The wonder twins already look like their give-a-crap metre is at 0. Their supporting cast are barely AHL-calibre, and their goaltending is sub-par at best. This is not a contender by any stretch.

I didn't think they'd do it two years in a row, but it was easier in year two. Thankfully FLA was even better the 2nd time around.

Boo Boo is -3 to start season. On pace for a -48 finish, should be enough for the green jacket.

I thought the exact same last year and look how that turned out. I still think 2024 was their peak though.

Another hockey expert also thinks they need another top 6 forward………holy moly.
Is there anyone in that fan base that has any hockey knowledge?

There is the odd intelligent poster over there as witnessed by this post.
I can't believe how stupid this organization is for refusing to give Brown 3 mill for 4 years but instead gave Frederic 4 mill for 8 years. Another one of the deaths by 1000 cuts in the Mcdavid era.

Brown scoring a breakaway shorty was delish.

It’s like when you go into Dollarama with a gift card that you found. You grab the first thing you see and a few cheap items and before you know it, the Mavi discount card has been spent and you didn’t really get anything that you needed.

Well the Oilers should get a win today as the Red. Wings are starting John Gibson who is 1-1 with a goals against average north of 3 instead of the much more reliable Cam Talbot who is 4-0 on the season.

I'm thinking McPissy signed a cheap deal in order to tank the team and get traded to a cup contender sometime around Christmas!!

Watching Draisaitl overskate the puck on a breakaway with the game on his stick was hilarious,.

Fun Coiler facts:
McTantrum has zero goals so far this season.
The Deutschbagger has exactly one even strength point so far this season.
The best two players in the 🌎 😂

Was a good theory but you didn’t consider the Oilers had to play a goalie too.
4-2 Wings.

Also, Doosh Bomb has zero points. What is he good for if he’s not scoring? He is known for his defensive play, but obviously for the wrong reasons…

$768k paid already. For 0 points and a dozen egregious turnovers.
