I mean what are we even doing at this point? Why are we entertaining this circus. Hiring literally anyone else would be better than what they are planning to do.
"I can report that the Oilers players have reached out to the NHLPA to ask for guidance on how they should feel about this [Babcock hiring]."

This team loves to always make the worst decision possible. Does anyone have any sense in a position of power in that org, cause I'm starting to think they don't.
Sources: The Edmtn Oilers are consulting with the NHLPA to see if there are objections that must be resolved before potentially hiring Mike Babcock. Amid allegations of invading players privacy, Babcock resigned in CBJ as Head Coach in 2023. Further investigation may be required.

Couple horseshoe goals but when you put the puck on net, good things happen. I can somewhat understand a makeup call on Lazar but that call on Nuge was maybe the weakest of the season. 2 more periods unless they can find this switch they talk so much about #LetsGoOilers
3 things
1) Common sense says that puck is across
2) you can't say it is a goal after meeting for a couple of mins when the guy behind the net didn't call it.
3) You never got a view of that puck fully crossing the line from all the views they showed.
It would be better if the moment the Oilers went up 2-0 the clock jumped forward 15-20 mins and it is adjusted to 2-2. This team loves to sit back instead of keeping up the pressure. So dumb. Played 10 mins of good hockey tonight so rough 3rd upcoming #LetsGoOilers
All this goalie talk, you could put me in net and it wouldn't matter. This team has zero desire to play anything close to defensive hockey. And when they finally get the puck they are convinced the goal only counts if you made a low percentage pass prior to it. #LetsGoOilers
Ducks have 100% earned this 2-1 lead. Out working the Oilers every shift. And taking complete advantage of their lack of defensive awareness. Fun team to watch #LetsGoOilers
This team got exactly what they deserved. Can't wait to hear the same excuses in the post game. This effort would be embarrassing for preseason. #LetsGoOilers
McDavid celebrated that goal like it was to cut the lead to 10-5 with 30 seconds left. Shows the passion and care this team has right now #LetsGoOilers
