@JasonGregor question for a Saturday night. From what I can see Oilers would hold all tie breakers over Nashville so why have they not clinched a playoff spot yet?

Craig, put out a statement grilling Parros and the DoPS. Hockey fans everywhere would be happy to pay the fine.

@KevinMcCurdy @SportsThor In fairness, the team didn't give JJ much choice. They were 2-9-1 and looked completely broken. The likely would have come out of it with Woodcroft but coaches are always one bad streak away from an axe for better or worse
English
@SportsThor Woody got shanked to JJ could get his guy in there. So frigging petty.
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.
Captain Jack 🏴☠️@OilersJack
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! 🍿🍿🍿

@vanceinla Nuge...McDavid will have many bigger ones to reach.
English
McDavid to Nuge to reach 800 each on the same goal. Who gets the puck? @JasonGregor

Jarry should never play another game for the Oilers again. My goodness.
English
If I was an Oiler fan I'd frankly be embarrassed of needed to be carried by the refs every game to get ahead in the standings. I appreciate being a fan of a team that actually has to grind out wins

@thackattack41 @nielsonTSN1260 Could make an argument for Podkolzin too. He was also excellent.
Also liked the games from Savoie, Dickinson, Murphy and Frederic.
English
@nielsonTSN1260 1. Kapanen was outstanding tonight (best Oiler).
2. Depth scoring accounted for 75% of goals (2 goals for Freddy since the break).
3. Oilers might have a legit 4th line.
English
Three Quick Thoughts
1. Ingram was really good.
2. Thought Podkolzin was excellent tonight, best forward for sure.
3. Going to need to play much much better in Colorado and Dallas.
What you got?
English
@Isuckatpicking This is actually crazy. That line has been solid tonight and highest TOI is Frederic at 640
English
@OilerAlert Easy to blame the goalie here but I'm not sure prime Martin Brodeur would be more than average behind this team commitment to defense
English
Stolarz would be good too. Edmonton! Please make a play for a goalie!
English
@mathewjdp They swung and missed on Mang in the offseason. They got better now and yes a 1st is a lot but with the way the roster is constructed it should never be more than a late 1st anyway. They are a win now team and have to act accordingly
English
@KevinMcCurdy Telling oiler fans to chill on here is like me telling my wife to calm down during an argument
English
Everyone chill, lol. This deal isn't even finalized yet, and the analytics behind it may surprise you. I also wonder if the missing piece might plug the 3c hole in the future as well.
English
@thegoldenmuzzy But then us oiler fans could only overreact on one deal.
English
Should've just put Murphy & Dickinson in the same deal
Elliotte Friedman@FriedgeHNIC
Edmonton and Chicago are discussing another move This one would send Jason Dickinson to the Oilers. We will see how it turns out
