Pre-Game Talk: Avalanche-rolled or get rolled. 7PM MTN

[nabob]

Benning making a decision with the puck is painful to watch.

 

[Mikey71]

healthy scratch to on a line with McDavid...Todd being Todd...

 

[TheNumber4]

Drai showin his backhand pass prowess, McDavid showing his unreal speed and hands.

 

[nexttothemoon]

Auvitu again eating popcorn when he's a positive asset when he's in the game.

f*** off McLellan.

 

[rickysusedsht]

Ah man so close

 

[snipes]

healthy scratch to on a line with McDavid...Todd being Todd...

Reasons

 

[voxel]

Strome has had a decent game. Finally somebody drives to the net instead of Connor

 

[Tobias Kahun]

I think Auvitu would look better on the first line than Cammalleri

 

[Captain Fantastic]

I just hate how our D backs up the way they do. Hey.. At least Platinum Blonde is coming here... Doesn't really matter.. Lol

 

[Mikey71]

I would say the play dies on Cammi's stick but he would have to win a battle and get it on his stick first...

 

[rickysusedsht]

He can bury the puck when he is on his game.would be nice if he got one tonight

 

[Oil75]

Stubborn Todd waits til almost the third to give McD a real winger yikes!

 

[YakDavid]

Did that stat just show how Colorado last year had better special teams than us? Despite having a brutal record

 

[Frank the Tank]

Except they were good last year and have been murdered this year BECAUSE of the special teams. Its not even a question the biggest drag on this teams performance this year is special teams they've been fine 5 on 5 for the majority of the year. Pretty sure its the coaches job to teach players how to pk especially if game in game out they suck at it.

I think it comes down to a consistent lack of defensive depth. Last season everything went great and the coaches had the horses in the barn to compete against the best. This season losing Sekera to a serious injury and guys like Klefbom and Benning to a significant regression in play have made the Oilers a team that one again can be overwhelmed by an aggressive forecheck and cycle. It becomes even more apparent when they are short-handed.

Sekera has blown chunks ever since he came back. He shouldn't be playing.

Put in Auvitu or if they can't do that... call up Gryba.

GOAAAAAAAL!!!!

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Great, another goal for them to disallow

 

[rickysusedsht]

Please count please count

It's sad when we pine for Gryba.

 

[YakDavid]

Honest question. If we know that Sekera was injured for a long period. Also Klefbom being injured. Why didn't we do anything

 

[48g90a138pts]

Oh man it's coming back...

 

[Captain Fantastic]

F.U. R.E.F.S

 

[nexttothemoon]

Of course no goal.

 

[FanOfSadTeam]

21 challenges in a row lost...coming up

 

[snipes]

Won’t count
