You boys make me sick! Yuck! It's almost embarassing to see you guys get your aszes handed to you over and over again! I went into this season with 100% of my cheering directed towards you guys, but really, what has that gotten me? Nothing. I could be cheering for calgary... they win some games.... I could cheer for toronto... they win some games... fact is, I'M NOT CHEERING FOR THE OILERS FOR THE REST OF THIS SEASON!

you cant give up on the oilers, its 7-0 right now which sucks real bad but im not gonna bash em after 9 games. :dunno:
by the way we need a damn goalie!!!!!!!! |

| little_one_der |
Give up too easy? When is it easy enough? 5-0... FIVE TO NOTHING. Come on now. They [Oilers] have sunk to just going out on the ice to pick fights. I personaly see that as a BAD image toward Edmonton. "Edmonton, go there to beat them, then get beat down..."
I did have faith that the Oil would win tonight but...
Hey Mark this is not a threat or anything like that, it's more of a joke, but I'm not sure about going to games and trading teams in the middle because I can't honestly say that I've shelled out the cash to go see a game.
And just to clarify, this thread is just a joke/slash rant, so don't anyone take it seriously now...
Oh look laraque is fighting again...

I have to wonder what the hell was Kevin Lowe thinking?
"Gee, we got us here a team that would get out scored by a bantam B2 team. Why don't we.... add a defenseman! YEAH! and a defensive forward too! WOOHOO"
We need somebody who can score goals to win, period. |

There is always so much hype before the season starts about how good the team is. This is not 20 years ago, the team isn't good, even with the additions of Peca and Pronger because they aren't what the team needs now, or even needed before the season started. I know it is still early in the season but the Oilers need an overhaul before its to late. |

Yeah, I don't know what's going on with the Oilers this year. Usually, they come out of the gate hot, and then wait till January-February to start sucking, and then crawl into the playoffs on their knees to get crushed by the eventual Stanley Cup winner.
Perhaps this year they just decided to beat the holiday rush and start sucking now........... |

| Kevin Lowe sucks as a GM. We need to dump Conklin... the truth is out-he is a bust! We need a scoring forward. Otherwise the Oilers are a 3rd rate team. |

Although a new coach and GM may be a good choice, I don't think that's the only part to the Oilers problem. Like any sports team, it's really easy to blame the coach rather than the players. Personally, think that some goal scorers and a decent goaltender would do wonders for the Oilers, much more than changing a coach or GM. Their problems are with lack of goalscoring and terrible goaltending. Fix those, and if the team is still performing poorly, then replace the coach. |

I don't think there's anything wrong with nabbing Pronger as he's a franchise type player, but even look at the Leafs. They had more offensive talent than us, and they stocked up with Allison and Lindros. The Flames had Iginila and added Amonte for some extra help. Vancouver has Naslund and Bert. Colorado has Sakic/Tanguay/Hedjuk. Even Minnesota atleast has Gaborik. LA has Roenick/Demitra. I think the only two teams in the NHL that are worse off than us in terms of scoring are the blackhawks and the hurricanes, and atleast the blackhawks have good goaltending! |

I understand what you are saying. Like I said the team needs an overhaul, and I think they should start with the coacdh and GM. You are right though a goallie adn a couple of guys who can score are more important right now.

I agree, like I said Pronger and Peca are great players. The money would have been much better spent on someone who can score goals. Also something better then back up goalies would have been nice too. I don't know why Kevin lowe went the way he did, maybe he couldn't get any other big names besides those two. Hopefully things take a turn for the better soon. They have alot of road games comeing up, see what happens.
Overall im happy though, my Senators are the best in the league!:thumbup: |

... I'm sick of all this "oh we'll come around" bull shit. There are some major problems with the Oilers orginzation as a whole.
1st - Loyalty to the boys on the bus.
I'll all for nostaglia and sure they put our city on the map. They were awesome players but they haven't proven them selves as coaches. What has MacT, Craig Simpson and Kevin Lowe accomplished as coaches? Nothing. The fans were right to Boo the oilers off the ice last night. Its time to clean up the ranks and get an experienced coach, and a wayyyyyy better PP coach then Simson. There was some talk on the sports net fourms of trying to get Sutter from Red Deer, wouldn't that spice up the battle of alberta? I'm not saying we need to replace Kevin Lowe as GM, he has been soild for us in the past but has made some errors recently which leads me to my second point.
2nd - The signing of Peca.
In the "NEW" NHL the game is all about offence and putting pucks in the net. So why did we sign an expensive checking foward!?! We lowballed Paul Karia, couldn't sign Nedved or Whitney and didn't make much of an attempt to sign anyone else. We need somone who can put pucks in the net! We were banking on Horcoff, Hemsky and Stoll all to have break out seasons. They started off with some promise but recently have been struggling. We also sent our best Jr. Prospect back into the OHL where Schremp has scored 32 points in his last 7 games. If we're having problems putting pucks in the net why not bring him up for a shot at the big boys? As long as he plays less then 10 NHL games this season we don't have to pay his NHL contract, who knows maybe the kid will impress and earn his way onto the team the hard way.
3rd - Goaltending
Our goaltending sucks period and we're not doing anything to solve the situation. We need to pick a guy and go with him. Switching our goalies in and out is doing absoloutly nothing for their confidince. Pick a number 1!! Conks sucks there is no denying that, Jussi has had moments of glory but has been hung out to dry by our defence core to many times. If we want any chance of being successful this year we need a soild goalie who is going to stand on his head night after night. We had that in Cujo, and most of the time with Salo. Sign a goalie!!!
All in all we need a goalie and somone who can put the puck in the net or we're gonna come in 11th or 12 again this year.

Rob Schremp is an Oilers draft pick who has scored 32 points in his 7 games so far in the OHL. He was one of the last cuts before the season started, just because we have to many shitty players signed to one way contracts and if we send them back to the AHL we still have to pay their NHL salaries.

I used to believe that BS about the Oilers being a small market team, couldn't afford good players, had to stick to a small payroll, blah, blah, blah. But, then last season (2 years ago), the Ottawa Senators (with a smaller payroll than the Oilers) took Jersey all the way to game 7 of the semis, proving that you don't need a big budget. You need a good coaching staff and management who knows how to pick players.
Like somebody else here said, the Oilers need to stop living in the past with the Boys on the Bus, clean house and get some people in here who know how to build a winning combination. This "it's a building year" garbage has got to stop. Other teams have gone from the bottom to the top and back to the bottom again, in the time that the Oilers keep repeating that it's a building year. |

Players leave the NHL for the lifestyle, which means that money may not be enough to tempt him back....
Plus I would imagine Salo is old enough he would be an unrestricted free agent as well. |

lol conklin got sent to the minors today....GOOD... personally i saw morrison (sp?) in the preseason and hes pretty decent...i also heard that the if the goalie situAtion is not solved they might trade 3 of these 4 laraque, cross, semenov and rita....for kolzig...but that could be BS...kolzig is pricey IMO and hes not playing great this season.....
(p.s. i too am disgusted with the oilers.)

This loss was not Markannins fault.
Ulanov gave the puck away for one goal
Devorak put one in his own net
Two oilers screened Markannin on the game winning goal, which could have been prevented if someone would clear the puck instead of watching it slide to an Ave
I say start looking for a new coach |

_________________________________________________ _________
The Oilers, on the other hand, are in desperate need of a roster fix.
Expectations were high in Edmonton with GM Lowe's off-season additions of all-star defenseman Chris Pronger and two-way forward Mike Peca, but the Oilers are presently mired in a six-game losing skid, thanks to poor goaltending and a lack of offense.
That led to rumors over the past week that Lowe was planning to shake things up. There's talk he contacted the Buffalo Sabres about either Martin Biron or Mika Noronen and the Washington Capitals about Olaf Kolzig.
In addition to Lowe's supposed interest in Havlat, it's been rumored he might dump struggling tough-guy forward Georges Laraque and perhaps even make a pitch for New Jersey Devils center Viktor Kozlov.
With a payroll of just over $32 million Lowe has plenty of salary cap room to perhaps bring in more expensive help, but it's believed Oilers ownership wants to keep that payroll under $35 million.
Biron comes with a $2.12 million contract but has experience as a starting goalie, although it's debatable if he'd be a significant upgrade over current Oilers starter Ty Conklin. Noronen's $660K salary would be more affordable, but he's seen as a backup, not a starter, and hasn't played a game yet this season.
Kolzig has long been considered one of the NHL's elite netminders but he's struggled with a rebuilding Capitals team the past two seasons and comes with a very pricey $4.94 million contract.
The Caps aren't expected to do well this season, so they have nothing to lose and everything to gain by dealing Kolzig. They'd likely want at least a good roster player and a promising prospect in return. To achieve that, they might do as they're rumored to be doing with defenseman Brendan Witt; waiting until later in the season to improve his trade value.
As for Kozlov, it's believed the Devils won't consider moving him until forward Patrik Elias returns to the lineup, which would then necessitate their dealing one or two players to free up salary cap room. A report in Monday's New York Post suggests Elias may not be ready to return until possibly December, which might be too long for Lowe to wait if he's truly interested in obtaining Kozlov.
Should the Oilers struggles continue in the coming weeks, expect them to pop up a lot in the rumor mill.

Figures:mad: . I have been so unimpressed with Pronger so far, I say we throw him in with a package deal for a goal scorer. Did anybody watch the Montreal game right before the Oilers? The oilers play so sloppy, it was refreshing to watch a team make hard, clean passes to each other. I think the Oilers should wait for a while before they deal with the goaltending situation. Both Jussi, and Conklin have proven themselves before, if they can get their confidence back we'll be good to go. If Conklin is still playing like crap when he comes back, then deal with it.
Ulanov made one hell of a mistake tonight, but the way he plays his game, he'll be so hard on himself, he'll probably be their most reliable defenseman for the rest of the road trip. |

of being beaten by his parents and the judge awarded custody to his
aunt. The boy confirmed that his aunt beat him more than his parents and
refused to live there. When the judge suggested that he live with his
grandparents the boy cried out that they beat him more than anyone. In
an unprecedented court ruling, the judge dramatically allowed the boy to
choose who should have custody of him. Custody was granted to the

of being beaten by his parents and the judge awarded custody to his
aunt. The boy confirmed that his aunt beat him more than his parents and
refused to live there. When the judge suggested that he live with his
grandparents the boy cried out that they beat him more than anyone. In
an unprecedented court ruling, the judge dramatically allowed the boy to
choose who should have custody of him. Custody was granted to the
CALGARY FLAMES this morning as the boy firmly believes that they are
not capable of beating anyone......
I just had to pass this one on......

Every cowboy sings a sad sad song. When it comes to the Oilers it is more of a wait and see magic kinda thrill. The thrill envolves facing the hard times "Losses and losing streaks"
they always make playoffs so dont freak out over a few losses lol
this comming from a hockey dumbass rofl. |

Awesome showing by the Oilers last night. their offence seems to be really clicking the last 4 games (19goals). Lets just hope they don't have a let down game becuase they are playing the shitty Blues. But i don't think so since its going to be Pronger's first game against his old team.
GO OILERS GO!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Pronger really hasn't done shit this season, same as Peca. They were supposed to be stepping up as leaders in this team, what happened?:dunno: |

i agree Peca hasn't done anything offensively but he is still one of the best face-off men in the league and does do a fairly good job on the PK and defensive zone coverage. ( this is what he was known for before he came not as a scorer )
As for Pronger he's still adjusting to the new NHL which doesn't allow for clutching, grabbing and the use of stick work which is his style of hockey. He was never a great skater or puck handler. He uses his size as a grinder and moves people out from in front of the net and he can also log alot of ice time. you also have to admit the PP looks alot better with him on the Point. |

Peca is a good face off man but thats all he is. He also shouldnt watch where his passes go:D
As for Pronger, he is doing great on PP and lets not forget his two assists against the wings.
And YAY, good job by the oilers to beat the blues today and continue their winning streak. |

Not really. He's a great passer, but a better shooter, and having him on the left where he isn't properly set up for a shot is a waste. Bergeron is a good player, but Pronger's shot is much harder. |

i agree with you about Pronger's shot , he has a canon for a shot but doesn't let it fly and i just don't know why. But i still think he is affective at the point becuase he brings a calm to the PP whereas before they would just hurry the passes and not set up properly, either way the PP looks pretty good lately. |
