Fucking WIlson, this league is such a joke, and the league won't suspend him even though he is the definition of a repeat offender

Oilers are 4-1-1 since Hitchcock took over.

Our back up goalie- Koskinen- who's now seemingly become our starting goalie, is 8-2-1. Koskinen is also 5-0 playing at home.

Hory macaroni, oilers need a new coach 5 times a year, it seems. Looks like everyone is trying to prove themselves with a new coach and they're managing to squeak out 1 goal victories.

Hey, I'll take it for as long as it lasts. But it surely won't last forever. I know that much.

From what I understand Leivo has wanted out for years because Babcock never trusted him, the absence of Melander was the reason he got to play for 20-something games this season. He will have a good chance to stay in the lineup in Vancouver, I guess this is what he prefers.

Looks like the NHL still has the ability to police itself.

Reeves knocked out Wilson last night...Tommy Boy needed helped off the ice.

Wilson knock down

Pens should have kept him...

Loved seeing Wilson get some long overdue Karma. Funny how Craps fans always defend Wilson yet cry when he's a victim of the exact same type of blindside hit that he gives out every game. Reavo's hit was shoulder on shoulder and didn't target the head unlike dbag Wilson when he hits people. F that guy

Oilers record has improved to 7-2-1 since under Hitchcock. I don’t get it. This team actually sucks but is managing wins somehow

Scoring hasn’t increased. But defense seems to be much improved.

Which is exactly what Hitchcock does...short term it works...then players like McDavid who want to score start to hate him.

Misery loves company. How about those Flames? Talk about shooting up the charts.



And honestly, I have no idea what has happened to St. Loo. That roster should be contending...dafuq happened.

Too bad Hitchcock has a secret man crush on McDavid.

Thats the only reason Hitchcock is in Edmonton now, and out of retirement.

Apparently he likes preying on coaching young men...

Well, we'll see if this can be sustained...his system does wonders for goalies but also nerfs scoring which is why his team's often were come playoffs when the checking is even tighter.

There are also examples where his system eventually completely went up in smoke: Dallas comes to mind as a recent example as WTF.



If Edmonton is smart, regardless of what happens, they fire Sharelli at the end of the season because if he remains, McDavid will retire as a great with no Cups.
