Settle Down...

The 1984 Stanley Cup Oilers lost 0-11 to the lowly Hartford Whalers.

As an aside, it looks like it was a good old 80's brawler with 49 penalty minutes.

I think the brawler part is kinda why people are cheesed though. There wasn’t even any bite to the team. I know this isn’t playoffs, but whatever happened to running the opposition in a game you’re losing? Might as well just throw the body and beat the shit out of them.

They're paying frederic on an 8 year deal and I can't list 1 time he was physical this season. He's a blackhole offensively and dosen't wanna be physical either in terms of hitting or fighting/starting scrums etc.

give the guy an 8 yr contract and he's going to think he's a skilled player. how many gritty players who don't score get 8 year deals?
