<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CD282</b></div><div>It's just the way many Oilers fans are. After every loss the text lines run hot with demands to fire the coach, fire the GM and blow up the team. It's crazy.

Self-loathing, I think its called.</div></div>

I actually don’t blame anyone for those thoughts to begin creeping up. There is next to nothing to grasp onto right now. Our pp is getting outscored. Pk doesn’t look inspiring. 5-5 is a mess. Very little emotion. Mcdavid last game had 0 contributions to quality scoring chances. I’m not ready to give up but honestly hard to blame anyone for being disgusted by this effort level. I hope they turn it around fast but every game is 4 point night this hole is going to get too deep very fast in this division. Stringing together 5-6 wins has always been challenging for this team but doing it against this division isn’t something we should be counting on.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ConnorMcHellebucyk</b></div><div>That’s what I’ve noticed. He’s been really solid. The trouble is, how soon until he’s worn out similar to 17-18 Talbot.</div></div>

Start kosk every game knowing the team has 40 minutes to prove they are in the game. If they are out of it after 40 minutes skinner comes in for the tail end. I get why he didn’t do that in the opener against van but to not do it in game 3 where the habs clearly had the game in the bag is foolish. He took several needless stops every second he’s in there is taking a huge risk of injury. This also gives skinner the experience in games that are out of reach. I’d rather see him get even limited experience before situation presents itself we have to start him with zero experience. It’s a tough situation currently that’s just how I’d approach it.

Thread: We need a winger
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Zmach</b></div><div>JP isn’t playing at the level he needs to to be up there. He’s bobbling pucks. From what they are saying Benson is super slow and he can’t get in on the boards and win battles. He’s got hands but no feet which might even make him a career minor player at this point.</div></div>

Idk if I’d say jp is bobbling a lot of pucks. I’ve been very impressed with him thus far I think easy been the best on his line. He is constantly moving his feet has made a few very good creative passes. My only knock on him right now is his shot it appears softer than it was in the past which can be resolved simply by adding more confidence to his game.
Benson well we don’t know any of that till things are attempted I project him to be a skilled 3rd liner and it’s not exactly unheard of to be the type of fit next to a superstar. Kunitz with Crosby strome with Panarin maroon with mcdavid never know how things will work out until attempted. Just looking to catch some lightening in a bottle anything that will gain traction.
