Edmonton just fired their Goaltending coach.

 

Edmonton Oilers

The #Oilers have relieved goaltender coach Frederic Chabot of his duties. Dustin Schwartz will replace Chabot in the role.

Whew now they will start winning.

 

I was thinking the same thing. Yes, yes, goaltending is at the head of Edmonton's issues.

It's probably all 3

It is definitely all 3. That is what happens when you spend multiple 1st round picks on literally the same player; Average size, high skill, no grit, defensive question marks. Doesn't really make your forwards well rounded. It puts more pressure on your defense which is an AHL defense to begin with. Then you have GT... :sick:

Everything wrong with the Oilers that reminds me of 2011 Buffalo

When veteran defenceman Michal Rozsival belted Edmonton’s latest 19-year-old star player into the boards dangerously from behind, the Edmonton response was to do nothing. To not care. Rozsival had Draisaitl’s back, why should they?

Draisaitl’s teammates basically told the rest of the league, “This is our youngest, most vulnerable player, but you can do to him whatever you wish with absolute impunity.” Leon Draisaitl, a 19-year-old kid from Germany being forced into NHL action because GM Craig MacTavish came up short at centre again this season, was left completely on his own.

Oh that's way worse than the 2011 Sabres, you should watch the Miller/Lucic thing again, compared to that Oilers hit, the Sabres had a huge response.

 

Yep. They are least did the token clutch and grab. You could tell Gaustad was ready to swing his purse at Lucic as well, but we didn't want to give up the power play.

 

On a serious note, that was a despicable response by Edmonton. They should trade Eberle for Berglund, Ott, and a defenseman.
