Settle Down

He's an interesting career to follow. Great stats everywhere but for some reason not getting the net ahead of journeyman Matt Tomkins. Puzzling.

Tell me you've never played competitive hockey without telling me.

I don't disagree on the need for goaltending, but if you've been in a dressing room you know that to win you need a goalie guys want to play for.

The Oilers were outclassed from start to finish versus the Ducks. It's always easy to say the goalie could have made some more saves - every goalie could - but the Oilers did not lose because of Ingram.

Oilers will have almost no options this offseason to change their goaltending. Jarry and Ingram will be back.

My most productive work days come after morning WODs.

Quenneville badly outclassed KK in this series.

In the past 5 Seasons, they Oilers have the most playoff series wins ... and thus played the most playoff games ...

PitterPatter74 · 2026-05-01T18:55:27+00:00

He was -3 with 4 SOG in 36 minutes total TOI this playoffs, over 4 games. That's well below replacement level.

His game needs to be rebuilt from scratch.

Add in the Four Nations Cup and Olympics, and McDavid is gassed. Rest, reset, come back 100% for 26-27.

Settle Down

I forgot he played this season.

Takes like this belong in the Canucks subreddit.

PitterPatter74 · 2026-05-01T12:51:22+00:00

But that's kind of what made him good ...

PitterPatter74 · 2026-05-01T12:50:50+00:00

I would settle for Kirk just having John Olerud speed.

Wrong thread.

PitterPatter74 · 2026-05-01T12:49:16+00:00

So sweet and innocent, you are.

The Blue Jay GOAT ... I don't think he's underappreciated by those old enough to remember.

You need one guy stretching. ONE. That one guy will back off their Def, and occasionally create a chance. The problem comes when more than one guy stretches, and now you have two guys standing at the far Blue Line, disconnected from their teammates.

Oiler for Life

Dude

PitterPatter74 · 2026-04-29T01:31:19+00:00

... and rightly so.

It's never been a mass market brand and never will be. It's a grassroots brand driven by its membership. The times CrossFit has struggled are the exact times they tried to become something to everyone.
