He is actually trying to get a defensive structure in place that the superstars won't buy into. He could of left it as is and probably kept his job but and would of been a playoff team at best. I blame Holland with too many bad, bad moves, or lack of moves. I blame the superstars who are so predictable and only have eyes for each other and refuse to round out their games. Exactly, me too. I actually kind of feel sorry for him. He's tried to defend the team recently and his demise is their doing. I feel that the Oilers expected to win and are learning it takes more than just being the best player(s). You have to play together as a team. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crosby did it all and by example. McD is just the complete opposite and it's now easy for everyone to see. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Long Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 I can't see them paying big bucks to some miracle replacement coach, if McWhiner is indeed dealing with some injury. They'll give the job to Gulutzan, saying he was a head coach, yada yada. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen a team that whines as much as the Oilers, Mcdavid is truly leading them by example with his antics. Feel like that last game against the Canucks was eye opening for alot of people on the kind of player Mcdavid is. He will never be as well respected as Crosby. 3 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched a bit of the LA/Pens game last night. Crosby is still very relevant. He works harder on the forecheck and backcheck than anyone in the Oilers organization. He looks in very good health this early season. 2 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very predictable and one dimensional his thing has always been doing the dekey stuff at high speed. But as soon as he declines a little in either area, he's pretty easy to game manage. DraiBaby is really the only dangerous player on that team right now. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provost Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 (edited) Both Edmonton and Toronto seem to have a bunch of top players who somehow think they are entitled to win games. That doesn't bode well for becoming champions. It also makes it easier for things to go south as they put the blame everywhere else when hitting adversity. I think we have a skewed perspective with having our Captains and leadership groups over the years be the most hardworking, team oriented, and accountable guys in the room. I think Edmonton is badly constructed, and likely needs to altered fairly drastically. Tough to do with cap issues. On the plus side for them, whenever they have a lottery pick they win first overall... so Celebrini will be their consolation prize.

Looking at the bigger picture, this is the beginning of what could be five to ten years of crap for that franchise. Will all depend on weather or not they have the courage to start a rebuild. They won't, thus this will take a decade to fix. i dont think its that broken... they just have to buy out nurse and campbell... minnesota is competitive right? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No prospects, superstars that will almost most likely leave. Minnesota had prospect depth and a team that played the right way when the buyouts were made. Oilers are an absolute mess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
