Bye bye Tippet...
Hello interim chair-warmer Playfair or Gulutzan LOL!

They are soooo fcukde!


The fact Oilers ownership made Holland both the President and GM is mind boggling. As lets be honest if they had a seperate Pres he would have stopped 90% of Holland's moves and fired Tippet by now

Not yet


I just played to Junior-B level in a 'C-rate-run-system" and spent a lot of nights getting shellacked/ice-bagged all over!

The Oilers team must be like ZOMBIES right now because all four wheels have come off that bus; spare tire too!!

Pretty sure it was his skating. His shot/puck handling was exceptional, and I’m pretty sure his defensive game was on par.

Skating can be improved though, just look at Brayden Point.

His skating isn’t great but his IQ/puck skills combo is elite and he his production was elite in his DY-1 + DY. His play style reminds me of Kucherov, just the way he thinks the game and makes his line mates better

Or Severson-Toronto.

Either one works.


The problem with Severson is the money does not work for 2022 with Campbell.

Manson would be a rental yes but once he goes we can use the space to try and bring Campbell back

Trying to see if we can make Severson work without retention though. Will get back to see if its possible

Canucks let Martin down

Myers dumping the puck in OT got to be dumb move of the century lul

Sloppy passes/No pressure

Basically were good for 40min then went to bed leaving Martin to try and bail them out

Refs must be McDavid’s biggest fan after selling the game to him. 3 terrible penalty calls

True, but in OT Myers dumping the puck for the Oilers doesnt help the Canucks much. Possession is key especially when you give Mcdavid all that open ice.

Sustained pressure was key but Canucks kind of shot themselves in the foot in OT as 1 SOG vs. 9 is not good.

The point is the game should not have gone to overtime.

Canucks in last 10Gms: 3-4-3.
BB honeymoon is over.

Franchise goes from 4-sure lottery pick under JB to meh-pick after Franco-Aquilini meddling!

To be fair. The honeymoon was cut short thanks to the sinister Omnicronous.

I would wait to see how they do once fully healthy again. As werent they on a 10 game point streak or something before covid hit them hard.

As being 3-4-3 while missing some key guys is kind of expected

It’s because franchise corner stone Tanner Pearson is now out with COVID


In all seriousness, the Canucks were understandably bad considering they pretty much had 1 first line and 3 fourth lines. Once Horvat, Garland, Pearson, and Demko come back, I expect to see better results but can’t expect much from the Abbotsford Canuckd

why has everyone for gotten the really good moves Holland has made, like every gm in the league would have traded JP for a second but Holland didn't, and he some how gotten a guy that scored 19 goals for Lucic, and Hyman is a great add to the top six. and he has gotten Petrov, Savoie, and Tullio all outside of the first 3 rounds

Those are good moves, give you that.
But the OIL are supposed to be CUP contenders NOT Wild-Card pretenders in the WEAKEST DIV this side of the ECHL, No?
