Apparently Jesper’s blocking style didn’t fit the Oilers style of play, so they weren’t interested in drafting him.

Another reason Schwartz should be fired, but I think they should sign him to a new contract.
What was it about his blocking style they didn’t like? Was it the part where he was blocking pucks from going in the net? Because that does seem to be something Edmonton avoids in their goalies.

First time in a long time that Mark Spector hasn’t tweeted about tonight’s game.

Just wondering, whatever happened to the "new coach" bump? Shouldn't they rack up multiple games winning streak after hiring a new coach?

Probably wasn't feeling up to being challenged/called out by every one with half a brain after inevitably posting some wafting hot take. Blocking that many people is a lot of work.

Osmak on sportsnet made a point in the highlights to say Mcbaby got taken down on the fourth goal and there was no call. Watched it closer- he lost a puck battle and fell down. I am enjoying the misery of all the oilers shills that work for SN as much as I’m enjoying the misery of the oilers.

They got a new coach bounce. They've gone 2-3 instead of 0-5.

The oilers defence on that fifth goal is worse than my son’s atom team defence. At least one 10 year-old knows to cover the kid in front.

I watched the replay. Wasn’t even close to being called a penalty.

Frank Seravalli was still bumbling about them having a good chance as recent as two days ago.. What a dope.

Having McDavid doesn't guarantee playoffs against odds that are well supported. It just guarantees a couple guys have a lot of points and big minus totals to match.

I already don’t like knoblauch because he looks like old Jordan binnington. Though anybody is better than smug woodcroft.
