Post-Game Talk: From the jaws of defeat…

[Oilslick941611]

Nice turnaround after that awful first period. Glad they can keep pace with the rest of the Pacific that seem to keep on winning. Hyman is such a warrior.

The pacific is keeping pace with us. Not the other way around. Only Vegas is ahead of us.

Ekholm is just the best. As someone who’s never been a big-time point-producer, he’s flown way under the radar his whole career, but he’s probably one of the 15 or so best D in the league.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Skinner better than the other guy tonight.

Drai going for mvp again.

 

[rboomercat90]

Beats losing but not a game anyone is going to look back on fondly. On to the next one.

 

[TheNumber4]

In what world was the behind the net tap off Skinners helmet not the worst goal in the Florida game?

Had to be a perfect shot from an elite shooter.

Meanwhile Brown takes an average shot from the side boards that Bob sees the whole way and it slips through him.

 

[LevelingSolo]

But how?

I turned it off

Aside from McDrai in the top 10, Oilers dont have any other Forwards in the top 169 (gaggidy) of the NHL. Bouch is sitting around the bottom of the top 100.

If it wasn’t for McDrai we would be struggling for offence pretty badly I guess.

It feels rare that the Oilers win a game that late. Team isn’t very clutch. So enjoy this one.

Pretty ugly game overall. Skinner has a tendency of starting bad but then solidifying as the game goes on. Would like to see this team push earlier to get the tieing goal. Usually they don’t start to push until theres like 5 mins left. Usually they run out of time but they got rewarded tonight.

Another game where no one has anything going offensively except the usual suspects.

Its almost January and still not really sure what to make of this team.

Luckily I don’t think there are many great teams in the league let alone the west.

3 points back of the division lead.

Vegas just took the lead…and strangely enough I don’t mind since it’s against the Canucks.

 

[McTonyBrar]

Skinner made some good to great saves tonight

*runs and hides*

That guy is going to have a stroke.

...Both kinds.

 

[Oilslick941611]

Hyman has like 10 goals since being left off Team Canada I think lol

We all knew it was coming for him. He was doing everything right when he wasn’t scoring before his injury.

 

[BudBundy]

Heck of a comeback.

We need to get Jeff Skinner going. Dude can't be playing 8 minutes a night.

The guy sucks. Needs others to do the work for him to score. Defensive liability. Gives puck away like a Pez dispenser. He needs to grow a pair and earn more minutes. We are trying to win a cup here and I don’t care how many points he’s put up playing for playoff pretenders.

God her tears are the best tasting ones. They really are.

You answered your own question

 

[Drivesaitl]

Looked like a loss, felt like a loss but they won. Played way better last game and lost so maybe some vindication.

Nah. Boston are weaksauce this season. I'm disappointed we even gave them a point. Not a pretty effort by the Oilers tonight but take the W. Bruins spend the last two periods trying to defend a 2 goal lead against the Oilers. Sorry but that is a dumb as hammers thing to do. If The Bruins were in the WC they would miss the playoffs this season. If any team heats up in the east they could miss.

Lol pastaman. Had the third goal on his stick several times and either missed net or passed off. He's also responsible on Oilers two last goals for not only turning puck over in NZ but then going for a line change. Take the W but Pasta should be ashamed about that game.

Conversely I thought Drai was weak for half the game, then settled in, still gets 3 assists.

Debrusk fellating the bruins all the game despite them being just bad. Bad PP, bad PK, how many things can they be bad at? I don't think this new coach is the answer either. Bear is dying. But any club trying to Nurse a one goal lead while turning the puck over as much as Bruins do. I don't think thats gonna work on the Oilers.

 

[TheNumber4]

Everyone keeps saying Drai had a goal and 3 assists???

My math ain't mathing on that one.

I read it and my mind couldn’t comprehend but cause it’s Drai I’m like of course he did.

 

[MoontoScott]

I love the McDavid tying goal... he went hard to the net and got a junk goal which is a strong lesson that it doesn't have to be a pretty passing play to score... it just has to cross the goal line in any way possible.

Yup, just go to the net even if you are a superstar.

 

[CupofOil]

Nice win. I'm putting my dog of 16 1/2 years to sleep tomorrow so the Oilers pulling this out gave me a little happiness before the devastation that tomorrow is going to bring so thanks for this Oilers. Have a good night HFOil

LA is ahead of us and has won 8 of 10. Vegas winning tonight too. I want first in the division so badly this playoffs, home ice would be huge for them

 

[TheNumber4]

And they left Zachary Hyman off team Canada lol

Good come back win Oil

That’s cause it isn’t really Team Canada. It’s Armstrongs Ego Stroking Team.

I love the McDavid tying goal... he went hard to the net and got a junk goal which is a strong lesson that it doesn't have to be a pretty passing play to score... it just has to cross the goal line in any way possible.

He made the (correct) simple play on the 1st goal as well instead of trying to force a pass through the middle.

 

[MessierII]

My math ain't mathing on that one.

He had a beautiful tip in the first shift of the game. Wrong net but a beauty goal nonetheless.

Oh man, sorry to hear that. They give you some of the best days of your life and then one of the absolute worst. My condolences.
