Because neither is willing to shoot until they are basically left with no other option at this point.
Its almost like the stars run the team.
Every coach ends up doing the exact same thing, and the only thing consistent is McDavid and Draisaitl.
Thought he looked fine. I only got to see the first two periods, but he looked okay to me.

Is there a player that spends more time on ice or on his knees that Arvid? no.
Positive aspects Podkolzin with his best game of the year but the guy fails with hands. Lots of effort, no results.
Stecher with Nurse and Emberson with Kulak is looking like pairs. I prefer to continue with these.
Today was a huge game not just because of our record but it shows what team we are. It showed today that perhaps we're not as good as the team we had last spring.
We don't want to face Dallas again this spring. Counter to what broadcast were saying the Stars are better without Tanev, Suter, and Pavelski who were all pretty bad in playoffs. This Stars team has more youth playing more minutes. f***, I'll say it too. What I would give to have a player like Marchment. My kind of player. Tough, hard on pucks and can make plays like he did on winning goal. Nobody on ice saw that play happening except Marchment.

The fact that we played great for most of the game makes the final score look ridiculous. So frustrating! Those special teams really need to be tweaked.

Had a pretty bad turn over in the 2nd and then a miscommunication with Skinner behind the net that almost gave Dallas a goal but Arividsson bailed them out by blocking the puck from going in the net.
I'm not that worried about our special teams as a whole - we have too much talent for the pp not to be successful eventually.
Same with the PK. Nuge and Rico are both legit pk centers, and then you got Brownmark, and Ryan and Hyman are pretty legit too.
Idk it has to turn around basically - the units are filled with guys who've done it at Elite levels for years.
I also think the biggest piece of the pks struggles is we aren't getting saves - the pk tonight is the perfect example, not much the unit could have done exactly.
Skinner though... I don't have faith in Stuart Skinner at all.

Should have matched at least 1 guy and not wasted money on guys like Emberson and Dermott. We really should look at moving Arvidsson sooner rather than later if its even possible. Just isnt a good fit thus far. These are the type of teams you'd expect Arvidsson to thrive in. He didn't piss A drop the entire game. Bench his ass

How does this game not demonstrate which roster was better? Unfortunately last years club could beat you a lot of different ways. Speed, skill, tough, had some energy and zip to it. Generally today if it wasn't top or 4th line out there not much was happening.
That said our D pairs could be turning into something. Too early to tell. But Oilers not out of the woods here yet with a slow start. Team is extremely fortunate to get the 2 pts in Philly game. Without which we're in some trouble.

Don't really agree. Could be slightly better though. I think the biggest issue is still; that the top dogs don't seem to be invested in the games so far.
IMO Leon's reaction to the benching was a little too pissy given the circumstances.

Go figure 2/3 of the worst goalies are coached by shit hole overlord at his job in Dustin Schwartz.
Couple plays out of 16 and a half minutes seems whatever to me. Moreso considering nothing hurt them.

You thrust your pelvis, huh!
spending money on those guys isnt the reason they couldnt afford the other 2 by the way.
But I wouldnt expect you to know that.

I knew Garry had game managers deployed against us but did not know this year he upped it to game fixers. We don’t have a hope against that.

Oilers will make playoffs. Don't know what they do once they get there. We need some more grit in lineup. Game today sure it looked like we were running the stars but I think physically their battle on pucks was prevailing. We were winning all the faceoffs until Nuge gets beat clean on the first goal. That can't happen.

So many fails on this team right now. I think every single dman (except make Kulak) was guilty of blowing basic coverage and failing to make standard zone clears. Top line giving the puck away without a care in the world and directly responsible for GA again. Stuart Skinner vastly outplayed by his counterpart.
Woke up at 5:00 AM on a Sunday to watch this game. Was that ever a bad call on my part.

Even with the Oilers being the no.1 team in the league from Nov. 12 onwards last year (so like 75%+ of the season), Skinner still finished like 36th best in GSAA.
He's just not ... good at making higher danger saves, lol.
