GDT: Game #13: Prime Time - Devils @ Oilers - 6:30 pm - Amazon Prime

[Oilhawks]

Playing back to back against a team that had 10 days off. This league never ceases to amaze me.

The scheduler may have two brain cells to rub together, anything beyond that seems unlikely

I blame Skinner. He's so ass we had to give him the easy game last night and it threw the boys off. Can't blame the effort, but we again have no ability to score from distance and aren't a threat unless it's a perfect passing tap-in. No ability to get to the middle and finish

That might go into the hall of fame as world's worst take.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Just score a goal for f***s sake.

 

[Sanchez]

Nobody wants to get in front of the net

 

[onetweasy]

Not quite the same at all. We were 2 and 9 after 11 games last year. It's an 82 game schedule. Relax everyone. Some of you I swear are new to hockey

Some of us are not new at hockey……..but fill your boots if you’re watching this Oilers team and you’re thinking “Cup Contender”.

 

[OilersFanatics505]

f*** the Refs, f*** the schedulers, f*** the Satans, f*** Bettman. This season is going nowhere fast.

 

[CanadasTeam99]

I can’t get vested in this season. We look worse in basically every area of the game.

And for the love of f***ing god find a goalie that actually outplays an opposing goalie.

It is hard to get invested, I turned this sucker off after 2. I watched the full game last night. First time I sat and watched an entire game.

i can't get excited until we get a goalie and upgrade a dman TBH. I don't care if we start scoring 5 a game. Do not trust them at all.

Bit early for that no? No offense.

Nobody wants to get in front of the net

The funny thing is the Oilers have 3 forwards who have made their living doing that across their career - Perry, Hyman, and Arvidsson.

 

[harpoon]

Nice finally getting some action?

 

[Zerotonine]

Out goalied again

Just not geling. Everyone squeezing sticks a little tight and it shows. We gotta have lowest goals total in the league gesus

 

[iCanada]

The PK is the most critical issue with the team right now, with inconsistent goaltending and offense nearby. Stuart’s seat should be feeling a little warm. He has the personnel

I mean, we have a historically low pk save percentage, too.

Half our pk goals against are just muffins that should be easily saved.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

 

[onetweasy]

They don't even have to outplay the other guy. Shit, I'm just looking for the chance of their save percentage starting with a 9 being better than a coin flip...

100%.

I am so tired of watching shitty goaltending.

 

[Ibanez]

I can’t get vested in this season. We look worse in basically every area of the game.

And for the love of f***ing god find a goalie that actually outplays an opposing goalie.

I’ve watched about 60 percent “full” games.

Tough to get vested with what we are seeing on the ice. A lot of nothing happening on the ice most nights

Just hoping McDavid comes back angry (he hates not playing) and we tread water for the first 20 games before we finally remember how to play hockey. Our shooting percentage will improve to the mean.

Just sucks we’ve had two years I row where we look disinterested most nights. Someone played with an ouija board or something. I’m guessing it was bouch. He has a naive look to his face.

 

[NedPlimpton]

Big blah.

You're not the brightest bulb lol it's an 82 game schedule. Oilers were much worse last year at this time

 

[Sanchez]

Why bother pulling goalie?

 

[LeonDraisaitl29]

Imagine paying for Amazon prime specifically for this game. I did not do that.

 

[CanadasTeam99]

Out goalied again

It's not great

Worst PK
ALmost worst PP
Sh** goaltending overall
Worst shooting %

 

[Oilers88]

It's been a while since Knob went to his patented move of pulling the goalie with 45 minutes left in the game

 

[Soundwave]

Buddy, last year this team had an insane set of young forwards and defenseman who could skate like the wind to look forward too... we had nothing to lose. They just all let loose by February. This years team has no hope of ever being that dynamic or skilled. You seem to be new at hockey if you think the situations are similar at all.

Skill level is the same.

Oilers have had mediocre starts now in 4/5 seasons. They were terrible last year to start, couldn't defend anything.

Just is what it is. Last time they had a good start to a season Dave Tippet was coach and they followed that up with an epic collapse in December/Jan to get him fired, lol.

They are just the dictionary definition of slow starters.

 

[McFlash97]

The funny thing is the Oilers have 3 forwards who have made their living doing that across their career - Perry, Hyman, and Arvidsson.

Arvidsson and Perry are rubbing off on Hyman. Neither drive the net anymore due to age or past injuries, just sort of floating in the perimeter. Arvidsson, just ticks me off. WTF is he doing trying to be finesse ? he was never a finesse player in his career, all of a sudden he's trying to tic tac toe with Draisaitl, taking weak fairy shots from the top of the slot into the goalies chest.

 

[Sanchez]

Have we got a shot since goalie pull?
