They miss Keith? They need Murphy and Jones. Well that could be arranged.

Oilers drop another one at home. 0-4-1 at home so far this year. It’s early but they were one of the favorites in the western conference. Someone is going to get fired here soon if this continues.

Vegas over Avs last night 7-0. Guess all teams take the occasional beating.

I see Anaheim gave Vegas their first regulation loss of the year. Couple of things I noticed, the rookie defenceman Mintyukov, is a good one. And last year’s darling, Zegras, has all of 2 points this year.

He only had to take 5 strides to complete the marathon.

He only had to take 5 strides to complete the marathon. After getting to know what players like Chara, Hossa and also others had to expend into their development and later on translated into their careers, only then people realize why they were so successful. Seeing Hossa's pics after his retirement how he's keeping his shape and now Big Z, it's pretty much confirming that the success is mainly dependant on personal attitude and committment along some extent of talent of course.

Oilers drop another one. Quinn and Jack Hughes tied for 2nd in scoring with 20 points. Brother Luke with only 7 - although on the Hawks he would be tied for the team lead.

Brother Luke with only 7 - although on the Hawks he would be tied for the team lead. in a 4-2 game with just under 14 minutes left, the oilers get called for the only 2 penalties on one play. mcdavid gets a roughing call and draisaitl gets a 10 minute misconduct. 2 of the best in the world lost to your team in one shot. not too bright. then of course their coach gets mouthy from the bench late in the game and gets tossed because why not?

Sent them Mrazek for their second rounder this next draft and their 2nd rounder in ‘25

5 goals in 4 games is pretty good considering it took d-cat 16 games to hit 5 goals last year with ottawa and 11 games the year before that with chicago. his 38.5% shooting percentage this season isn't hurting things. d-cat cooling off a bit.

Sent them Mrazek for their second rounder this next draft and their 2nd rounder in ‘25 Just realized that he's off the books after this year (I am guessing that brass is liking Commesso's start in the AHL) - if he keeps up his play (hmmm, maybe his acrobatics so far have some motivation..?), he may/MAY become a decent playoff rental. And if KD cannot grab a 1st, your thoughts would leave us with "only" 10 picks in the the first 2 rounds 2024-2025. Lots of change coming!

Tanner Jeannnot threw ‘em with X-man tonight - guess I’ll have to look at the clip - might be a good one.

Wow - thanks for pulling it up so quickly! Yeah - not much of anything really. I had kind of hoped Hawks would get Jeannot just for entertainment if nothing else.

the resilliency of hockey players amazes me sometimes.
luke hughes left the game but returned.
hell, i'm stiff and sore just watching that hit.
colton got 2 for boarding hughes, plus 5 and a game for a crosscheck to meiers face a few seconds after the hit.

There’s other views of that hit, it shows Hughes pivoting and showing him the numbers at the last moment. Someone mentioned Hughes looks like a beer league player going in there expecting not to be hit. He’s just learned a valuable lesson.

Sharks win!!! Gotta start somewhere. Pure goalie win. Sharks score two and it improves their goals for average, fourteen now in twelve games. Embarrassing for the league.

I’ve seen enough of them this year to see that whatever system Woodcroft adopted this year just isn’t working out. That team is clueless when they are defending. Goalies haven’t been good, true, but it’s not all on them. Apparently rumour says they will probably be turfing their goalie coach as well.

Thanks Tin I have not watched much of the oilers but that start is epically bad gotta figure everybody goes if its not corrected?

Thanks Tin I have not watched much of the oilers but that start is epically bad gotta figure everybody goes if its not corrected? Another problem is they aren’t scoring much either. Even Chicago has more even strength goals. If your goalie gags early and you’re always playing from behind it changes your entire game plan. If it wasn’t for a top ten PP it’d be worse. I’m sure they’ll reset but it had better be soon for Woodcroft’s sake.

I’m not sure who’s readily available? Gallant? Boudreau? Sutter? Colliton? ? I don’t think Gallants style works for the Oilers. Boudreau maybe. Sutter would be interesting. Not sure if there’s anyone else worth mentioning at this point, but I’m sure there is!!!

Toronto continues to have a flawed roster. Yes the big 4 looks great with Nylander a free agent after 2023 and looking for AAV north of $10M. Yes they added some grit and toughness (Reaves, Domi) but their D and goaltending continue to not be addressed. They bring in klingberg but he is more of a power play specialist and not known his defensive play. Matthews similar to McDavid destined to not sniff a cup anytime soon.

ii don't think anyone would go near Q (or bowman) at least until this new investigation concerning "black ace 1" has been completed. nor would bettman give them the go-ahead.

This new transgression will surely at least pause those two. But I’m thinking they just don’t ever get back. While I agree Q would be great for the Oilers. He’s getting too old to maker her back. There could be another 2-3 coming out. This is why I’d like to see the NHL, the Hawks and lawyers put a limit of r a window on these. The victims do not have to “come out”. Their lawyers will do all the work. Let’s just end this and move on. And I think Gary should just say those 2 guys aren’t welcome back and move on!!!
