GDT: Game #42: Oilers @ Blackhawks - 5 PM - SNW

[WhyYouHaveToBeMad]

to be fair, i dont recall Drai ever back checking like he did on Bedard during the regular season before.

I meant had potential to be Kopitar level good. But this season he's actually doing it

 

[Messrules11]

Oh ffs. Knob better get his shit together, I’m so sick of sleepwalking into games. Just a brutal period so far.

 

[VeteranPresence]

LOLLLL. Bowman the Chairwarmer in Chief deserves this fate against his old team after neglecting the goaltending file through 50 exhibition and regular season games. Completely buffoonery.

 

[K1984]

It was fun while it lasted Pickard but back to the AHL with you…..

Sadly it will probably take another half dozen starts like this before management will recognize that they might maybe need a new backup.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

Top line needs to be split to build some accountability defensively. That was on Pickard, but it’s a circus every shift for that line.

I mean it’s really odd to watch.

It’s just weak battle effort followed by a giveaway even if we get it.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Getting bent over by Pittsburg and Chicago in a row can’t happen can it?

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Pickard was good for a bit but more and more we see why he was in the AHL for most of his career.

 

[CrazyJoeDavola]

Would be f***ing nice if we could have a goalie bail us out for once when we come out flat. I know we shouldn't, but we never win because of stellar goaltending

 

[booyakasha]

Whenever McDavid line jumps over the boards, ... guaranteed goal against.

 

[Old Boys Club]

Another no-show. What a lazy team

 

[McTonyBrar]

Pickard… he’s providing some stellar Schwartz goaltending.

This guy has gotten worse as the season has gone on against bad teams. I can’t believe a lot of thought Mr. Nice Guy is better than Skinner

 

[ManByng]

Two stinkers against two shit teams

Yup here we go again

Hyman back to the third line please

 

[Pip]

McDavid’s line and Nurse Kulak have had some very poor coverage on both goals. Need a save on that second one though.

They loop, none of the three of them stop on pucks. Just chase it around the wall and then get beat constantly through the middle.

 

[TheNumber4]

Dominating Boston for 40 minutes apparently was our Cup final and it’s time to take a break from good hockey.

 

[KCC]

If EDM loses to the Pens and now Chicago, then they have 6 tough games coming up with the Kings, Wild, Avs, Nucks twice and Caps. They could drop quite fast in the standings if they don't lock in.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Second hard and fast weak side board rebound goal in recent games. Fortuitous. Backdoor coverage can't get there.

Chicago lots of jump on their back to back, 3 games in 5 days. Oil legs will need to be better later in this game.

 

[BlackDogg]

Paging Connor McDavid

 

[Old Boys Club]

McDavid has been terrible the last 10 games

 

[CanadasTeam99]

Would be f***ing nice if we could have a goalie bail us out for once when we come out flat. I know we shouldn't, but we never win because of stellar goaltending

That happens maybe once a season or twice. We don't get that.

 

[tardigrade81]

Bring back Koskinen

I'm ok with this.

 

[NegativeNelly]

Usually a team has a real starting goalie. We have 2 backup goalies and we continue to get backup performances.

not worried, historically this team sucks agaisnt bad teams and plays well against top teams.

Did they just say McDavid is not on the bench?

Best Knob can do is scratch Jeff Skinner some more, accountability isn’t for the tenured vets.
