Post-Game Talk: Dallas wins and my schwartz watch quit again...

[McOilers97]

Evan Bouchard has been a massive disappointment so far. Bobbling the puck like crazy, point shots getting blocked most of the time, no real contributions to speak of.

 

[Gunnersaurus Rex]

You know. If Edmonton had mcloed and Foegele speed, I bet they win 7-3

But seriously, if they had them along with Ceci, Desharnais, Broberg & Holloway, they likely would have won. Every move this offseason was a down grade. Thanks JJ

This goalie just can’t win the goalie battle ever

 

[OilfaninTO]

Imagine what we could accomplish if we had a goalie like Oettinger.

 

[McAsuno]

The power play, 0-for-2 on Saturday and 1-for-15 on the season, continues to be a major f***ing problem.
It's time to remove Nuge (who doesn't ever want to shoot) and replace him with Arvidsson or Jeff Skinner.

Can't win too many games when your offense can't piss a drop. Skinner would've had to pitch a shutout and we all knew he wasn't going to.

We would have 1 or 2 cups for sure

That mustache and personality tho

Like most of our key players, he stinks to start every single season. Any player that grew up in the Oilers system stinks to start every single season.

Also it's time to send Emberson down. Just... nothing happening there, at all.

You can’t send him down without losing him to waivers. Plus who is better? For sure is not Dermott or Brown.

Showing to be the player many of us thought he was. Garbage. Better for the Oilers to see this now before they foolishly back up the money truck for him.

 

[Soundwave]

Defensively I think 5 on 5 our game is coming so at least that's a positive, I think that's only 3 ES goals against in 3 games I believe and one of those goals was Ekholm putting the puck in his own net. If we can continue that, success will come.

The special teams are just hot ass right now, not in sync at all, it's cost us at least 3-4 points this year.

Is what it is, wouldn't be an Oilers season without a stretch of total shit play either right to start the season or leading into Christmas, one or the other.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Wasted a great road game. Bad Stetcher penalty flipped the switch in a tight game. Special team now changed to Whelp teams with their futility the determinant in this game - now power in power play and no kill in penalty kill.

Hard to win games with one goal. Break up the Stack Five and look to drive offensive production through the quality depth scoring this management group prioritized in the summer.

This was a winnable game. I actually see a fair bit of positives with this team's effort and control of play until the late second period penalty switched the switch.

 

[McAsuno]

Goalie coach cant turn shit into dessert

But they can at least help. Who here as a goalie has Dustin Schwartz taught been good? When Mike Smith rather work with his own goalie coach, then you know Schwartz is hot garbage.

At least it might keep his price tag down.

 

[Ibanez]

The biggest problem, like last year's start, is between the ears.

Fans will come up with whatever excuses suit their narrative, but this one is the ticket

Couldn’t agree more. McDavid is still McDavid. But this is the worst I think I’ve ever seen him play….

Sad to watch at the moment.

Shooting pct will regress and so will the PP. but how soon will that be and how much of a hole will we need to dig out of?

Cool, start scoring some goals.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

RNH would never slam the bench like Jeff Skinner.

Could you imagine if he broke a finger nail doing that?

 

[oilers4life5]

Let’s not let the refs off the hook as they went to sleep waiting for Dallas to wake up.

 

[Mez]

Change the top PP. Enough is ENOUGH.

Break up McDavid and Leon. Time for both to f***ing play on their own lines instead of together.


GET A NEW GOALIE COACH PLEASE!!!!!!

I want to see Skinner in Nuges spot. We need a shooter.

 

[MoontoScott]

Some good chances for the Oilers but nobody is able to pick the corners on Otter. Too many shots in his bread basket.

Second best goalie in the matinee performance again belonged to the Oilers. Stu isn't going to steal too many for you so best to bury a few more chances. PP looks like a corpse.

Stars were fired up....you knew that was coming.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Cool, start scoring some goals.

Skinner wasnt good enough.

The top line and powerplay was worse though.

Maybe try scoring a f***ing goal.

 

[JeffSkinner53]

Knoblauch and Woodcroft seem the exact same

 

[brentashton]

Players are protesting Bowman

Bouchard needs to stop drinking before every game

Skinner is about our only forward that thinks shoot 1st, 2nd and 3rd. He needs to be leveraged to drag our fancy Dan players back to reality in terms of what needs to happen to produce goals.

I am dead certain that flipping him on the PP for Nuge would instantly change the look for the better because we would actually have one solitary player that thinks about skating towards the net and shooting to the net as a primary option off the wall.
