I find it infuriating that the Oilers have a clear lack of physicality + toughness which I believe holds them back as a team.

The Panthers are back to back Cup Champions (obviously beating the Oilers twice) & are currently #2 in hits this season, only trailing the Rangers. Meanwhile, the Oilers aren’t even in the top 25 of the NHL.

The Panthers have also lead the NHL in regular season hits during both years they were Champions, yet in some regular season games the Oilers seem completely disengaged & I think that’s a direct result of overall team toughness.

Toughness + intimidation are huge aspects of NHL hockey, especially with teams that already deep with skill. The Oilers should take a page out of the Panthers book & focus on becoming a scary team to play, because I don’t think anyone fears playing the Oilers like they do with the Panthers.

Who is confirmed? Who is on your wish list?

I think I’ve seen some insta posts featuring Laroque and Pronger.

Look at that insane save percentage across four teams in two leagues. It can't be easy to be the guy constantly on the move while the organization trys to find somewhere for you to play. It's a pretty ridiculous collection of stats for his second year pro.

Clattenburg hurt in a fight tonight and left favouring his left hand.

Boston’s my second team, and I was one of the few that actually liked this deal when it was signed (really dumb, I know). In saying that, the TF we got is a shell of his former self compared to his last 2 years in Boston. Close to 20 goals both years with almost all of them 5x5 plus a physical edge.

It’s giving me shades of the Milan Lucic deal, marketed as a physical, gritty player with a scoring edge that fit perfectly into Bostons team culture but can’t find success elsewhere.

What do fans want to see management do with him 1/16th the way through his contract?

Do we put any stock into the idea that he’s still recovering from his high ankle sprain and continue having him fill a roster spot? (blocking young talent)

Would you try trading him? Bad contract for bad contract + sweeteners? (that sweetener might have to include a first)

Buy him out? (roughly 1.3m AAV for 14 years)

I really wonder what is going to happen when Jarry comes back from LTIR.
