About time the Oilers were relegated.

Perron wishes Oilers well from a happy distance - Sportsnet.ca

David Perron never said it when he was in Edmonton, and he wouldn’t say it over the phone on Monday night. So we’ll say it for him: he got the shaft in Edmonton this season. On a bad team, fired head coach Dallas Eakins never gave Perron the chance to help the cause.

As is the norm in Edmonton, Taylor Hall and Jordan Eberle were fitted with the only genuine NHL top-nine centre for the majority of games, as the team got off to another season-crippling start. Perron, who had tied Eberle for the team lead in goals with 28 last season, spent almost every minute of his 38 games in Edmonton this year playing next to a junior centre in Leon Draisaitl, or a 5-foot-8, barely-an-NHLer in Mark Arcobello.

It just wasn’t a place for a genuine NHL scorer to provide the production expected of him.

“I just wanted an equal opportunity to produce, and at times we only had one line in Edmonton. You definitely need more than one line in this league,” Perron said. “When you score 28 the year before, and don’t have the same opportunity, it’s frustrating. On top of that, when you don’t see the team result, that’s the biggest frustration for sure.”

Ryan Rishaug @TSNRyanRishaug
Ping pong table has been allowed back into Oilers room.. Wasn’t under Eakins. Yakupov lost to RNH Tuesday. Was sour.

Down Goes Brown @DownGoesBrown
@TSNRyanRishaug Wise move. With McDavid and Eichel looming, you definitely don't want to anger the ping pong ball gods.

David Perron can dangle and troll (lol)

Mark Spector ‏@SportsnetSpec
Informed that the ping pong table was back in Edmonton, David Perron asked, "How about donuts?" At least Eakins left a legacy.

I assume this is for the cheapest seats in the building, but holy schniekies...

Derek Van Diest ‏@SUNdvandiest #Oilers proposing 300% ticket price increase for new arena. So at least fans have that to look forward to ... #Leafs

So, Edmonton's regulation win on the road last night was the first regulation road win since November 9th (3 months). Let that sink in for a moment.

Did they have to take valuable points from NJ? Damnit.

Let this one sink in...

With the loss at Nassau Coliseum last night, the Edmonton Oilers have not won a game in that old barn in the 21st Century. Their last win there was December 1999.

And with the move to Barclay's next year, they never will.

I heard there's a chance that the Isles could still play a few games here and there at the Coliseum, but that was unconfirmed

Even if they still would play a few games there from time to time, the Oilers would never win there again anyway

Their last win in Boston had been an even longer time, though I can't remember the number offhand

I'm just happy the Isles got the win. The Oilers kicked their butt in Edmonton 5-2 earlier this season.

 

[mattola]

Just keep winning Edmonton

From Winnipeg story, "Next up dreadful Oilers." "Oilers are awful." "loss would be distasteful, beneath Jets." Wonder if this ends up in Oilers room?

lol - Like it would make a difference with this listless crew.

LET'S GO OILERS!!!!!
