All joking aside, if we don't have at least 10 points by 5 pm Sunday afternoon, somebody is getting moved or the boot on Monday morning!

Will give you Stajan and Jagr for McDavid. It's the best thing. Trust me.

the trade talk is interesting. Who are you trading and who would be a buyer. If they are buying you are not getting anything good as who is selling players right now? AVS? Duchene will cost a pretty piece and I dont see those players being asked for in the oil system. Not to mention salary cap.

Oilers need to pull up on those reins hard themselves. No one is going to help them out.

I am actually leaning more to a potential firing as opposed to a trade.

Chiarelli is all but disappeared since the start of the season. His focus during the off season was signing McDavid and Draisaitl, and it is like he forgot about the rest of the line-up. There were quality d-man and forwards available this off season and some them a hell of a lot better then Jokinen at about the same money; Cammalleri, Stafford are couple that come to mind. Hell Iggy would be at least picking up a couple goals. He knew Sekera was out for at least 2 months and did nothing to address the top 4.

And McLellan is not doing his job. Never really like his hiring as he is always the bridesmaid, and never the bride. Doesn't seem to handle pressure very well in the post season. His post game interviews are disgusting with comments like "we were 1 power play away from a win" or 1 PK away from a win". This was a team that was suppose to dominate, not squeak by with 1 goal wins. And the unfortunate part is that he has the whole team believing they have to maintain the same course and it will eventually turn around.

Right now they are at least 7 points behind with 5 other teams ahead of them for the last wildcard spot. 16 games left in November. Even if they go 800 and pick up 25 point, the 5 other teams will all have to be below 500 for the Oilers to be in the last wild card spot by American Thanksgiving. What a terrible start to an awesome season.

Go Oilers Go!

Oilers had a great game tonight, and got a well deserved win. Good to see some scoring from secondary lines, and from Klefbom.

Now, having said that, I'm not one to buy into coincidences much, and I made a pretty obvious connection on this win and something that happened today. A really good friend of mine, and a life long and die hard Oilers fan went for his annual prostate exam today (for real), and I just think that maybe there is a strong connection there with the win. You know, getting out of the hole, so to speak.

So, if the die hard Oilers fans really want to see their team keep on winning games like this, I have to ask......

Who is willing to take one for the Team?

OK, but I was just about to mention that Bessie could close his eyes and pretend he'd been abducted by Aliens if it made it any easier....anyway, it was a good win tonight for them.

We need an effort like that every night. Still need to clean up a little in the defensive zone. There was a few too many loose and bouncing pucks infront of Talbot that the Devils could scored a garbage goal or 2.
