of help. It's the worst position group at all levels imo which is a bad place to be
- Hank Balling


It was bad last year
Idk what we’re gonna do this year....
But we better bring someone(s) in- bc it doesn’t look like UPL is ready yet

Might be another “tank” season to try for Wright/Savoie/Lambert

I view it like Satan


I mean they are focusing on shutting mcdavid down, as they should

he still gets ppg production in the playoffs


Satan was the one guy up front for the sabres
35 points in 41 playoff games


colorado has a deeper team and thus have to split time on Nate, vs the other 2 lines



My guess is if the oilers were icing better players then khaira, ennis, mcleod, shore and kahun, he would be getting better numbers 5 on 5


and Hellebuyck is stopping over 95 percent of the shots this series, so he gets some credit

The heavy game makes his speed practically useless, needless to say the Oilers organization has continuously failed at surrounding him with the proper grit for McDavid to maximize his use in playoffs.

All the moves made McDavids rookie year destroyed the franchise ie same with Murray and Eichel.

Both have one thing in common, micromanaging owners.

More like: "Look, Beady, I'm not saying you should juice up the horsie with that syringe over there in the left-hand cabinet, but I'm also not saying you shouldn't, either."

He also may or may not have had his pee pee slapped after the Derby.
