@JasonGregor I haven’t even watched a game this year yet. I just don’t feel the Oilers are good for the community anymore. You are bombarded by emails about 50/50 and they raise everything they can including Roger’s kinda sick of it.
Conspiracy theory.
What if bowman and company knew this would happen , knowing the NHLPA would want this , right during the Stanley cup finals, and the oilers basically saying fuck you to the league and the knights saying fine , you guys are gonna be dicks about Cassidy, we’re gonna bring the rain right to your front porch, this making a bad stain on the finals , taking away the spotlight , league gets pissed at the knights and says sack up and let Cassidy talk to the oilers and stop being bitches….
ITS POSSIBLE.
I've defended the Oilers through every bad trade, signing, and mistake.
But I woke up this morning thinking… in 11 years of the McDavid era, have the Oilers ever made a HUGE move where the rest of the league said:
“Whoa… the Oilers are scary.”
Yes, they were the best team in the league for stretches in 2025.
Yes, they won 17 straight in 2024.
But still never a top 3 overall team in the standings. Never a division winner...in the McDavid Era.
And why does every season feel exactly the same?
Slow start. Dig themselves a hole. Go on that southern states road trip and fade. Spend months trying to recover.
Other fan bases never look at Edmonton like THE team to beat.
It’s always the little moves.
All these coaches.
All these GMs.
Same problems every year. PK struggles. Defensive structure breaks down. Still rolling Nurse out on the PK and of course goaltending.
The best goaltending stretch of the McDavid era was Cam Talbot in 2016-17.
Knoblauch says the stars need fewer minutes and the bottom six need bigger roles. We’ve heard that for years. But you didn't change it.
Bowman says they’re not going to make a lot of moves.
Every deadline, the top player available never ends up in Edmonton.
The Oilers are never creative in a trade or signing.
When do they finally go all in?
@jimmathesonnhl Considering his last couple moves can we trust Bowman to make these decisions. We are not getting better we are getting worse with every move. This team needs a bold move. Time to disrupt the core group, even if it’s just public knowledge of intent to ask for people to wave NTC.
@TSN_Sports Had zero interest started the half time show instantly showed has nothing for me. Couldn’t tell you a song he sings or a song that I know. The only reason I know who he is was through happy Gilmore 2. I have a 15,17,17 and 20 year old and they couldn’t care.
