Dear Twitter: What Does This Team Need To Do To Turn It Around?

The Oilers were drubbed on the shot clock, 43-20. The Wild finished with four goals, Edmonton somehow managed two.

Something’s not good. Something isn’t right. Something’s gone wrong. What say you, Oilers?

“Overall, Minnesota took it to us today. They out-battled us in every situation. We have to get much hungrier.” – Coach Krueger

I took to Twitter to get the scoop.

Oilers outshot 43 to 20.In seven words or less, what does this team need to do to turn it around?(best ones go in the game review) — Jeff Chapman (@OilOnWhyte) March 4, 2013

  Here’s what I got in return.

@oilonwhyte prey? — Michael Stark (@mraas1979) March 4, 2013

We got to pray, just to make it today.

@oilonwhyte Bench Eberle and RNH ….. Message sent! — Chris Stasiuk (@STAZE99) March 4, 2013

Can I trade a benching for two shots each?

@oilonwhyte Get it together, practice what they’re preached. — Shane Suss Strongman (@creeativemale) March 4, 2013

@oilonwhyte Read their own post-game quotes. — Rascal Gas (@rascalgas) March 4, 2013

I laughed

@oilonwhyte get more size — Dan Sposato, PGA (@DSpogolf) March 4, 2013

As long as they’re not hired thugs, sure. Finding size and talent is tough.

@oilonwhyte trade for some size and grit! — Jeff LeDrew (@redbelly13) March 4, 2013

Again, size is great. Gimme some goal scoring talent, or maybe you can juggle, or do something other than thug it up, and I’m listening. Otherwise, we have a 20 shot team with two fighting majors.

@oilonwhyte Get good players.Keep them.h/t @blackdogpat — Derek Zona (@DerekZona) March 4, 2013

THERE’S AN IDEA

@oilonwhyte Stop being so fucking cute. — Triple D (@OilerMisery) March 4, 2013

@oilonwhyte As I’ve said all season long the accountability when it comes to team d & not hanging our goalies out to dry. #brokenrecord — Simply Steve (@Phoenix9917) March 4, 2013

We’re going to have to deduct a tenth of a point here for being more than 7 words, but this is the gist of it

@oilonwhyte Pick up Volpatti and Sestito off waivers — I am thug lyfe.(@SpeedOfRound) March 4, 2013

Cruel

@oilonwhyte call each other out, rather than playing buddy-buddy every game. — Kevin McKenna (@KkevrockK) March 4, 2013

Accountability? Sure.

@oilonwhyte play people with passion bench the rest

— Shawn P (@shawnpettit) March 4, 2013

I’d settle for ones who shoot the puck on net.

More shots. More scoring chances. More goals. It’s a lot to ask for, but it’s going to have to get done sooner than later, else I’ll need a ride to the early part of the NHL Entry Draft again this year.
