    The only forces stronger in Edmonton than the Schwartz are nepotism, cronyism and incompetence.

    Honestly It's crazy how incompetent the Oilers organization has been over the last what 15 years? They have gotten 4 1st overall picks, and two top 5 picks. Some organizations such as the Canucks have never selected 1st overall, yet in all this time and good fortune, including one of the picks being perhaps the greatest hockey player ever, their still a dumpster fire.

    I have no sympathy for this organization.

    Don't worry. No one wants sympathy from someone who cheers for a team that has never won a Stanley Cup!

    Drai has 2 years including this one and McDavid has 3 years left including this one. Something’s gotta give because obviously those 2 want to win and they know the Oiler window is closing. I hope they can right this ship or they will lose the dynamic duo to FA.

    What has to give is those two and a shit about defence because they haven't yet in nearly a decade together.

    Schwartz won't be going anywhere if it's up to Knoblauch. The two of them were teammates for years at the University of Alberta.

    Is there a statue of limitations on this sort of thing? It's been over thirty years, I don't know how long you get to brag about that.

    Eternity!

    The Oilers could lose every single game until the heat death of the Universe and still be 5 time Cup Champions!
