@vanceinla @dstaples @edmontonjournal He’s the reason for the two time cup appearances.

@dstaples @edmontonjournal If Paul Coffey IS the reason for the turnaround, what does that say about Knoblauch?

Paul Coffey does it again, with Edmonton Oilers defenders again playing their best hockey edmontonjournal.com/sports/hockey/… via @edmontonjournal

@JFreshHockey Critics are right about his defence. He must be confused about what his job is.

Combined with his respectable macro-level xGoals against numbers and his PK responsibilities on the Oilers, I don't really see why he should be automatically disqualified from Norris consideration due to reputation...

Some good myth-busting on Bouchard here re: turnovers and turnovers leading to chances/goals. I've also heard that Bouch ranks very well in several proprietary defensive microstats, like passes blocked and d-zone pucks recovered.

@NewWorldOilers The guy that loses to knoblauch is the solution to Mcdavid always losing lol

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.

@nielsonTSN1260 Bowman’s fault

Vegas - Colorado - Dallas What a stretch for the Oilers. Win all three and the city will be buzzing like it’s a cup contender. Lose all three and who knows what happens. I’m predicting 1-1-1 over the stretch.

@Hydroxyl_Acid @gsillak @Martyupnorth Not you specifically but this post is. It’s based on false facts. Yes, global market at work.

@Reckingball24 @gsillak @Martyupnorth Huh? I have not been complaining. Market at work.

Gasoline prices in Alberta are now over $1.40/litre across the province. Alberta produces 5 million barrels of oil per day, but only consumes a tenth of that locally. Our supply of gasoline is not at risk. This price increase is pure gouging by reatilers.

@jjwiens57 @edmontonjournal They miss a failed coach that can only land an assistant coach job? Ok you’re high

@edmontonjournal It’s the coach. Get a grip. The roster is better. Dallas stars are kicking ass. Who’s their coach? Gully. Oilers miss him. They also miss Woodcroft. Who’s assistant for the ducks. Guess how they’re playing. It’s the coach. And Nurse.

Tychkowski: Maybe the Edmonton Oilers just aren't good enough edmontonjournal.com/sports/hockey/…

@gsillak @Hydroxyl_Acid @Martyupnorth Then wtf are we complaining about?

@Reckingball24 @Hydroxyl_Acid @Martyupnorth Alberta already refines more than it consumes.

@Hydroxyl_Acid @Martyupnorth Except, pipelines and ships cost money. Local refineries lower cost. Simple economics

@Reckingball24 @Martyupnorth Alberta has more than enough refining capacity of over half a million bpd to meet the local demand, so that is not a factor. But an oil producer has a choice of selling the oil locally or exporting it at a higher price. It will not sell locally unless the price matches.

@CodyCoo15122985 @TheeHonestAndy lol Except the players he traded away, or lost gave the coach better results.

@TheeHonestAndy No it's on the coach. He's given him good players and he can't get anything out of them. Bowman should have been allowed to hire his own coach that was on the same page as him. Now he's spending assets to build around a shit coach

Bowman has been a disaster I think it’s pretty safe to say…now we’re just trading away every valuable pick we have left just to dig out of the hole he’s dug? Unbelievably bad GM’ing

@jpolly22 You’d have to give up a chance at ever winning a cup. At 10M a season for this guy?

Oilers fans... What would you give up for Sergei Bobrovsky?

@stylenlife @jmousis Great fit because he always loses to Knoblauch. You armchair GM’s are the same ones that wanted Skinner and the goalie coach gone. Great results, hey?

@jmousis I think it's too late for this season, Deboer would be a great fit for the Oilers. If I was GM I would have cut my losses before the Olympic break and hired Deboer.

Show of emotion from Knoblauch about 40 games too late. Bowman better pull the trigger before it’s too late.

@JohnBaker432872 @A_Haze81 @SleeperNHL Yup. I am not as X savvy so I’ll just post a photo lol.

@Reckingball24 @A_Haze81 @SleeperNHL Reason also says so. x.com/i/status/20290…

Connor Hellebuyck in his 5 Olympic games: 5-0-0 record .956 SV% 1.18 GAA Connor Hellebuyck in his last 5 NHL games: 0-2-3 record .890 SV% 3.61 GAA

@A_Haze81 @SleeperNHL Logic says so.

@Reckingball24 @SleeperNHL If you say so, big dog 🤙

@A_Haze81 @SleeperNHL He’s a professional. Not some sort of mental case. It’s the defence in front of him that changes a goalie performance. It’s so obvious.

@Reckingball24 @SleeperNHL It's not. Completely out of his routine. Playing with different ppl, maybe feeling a bit uneasy going back to Canada after all the drama etc. Who knows, I'm not him. It's a bit of a rough patch, which happens. But he's had 1 bad and 1 good game since he's been back. Who cares.

@A_Haze81 @SleeperNHL lol it was a 6 game tournament. Playoffs can be up to 28 games. This is poor logic

@SleeperNHL Goaltending is a mental battle. The guy just had a crazy couple weeks. All the energy & emotions. Then having to go back & play in Canada for his regular team (that is struggling this year.) It's understandable. And bad stretches happen. His body of work speaks for itself tho.

@KnowsPuck @JayOnSC How’s that worse than what Bob did in the 2023 finals?

@Reckingball24 @JayOnSC Stops a Marchand breakaway oilers have a cup stops a soft Reinhart goal in game 7 oilers have a cup

Should the Oilers be comfortable with their goaltending to carry them through the playoffs?

@KnowsPuck @JayOnSC This is a comparison of tandems so I don’t get your point. 30 other teams along with their tandems didn’t win a cup either. Not to mention Skinner posted the best GAA in the finals compared to Bob

@Reckingball24 @JayOnSC Playoff experience obviously doesn’t matter because they lost in back to back finals

@KnowsPuck @JayOnSC That’s a good point. Why is no playoff experience better than playoff experience?

@Reckingball24 @JayOnSC Going to judge playoff numbers on guys who’ve hardly played playoffs?

@KnowsPuck @JayOnSC Except, their numbers disagree with you. Especially their playoff numbers. And it’s not a one on one comparison it’s a tandem comparison.

@Reckingball24 @JayOnSC Jarry = Skinner Ingram> Pickard
