Non Penguins NHL Games 2021-22
I'm not sure why but I get tremendous enjoyment out of the oilers failure. Best player in the world, another top 5, and I'm a huge fan of both of them but it's still fun to watch them scratch their heads over there.
Maybe it highlights how hard it was for the pens to win 3 even with 87 and 71?

Best player of all time, if you please.

They're just so horrendously mismanaged.
Every GM that they've had since like, 2007 has no idea how to build a roster with complimentary players nor how to develop the talent that they draft. You can say "oh but McDavid and Draisaitl make a **** ton of money" but there's more than enough to at least build a competent supporting cast around them. Instead, you're giving 5.5m to Zach Hyman, who has only broken 40 points twice, and THREE POINT TWO MILLION FOR FOUR **** YEARS TO ZACH **** KASSIAN who has only broken 30 points ONCE in a 10 year NHL career. Then you trade young D men in Ethan Bear and Caleb Jones (yeah I know he's like a 7th at best but if they were able to develop talent they'd have done something with him) for Warren Foegele (who has done Jack ****) and 38 year old Duncan Keith, whose wheels fell off like, 4 years ago. Giving 3.25 to Ceci, who fit well in the Pens system but not much anywhere else, doesn't help either. And don't get me started on their goaltending.
It's going to get real grim once Darnell Nurse starts his NINE MILLION DOLLAR EXTENSION next year. 9 mil for Darnell **** Nurse.
They should just fold the team and trade McDavid and Draisaitl so the league as a whole doesn't waste the careers of the two most promising players of the post-2013 lockout generation.

I mean they're run by Ken Holland but they're going down the same paths as the hawks and the leafs did. You just can't have that many guys making that big of money.
At the end of the day though, they haven't had a goalie since, what, Grant fuhr?

Note - I think they should have been able to do something with mcdavid and draisaitl accounting for $21M, but you really need to complement with guys like Dumoulin at $4M and rust at $3.5M, and overpaying Hyman (who admittedly has been great for them) and nurse is a luxury you can't afford.

Ken Holland is in year 3 of his tenure and has done nothing, and he's as much responsible for the Red Wings being non-factors post-2009 as any other reason. He's not the savior he's made out to be.

The one that comes to mind is the 1996 Senators...Bowness, Jacques Martin, and someone else...Sparky Allison? All coached about a third of the season...Has that ever happened?

I mean, that roster ought to have been a real player...but poor coaching - and I don't mean that nebulously - I mean, specific, obvious tactics that they were employing are completely the opposite of what you can have for that roster...it's a joke.
