Self-awareness is a thing. While on the coaches, its also on the players. Do they not know how to count?

Amateur hockey. Marginal effort, no drive, zero tenacity and very little leadership it seems.

from early last march:
“…and if i was management, every player contract would ban this team from reading media plaudits about how they’ve finally turned the corner with how well they’re playing and how they are now legitimate stanley cup contenders.
“it seems every time they pay attention to the media - or the next round of the boys on the bus legacy (it was after all 36 years ago) - they fall flat on their faces. stanley cups aren’t given to the most talented players, they’re earned by the hardest working teams.
“but i’m neither coach nor management so I’ll just continue to watch every game hoping for the best, wondering which oilers team i’ll get to watch each period, and trusting woodcraft and management know their jobs better than i do.”
someone’s been allowing the press clippings into the dressing room yet again.

I don't feel any sense of urgency now that we are 10% of the way through the season with a team going 'Cup or Bust' and at the moment imploding on all fronts.
'we have yet to play a full 60'.... at this stage and cycle. Where is the player accountability?
'In a funk' means that at some point (this year) that you weren't.
I am hearing 'hope' and 'that's the goal' in almost every, single interview Jay. NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

Sounds like Brown is a game away from being put on waivers.

Brown probably had his best game so far last night, but I wonder if Lavoie might do well as a call-up.

why don't they put some seats near the rink in the middle for these winter classic games, theres so much empty space.
Not just that, but half the TV shots show the ends where there are no seats.
