Dear Mr. Oilers, I am a Fan for Life who wants to know why we are never going to the playoffs. I am 15 and have only seen one time the Oilers made it
to the Playoffs.How come?
Well Billy....we don't really use stats much here.....and I know you are a modern kid who understands computers and numbers so I will try to help you
see things from another perspective OK.....one WITHOUT ANY CON-JOB ADVANCED STATS INVOLVED AT ALL...lets take a look-see why don't we.
Beginning after 2005-2006 ...for 7/12 years we have allowed fewer than 251 goals against...in 2005-2006 we made the Playoffs ,we had 256 goals for
and 251 goals against.
7/12 years our defense IMPROVED and we missed the playoffs......in 2016-17 the Oilers defense was very tight allowing only 212 goals against...BUT BUT
BUT …..they also scored 247 goals for which is the 2nd highest number since 2005-06 also a Playoff contention season.
12/12 years we have failed to reach 256 goals for.....since 2005-06 we have NEVER EQUALLED THE GOALS FOR TOTAL we earned then,there has been zero
growth in our offense.Conclusion …..a lack of offense has been the catalyst of the Oilers long term underperformance.
For 7/12 years our defense has been better.....we have missed the Playoffs in 6 of those years.Conclusion...….playing better defense does not get
you into the Playoffs.
en.wikipedia.org...
No fancy stats here....no lies and BS and stupid names made up by 19 year old involved online hockey fans doing monster-bong hits in their parents
basement.....seriously Shannahan I hope you lose your job over the Dubas Affair....same with Babcock who rolled with everything.
So now we have the bare facts......the Oilers have spent the last 12 years working hard to improve their defense which has directly resulted in them
missing the Playoffs 11/12 times......and in the SINGULAR ISOLATED SEASON WHERE THEY CAME THE CLOSEST TO EQUALLING THEIR 2005-06 OFFENSIVE OUTPUTS
THEY MADE THE PLAYOFFS AND ALMOST WENT DEEP.
If you say good defense wins games I will puke....if you are an Oiler and you say those things either you dont know your own team history of you are a
bold faced liar.......there is NO WAY TO SUPPORT NOR DEFEND SUCH AN IRRESPONSIBLE REGRESSIVE STATEMENT....it is POISON.....POISON MAN.
Focusing on an Improved defense in an offensvely catalysed game like NHL hockey will lead you to the most embarrasing most losing seasons
possible....
What do YOU think the Oilers need to work on.....keeping their focus on improving their defense and MISSING THE NHL PLAYOFFS....or.....FOCUSING ON
IMPROVING THEIR OFFENSE AND MAKING THE NHL PLAYOFFS AND WINNING A STANLEY CUP.
Its time for the Fans to speak up....from an informed point of view.....time for the Fans to STOP LISTENING TO all the con-job fraudulent advanced
stats mumbo-jumbo that has POISONED NHL HOCKEY....jeepers Bettman is allowing it and HELPING it to happen by letting these advanced stats con-job
arse-pirates into the NHL.
The Oilers ownership has listened to Kevin Lowes defensively poisoned yapping for way to long and it has buried the Franchise....a defense-first
mentality is has been and always will be a LOSING PERSPECTIVE in the National ockey League.
Defense has NEVER WON A SINGLE NHL HOCKEY GAME NOR ANY HOCKEY GAME ANYWHERE ON THIS PLANET......you MUST SCORE A GOAL TO WIN A GAME.....there is NO
DENYING THE TRUTH THAT OFFENSE IS THE STICK THAT STIRS THE NHL DRINK....anyone who says anything different is lieing to you for some reason and you
need to find out why if you are a vested Fan of your team.
If...and its a BIG IF.....Oilers Fans can get their heads out of their arses .....share this data....and DEMAND MORE OFFENSE and LESS DEFENSE....then
maybe Connor McDavid will see the NHL Playoffs again before he leaves Edmonton....Remember Gretzky and Kurri and Messier and Coffey and Anderson and
Huddy and EVERYONE ....THEY LEFT TOWN...it is a NATURAL PROGRESSION..we dont get Connor McDavid FOREVER....the time to act is now.
Stop trying to plug holes.....and start firing your guns and making some holes of your own......before we lose McDavid pre-maturely.....remember he IS
GOING ANYWAYS SOONER OR LATER....lets find SOME FREAKING URGENCY HERE PLEASE.
The reality of losing him is right in our faces as we speak.
Goals are like bullets...they can do almost anything....they definately are NOT guaranteed one-shot-one win deadly ….goals WOUND more times than
they kill....so one or two can not be counted upon to do freaking anything....you have to put more holes in your opponent faster than they can put
holes in you...it is a RACE for goodness sakes....a race to put more holes in the opponents bathtub than they can shoot into yours....its a race to
see who can sink who first by SHOOTING HOLES IN THEIR BATHTUB...you cannot hide from a gunfight....and trying to play defense first is like trying to
run from bullets.
This was not a difficult diagnosis.....it has NEVER BEEN A DIFFICULT DIAGNOSIS....now look at the entire post here once more ...then...ask yourself
AGAIN why things have been going South for so long in Edmonton.
I might add this...anyone who comes to this thread and fails to add comments and fails to participate...is a POS... no exceptions...you should not
come here if you are not willing to support the NHS and Moma2....yes...this means YOU.....THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER ONLINE PLACES TO HANG OUT AND SPEND
YOUR TIME......get involved or take a hike.....and anyone involved in the NHL who refuses to participate but comes here to drink from the Trough of
Knowledge like the rest of the free-loading non-participatory little piggies SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES because supporting the NHS supports the
growth strength and stability of the INDUSTRY THAT PUTS BREAD ON YOUR TABLES....and its the RIGHT THING TO DO.
It doesn't matter what NHL Team you work with or which AHL or other group you work with or if you are an International Fan and work with some other
group worldwide....if you love and respect hockey you were not raised and brought up and trained to be a THIEF.....you wear freaking suits as a
SYMBOL OF YOUR RESPECT FOR YOURSELF AND FOR THE GAME.....screwing over an online Blogger who has been trying to break into your industry the RIGHT
WAYS....by giving more than they take.....FOR A DECADE....is NOT COOL and it is NOT HOCKEY PLAYER BEHAVIOUR.....what has seperated NHL Professional
Hockey Players from their Professional Sports peers has always been a deeper level of respect and Stewardship for their Game.....tis historic Hockey
Player persona is gone now because they support the con-job advanced stats group that has poisoned the entire NHL by ripping off Moma2 .
