Oilers - MacT Rant

Sorry everyone! I missed yesterday, I was not feeling so great. But on with today. Today, I worked, and it was absolutely terrible. Smelly, scary, insane, and violent, all describe the customers I had today. But I won't really go into detail with that.

What do I have to rant about today? Craig MacTavish.

How does a guy keep a head coaching job in a professional league with a clearly underperforming bunch of players, 3 blowouts in a 2 month span (7-2, 10-2, 8-3), anyone can plainly see he is not able to motivate the players, and seems to develop "hate" with a player every two weeks (Penner, Nilsson, Penner again). Which goalie has been the common denominator? Roloson. Two out of the three blowouts were Roli crapping the bed in the first period (3 goals on 10 shots against Buffalo, and today 5 goals in the first period, 11 saves, and 3 in the first 6 minutes of the game. Mind you, it seems this year, when the Oilers get down by 2 early, they half-play for the rest of the game. Why? Two goals isn't that much in the new NHL. Why can't Mactavish motivate them to come from behind every so often? A sign of a good coach isn't taking credit when times are good, it is when times are going bad that they can nudge the players back to where they should be playing at. Also, the Oilers seem to be having chemistry problems. I can't see why? HA just kidding, with MacT playing "Will it Blend?" with the lines every 5 minutes to see if they can have a good shift. I was a supporter of him at the beginning of the season, I thought nobody could screw up with the line-up he was given, but what do ya know. Shouldn't assume anything. Come on Quinn or Laviolette.
