This is the year of NHL CEOs. First it was the Dallas CEO who through a hissy fit and now its Edmontons. Guys, listen, I don’t not like the Oilers. Hockey is better when the hockey in Edmonton is above a Peewee C level. Having said that, if I was an Oilers fan and my CEO was bitching and moaning about how a 3rd-4th line player is the reason we weren’t making the playoffs then I would be jumping ship ASAP. What a joke. Maybe, just maybe, the reason you’re not in the playoffs is because of contracts you’ve given Lucic and Kassian. Maybe it’s because you traded Taylor fucking Hall for Adam god damn Larsson. Maybe its because the last good goalie you had was named after a savage dog, shoutout Cujo. There are tons of reasons why the Oilers suck farts, I just feel like Tobias Reider isn’t even in the top 100 of those reasons.
