I think it's a move that had to be made... Ciarelli should be next. You can't keep doing the same thing over and over and expect a different result. Sounds like all the guest speakers on 630 ched radio weren't surprised and they all agree with hitchcock as the man, interim...

Shakedown in oil town. The talent is there. Sometimes the boss has to go. Part of the business.

chia needs to go, though....

I can’t write off Hitchcock until he has a chance to get in and come up with a new game plan.

The other issues still remain, not enough NHL level depth, not a strong enough blue line and the starter net minder is AHL caliber.

Chia had some decent moments getting Brodziak, Chaisson and Reider, but overall has been fleeced in every trade he has made. If they don’t go .500 by Xmas I think he is gone by New Year.

If little to no improvements happen I for sure see chia gone end of the season

I think he’s in the hot seat. You can’t have the nhl’s slowest player on the same line as the fastest. Even if he’s over payed by a cool 6.5 mil

Nice work tonight oilers.

The internet has already been updated.

Todd McLellan contract will pay him 5 million a year for two more years. That's a good deal for him, don't even need to work. ​

Hitch already has put some organization into their play... Hitch is actually "coaching" and fixing problems on the fly... something Mclellan had a hard time doing

he was actually on a 5 year, $15million contract, so only $3mil a year for 2 more year

[gforce]

will they make the playoffs?

 

[Summitric]

of course they will......

 

[Andrew.renegade1000]

Edm vs calgary first round

 

[Ballzdeep]

will they make the playoffs?

 

[takethebounce]

I think Minnie and the Avs will take the Wildcard spots.

 

[Rjjtcross8]

Be awesome to see them make the playoffs, but still lots of games left to play and I think the wild card race is gonna get interesting.

 

[d8grandpa]

of course they will......

Yup they will. Just not sure which year.......ceartainly not anytime soon.
