GDT: Game #57: Oilers @ Capitals - 11 AM - Sportsnet

[CrazyJoeDavola]

Year 10 of McDavid and we have 2 average backup tendy tandem

 

[LTIR]

We have 8 seconds left....just keep passing it around

Shows the brain capacity of some of these players.

f***ing hell Pickard

I'm willing to try a 5 year old in net at this point

It seems like every other team knows how to tip pucks, never see the Oilers get goals like that.

Our forwards are too small and don’t want to go to the front of the net. We’ve been saying that since October. It gets worse as the season goes on because they’re worn out from being physically over matched every night.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Solid 1st period until the big rebound goal and then it was all Caps after that. If management doesn't upgrade the goaltending they are absolutely clueless.

 

[oXo Cube]

Team is really going through it right now. Pretty much nobody playing well.

We're not firing the coach this time so it's up to the players to decide what they want to be because the last 10 games or so haven't been close to good enough.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Been saying this same exact thing the last 10 games or so. They're a low intensity team in general

This is what happens when your coach just has everyone take a nap in the locker room when giving the pregame speech

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Clearly neither goalie is good enough.

It Skinner was actually positioned right he saves it

Both goalies suck.

Nope. But it shows we desperately need a goaltending upgrade…

I don’t think people are arguing that Pickard is a good goalie either.

I was told we should run with Pickard for awhile

 

[Messrules11]

I know you are making fun of people who post about skinner but its a good reminder to say that SV% doesn't matter until the end of the game.

Save % always matters, posting it during the game is the silly part

Whatever.. McDavid will score 100+ points again but will likely finish the season in minus for +/- stat.

 

[BlackDogg]

Giving up the lead to the Avs and being their bitch again is not looking great now.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

They should've set up traffic and gone for a Bouchard shot or a shot from Connor or Leon. Not much time to get stuff done otherwise unless there is a breakdown in the PK.

 

[rboomercat90]

Hear me out.

We should trade for a goalie.

This is coming from left field. Can you tell us why you think that?

 

[LeonDraisaitl29]

We have the answer....he can do the splits and lives in Regina, Saskatchewan...but Gary won't allow it

 

[iCanada]

I was told we should run with Pickard for awhile

I mean... In their last 10 one guy is .914 and 8-2 the other is 3-7 and .863.

Which do you think should get the starts?

They WERE playing well until the 1-1 goal. Much better than yesterday to that point.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Good iso on Savoie. They need to transplant the rookie's brain into half their forward roster. Smart instincts, anticipation, and decision making. This team has questions in all position areas imo. Work needs to be done.

 

[Anemia]

Nuge + Arvidsson on the same line against a big strong team like the Caps. Just braindead coaching decisions.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

The Oilers no longer 1st in the Pacific, didn't mind the effort in the first period, but this is the decline, too bad about this year, they looked really good at times, ah well can't win'em all or at all.

 

[LeonDraisaitl29]

1 dollar donut, but all the chocolate is stuck to the bag

 

[unicornBLOOD]

2nd best team that period, 2nd best goalie that period, 2nd best PK that period, 2nd most physical team that period. this team is headed in the wrong direction.

 

[Whoshattenkirkshoes]

It's all going to unravel. We need a monster deadline

The coaching isn't the problem, lets not scapegoat another one. The Oilers have been a low intensity team for years under many different coaches.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

It's always silly you pretend to care while not knowing anything about anyone here besides McDrai

 

[Bryanbryoil]

wtf does Arvidsson bring to the table exactly? IMO Nuge is looking better as a center today (he usually does) but Arvidsson has been shit no matter where he plays.
