If folks don't know, Prashanth and the Red Wings subreddit put out a call for $40 donations to the Jamie Daniels Foundation after their 0-for-40 PP drought ended, and last them I check they had totaled around $15,000.

Dubnyk was only in Arizona for half a season. I’m not sure he was a goalie whisperer, but he certainly did not harm anything for that half season Dubs was there. He did some really good work with Bob Mason in MN too. I’d write off his numbers last season. His wife had some bad health issues that just showed up from nowhere and really put him off for a while. She’s supposedly doing better, so I hope he can regain his form in SJ (just not against the Wild).

Moneypuck at 25% to post season, Hockeyviz has them tied with Chicago, and Dom's meme stats for bored readers has them at... 65%?

Lose one (or both) to CBJ this week and I think 25% is probably a fair estimation.

The Stars having the 4th highest chances in the Central but only having a 39% chance of making it despite 4 teams having to make the playoffs is pretty funny in my opinion.

So either the Oilers are winning 7-2 or they're getting shutout by a 3rd different goalie 5-0 tonight.

Dave Tippett is not a good coach if he refuses to make adjustments (and not make bad line-up decisions) to try and avoid having this happen.

Don't worry Oilers fans, it's not like they'll have to play and beat the same team multiple times in the playoffs.

Dave Tippett is a good coach what the hell is this nonsense.

The roster isn't great!

Tippett was double shifting McDavid to try and get him away from Brodie and Kerfoot, swapping wingers, swapping D-Pairings.

Like what else is there when your best options are to insert Kyle Turris or James Neal????

I kind of wonder if Derek Stepan's surgery actually has a really long recovery time like Ottawa says, or if it's just a backroom "get yourself fixed, then go home for 'rest and training' until poo poo gets sorted out." Dude already wanted to leave, can you really blame even Ottawa for just letting him opt out of the season a bit later to be with his family instead of weird covid hockey hellworld?

If you think Tippett is blameless for the Oilers only being able to score 1 goal in a 3 game series against the Leafs despite having two of the best players in the league, then one of those best players tells the media "they had us figured out pretty good" (which means they failed to adjust their systems to counter the way the Leafs were defending them, which was very obvious tonight), then I don't know what to tell you that'd change your blind loyalty :shrug:

Its not a playoff series, its 3 games mid way through a mostly successful season where their xgf% is over 50% and their PP is outscoring their PK.

Yes it sucks to lose those 3 that way, but its not a playoff series, and the roster stinks. What exactly do you think they should do beyond what Tippett was doing? You can't just say "change the system" cause that means sweet gently caress all.

The Oilers aren't winning the cup this year, its a season to grow a bunch of the young guys (JP, Kailer, Jones, Bear, Bouchard, Nurse somewhat) and see where they fit for the next few years. Its too bad they can't use the minors for recalls cause we could also have McLeod and Benson up to see if they can stick, maybe Holloway as well. They have cap space this summer and hopefully the window truly opens next season when the wingers can actually finally hopefully be filled in properly. Chiarelli salted the fuckin earth, this season and last have been good in spite of all the damage that was done prior to last season. If you can't see that as Tippett being a good coach, I'm not sure what someone can say about it.

Its not blind loyalty, its realizing the Oilers situation for what it is.
