Edmonton Oilers

Discuss the Oilers, and get some lolz in at how bad Dubnyk is.

hahaah^

Lolz

I should apply, I played goalie when I was a kid haha. Actually been playing it again recently with some friends in pick up games and a bit of beer league stuff, whenever their usual goalie can't make it. It's fun getting to play a bit again.

I love how it says if you answered yes to ANY of the above questions... hahaha. Only need 1 of the 4 to apply.

Looks like Edmonton is in talks with Buffalo about either Vanek or Miller?

Even if they get either of those guys, they'd both probably leave at the end of the year to test unrestricted free agency...

Miller also has a limited NTC and can pick up to 8 teams he doesn't want to be traded to. I read that yesterday. Wouldn't be surprised if EDM was one of those 8.

Edit: And of course right after I write that, I go to TSN.ca and see an article by LeBrun that says the Oilers are one of the 8 teams... haha.

If I ever had an NTC like that, There would be 23 teams on it, take a stab at where they are lol

But really, Reimer is a ufa next year, i would like to see him traded, hopefully he can play well enough to warrant a decent prospect, dunno why edmonton wouldnt take a run at him instead of a miller, they could probably resign him to an affordable contract

I think Edmonton needs an elite goalie. Reimer is pretty average, and not what they need, IMO.

Of course they do, every team needs or wants an elite goalie lol, plu
Reimer is decent though, and would give them a chance to win most nights, and he's probably about the best that's available, dunno what other goalies would be on the market

Could go after one of Anderson/Lehner in Ottawa, Hiller/Fasth in ANA, or Harding (although he's similar to Reimer in that he's probably not good enough).

Or could always take a run at Lundqvist in the off-season... haha.

Edmonton needs some good defense even better, at least a group or a coaching staff that can implement one. A top 6 power forward would also be ideal, especially a centre. A guy like O'Rielly would be a huge boost for them. Their top 6 is all too similar of players

Even Perron's playstyle is totally new to our top 6. Someone who actually goes to dirty areas, gets in people's grills, plays a hard game... So good to see. Already well-worth Pajaarvi and a 3rd.

Super sexy tic-tac-tac-toe play against Phoenix today. Perron -> Ebs -> Schultz -> RNH back post -> Perron opposite back post for the tap-in. So good.

Big round of applause for Arcobello fucking up a chance alone 1 on 0 with Smith, and following it up with a highstick that led to the GWG.

honorary mention to him deflecting in one of their goals with his stick.

Is that CrudeDialect or someone else?

CrudeDialect. Haha.

Phil Kessel doesnt even know who the fuck richard bachman even is.
