Oilers suck
I blame knoblauch and bowman for how bad this team is it knoblauch only has excuses and bowman is showing why he's not a good gm at all
main responsible is Knoblauch, he is not a good trainer, no system, pure chaos, did not improve any player. Bowman is just as guilty, does not ack goal-tending as a problem, gave contracts to Fred (useless), too high to Bouch, too quick to Eckholm and Knoblauch. Bowman has failed, Knoblauch has to go, goal-tending needs a number 1, a trainer that is accountable and makes players accountable, particularly on the defense, a strong hand, not a softie as Knob.
I knew when we lost in the 2024 Finals that we were never winning a cup with this group. We simply are not winning with Skinner in net and being leakier than a sieve on D
Knoobs has no answers. Ever.
It's funny you mention disaster….. that's why Im here.
Last season November 18th 2024 the oilers had 9 wins and 8 losses and you guys were panicking, the oilers ended up going to the cup finals . This year November 18th 2025 the oilers have the exact same record of 9 wins and 8 losses and you guys are panicking
again lol €
haven't you noticed how coach
Kris Knoblauch plays his team ? They will Come on strong in the late December and into the New year like last year.
This season…. is WORSE than past 2 years…. The cup final is DONE….. 30% of all their players have left; awful addition: Fred/Wallman/Maniapani/HOward/Savoie/ NURSE – need to go/ Bouchbomb stupid/ekholm lazy and is done/ and of course the nasty sloppy skinner and Pics… aweful tandum… OILERS will be on pacific bottom…. april 2026. AND KNOB will be fired by end 2025
How does this happen every year? What a weird team.
« The Oilers need more talent upfront » this guy is about insightful as I don’t know what!!!
Draisaitl for Pasternak
I would trade Bouchard for Sorokin. Oilers have to have a goalie. Lepponen in Bakersfield could be a replacement for Bouch and Wallman does the PP also.
What’s crazy is the Oilers have never actually built a good team around McDavid and Draisaitl for their entire careers. The two of those players are just so super human they are able to drag a pile of shit to the finals 2 years in a row. In its own way, it’s a testament to how good they really are.
Probably no changes because general manager Stan Bowman doesn't give a crap about the team.
Florida sucks too but nobody talks about it.
Dont press the panic button or is it cklick bait?
Oilers stink. It’s the truth. Looks good on them
Fredric over Kane tells it all…
