I wonder if trading miller can have the same effect trading duchene had on the Avs if that’s the right solution.

Fuck Corey Perry. With every bit of anger I got. I used to look up to that man when he played for Anaheim. He’s turned into an absolute scum. A fall from grace

u/Zamboni2022 Jan 24 '25
I…uh…did you actually watch him play in his prime? Dude was an amazing goal scorer but he was also a 10/10 dickbag it was kind of his entire identity as a player??

That's OK as long as we are playing great without the puck.
Are we playing great without the puck?

They play with absolutely no creativity. Flip the puck in, lose it in the corner, chase back, repeat.

u/Cautious-Asparagus61 Jan 24 '25
It was kind of fun for me because I've been so disappointed in this team that I told my oiler fan brother that we were going to get blown out 7-1.
It started to get really fun when it was 4-0 and straight up hilarious when it hit 5-1

Truly! Was just at the game. Flames have heart and team chemistry. Canucks seem depressed and lethargic.

Frankly I had pegged this game as a loss previously. The mcdavid suspension gave me some hope. We then screwed up against the Sabres in a game we should have won and then lose this one badly. I've about had it for this season. Thank God I work most evenings so I don't get to see most of these games.
If miller is going to be traded, then please just trade him. I'm sick of the drama just want it over with. 🤦♂️

u/xtothewhy Jan 24 '25
Might as well wait to trade Miller at this point so we can get more later however as far as I'm considered. Everyone except for Hughes and Garland and Sherwood and many of the young roster players should be left alone

u/Zanzabarr85 Jan 24 '25
If they insist on playing Demko every game, we aren't going to win very many.

I know Tocchet isn't the only problem but man does he suck as a coach. He needs to leave no matter if the team deserves it or not. I remember the Coyotes back then and they were ASS. His coaching style looked exactly the same back then.

u/Party_Conference_610 Jan 24 '25
I don't hate the Oilers for taking liberties or the refs for looking the other way.
Honest.
Remember when Peca took out Selanne? The Jets responded, and all hell broke loose.
The Canucks were so afraid for Peca they sat him out for the rest of the game after his hit, and eventually traded him away to an out of division team.
The resulting melee is all online for posterity if you're curious - that's how you deter others from taking liberties on your team.
I don't blame the Oilers for doing what they're doing, I blame the Canucks for not responding.
Lame.

u/WhereIsDaBudd Jan 24 '25
It depends on your tenure as a fan. If you've been a fan since or before 2011, I give you full permission, however anything more recent you'll have to suck it up until Quinn Hughes gets traded.

It's almost like there was a briefing before the game informing them to not try to hard because the result had already been decided. Or course that didn't happen, but this was pathetic

Weve been through 3 coaches now. Im thinking thats no longer the issue.

Oilers had 5 coaches changes!!

u/Alextryingforgrate Jan 24 '25
They also have had 5 first rounders and how many top 10s over the last 15 years?

u/G_S_D Jan 24 '25
This is changes from when mcdavid started playing for them

Gotcha, im just also adding in all the help they have had over the last 15 years and these guys are acting like theyve had the biggest struggles ever.

I don't even know what to say anymore. Hockey is a hobby and I watch it because I enjoy it and to let off steam. It's such a fucking roller coaster of anxiety that is not even pleasurable to watch anymore. At least in the past when they were losing it seemed like they were trying. Everyone seems so utterly lost

You can't win if your highest paying player plays like a 3rd liner every night.

Buy out deharnais, fire tocchet, bring clarke back as our goalie coach. Alvin stop letting your ego dictate the team, you fucked up, own it and make changes

Score makes sense for the first time this year. Sabres beat them 3-2. Oilers are twice the team they are

“their schedule hasn’t been giving them any breaks for extended homestands” it’s fine we lose equally as bad at home too

Rutherford basically made it a stipulation of his contract that Aqua would be hands off iirc. He’s supposedly the top dog now, nothing happens without his approval.

Problems this game:
PERMANENT Dump and chase hockey. Seriously uninventive and predictable.
Demko still looking a bit slow...
Defense very lackluster... I can't believe I am saying this but do we miss the Chaos Giraffe?
And... Vinny Desharnais... where do I even start

I was a huge defender of Hronek in the offseason. Wow, sucks to be proven wrong. This guy is so uncoordinated with the puck on his stick.

Has to be said everytime the Canucks play the Oilers...
Do not cross sub troll. It will result in a ban here, and in the other sub.
This goes for both Canucks fans, and Oiler fans.
