i dont post here often and am mostly a lurker but i feel i need to weigh in...
...for the first time in recent memory, an Oiler coach benched(healthy scratched) a player in Justin Schultz. This was a big step for Dallas Eakins. I have noticed that in post game interviews Mr. Eakins always says a smilier slew of words "we got off to a great start but THEY...We had the momentum but THEY...it was competitive but THEY.." there is no accountability. It doesn't matter what THEY do. The only thing that matters is what YOU/US/WE do and how YOU/US/WE respond and adapt to the play. There has been limited to no accountability from him or his players. It doesn't matter if your Hall, Eberle, RNH or the little ginger minion announcing names at the draft...its on the oilers as an organization to utilize the talent you have, without a doubt been given, and start winning. its on you to try and win and not rely everyone else to play sub-par hockey and lose.

as a fan...im waiting for a draft pick to pull a lindros and refuse. if i was a top 3 pick to the coilers i would refuse to play and do my best to be waived by all 30 teams and re enter the draft the following year.
