I just don't have faith in this head coach. The team has considerably declined by every metric in the regular-season since Knoblauch's arrival. Of course, the main thing going for him was two consecutive SCF appearances... but at this rate, will they even make the playoffs?
Jason Dickinson, who the Oilers acquired to be a defensive matchup centre, had the second-least amount of ice time for Oilers forwards at 5v5 against the Hurricanes tonight. #LetsGoOilers
FIRE KNOBLAUCH
We have a quality roster but every night we fail because our stupid coach can’t do his job. Dickinson was amazing tonight and barely played. We were double shifting McDrai in the first period. That is not a recipe to win you games…

How are people not understanding the trade of this 1st round pick. Andrew Mangiapane was a negative asset. Michael McCarron got a 2nd alone yesterday and Dickinson is a better player than him. This deal isn’t surprising at all. #LetsGoOilers
@KevinMcCurdy Curious, can you honestly say when they signed those three players you weren’t excited at the prospect of them on your team? It’s easy to judge it after the fact but free agents are tough. I agree all three didn’t work here but at the time of signing it seemed promising
Knoblauch pretty quick to yank Savoie from Draisaitl line. Has been excellent for a few games now and has earned zero rope somehow.
Oilers dreadful with the puck so far today. Could still win this one but it’s been ugly.
We've got to the point of the game where the discussion has become how Kapanen will help when he returns.
Unless he covers WIDE OPEN guys in front of the net it's not going to change a thing.
On far too many nights the Oilers are a docile lifeless group. Next to no emotion or push back from them tonight. Tiny flashes of it stand out - A guy throws a few decent hits and scores a goal and it’s a complete outlier. Like he’s playing a different game than the rest. Not a good trait.
Regula was actually trying to battle his man in front in the first period, the guy got his stick free and scored and Regula has got one shift since. He's played 1:33.
Kulak is lucky to not be 0-5 goals and is 0-15 in November and they keep rolling him out there.
@NHL_Sid Why do you think he is overplaying the stars so much killing penalties etc? It takes the other forwards out of the game when they don’t get minutes. When Knoblauch first joined the team he was utilizing the whole team and it was refreshing.
This is just embarrassing.
1) The Ontario ad does not misrepresent President Reagan’s anti-tariff radio address in any respect whatsoever. It is a direct replay of his radio address, formatted for a one minute ad.
Everything that Reagan said in his pro free trade April, 1987 radio message is consistent with the ad. In fact, everything he ever said about trade, before and after becoming President, is consistent with his principled opposition to tariffs. Look all the way back to his GE radio editorials in the 1960s, or consult the book “Reagan, In His Own Hand,” to see the consistency of his anti-protectionist arguments.
2) The Reagan Foundation does not own copyright on the public domain statements of a President uttered 40 years ago, and disseminated by the White House. To suggest that open, public Presidential statements, produced at public expense, are somehow subject to copyright limitations is laughably ridiculous.
3) The @RonaldReagan Foundation knows these things. They know perfectly well that the Ontario ad captures precisely President Reagan’s opposition to tariffs, and support for free trade. But it is obvious that the Foundation now has gormless leadership which is easily intimidated by a call from the White House, yet another sign of the hugely corrosive influence of Trump on the American conservative movement.
For shame.
BREAKING: trump is having a temper tantrum, ending ALL trade negotiations with Canada.
He's butthurt that they aired an ad of President Reagan that shows how dumb trump's tariffs are.
It's VERY effective.
Be a shame if it went viral. 🇺🇲🇨🇦
