  1. I must say the Oilers have been fortunate to have 2 world class GMs in Holland and now Bowman. Now that this year is done, Bowman has his hands on the team and looking forward to the magic he can bring to the team that was brought to the Blackhawks. I hope Know brings in different coaches but keep Coffey and Gully.

  2. There is a huge difference when you compare Stan Boman to Bill Zito. He surely does his best, but Bill Zito is a genius. Especially buildingbthe team blocks, as well as signing key players.

    Look at the team he has in his hands : not depth enough,a bad goalie play in decisive matches, signing Bouchard and McJesus, with 28 million, getting rid of Nurse headache, group is very old, not any new blood , many signed playes have failed in Edmonton ( as he admitted) no assets to trade…uff… How he can make this work. Probably not.

    I m suprised if Oil is in play offs nxt year.

  3. interesting that stan brought up a change in tactics, in addition to people, to try to improve from last year. connor also noted feeling stuck trying the same things again and again against florida during the last few games. i bet that is how we win next year – a change in tactics

  4. No.goalie coach,?you must mean two new goalies for sure.oilers number one goalie at best very inconsistent. Their backup goalie a career minor leaguer

  5. Come on, Bowman, listen to Mcdavid.
    We aren't winning with Skinner.
    He's an NHL back up, on his good days

  6. Guys like McDavid, Matthews, McKinnon, will pretty much guarantee a team can get to the playoffs. But, without supporting cast, we know the voyage only goes so far. Gretzky, when he left the old reliable Horses of his old Oiler team, could not win a stanley cup afterwords. Need a 2 or 3 top defense, and 3 top 30 to 50 goal scoring forwards to at least get to a cup final, and a fair goaltender. Or, eight 20 goal scorers on 3 different lines. Take u r pick.

  7. A clue. Jacob Markstrom and Jersey beat the Panthers 4-1 on Nov. 12. Jake Allen’s also on that team. Hurricanes have beaten the Panthers the most in NHL history.

  8. playing Ekholm was dumb, just dumb. he was not even close of being ready and had a crappy year. Should have kept the lineup that got you there. Also, if you dont get a real goalie you are literally trying not to win a cup

  9. Hire Bill Ranford for a goalie coach! He's proven he can teach goalies like Jonathan Quick, he can do it! Hire a new Power play specialist too😅

  10. Edmonton needs to find a way to get rid Nurse if they really want more cap flexibility.
    The League needs to end Full No Trade clauses all together.

  11. Kulak 31 Still a Good Strong D……And Ekholm Keep Paying Him Love him …. But Nurse is a LIABILITY every Time he is on the Ice and NO its not our Goalies Fault When Nurse is Screening them Every Shift.

  12. And also Bouchard good Offensive Defence Man but On Defence not as Bad as Nurse But Very Close .So now you Have 2 LIABILITIES on Defence Down Low NURSE and BOUCHARD .This Coaching Staff Just Keeps Getting Worse What a Joke SLATS just LAUGHS at you Fools

  13. So Bowman the biggest clown in hockey just lost Perry and Brown… I swear this butt hole was hired to ruin the oilers … if I was McDavid I would get the hell off the team … can the owners please fire Bowman and ban him from Canada before there is nothing left !
