[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

old and slow lineup starting to show it's oldness and slowness as the season progresses

Marshmallows know how to get the job done.

Damn.

 

[McFlash97]

Should have made some changes to the PP ages ago. Country club coaching

Tbf, knoblauch has killed the chemistry Hyman used to have with McDrai because hes literally trained Hymans mind back to being a 3rd line grinder. Playing him with players with no hockey IQ

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Since this is an audition of sorts for Klingberg, I’d like to see him slot in for Nuge and Bouch at times on the PP. I think he could be good in Nuge spot. Opens up another one timer option and I think he can control the puck just as well. The change could spark a refresh for the group.

Hyman hasn't been getting it done net front. Both for screens and scoring. Try Skinner there for 5 games. Hyman hasn't seemed right all season long.

We have the killer instincts of a marshmallow

Gotta hit the net smore

 

[mcdingdong]

Pickard absolutely swimming in his net on that goal. Why are you almost in the corner on a basic zone entry. This is the guy people want to get more starts despite being even worse than Skinner in every way.
Please let's get goaltending help at the deadline.

 

[CanadasTeam99]

We still got some Chicago pps coming. Just idiots

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

David Amber and this panel sucks

 

[FlameChampion]

I don’t think this one is going to end well. Please prove me wrong Oilers.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

3 PP's which we rarely ever get in a game and all 3 were pathetic.

 

[Pip]

Bleh the lack of urgency on the powerplay is frustrating. Game could have been put away already

 

[KCC]

Oilers 4 hits after 40 mins

Edm is the least physical team in the league. They rarely hit and it gets them in trouble ant times especially in their own zone. They can be very passive because of it.

 

[LeonDraisaitl29]

This type of game needs Evander Kane out there

 

[McHelpus]

That secondary scoring is awful. Especially when considering they spent more on this group than the group that left.

Yup. Mcdavid gets the puck and everyone stands around like pylons. Move. Open up lanes. It’s stale.

Feels like it’s coaching there, tbh

Think it has more to do with motivation.

 

[FlameChampion]

3 PP's which we rarely ever get in a game and all 3 were pathetic.

Us getting more PP’s seems to be happening more recently. But this team has zero swagger on the PP this year.

 

[Drai Fi]

I know it’s probably better that we don’t have such a reliance on the PP, but I miss the days where it’d go 3/4 on the night and basically win us the game. Feels like we haven’t had one of those this year

Yup, Nuge needs to be sent a message. Get him off the pp asap.

Why move the only play will be to drai

 

[K1984]

Its actually kinda funny.

We keep farting around so it was only a matter of time.

Started with Podkolzin sending one blind and backwards across the blue line with Nurse already pinched. Managed to not get blown up on that idiotic decision, then repeatedly just kept making them until they got one.

That should be on tape in hockey schools of what not to do with a minute left in a period when you have a lead in a one goal game. Incredibly, insanely dumb by every single player on the ice.

 

[CupofOil]

Just another shit Oilers game in Shitcago, it feels like they haven't played well at Chicago since the peak Gagner years

 

[McFlash97]

Knoblauchs coached the skill out of him. Playing him with grinders all season. Hymans starting to think the game like Podkolzin. Just out there to grind and recover pucks. Hands have disappeared.

Podz has not been good tonight
