🏒🥅🇨🇦🏆SLOW START? WHO CARES?
My concern is the leadership grow play and behave like leaders. This may take some time. If they do, they’ll win. No doubt“Learn to play patient and safe when needed. They’ve done it in previous seasons. They were unable to find any momentum last season, really at any point, and I guarantee the veterans will remind teammates of that when the preseason begins.”

🏒🥅🇨🇦🏆 LINEUPS?
Lots of wishful thinking about how the Oilers lineup to start the season. Most seem to be overlooking that GM and new coach have been very clear about playing the McDrai “nuclear option” regularly. This is nothing new. But it does ask the question about the wing on that top line, and every other line below.
Is this what it might look like?
Howard-McD-Drai
Podz-RNH-Hyman
Kapanen-Dickinson-Frederic
Dach-Samanski-JosephAnd, how long before the new coach’s historical practice of running four lines falls prey to the blender, to heavier reliance on the “nuclear option?”
Things will only become clear in October. Until then, we’re all “smoking the drapes,” as Lowetide puts it.ps. I’m hearing lots of familiar words (balance playing time, responsible play, four lines, identity). And magical thinking that these things have a different meaning with a new coach. Oct in Oilerville will be interesting.

@buffaloseven @caffeinatedgeek @mike @tedzanzibar D corps were not the problem for Skinner (or Ingram, Jarry, Pickard). F group not playing 200 feet, that was the problem. There were moments last year when that was not the case. Nov 25-Dec 26. In his last five games for Oilers, when F group played as they can, Skinner was .943SV% (5v5).
So yes, his ceiling is high. Plus, he doesn’t take it personally when his team bails on him. The guy has an amazing mental toughness. Super under-appreciated in Oilerville. Penguins fans and writers seemed to have liked him, from what I saw. Good luck in Winnipeg, Stu!🏒🥅🇨🇦🏆 #letsgoOilers #Oilers #nhl #stanleycup #hockey #hnom #yeg #edmonton #goalies @hnom

💰 NEW: Having locked up Cale Makar 🏒 for life, Colorado Avalanche GM Joe Sakic now needs to do Cale another solid: Find him about three or four more Logan O'Connors, ASAP. The @DenverPost explains why: 👇

@ryan2one3 Just seeing this as I search #Oilers commentary (because: end of August).
As I said earlier, I believe McD (among others who’ve invited MB into the fold) will thrive. His 200-ft performance was an embarrassment last year. He covered by allowing goalies to take the blame, then blamed coaching. He (& others) have a lot to prove, with —not against— new coach. I expect an internal McD v Drai competition for Selke. If one of them actually wins Selke, they’ll both be hoisting the Cup.🏒🥅🇨🇦🏆 #letsgoOilers #nhl #stanleycup #hockey #hnom #yeg #edmonton @hnom

🏒🥅🇨🇦🏆 That was painful, reliving the agony of impatience that was last fall in Oilerville, a memory triggered by a couple of Lowetide’s comments. These were subsidiary to his main point. But they underline what I’m reading and hearing, every day here in Oilerville. There’s a lot of magical thinking about the coaching change.
My question: Whatever the coach asks for, demands, insists on, how will team leadership respond?
Maybe there’s enough embarrassment and desperation on the part of team leaders this year, to pull the team through? Certainly, the embarrassments of mid-Nov last fall seemed to shock the group into excellence —but only for a month. For 13 games they had the fourth best NHL WIN%, 10th best SV% (.922, 5v5).
There is, again, a lot of change, with not much time to gel. I’m wishin’ & hopin’ there’s more patience in Oilerville this fall than there was last fall.
I wait.

🏒🥅🇨🇦🏆 THE NHL COACHING CHURN
Q is an outlier. NHL average is about three years, last time I looked. Oilers, 2+.
I don’t know how this rate of churn helps build organizational stability. I’m pretty sure it doesn’t.
I do think Q’s time in Chicago speaks to the value, from a Cup-winning perspective, of letting coach and team go through the inevitable ups and downs without threat of firing.
But that requires organizational (and, especially, owner) patience. And especially in hockey-mad/obsessive/fanatic markets.
I imagine the tenure of coach Mike Babcock will be short, here in Oilerville. Regardless of any Cup success. More churn.
I’m very curious to watch coach and wunderkind Martin St-Louis and the Habs over the next few years#coaching #letsgoOilers #Oilers #habs #nhl #stanleycup #hockey #hnom #yeg #edmonton #montreal @hnom

🏒🥅🇨🇦🏆 THE GHOST OF SAM POLLOCK LIVES IN OILERVILLE!
What a glorious Sunday morning read! Lowetide may say he hates Sam with the youthful hatred of one who saw a former Bruins’ property come to the Gardens to stone his beloved 1971 team. But the way he “marbles” him through his writings and ruminations – it makes this 70s Hab fan happy!
Today Sam Pollock is the spiritual father of GMGS Glen Sather.
Surely, Misha D, being born in Montreal under the sign of yet another ‘70s Cup, bodes well for the man. And by extension, the Oilers.Hurrah for the ghost of Sam, somehow still pulling strings in the NHL!

🏒🥅🇨🇦🏆 HOCKEY, MONEY, CUPS
Montreal. They are the other template. They have an emerging and large elite corps signed for win-friendly contracts for 5-8 years.
Let’s see how the two models (get rich v get Cup) play out over the next five years.
McD isn’t here in Oilerville for the money. As long as there’s a good chance to win the Cup, I believe he’s with Drai and Bouch. That chance to win gets better as so many other teams deal with the “get rich” model.Montreal will win multiple Cups in the next decade. Oilers, a couple. The get rich players? Not so many.

🏒🥅🇨🇦🏆 Well then, challenge your buddy Connor to a Selke competition. The sooner you two play 200 feet, the sooner you get your name on the Cup(s). And don’t go blaming coaches or goalies if you won’t commit to Selke.

🏒🥅🇨🇦🏆 What I’ve been saying for some time. McDrai should compete for Selke. Then, Cups will come.
“In almost 50 years, no Edmonton Oiler has won the Selke Trophy as the NHL’s best defensive forward. Maybe the individual award that matters most this year is the one the team has never won. Maybe, then, the Oilers will win this year’s Stanley Cup.”

🏒🥅🇨🇦 McDrai are “searing talents” when it comes to on-ice behaviour. They are not, however, talents as off-ice leaders.
That’s not their fault. It’s the fault of an organization that decides to give a kid a man’s job, then doesn’t give him training or support to grow into the job. This is costing the Oilers.
Leadership is more than heroics. It’s certainly more than blaming coach and team for a failure to play the way they know they must play to win. McDrai did this. They’ve now put this on a new coach: hold us accountable.
The team is good, maybe better than the last two seasons. Will the new coach bench the fans’ heroes, esp the owner’s golden goose? Will McDrai do for this coach, consistently, what they wouldn’t for the last coach? We shall see.#letsgoOilers #Oilers #nhl #stanleycup #hockey #hnom #yeg #edmonton #leadership @hnom

Eric Robinson grew up playing hockey in Jersey with Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau and was coached by their dad, Guy.
Years later, he brought the #StanleyCup back to where it all started, giving Coach Guy the chance to hoist it. ❤️
