Pre-Game Talk: Detroit @ edmonton 2pm

[McTedi]

Detroit doesn't even need a goalie, boys can't hit the net.

 

[Soundwave]

I know for a fact Drai and nurse have issues, it’s everywhere and I have a close friend whose seen some ****.

It's fans like this that I don't mind missing the playoffs over. Small town mentality fans like this don't deserve a playoff team.

 

[harpoon]

Where have I seen this story before?
Oilers squander all their chances, or get stoned by JG Vezina. Opposition coolly pots every chance they get.
Enjoyed the series of big hits by Pak, Kassian, Nurse and Lucic ... Oil fans take what we can get I guess.

How many wide open 2 on 1's have the Red Wings given up? Just boggles my mind that anybody can blame Talbot for any of this. Team is a disaster in front of him, not to say that he has been good either.

How does this team allow 4 on 2s so frequently.

 

[Hopelesslucicfan]

first line killing all our momentum

 

[McTedi]

How does this team allow 4 on 2s so frequently.

Lack of speed and back checking.

 

[rboomercat90]

Also I don't think Kevin Quinn knows where he is right now.

He's called an icing an offside multiple times.

He said that Athanasiou had a contract dispute with the Oilers.

He’s in mid season form.

 

[McTedi]

Hit the f***ing net pak

 

[48g90a138pts]

Mrazik has the shutout. He keeps playing like this he will get the shutout. Shutout shutout shutout shutout shutout

 

[BlackDogg]

Not one person who can shoot on the team

 

[Dashh]

Pretty obvious what's happened. Mcdavid and Drai sign big contracts now don't care as much

 

[callighenfan]

Gotta do something...the pairings are part of the problem.

At this point they're just circling back to pairings they've already shuffled away from. No matter how many times you blend pablum, it's still pablum.

 

[GodPucker]

Worst game ive ever been to. Just trash

 

[NeverForget06]

Trade them while we can I guess !

 

[booyakasha]

Wait, what is this ****? I thought Nurse, McDavid and Drai were BFF's.

they were i guess...I think someone broke the "bro code" though.

 

[McTedi]

Agreed, too many sub par dmen to build pairings out of. That's not on tmac though.

 

[ZJuice]

Worst game ive ever been to. Just trash

But you’re neutral.. there have been lots of chances on either end??

 

[Ritchie Valens]

When a team continuously makes average goalies throughout the league look like Vezina candidates, it' not the goalies-its the shooters.

This team doesn't have any goal scorers, just play makers. They either miss the net or put it into the goalie's pads, glove or chest.

 

[KCC]

Wings are playing a good game. Working hard at both ends especially on the back check. EDM is getting frustrated.

 

[CupofOil]

4-8 and haven't played any of the California teams, St. Louis or Nashville. Forget playoffs, I don't even know how they finish .500 playing like this, there's just no way.

 

[Dashh]

Haha, how would anyone credible know this ? Dudes can get any chicks they want, i doubt they need to be breaking bro codes

 

[Del Preston]

4-8-1

They've managed to be worse than the 2015-16 Oilers.

This fanbase doesn't deserve a playoff team if this is what they resort to. Hate to say it but it's true.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

This team doesn't move as a unit. It's 3 guys running around with the other 2 standing around, and watching. Thus they continually get worked into situations where they're outnumbered.

They really struggle with the concept of having the weakside guy(s) reading the play, and knowing when to attack or defend.


Effort isn't the issue as they normally carry the play and outshoot the opposition, but I have never seen a more brain-dead group.
