Essential Oilers

Raised on the Copper and Blue. It isn't always easy cheering for them, but we can't live without them. I've been known to be unreasonably positive.

Whether you loved him or weren't his biggest fan, you have to admit Mike Smith had incredible passion for the game and gave 110% during his time with the Oilers. Not to mention giving us some moments we'll remember forever. Thank you Shmitty!!! Please retweet and keep this going!

@bbqera5 @JasonGregor @sportsjunkie007 That would be amazing. If they could find a way to make that trade, it probably wouldn't happen until closer to the deadline I'm guessing.

@GetzyNSports If it was his only drop of the night, then sure. But he's in everyone's crosshairs because he has 2 brutal drops and 1 lost fumble. Not a good night.

It's crazy how fast some Oilers fans turn on certain players when they have 1 bad game after playing so well recently.

@noisewater21 Have you considered a Subaru Crosstrek?

But in all seriousness, get the Rav4. It's probably the most expensive out of the 4 but should be the most reliable

@AzorcanGlobal Hear me out, hear me out. Jeff. Skinner

@OilersNation ....he said before a 2-1 game in a shootout.

OH HAPPY DAY. OH GLORIOUS DAY. WE GET TO STAY DRAI FOR 9NMORE YEARS

@Sports1440 @JasonGregor Mac T is an absolute gem. I could listen to him talk hockey and tell stories all day. I hope he is on the Oilers broadcasts more this season.

[Essential Oilers @OilersEssential]

@AJPahlke66 @AzorcanGlobal It looks even worse when Jeff Jackson made his Twitter account private right before the decision. Looks like he knew he was going to get backlash for it and didn't want to deal with it.

[Essential Oilers @OilersEssential]

I just don't understand the Bowman hire. Why does he immediately get the most attractive GM job in the league? There were so many other qualified candidates including some. Lesser known guys that could have worked with Jeff Jackson to run this team. I hate this.

[Essential Oilers @OilersEssential]

@QFreshHockey @evanderkane Kane also has a NMC

[Essential Oilers @OilersEssential]

Everyone is ready to move on from @evanderkane but I still say he makes the team better. If he can get healthy this offseason, the Oilers would be the deepest forward team in the league

[Essential Oilers @OilersEssential]

@FabulousBS @evanderkane Nah. That can't be allowed can it? I bet no other team has ever done it twice

[Essential Oilers @OilersEssential]

@Tyguy1999 @MikeIsaak @evanderkane Thank you for your input

[Essential Oilers @OilersEssential]

@MikeIsaak @evanderkane So he can see this post and hopefully feel the love from everyone commenting that we should keep him.

Paul Coffey: I don’t want to be a coach. *Proceeds to get the absolute most out of a very average D core*

Jeff Jackson: I don’t want to be the GM. *Proceeds to have the greatest Day 1 Free Agency in Oilers history*

Maybe we just need more hockey men who don’t want the job lol

[Essential Oilers @OilersEssential]

@island_oiler Haha I do not. I'm just used to most people on this website who for some reason are never happy with anything, lol. Glad you aren't one of them. Is it October yet!?
