  1. Scrivens went from one of the best D's to the worst.

     

    Meanwhile Murray just got an extension for Fistric who he got for a 6th round pick.  He is an excellent physical defender.  Murray is the man.

    Psh.... Fistric.... wasn't good enough for Kevin Lowe & Co.! I'd love to know how Kevin Lowe of all people doesn't know how to help build a competent blueline. He was one of my favorite players as a little kid and now I can't stand the sight of him. Good for Fistric though. I like to see discarded Oilers succeed. Same with Penner and Cogliano.

  2. Oilers acquire regular healthy scratch Mark Fraser from Toronto in exchange for Cam Abney and one of my favorite players, Teemu Hartikainen. Hartikainen was in the KHL this season so essentially it's a rights trade. Glad MacT acquired another no. 6/7 defenseman because we need more. Good trade MacTavish. Just kidding, you're horrible and that whole front office makes me sick.

    FIRE EVERY SCOUT.

    Poor Ben Scrivens needs to run away after this season if this is the plan to improve the defense.

  3. **** Daryl Katz.

    **** Kevin Lowe.

    **** Craig MacTavish aka Tambellini 2.0.

    **** signing Bryz, like that was going to do anything to help.

    Burn it to the ground. Or maybe move to Seattle or Quebec. Who the hell cares anymore.

    **** this obsession with collecting as many players from the dynasty and placing them in my sort of advisory position available. Hey Katz you jagoff- CREATE A TIME MACHINE AND TAKE US BACK TO '87 OR GET THE **** OUT. Just putting guys like Messier in advisory roles doesn't magically bring back the dynasty, you drooling fanboy.

    Then these idiots will somehow win the lottery over poor Buffalo and stand up on the stage as if they deserve it with their shiny new no.1 pick that will be ruined by a culture of failure within two years.

    Go **** yourselves, Oilers front office.

  4. Bad news: Sharks completely dominate, could've easily been 6-1 luckily Dubnyk kept them in and the Oil lost 3-1. I'm sure Oilers fans will find a way to blame him and Yakupov (whom scored the lone Oiler goal) anyway.

    Good news: I don't have to watch these asshats for another 21 hours.

  5. Finally. I never thought I'd be so happy just to beat the Fins. Rainey and Leonard filled in for Mike James just fine. D kept em in it in the 2nd half when Glennon tapered off a bit. It's nice to see a win after almost a year of losing.

  6. I had to listen to both my Dad and a guy I work with whine for six straight weeks, acting like 0-6 was the biggest tragedy ever and that 0-16 was a formality. Now these dudes are gonna end up moonwalking into the playoffs due to the gross incompetence of the MAC Conference of the NFL.

  7. Throw Stortini in, he wasn't very good at hockey but I always loved that dude when he was an Oiler for some reason.

    The way I see it, Hall is untouchable, RNH can't be traded because this team never seems to keep a healthy corps of centers and both MacT and Eakins have publicly stated Yak won't be traded. Who knows on that Yakupov quote though as the Oilers front office isn't exactly reputable.

    I truly believe this team won't be good until fanboy owner Daryl Katz rids the entire front office of the Boys on the Bus. I appreciate the dynasty as much as anyone, I caught the tail end of it as a kid and became a fan because ESPN would show them all the time, but this seemingly endless attempt to hold onto the past with guys like Kevin Lowe, Craig McTavish and now Mark Messier in the front office has not and will not work. I'd love a GM that gives a damn about advanced stats rather than being obsessed with "grit," "sandpaper," and "compete level."

    Unless Katz is creating a time machine to make it 1987 again, in which case I take back everything stated above.

  8. So I guess the answer to needing a defenseman is to trade a second pair defenseman in Ladislav Smid to the rival Flames in exchange for a goaltending and forward prospect.

    Oh and welcome Ilya Bryzgalov. He will be the most entertaining thing about this trainwreck the rest of the season.
