@dstaples @KevinMcCurdy @50in39 Trade walman sign kulak. Right that wrong

@KevinMcCurdy @50in39 The issue has rarely been his regular season play, which has been inconsistent, but good on average. The issue is Nurse's horrendous annual crash in playoff performance. Five years in a row he too often struggles to cover his man or make a pass.

I'm going to take some heat for this, but seriously, have a deeper look at Nurse's real world impact, it's not nearly as tragic as his reputation would have you believe. This sheet is @50in39's work, so he gets full credit. Bars in blue are the only ones he's finished outside the top 64 (32 teams x 2 defensemen) in his career. I certainly was more surprised by this than I expected, maybe you will be too. This isn't to say that there isn't development Nurse should be doing, and that he couldn't make smarter plays or whatever, but these results do say something valuable.

@dstaples @TopTierPucks Lol settle down boomer

@TopTierPucks Who is Neon? Is there a podcast to download?

Evander Kane was on Neon’s stream, and he basically brought up Edmonton every chance he got. He said that it was his favorite team he ever played for and how he wished he was never traded. I would love him back with the Oilers on a $1-3M contract. We need gamers #LetsGoOilers

@Rob_Tychkowski @Madi39 And in any of those city's you just listed how many is hockey under the microscope like in a Canadian market? Relentless ruthless media and fans in Canada has management sacrificing coaches to appease the mob pretty often

@Madi39 Not for elite organizations: Carolina: 8 years Tampa: 14 years Colorado: 10 years Florida: 5 years

the average tenure league wide is 2.5 years. k

@TSNRyanRishaug How much in lost revenue will an early exit cost oilers org this year? They are the 3rd most net profitable team in all of sports on earth, I might not agree but if the organization thinks knob is holding the team back from another deep run, 2.5 million down the drain is nothing

Knoblauch was entering the first year of a new three year deal that paid him just north of 7.5m total. Be interesting to see what’s next for him. Good candidate for any vacancy out there but also has the space to take some time to recharge.

@TSNRyanRishaug I was told that they replaced Kulak with Stastney, more mobile, younger and just as good of defenseman. Was that not true?🤦🤦

If the Oilers plan all along was to let Knoblauch go, then their handling of this has been horrendous. If they wanted to explore Cassidy as an option, and if it didn’t work out retain Kris, then it was risky - if it got out, they’d be scuttling a coach they just re-signed and were considering keeping. The fact it got out made a return for Knoblauch impossible. Arguably the most important off season in 30 years for this franchise gets off to a rough start. Have to think Bowman and Jackson are very much on the clock as well. Fatigue and injuries only go so far in masking a body of work with some massive mistakes at critical junctures. Brett Kulak with a series winner last night puts an exclamation point on mishandled assets and mis-reads on players. Will be an interesting few months for the organization.

@MarcoFoster_ All he did was give them billions of dollars and a direct path to a bomb! What kind of nonsense is this?

President Obama on Iran: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz”

@AliAbdelaziz00 Muslims dont target people? Treat all religions the same? Guess that settles that coming from a 911 terrorist its gotta be true.

When you have trash, you have to take the trash out. And that’s exactly what happened to this guy.

@donnilli64802 @JeffreyRWRath @WSOnlineNews Youre missing the point

@fasterhorses676 @JeffreyRWRath @WSOnlineNews People have disagreements, this is how people normally solve problems between them, your feelings mean nothing grow the hell up

@donnilli64802 @JeffreyRWRath @WSOnlineNews No, it pisses me off. I care deeply and so do alot of other people. To see these two fighting non stop online it makes this whole operation look just as petty and unserious as they both are! Turning into a rudderless ship. Need leadership and its neither of these two!

@fasterhorses676 @JeffreyRWRath @WSOnlineNews Calm the hell down If Albertans want their independence there's nothing 2 people working out their differences is going to change their minds

@OriginalYammer @ToughCallPod @oilrigEDM started coaching junior in PA in like 05 won whl with i think kelowna as a coach went to ohl had record setting seasons coach of the year won the ohl, 2 years as assistant in Philly then head coach in ahl for 3 years before coming to edm. Those whl coaches stock shelves at night.

@fasterhorses676 @ToughCallPod @oilrigEDM Knoblauch paid what dues exactly? He went from OHL straight to the NHL. Not exactly “ paying dues bud.

The Edmonton Oilers need more than just a roster shuffle—they need a tactical evolution. Here is why Jessica Campbell is exactly what the room needs. #LetsGoOilers theoilrig.ca/2026/05/09/jes…

@Chens89 @ToughCallPod @oilrigEDM No she needs to be affirmed as brave and beautiful then possibly promoted to management.

@ToughCallPod @fasterhorses676 @oilrigEDM Let’s ask you this. Can a woman hired as a coach in the NHL be criticized or attacked online without you seeing it as sexism or misogyny? What about when she’s inevitably fired? Will you automatically think it’s misogynistic, or a part of being an NHL coach?

@ToughCallPod @oilrigEDM Called it out? You called me names and put words and opinions in my mouth that I never said because you just cant believe someone could think an incompetent woman diversity hire is a bad move for the oilers.

@fasterhorses676 @oilrigEDM The “fuck your feelings” crowd are almost always the first ones to lash out. Then when they get called on it they try and turn it around. I wonder where you get that playbook.

@verviticus @ToughCallPod @oilrigEDM The system failed her? She played on the women's national team and now farms 6000 acres with her husband and coaches local hockey. She does better financially than most nhl coaches. Your use of injustice is telling. Victim mentality.

@fasterhorses676 @ToughCallPod @oilrigEDM do you not see the inherent injustice in deeming her both the best coach you've ever had but also being someone that the system fails to judge correctly? you're basically describing how the system has completely failed both this woman and the people she could have coached

@ToughCallPod @oilrigEDM Never said it. Don't believe it. If I did id have no reservations posting about it on a burner Twitter. Deffinatley a liberal. There is not a single thing you or anyone could ever say to me on Twitter to make me spiral like you are now. Just the softest of the soft this guy.

@fasterhorses676 @oilrigEDM I’m not a “lib”. I don’t have a “side”. I can agree with some conservative views and some liberal ones. Your world view is based on all women being inferior as coaches at the pro level. What would you call it?

@ToughCallPod @oilrigEDM I am literally looking at this case only. I have never said anything close to women shouldn't be able to coach in the nhl. Stop putting words in my mouth. I THINK it is a blatantly stupid idea for edmonton to even consider hiring HER at this SPECIFIC point of time. Fair enough?

@fasterhorses676 @oilrigEDM “World views” and “opinions” aren’t the same. Sometimes diversity hires do happen. If you were looking at this case only, that would be a “difference of opinion”. But you based this “opinion” on the entirely horrific “world view” that no women are capable of coaching in the NHL.

@ToughCallPod @oilrigEDM You do as most libs do when someone doesn't share your world view. You dont for a second consider we just have a genuine difference of opinion. No, you find it threatening then screech whine and immediately resort to all your favorite buzz words. Bigot! Misogynist!

@ToughCallPod @oilrigEDM Your going to pretend your side is the one of meritocracy?? Lol please. Its wrong if its man woman white black gay straight. Its wrong to hire someone solely based on any of the above and again im sorry it upsets you little flower but she was put on a fast track for good press.

@ToughCallPod @oilrigEDM Best coach i ever had was a woman. That was aaa midget not nhl. Sorry if it hurts your feelings but she has been a diversity hire every step of her career, put on the fast track over many people who paid their dues for some cheap publicity stunts

@fasterhorses676 @oilrigEDM You dismissed it immediately as a “diversity” hire which quite obviously means you’d never hire a woman for any male sport coaching job ever. The fact you automatically say there’s thousands more skilled and qualified men confirms it.

@ToughCallPod So virtuous! Elbows up comrade

YOU are a the daft twat, representing the “confidently wrong” era to a fucking tee. Agree with the article or not, but at least fucking open it.
