GDT: Game #14: Golden Knights @ Oilers: 6:30 PM - Sportsnet

Didn’t foresee them being this shit on home ice

 

[kevy9999]

This team is so boring to watch this year. Half the players don’t even look like they’re putting in any effort

Bouchard sure didn't on the goal. He has zero intensity and hustle

 

[Heavy Dee]

The one thing that gets coaches fired is special teams. The longer this goes.... Just sayin

 

[Vagabond]

The Oil have completely lost thier scoring touch. It's too early in the season to write them off but good riddance. Is the cup finals all they wanted? They don't want to put the grind in to earn a playoff spot..

Do they need to fire another coach? W t f is wrong with these guys? ..Aside from goaltending and lack of scoring.

The defense actually looks decent. They're 4th in shot suppression. They're 4th in high danger chances allowed. They're almost dead last in goaltending and offense along with special teams.

I often wondered if the Giordano takeout was the one that changed things and created something long term.

and all the uncalled obstruction punishment the guy takes.

We play this way on home ice until the new year every season. Get used to it.

 

[Sanchez]

Reversing it on zone entry has to stop. It’s the system and it’s killing us.

I swear they are the only team that consistently do this; not attacking

 

[Shizuka]

Not a great showing thus far, once again coming out a bit flat. That lack of speed attacking the neutral and backing off D is pretty readily apparent, and this team doesn't really generate well off cycle play.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

It’s frightening how bad this team is offensively.

 

[Kerberos]

This team may score less than 200 goals this season with how horrendous the offense looks.

 

[K1984]

It’s not a bad tactic if we had guys actually going to the net to back off the defense. We don’t though.

Enter zone, stop, reverse, don’t go to net, turn it over. Rinse and repeat.

 

[brentashton]

Now we listen to everyone saying how well they've played and are winning the Corsi battles yet again.

And how are McLeod,Broberg and Holloway doing.

There no give a shit on offence, only 3 players get to the net, and they are content to pass it around the perimeter and look for the perfect shot, but teams know this and they stay tight and square so the point shots go right into the defences skates. extremely predictable play from a team loaded with skill that refuses to use that skill.

Pretty sure his rocket season came after that. That was my favourite McDavid season. He was so shot adverse last year. Not sure what he is this year.

 

[Oilhawks]

Why did this team become so boring offensively?

 

[Nunymare]

We’re like the reverse Vancouver Canucks of last year, wtf

Hmmm….and here I thought it was too many losses.

 

[Oilslick941611]

Vegas didn't even look good that period either

 

[Shanahanigans]

This team has nobody that can hit and play with emotion on a regular basis. Most of these guys are on back side of their careers and are just not good enough anymore. RNH, Henrique, Skinner, Nurse, Janmark, Brown, Ryan, the list goes on and on. If McDrai don't take over every game we are toast. Horrible way to build a team, we're right back to the Tippet era Oilers but much older.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Bouch and Skinner really shit the bed on that GA.

 

[RandomGuy79]

Just fire Knob already and hire the Q. You know it's going to happen.

 

[K1984]

You don’t even need to be good to beat us.

Just box out in the d zone, wait for us to turn it over, break out uncontested. Doesn’t even require effort. Pilons could defend this.

 

[McShogun99]

Regular season always starts in January.

Yup. Getting an Elias Pettersson vibe.

 

[CanadasTeam99]

This feels like a season where the team looks good on paper, for the most part (D needs upgrading and goalie can be questionable), but nothing clicks at all.

Like when teams have made a finals and then just missed out the following year
