GDT: DIG IN! RIGHT NOW! Mantra of the 24-25 Season starts today! Oilers v Jets, 8 PM

[Tobias Kahun]

Is your friend "special" by any chance?

Probably a Canucks fan.

So the answer would be yes.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

The Oilers have given up 4 high danger chances, and theres been 5 goals scored.

So? They were grade AAA chances

 

[Oilhawks]

Well there's a confidence builder, Skinner pulled in game one.

f*** his confidence, him and the team need a wake up call.

Unacceptable, 'woe is me' type of performance. You lost in game 7 of the Finals last year, grow up and be ready to work game 1 of the season.

 

[On The Prowl]

Always the goalies fault..every goalie that comes here sucks
But the only constant is the dogshit defense

I think a goalie at the level of Hellebucyk would look 100% better even with our defense. Mike Smith is probably the best goalie we have had in recent memory, even with his occasional terrible game.

 

[pabst blue ribbon]

Top 6 has created some pretty decent looks so far, blue liners and goalie have been the problem for the most part

 

[oilers4life5]

Wow the refs even love to f*** us down 4-0.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Jets make you earn the ice, they play a good clean system. We think we can score off the rush and then back to the point for the shot and nobody crashing the net for the rebound.

They also defend with little hooks all over the ice like Emberson got called for.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

So? They were grade AAA chances

I can't believe Tobias sees flaws in Bowland's master plan...

 

[iCanada]

That pull should have happened at 4-0..

Or 3-0...

When you're only batting a .6, get out.

 

[Jumptheshark]

hangovers from long playoff runs are a thing. We could be in for a shakey 15-20 games

Panthers go

 

[rboomercat90]

Is Nurse the worst dman in the league? yes

You’re in big trouble when your 9 million dollar defenseman isn’t a top 4 defender.

 

[Vagabond]

I'm going for a jog and going to bed. Fook I hate how this team starts shitty every season.

 

[Tarus]

Embarrassing start by Skinner, pucks going right through him.

Team in front of him must have been expecting every shot to go in

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Cant wait for Stuart Skinner's excuses post game about how he thought he played good.

 

[Shizuka]

Jets make you earn the ice, they play a good clean system. We think we can score off the rush and then back to the point for the shot and nobody crashing the net for the rebound.

No question, Jets are an excellent team defensively and a top tier opponent. That, coupled with the complete disinterest and lack of compete from this lineup and here we are.

 

[ZJuice]

What does $5 on the Oilers winning pay out if I bet now? Tell me Gretzky / Cabbie / Pronger anyone!!

 

[Old Boys Club]

They’ve decided to start the season exactly the same as last year. Nice

 

[HockeyGuy1964]

This fu**ing team!

 

[OfCorsiDid]

Do we fire Knob for Woody after 12 games this time?

 

[russ99]

A little late, but good call.

I think a goalie at the level of Hellebucyk would look 100% better even with our defense. Mike Smith is probably the best goalie we have had in recent memory, even with his occasional terrible game.

problem is those guys are rarely acquirable and when they are it’s top dollar in UFA and that’s super risky with any goalie.

 

[CanadasTeam99]

Cant wait for Stuart Skinner's excuses post game about how he thought he played good.

I'm praying we somehow upgrade on him.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

So? They were grade AAA chances

the 5 goals are AAA chances?

First year watching the NHL?

NHL goalies are paid to stop the puck and stop some defensive breakdowns.

 

[Oilhawks]

They also defend with little hooks all over the ice like Emberson got called for.

Yup. Best part is going to be watching the Jets look mediocre most of the rest of the season. This is all on the Oilers not being ready to play.

 

[Davo Ikinzom]

Ok I had enough. TV is off. I can't handle this pathetic effort.

You're gonna miss the 3rd period comeback!

 

[Shizuka]

Or 3-0...

When you're only batting a .6, get out.

Right? Like why man, he's obviously not feeling it. It's the season opener, pull him already.
