Comedy gold out of Edmonton

[mooger_35]

Ya know, given Edmonton's persistent hopelessness, not the worst idea I've heard. Guessing Vinny has NTC?

Otherwise known as a No Edmonton Clause

Oilers have fired Goaltending coach Freddie Chabot. Expectation is Dustin Schwartz will replace him.

As always, blame the goaltenders/instruction in Edmonton.

Lol

@THNRyanKennedy: The Oilers fired their goalie coach? "We have two NHL backups playing behind one of the worst D corps in the league, CLEARLY YOUR FAULT."

You know, at times I start to feel sorry for Oilers fans, but then I remember all the gloating about "Another 9th place finish for the Flames" and "We're building something special up here" and "It won't be wnning the Cup, it will be how many Cups we will win" and I start smiling from ear-to-ear.

I really want to watch MacTavish nuke this roster from the safety of my own team. Blow it up!

"pretty Lowe dude... pretty Lowe"

Artem Anisimov is a top line center. On that team.

I don't know if Chabot is any better at explaining how to stop a puck than he was at actually stopping them. But I really hope he is.

Man, Spector writes a pretty damning article about the Oilers (but he makes some pretty good points).

Draisaitl incident tells us so much about Oilers - Sportsnet.ca

420 goals -- erases any feelings of sorrow.

/it was just one fan and I really shouldn't paint them all with the same brush, but in this case, I'm going to anyways.

I really think the Oilers are going to pull a page out of the Avalanche playbook of a couple years ago and keep Eakins until the end of the season (aka the Joe Sacco maneuver which resulted in landing MacKinnon). What better way to maximize your chances of getting McDavid by keeping a coach who clearly has lost the room?

So what you're saying then is the Oilers get the number one pick and Eakins leads Canada to bronze at the Worlds in May over in Praha?

/and Grant Fuhr is going to be the next Oilers head coach?

I would prefer Mark Messier over Fuhr, but otherwise yes esls, you got it.

Last time the Oilers beat a Western Conference team, Roman Horak scored one of Edmonton's goals.

I just took a quick look to see how Horak was doing in the KHL. He has 15 goals and 21 points in 29 games. Leads his team in both categories, and is 9th in the League in goals (leader has 20).

This team won't get better until ownership gets rid of all the former Oilers in management. Their player development staff needs to go as well.

@TSNRyanRishaug: Justin Schultz will likely be a healthy scratch today on heels of his benching

its all all well and good that they bench him ... its deserved ... but #Oilersworldproblem: who is the replacement? lol
