Post-Game Talk: Almost blown away in the Windy City

[bellagiobob]

Not gonna overthink this. Needed 4 points on this trip and got it. That’s what good teams do. Clearly a lot of guys are still under the weather. Connor looked like a ghost tonight. Hoping they are feeling a bit better on Friday.

It would be nice once in a while to blow out a bottom feeder

But we have to clench our assess all night against an AHL caliber team.

Winz is winz but man. Crazy weird team

 

[5 14 6 1]

The break is coming up at a nice time, finding way to win games ugly lately. 5-1-1 last 7

 

[Messrules11]

Keep Skinner, deal Nuge.

 

[Oilslick941611]

Shockingly bad game and bad decisions from McDavid tonight. That 3 on 1 was just stupid from him, the peel and pick on him from the breakaway... I hope hes injured and not declining.

Pickard made some great saves tonight

Skinner did good with his chance tonight

i'll take the 2 points

 

[Soundwave]

I said it a million times this year ... Knoblaugh has been a stubborn ass with his handling of the offense.

Jeff Skinner should be sitting on 14 or 15 goals right now probably, and not trying Arvidsson on the McDavid line was also dumb when he had previously scored immediately there.

Klingberg looks good moving the puck I have to say. +3 tonight.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Rejean is going to be so mad.

 

[MessierII]

4 points in two days take it. One more game before the break.

 

[PositiveCashFlow]

they’re tired. At least they dug in

 

[McDoused]

Good teams find a way.

We looked like a team on the 2nd of a back to back against a well rested team.

Good thing Jeff Skinner has entered the chat.

 

[LeonDraisaitl29]

There we go

Players have to earn their spots on good teams.

+1

Chicago celebrated like they tied a playoff game with their 3rd goal

Meh it's fine, not much for them to celebrate this season and playing the Oilers is like every teams' Stanley Cup. It's flattering to the Oilers if anything.

Sign of a great team.

We’ve mostly been playing like shit for the better part of 3 weeks, but are still racking up wins. If not for a few goaltending implosions it could have been better even.

FuGLY win is a win, I guess.

Team has been playing poorly for a while now and is getting lucky. I don’t like it. I’ll at least sleep well knowing some of the Golden Knights watched this game and are gagging as we speak.

Jesus Christ overreaction.

Second half of a back to back and he’s sick and you’re worried he’s declining because he got hooked on the hands on a breakaway and didn’t get a shot off?

 

[Bryanbryoil]

2nd game in a row that a BS call and a subsequent PP goal ends up changing the momentum in the game. Then the refs put away the whistles. A preview of the postseason. We need to be an elite ES and PK team if we are to win the cup.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Oilers running on fumes but found a way to get the W
ugly game but who cares, take the points and move on
4 point lead in the division now

 

[McAsuno]

Jeff Skinner masterclass baybeeeeee

Here’s a scenario since I know you love these. Knobloch intentionally broke skinner and forced him to rebuild his defensive game. Now skinner has played his way back up and could finish the season strong and have a big playoffs.

Possible if he does find chemistry and we have a big playoff run that he does another cheap one year and absolutely explodes next year with 40 goals. He’s that kind of a guy.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

We're out here giving the worst teams in the league one point each like some sort of benevolent robber baron lmao.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Rejean is going to be so mad.
