GDT: Game #56: Oilers @ Flyers - 11 AM - SNW & SN1

[MessierII]

Yes you can. His effort after letting in 5 goals is meaningless. This is like when Buffalo goes undefeated when they are mathematically eliminated from the playoffs.

2 shots on goal in the 3rd to come back is more pathetic. At least he had one good period. The team somehow got worse.

 

[Duder54]

Philly looked like Stanley Cup contenders vs the Oilers tonight. What a gross effort.

 

[K1984]

There's a solid chance they at least push it to OT with even an average goalie in net

Or maybe a shot or two on goal?

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Doesn’t help that our coach has zero emotion

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

Not much positive about this game except for Klingberg at the beginning and Savoie getting his first NHL point.

 

[Messrules11]

Starting to feel like RNH has got to go. Hes a liability for us at this point. Im sure we can find a better 6 million dollar forward than him now. His hands, urgency and passiveness has become a detriment to this team terrible on the PP all season. Used to be his bread and butter.

I’ve been saying this for years, his play today was laughable. Trade him for a goalie

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

2 shots in the third LMAO

 

[unicornBLOOD]

i can't take any more Jack Michaels today.

 

[ChasinWaterfalls]

Did RNH even play today I didnt see him do a single positive thing. Just completely invisible

 

[Sanchez]

Embarrassing. Every f***ing time they come off a break; they do this shit! 2 shots this period is unacceptable!!!

 

[Roof Daddy]

McDavid has been horrible this game. I don’t give a shit about fatigue, that’s a brutal performance.

There are only a few guys who would get a passing grade in this game. Drai and Savoie would be 2 of those, so I hope they get paired together tomorrow.

Nuge can also f*** off today.

 

[iCanada]

Holy f*** that was embarrassing. This team can't handle a break

Too much fun in Cabo I guess.

That said, not really worried about it. Breaks always favor the worse teams with worse systems play.

When you get outshot 10-2 in the 3rd no there really isn’t

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

i can't take any more Jack Michaels today.

He mentioned that the Oilers were the best second period team and the Flyers the worst. It was that exact moment I knew we would lose.

 

[Oilhawks]

Knob is not the perfect coach some have praised him to be. Really bad timing pulling goalies (and refusal to pull them in bad games until it's too late) and odd obsession with mediocre goaltending / goaltending coaching in general and some lackluster offensive systems. Lack of emotion may be just an aesthetic thing but it definitely doesn't inspire (fan) confidence at times.

He could have used the two weeks to reflect on what things he could work on.

 

[McTedi]

Embarrassing. Every f***ing time they come off a break; they do this shit! 2 shots this period is unacceptable!!!

Yup, brutal

 

[K1984]

Did RNH even play today I didnt see him do a single positive thing. Just completely invisible

I saw him set up the Flyers for multiple Grade A’s, but that’s it.

 

[Murphinator]

Trash game by the team and stuart little. f*** this shit

 

[brentashton]

McDavid has been horrible this game. I don’t give a shit about fatigue, that’s a brutal performance.

Uh, your kinda jumpin the shark here…

McDavid shouldn’t have played and that’s on knobloch. Don’t care what Connor wants your the coach do what’s best.

 

[unicornBLOOD]

so many guys were bad and/or invisible today. Knob better start coaching again, or this going to continue to go downhill.

Invisible would've been an upgrade. He fed the Flyers multiple odd man breaks.

 

[Oilslick941611]

Right. That's called an expected goal, we go over this every week I feel like.

Now back up to when the flyers scored their 5th... Chances at that time were pretty well dead even.

View attachment 980866

the flyers 2nd and 3rd goals given to them by poor defensive play, a drai pass to no one leading to the flyer outskating the D and getting a breakaway and then the 3rd goal bouchard just letting the flyer skate into a tip in situation, the 4th goal was a turnover from janmark and a 2 on 1 situation.

Oilers flat out sucked this afternoon

 

[iCanada]

Stus playoff stars we’re historically bad.

They still are historically bad.

The only goaltender since they started tracking save percentage to make the finals with a lower save percentage is Kelly Hrudey.

I agree. We sucked ass today.

But Skinner gave that game away in the second, we should have been in it still.

 

[aspin3]

Too many soft old players. No forecrcheckinh. Never noticed Henrique or Perry at all. Nuge ews non existent except the bad giveaway on the pp. Torterella was gone at the tourney and he had them more ready then Knob had the Oilers ready. Too many passengers not being pushed by young guys

Oilers coach Knoblauch sends a message to Evan Bouchard after brutal turnover

Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch sat down Evan Bouchard for a brutal turnover in today's game against the Flyers. Details inside.
