Coyotes are a pretty good solution to a bad start.

Also, this came today.

Fuck, the Oilers won today. They're ruining their chances of getting the first round draft pick again.

I'm sure NJ and Shittsburgh will crush their spirits in no time and bring them back to the losing realms of suckery.

On another note, I'm visiting NYC in a couple weeks and going to the Rangers vs Blue Jackets game. Decided to get the bar stool seats... didn't even know bar stool seating existed!

Pens definitely fighting a Stanley Cup hangover, last couple games have been brutal to watch. I know they'll snap out of it, thankfully it's in October, but definitely frustrating as well

Hawks are middling lately too. After going offensively postal for the first couple of games to start, the well has been dry...and that PP is just putrid. You'd think with all the talent, they'd be way better.

Anyways, it is early but telling sign is Thanksgiving...usually, if a team is NOT in a playoff spot, they will miss it.



Hawks are borderline.

Mat Dooshane traded from Nordiques.

Kile Tooris also goes to Nashville.

Duchene traded to Senators in massive three-team deal - Article - TSN

Ok, the Oilers are on the straight victory to getting another first round draft pick. These guys are fucking brutal.

If your team is single-handedly ruining McDavid, that city should allow the Oil to relocate. Seriously.

And wait...

THEY GOT SHUTOUT BY THE REBUILDING WINGS!???!?

It was probably too late for you Eastern Time peeps but the Ducks/Kings tilt was entertaining. Absolute street-fight.

If Moog still were here, he'd be ready to go on a diatribe about Perry though...wow, I think he accidentally-purposely ran into Quick at least 4-5 times.

Dafuq.
the problem has become quite clear: we have zero secondary scoring. Our third and fourth lines are absolutely abysmal. They're literally dead weight on the ice. What's weird though... the oilers overall shots on goal are super high. I don't get it. Yes, defence is struggling a bit, but if we had our forward lines producing, we wouldn't be in half this mess.

Either way, it was nice to see the top line score 2 of 2 goals, last night. Draisaitls assist to mcjesus, and his goal was pretty highlight worthy material last night.

Yeah that guy is a bag of dicks also. He's fucking useless out there, for 57 minutes of every game. And he's no star for the remaining three minutes, either

Allegedly the arena is selling out virtually every night, but according to management: "too many fans are checking out the nooks and crannies of the arena and not sitting in the stands."

I did not pay up for club level, but suspect part of the issue is that there are way more club level seats that also include food, so a lot of fans are stuffing their face to get their money's worth at the club lounge.

I don't watch enough Edmonton games to comment on the high-shots BUT...if quantity is from far away and with little traffic, they can fire 23441431414 and most NHL goalies (YES, EVEN THE NON-NAMEBRAND ONES) will stop them. So, I dunno...are players like Whatamaroon and Loocheechandchong doing a "Perry" and running goalies? Cuz, without traffic, seriously...high shots mean squat.

Anyways, I did read a comment recently that Edmonton is "slow". Dafuq? Is that true? How and when did THAT happen...?
