huntz71 Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 This is overdue, but I feel Chiarelli is soon to follow, probably a last ditch attempt to save his ass! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeoiler Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 Crazy in Edmonton this morning. Overall reaction seems favourable, even with the Hitch side of the equation. He's a local guy and will hopefully bring structure and discipline to the three-quarters of this team that are AHL calibre players. Along with that, he'll ride the big boys even more than Todd did, and I'll think you'll see Connor's minutes jump back up to that 25 min mark like he was doing when they were on their 8-1-1 stretch, not decline like Veg suggests. And Da Leafs has the right of it … Chia-Pete will be firing himself by Christmas if this doesn't turn around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's sitting back and waiting for the right time and the right team. I don't think he's looking to get involved in a rebuild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knobert Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 (edited) I think Hitch was a good find............. what if they asked you to come in and turn the Oilers around and not have any guarantee for the year after. Plus if nothing can be turned around Chia gets fired at the end of the year, new GM selects new coach........ that's what new GMs usually want seems like a good move, even though i am worried about style of play with Hitch Edited November 20, 2018 by knobert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vegeta Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 Will be a better team. But worst fantasy result unless he adapted hes not a playera coach he loves to roll 3 lines at 14-16mins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vegeta Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 Maybe next time it be better not to trade petry for a 2nd rounder then turn around and trade hall for a worst petry.... This is like lets trade a 2nd rounder who actually panned out ( petry) for a 2nd round hoping this one pans out as well. Then trade a 1st overall pick that actually is legit star for a guy who hasnt panned out on a team that had no depth at D (nj) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is not firing himself, so Todd’s gone. I think Hitch will provide the structure that the Oilers need for the reminder of the year and then regroup. Hitch is not long term, but something needed to be done. It won’t make them worse, and it makes a point to the young guys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salros Posted November 23, 2018 Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 (edited) I think Talbot owners should worry. Koskinen is the better goalie and Hitchcock may want to go with the new guy. If he can help Edmonton be a better defensive team, the biggest fantasy winner could be Koskinen. But the point about Chiarelli is dead on. He's mostly responsible for creating the problem. I feel for Oiler fans. It seems like Lucy, Charlie Brown and the football. Always talking oneself into believing only to face the same reality.

Vegeta Posted November 23, 2018 Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 (edited) we all know chiapete is awfull. he techically traded Barzal+ beauvillier+Eberle for Griffin Reinhart ryan spooner and a 3rd and to be honest thats even worst than Mcdonagh for Gomez or Ninima for Ribeiro Edited November 23, 2018 by Vegeta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
