Dont know many players who reject 80 million
Only player I know was Vanek with Islanders
Oilers will get much better, everyone is over reacting because it's the beginning of the season, if they had 7 or 8 bad games in February no one would be losing their minds
Flames are only getting worse
With Oilers, it’s a morale issue at this point. I think the team has hangovers from the coach’s inexplicable goalie decisions in the playoffs last season. Anyway, let’s remember the doomsayers when the Oilers lift the cup. GO OILERS!
No one on their right mind actually thought huberdeau was a 115 pt player. He did it once. But let's be honest florida traded him for a legit superstar and absolutely fleeced Calgary.
Nurse and Bouchard are lucky to be in the nhl let alone lead a team to the glory land.
Oilers because they had cup expectations going into this season. I know it's still early and there is time to turn things around but it's getting harder and harder if you keep losing and you lag behind.
A cutting edge System Managed by a Coach who has the Acumen and Processes to adjust it on-the-Fly would make either Roster an overnight Stanley Cup contender. A 1979 archaic System Managed by a Coach who has the Acumen and Processes to adjust it on-the-Fly would make either Roster an overnight Stanley Cup Contender. See what we did there? No more blaming Players or Puck Luck or Moon Cycles or Coaches for underperforming. With todays NHL League-wide Player Asset parity an Organizations System choice and Management decisions are the defining factors in who wins and who does not win Stanley Cups. Evolve or go Extinct.
Alberta is worst
Who knew the "Battle of Alberta" would be to see who doesn't finish last.
I'd love an outdoor BOA to devolve into a street fight. I'd be a great spectical. BUT these guys are dead wrong on who's stuck in the ditch more. Connie's Calgary Carnival is an unmendable mess. Their stars aren't stars. The Oilers still have, and will have, the talent to figure things out …
In response to the question in hand, on the surface the answer isn’t so clear. But take a look at what aspirations the two Alberta teams had going into the regular season, and the Flames had wanted to at a minimum see playoff action while the Oilers had wanted to go for a Stanley Cup. It’s looking more likely neither team will this season see playoff action but rather be in the mix to pick 10th or above during the 1st round of the upcoming NHL Entry Draft should those teams sufficiently replicate their October regular-season performances.
Markstrom has been the best flame so far and it's not even close
I do understand that the Oilers have 2 of the best players in the league right now but they don't have a Stanley Cup team. The defence isn't good. Their goalie tandem isn't good. Other then their top 2 players. They are just mid or less.
Can we talk about leadership on the Oilers? This is on Leon and Connor…
The Oilers are in a better position because they have a higher end.
Only way to get the toronto sports network to talk about alberta teams is to be awful and have an outdoor game.
Coilers
Oil by a country mile.
The bottom 6 isn’t good enough
Defense is league worst. I don’t care what people say. I’ve been an oil fan for 30yrs. Peewee defense coupled with two back up tendys.
Effn shit can someone and ship
nurse packing
Shows you how tough it is to win in a canadien city. Edmonton and Calgary arent hot spots for free agents. The media is tough. The taxes are higher. Its colder. Why would u go to Edmonton when u can live it up in vegas like a stud. Its just very tough on canadian cities. Especially small market citues3. Even if they have mcdavid.
Oilers are the worst case scenario for the cap situation.
Im just hoping Oilers can make it in an ok spot till the trade deadline or trades happen.
The oilers do not have size on the 3rd and 4th line.
Mcdavid is probably more hurt then most think. He got hit in gane 2 or 3 and ran into Kane. I think it happened then.
The Oilers line changes are another story. And them playing zone defense is a joke.
But i dont want to keep typing. Thats a complete different story
Blaming the goaltenders in Edmonton is taking the blame away from the players in front of Skinner and Campbell. The other night Skinner kept them in it against New York.
