McLellan delivers memorable presser after Oilers embarrassed again

The Edmonton Oilers are going out with a whimper. Again.

The club was spanked 5-0 in the Calgary Flames' final visit to Rexall Place, and the Oilers played with little emotion and even less pride. After the game, head coach Todd McLellan gave a memorable presser, ripping his team and its effort to shreds.

McLellan couldn't believe what he saw from his group in game 80 of the season, saying there wasn't a number big enough to describe how unhappy he was with the Oilers' display.

"That's the exact crap we're trying to eradicate from this group," he said. "That's really disappointing after 200 days together.

"Forget about the win and the loss, just the effort. That's frickin' embarrassing. That's the exact attitude and bullshit we're trying to eliminate here."

The players, meanwhile, were singing a familiar tune.

"We can't let that happen again," Taylor Hall said. "These fans are passionate. They're loyal. They deserve a good show."

"We had days off," Patrick Maroon added, "we should have been rested and we should have played a lot better than that."

"We've got to find a way to regroup," Jordan Eberle concluded.

With only two games left on the schedule, that likely won't be happening.
