@JonathanWillis Is it Knoblauchs fault that his line has been getting caved?

The "pillow fight" quote was great, but nowhere near as important as McDavid telling reports to go ask Knoblauch what the Oilers need to do to be as well-coached and organized as the Tampa Bay Lightning.
English
@SportsThor I really don't see Knob making any glaring errors. I think the leadership group here is too used to getting everything their own way.
English
I do not believe McDavid supported the firing of Woodcroft or the hiring of Knoblauch. The room appeared to me genuinely upset by those moves. They had no choice but to accept it and it appears they did so only as long as Gully was here. They are done doing it.

Knoblauch is here because of McDavid and Jeff Jackson. He’s lost Bowman’s support for sure. McDavid comments suggest he’s had enough too. Will JJ listen to Bowman and McDavid (-and Draisaitl)? Or will Katz have to step in to make the call? Find out on next weeks Episode of Edmonton Oilers Management Nepotism Survivor! 🍿🍿🍿

@elksherd That's the problem with this club.....the tail is well and truly wagging the dog.
English
@NewWorldOilers McDavid was awful tonight. Giveaways all over the place at key times, getting caught up ice constantly and then caps it off by calling out his coach. Maybe the oilers have a leadership problem.
English
Pete Deboer is literally right there.
Idiots will say…”well Knobber beat Deboer 2 years in a row in the conference finals…” no you retards, the team did that, Stuart Skinner specifically.
McDavid’s post-game comments tonight sealed Knoblach’s fate. Final nail in the coffin.

@JasonGregor Hopefully Kuch pulls away in the Art Ross so McDavid can get back to trying to win hockey games.
English
Tampa wins 5-2.
Tampa's top line was better than Edmonton's tonight.
Every Oilers skater, except top line and Ekholm/Bouchard had a SF% above 66%. Those five were 33% to 23%.
Kucherov four points and now leads NHL scoring with 118 points.
English
@qauckenbush17 Too many guys out there who have zero chance of scoring a goal.
English
@OilersJack People need to simply accept that this team is just not that good.

How does Knoblauch’s coaching have this roster performing compared to its skill level?

For entries & managing trades, what’s your main timeframe?
While we're at it, share your preferred setup with explanations for this week in the comments! long or short, you're the boss!

@dstaples The game was not close despite what the stats might say.

Game was close.
Edmonton couldn't get a bounce or enough big saves.

@FranVezz If you're going hard on long swings in this market you need to go back to the drawing board.
English
Progressive exposure is something you don't understand until you FEEL the affects of not listening to it.
We've all been there. Getting too trigger-happy when we know we shouldn't.
Days like today highlight just how important it is.
If you went too hard yesterday, with too much size, the market has given a firm reminder of why operating incrementally is so key.
English
@TheMrWilhauk I get it but we're also one injury away from the golf course. Unfortunately this is not a team that naturally plays chippy....they've always needed a reason to switch it on. Not surprised they played the way they did last night.
English
@BrogansSimon Nobody said blood bath…. But you send those guys out and set the time by punishing then with heavy checks
English
If I was Daryl Katz and I heard Kris Knoblauch post game presser tonight, I would have fired him before he even left the podium.
How out of touch with reality he is about the game tonight is scary….
The quote…
"The guys worked really hard. The effort was there, but we couldn't find a way to score a goal."
Pardon me? Your team no showed !!!
Plus starting the McDavid line when Maurice is serving you Bennett & Tkachuk on a platter to start the game is idiotic….. perfect time to put 10, 46, 92 & 25 on the ice and say “go get’’em boys”.
I have lost total faith in this head coach and it’s time to make a change….

@calvinfroedge There's no logical reason for it not to happen.
English
I received an odd sign that the Strait of Hormuz crisis will end in about 3 weeks from now for reasons I am unaware of
If this happens, I will myself be very surprised, because there is no logical indication that would be the case
Let's all pray for peace regardless

@jfsrev Not oversold enough yet for Trump to announce a deal with Iran.

$SPY (Update) — Short Term Perspective with $MMTW % Of Stocks Above 20-MA
2 days of gains have been fully erased today, with $MMTW returning to historically oversold levels—similar to where we started the week. A 2–3 day rebound wouldn’t be surprising, even with $SPY at a new YTD low, as price is back near downtrend channel support.
If you’re looking to position shorts on tight risk, they should have been initiated before the move—not after today’s close.

3. Short Term Breath $MMTW (% Of Stocks Above 20-MA) $MMTW is an oscillator that can be utilized as a breath indicator to assess the internal strength and weakness of the underlying index by analyzing the percentage of stocks trading above a 20-MA. I recommend referring to the historical data I extracted in the tweet below to comprehend why I emphasize using a threshold of >50% as an indication of a bullish bias in the overall market, specifically when 10-MA is above 20-MA at index level. x.com/jeffsuntrading…

@dstaples Despite the sarcasm it is very Oiler-like to celebrate something that should be a given on any team serious about winning a cup.

Retire Jake Walman's number 96 for his scorched earth hit on Wiesblatt?
Yes, I agree such an honour is in order.

Boring is bountiful. What’s boring?
1. Getting up at 5:30am each day to study the intermarket actions globally.
2. Ignoring FOMO & sticking to trading rules that have served me for decades.
3. Staying in mostly cash when there’s significant geopolitical disruption like what’s occurring now.
But…you might say: “So & so on X made 6 figures last week trading while you stayed in cash!”
You can also run 8 red lights in your car before your luck runs out.
Over time the boring practice of risk management disciplines will reap rewards that happen one inch at a time.
So yes, boring isn’t sexy, it doesn’t garnish viral headlines but remember this timeless axiom.🔽
The turtle 🐢 beat the hare 🐇.
