Looks like Hitchcock has run out of ideas...

Looks like full team practice, Hitchcock sitting in stands watching. Battle drills to start.

A Chicago writer had this: Four Playoff Bubble Teams that Need to Sell. And at #4, yes, it's the Edmonton Oilers, with the lead sentence: "They need to do something to fix this mess."

Hitch has a set # of times he has to stand in his contract. This is like his CBA mandated break.

Maybe he is waiting to retrieve Gulutzan's temper tantrum stick throw.

I assume Gulutzan is running the practice then. Wouldn't be funny if he threw his stick again, and it hit Hitch. Just joking of course.

Edit: I was too slow. Surelossed!

Hey Holland & McCrimmon, you can work for Bruckheimer & Leiweke in Seattle or the troll doll in Edmonton.

If you are aspiring to the GM role as a long term career move, Edmonton is about the last place you would entertain!

begs the question of which is the real Koskinen? the first half of his NHL career or the back half?

That contract has aged badly in the last 3 weeks

McCurdy was on 1260 earlier this morning.
Listed 4 players acquired this season totaling approx 10M in cap space who were either healthy scratches last night or in the AHL

I love how one of the replies to that tweet blames the Oilers goaltending coach. Yeah, that's the problem!

I wonder if that's because players have been able to get game film on him and are being coached on how he can be scored on.

15 days ago. 15 days.

And it was a deal that simply didnt have to be done at this point......or that point....or ANY point during the season.

The value that club places on unproven and mediocre players is unrivaled in pro sports imo. Its not the McDavid/Draisaitl/RNH deals that are the problem for that team, but its is literally almost every other contract they have doled out or dealt for.

Mind boggling and difficult to achieve.

The funny part is the Koskinen deal technically hasn’t even started.
