I can give it a try since I went to the salt mines on HF after the Holland presser:

Around the league report

Spoiler!

Too little too late

Should be a PGT because every time this walking circus speaks we lose.

He’s been sleeping well till last night?

Sounds like that 3rd period against Chicago where the players looked like they completely gave up pushed this decision.

Too bad it was 10 - 15 games of the players looking like that to wake Holland's gut up

Holland is unintelligible man.

He's way past his prime. Please Mr. Katz, give us Keith Gretzky.

He doesn't have the answer but he said the ANSWER IS IN THE ROOM back in January lol

Forgot to fire his pro scouts and his goalie coach.

This man seriously lacks either speaking skills or brain cells.

“In the room”.

f*** off Holland.

Gut feeling

Yeah lol a gut feeling of "oh #### I'm going to get fired in the spring if we don't make the playoffs".

Gut feel count: 7


8???

His gut feelings are the reason the team doesn't have a strong analytics department.

I think we all had that "gut feeling" a few months ago

“Gut feeling” will be added to “Bold moves” “Somethings in the water” “Craigs on it” and the rest of infamous Oiler quotes in our Book of Lore.

Holland stumbling and stuttering in an effort to avoid admitting the pressure came from above. His "gut feeling" is probably the pain after someone punched him in the belly and coerced him to fire Tippett.

LOL Hope is not a strategy.

Same as 'gut feeling'.

Well I am glad that 'gut feeling' trumped the fact that we have won what, about 5 of the last 30 games or so.

I believe this guy is still the highest paid gm in the league. What a total travesty.

Detroit

He never fired a coach in Detroit, so it will be hard for him to compare this to his time there. But he'll try.

Hahaha there we go "In Detroit"

Considering the Detroit model is to stumble into a few late-round hall of famers, ???, Cups, I'm not shocked.

Tippet Extension

Jeepers creepers, Holland said he was hoping to be signing Tippett to an extension in a few months and Woodcroft would bloom into an NHL coach either here or elsewhere.

f*** me with a cactus.

Holland sounds like he wants to cry that his dream of signing Tippett to an extension didn't happen.

This sign Tippet to an extension thing--please tell me he did not say that? This is just another internet joke?

Goaltending

lol at that 10 second pause before answering the goaltending question.

hes pumping up mikkos tires here , guarantee hes trying to trade him ASAP

Actions speak louder than words, Kenny. You had 2 1/2 years to shore up the goaltending and as of right now this team is arguably worse than when you took over for Chiarelli.

The apologists

To be fair we did make the playoffs with Tippett and at the start of the year looked like we might be the best team in the league.

Overall the team has improved the last few years, HOWEVER, you have arguably the best two players on this planet in their prime.

It sickens me the waste that has happened. I so hope they quickly buy into a Woodcroft system. I don’t even know his system, but as long as they play ANY system it will be a huge improvement

Kassian

Punched himself.

Everyone has been bad under tippitt this year.

With a blank slate, he could be an effective bottom sixer for the team in a system that isn't so focused on passive hockey.

This and that

"Up and down like a toilet seat."

"Chasing da game" is the new Oilers buzz word.

"How do you think we improve this team?"

"Start to win. Play with the lead."

Wow. The insight.

Holland looks and sounds like a guy who just killed someone being interrogated by the police for killing someone.

He just killed Tippett's and Playfair's coaching careers so there is that.

I honestly don't even know why you guys bother. I'd rather listen to a crowd of vuvuzelas.

The next time I glean anything from an Oilers press conference will be the first.

Isn’t 100% sure who is coaching Bakersfield.

Jesus f***ing Christ it’s worse than I thought.

There's no camera angle of it, but there are 16 people at the presser on the floor due to hypoxia. Ken just sucking all the oxygen out of the room. They come to a little bit when he drinks water, but then bam, zoinked out again. Shame really.

f*** off Jim you clown. I don't give a #### if they had 100 coaches in 12 years. If it takes 100 coaches to find the best coach then so be it.

we are not winning we are not meeting expectations

NO #### SHERLOCK

PS: sorry Gaskal, I took your shift at the salt mine.
