Post-Game Talk: All Good Things…

[SupremeTeam16]

You're a bit triggered I would say.

Cause I believe the team deserves a little benefit of the doubt after rattling off the last 30 games they have. But look at you bums acting like they’re doomed.

 

[McDrai]

Vegas celebrated like they won the cup. Hopefully the team actually uses that shit, because that has to hurt.

McDavid looked pissed, he knows their game doesn’t work against Vegas.

More like he knows we should have won. Hence the frustration.

 

[Oilhawks]

What is there to come on man about? Dude might win the vezina this year and probably deserved the Conn Smythe last year.

He also has outplayed Skinner head to head in 7 straight games.

He has 17 games played this year...huh?

 

[CycloneSweep]

I don’t think we can afford the upgrades we need to guarantee a cup. But we can give ourselves a solid chance. Hope some of these guys can figure out how to score a goal once in 100 games.

We can afford a top 6 upgrade and a Ceci upgrade.

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

Dude, we are all fans of this team and want to see them win. Sorry for not thinking the Oilers are perfect and played perfectly tonight.

Dude is another holier then thou loser

 

[iCanada]

Like Hill can't keep up a .968 sv% forever.

Well, he is at like 6 straight games against us.

Maybe we should be getting closer to his grill.

 

[Heavy Dee]

You are an idiot

And you're a jerk for posting nothing but insults. Go to bed.

 

[McAsuno]

Ceci needs to be replaced.
Don't get me wrong, I like the guy. He's not bad but he's just not good either. For this team to be deeper on defense and potentially go deeper in the playoffs for a cup run, this team can't afford to have Ceci on the top four D.

Anyways, let's start a new W streak friday.

 

[CycloneSweep]

More like he knows we should have won. Hence the frustration.

Eh a little of both. We can play well enough to beat Vegas but not with Hill in net.

 

[RipsADrive]

I'm not upset about the streak ending. I'm upset about Vegas ending it. Bleh.

We won some we should have lost on this run and finishing it with a loss that should have been a W is fine.

 

[Gordy Elbows]

It would have been nice to get the streak but it’s not the end of the season. I won’t miss the pressure of the streak run and don’t think the players will either. Everyone can go back to focusing on playing the system, and improving our play going to the playoffs.
The team can be proud of what it has achieved in terms of wins and standings…and we’re not finished yet!

 

[RandomGuy79]

I don't think anyone thinks they are doomed, just concerned with how we match up with Vegas and how we will very likely face them in the 1st round in the playoffs.

 

[SupremeTeam16]

Dude, we are all fans of this team and want to see them win. Sorry for not thinking the Oilers are perfect and played perfectly tonight.

They weren’t perfect but they were the better team and deserved a better faith but people want to act like they don’t have a hope.

 

[mkatcherin00]

One of the rejects banned me from the 16 gane thread and I didn't even troll or say anything lol so many butt hurt people. Probably a fraudcouver mod

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Hella run.

Benchmark game. Oil played a great game and ran into Cup level team defense. Bodies and sticks consistently clogging the home plate area in front of a dialled in goaltender. The Oil went toe for toe with the Cup champion. Unfortunately Oil coverage broke first for the only break needed to win a tight playoff primer hockey game. Really only felt McDavid left it all on the ice offensively though the team defended really well. Left too many good shot attempts die on the vine with overhanding or needless wide circles around the net and out of harm's way instead of straight line attacking the net.

Have to reset and start again with one.

 

[DrDrai]

yup, angry instead of happy for the streak happening, I really think some people expect the team to go 82-0 or else they deem it unacceptable.

The streak was awesome, my kids loved it. But everyone and their dog knew they needed to win this game, against their biggest rival. It honestly just a shitty loss, any other team other then Colorado I probably am disappointed but not pissed.

 

[rboomercat90]

Now that the win streak is over we can talk about this teams problems. The concerning one for me is how anemic our offence has become. We’ve got a lot of forwards that can’t score right now. Not sure how that gets fixed but if we’re able to add something at the deadline that’s the area that needs to be addressed.

 

[Ibanez]

Vegas celebrated like they won the cup. Hopefully the team actually uses that shit, because that has to hurt.

Streak beating or not. That celebration was ridiculous. Vegas are one of the better teams in the league. That wasn’t a good look. I hope the team uses that as “f*** you” fuel

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

People really trying to throw this loss as not a big deal but this loss exposed them.

huh? they outplayed and outchanced them and hit a few posts

 

[Ninety7]

Lot of testy dudes in here

No shame in losing. The boys played hard, deserved to win, and looked good.

I think a lot of people need to be more positive in here considering where we were 15 games into the season lol!

 

[Stoneman89]

I've discovered some new skate prototypes that may help Drai on nights like this.

 

[GOilers88]

Like Hill can't keep up a .968 sv% forever.

Sure hope not, haha.

I don't agree with the Vezina talk though. I still have Demko and Hellebuyck ahead of him.

 

[oobga]

Hope the team gets over that one quick. Total repeat of playoffs. We choked loads of good chances. Refused to hit open net, just tossing wide over and over. Put the rest along the ice direct into Hill. Then our brain farts in our zone easily convert into goals against.

Start another run boys.

Hope this loss gives them what they need to learn to be better against Vegas and Hill. This is almost guaranteed as a first round matchup and I would bet on Vegas at this point. This team has the potential to beat them in a series but they refuse to play how they need to to handle how Vegas D and Hills goaltending work together. It’s a lesson they have to learn or it’s a first round out. They can do it, they just have to figure out how.
