    Yes, indeed. However if no goalie can be acquired mid-season, then this season is over and a coaching change becomes meaningless unless all of a sudden, this team learns to play differently (and with 4 different coaches, the last one being an excellent coach, they haven't).

    So that leaves the Oilers season already tanked with 30 something games to go.. if we believe that the acquisition of a goaltender alone can make the difference...?


    Teams may be reluctant to trade a goalie in-season, but if you pay enough, you'll get one. It's not like it hasn't happened before. Like Bishop going to LAK from Tampa for a first rounder one year, in recent memory.

    It's not impossible, I agree. To be fair, Mike Smith really hasn't been healthy enough to get into a groove yet either so for all they know, their answer could also be in the room in Smith. That's being optimistic but not unrealistic.

    Hearing you talk about how Mike Smith might get into a groove when he’s healthy is like listening to someone in an abusive relationship trying to justify staying in it.

    Maybe this is what Pulj need to get his game. Ya he’s young but he’s been all over the place in terms of deployment and confidence. Top line winger with McD is what this kid is made for.

    If anyone still thinks that Tippett should not have been let go, you might want to read this quote from Warren Foegele today:

    Warren Foegele: “With Woody (Woodcroft) here, there is a huge amount of direction and detail and it makes a huge difference when everyone knows what we are doing.”

    As am I. They look much better defensively and it was refreshing to see the team concede the 1st goal but manage to win the game.

    Surprised that Edmonton is still using Bouchard and Nurse on PP1 over Barrie.

    Why not just send Barrie down to the minors if you aren't gonna use him in the only role he has excelled in for almost a decade...

    Another sign that Woodcroft is a much better coach than Dave Tippett:

    Devin Shore - 2:57 of ice time and zero minutes after the 4 minute mark of the 2nd period and this is after being a healthy scratch for Woodcroft's first two games.

    I don't see how this proves anything about who's a better coach.

    Because Devin Shore is, by many accounts, one of the worst players who has played regularly in the NHL in the past 3 seasons and Dave Tippett still played him more than a lot of his much better forwards.
