Yah, Oilers still living the dream of Gretzsky and Messier days, jut get 2 superstars and everything will work itself out. But back then, the rest of the roster performed too ... and they had Grant Fuhr!

Look at Toronto. how much of their cap is spent on Matthews, Taveres, Marner and Reiley.

There were 3-4 seasons in the 80's where the Oilers had 4-5 guys every year with over 100 points... when Gretzky hit over 200 a couple times... lol

What a difference between now and then.

Messier wasn't even a big points guy actually... Coffey and Kurri were always ahead of him.

What an absolute disaster not doing everything in your power to sign Markstrom

Like fuck, even give him term to lessen the cap hit and just pray it works out. Friedman on the radio today was like yeap, after goal 1 I felt like the game was lost

I watched the whole EDM FLA game... they didn't even play bad, they outshot FLA more than 2 to 1... got unlucky on a bunch of bounces and chances... but their defense is shit, they back in against attacking forwards, giving guys like Barkov all day to snipe from the hashmarks... and in their own zone the forwards aren't moving their feet, just reaching with sticks. Took stupid penalties too.

Koskinen was neither terrible or great. 3 of the goals were scored in the last 5 minutes of the game.

This should be an interesting game for the Canucks lol

Juice & Louuuuu :fuckyea:

I mean it's not like they don't deserve the money. But maybe in some ways, this is actually a double edge sword when you have 2 of the best players in the league. Gotta give them what they're worth.. but it might jeopardize building a complete team. Shut down 2 guys and the whole team folds.

Looks like this is gonna be a long night...

Oilers goalie Smith on IJ, Nugent-Hopkins on LTIR ... now they have some $$ room for a goalie ... who or what is available?

If you asked me, should have traded Nugent-Hopkins when his stock was high for a goalie. If only they went all in for Markstrom.

Damn! Barkov with the winner.

Oh well, the team gets a point. A decent result
Considering that Bo, Miller, and Demko are not playing tonight.

We got a point, I'm more than happy

Still better than the Oilers against the Panthers lol

No one is hyping up Spencer Martin as the next Demko? ...haha
