GDT: Game #61: Oilers vs. Ducks - 7 PM - SN1

[Murphinator]

Youre f***ing insane if you think mcdavid will waste the rest of his career playing with these two f***heads in net

 

[Shizuka]

Leon standing right beside the guy made no effort to check him. All these guys have quit. We’ve got issues with this club right now and it might not just be the goaltending.

This is what I just don't get. They were in FIRST. How they hell did they literally abandon everything that put them there and set it to cruise control? Are they expecting to coast for the remaining 1/4 of the season and expecting to be prepared for playoff hockey?

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Team has already gotten out the golf clubs. Our Cup window has officially slammed shut.

 

[MessierThanThou]

Concerted effort to try and get a goalie for playoffs.

It might be the only way they can get one.... And even then it's anything but a sure thing.

 

[Oilslick941611]

97 is gone, no chance he re signs in this clown show

Hes a part of the clown show as well. He isn't above criticism. Dude totally forgot how to play hockey.

 

[Jarvi]

When was the last time loading up McDrai saved us? More and more I think that it just deflates the rest of the group, and together they are worse defensively than apart.

I don't doubt that bad goaltending can impact the way a team plays, and there have definitely been games where the team dominated but got hung out to dry by their goaltending. That's not what's happening right now- a lot of their mistakes are pure lack of effort or attention. We allowed a breakaway in the first minute of the game. Last game, we were leading by one, Carolina took a penalty in the final minute of the game, and we somehow allowed the Canes a shorthanded breakaway. I have a really hard time pinning that on the team not trusting their goalies. The team has their heads up their collective asses right now (goaltenders included), and they need to get their shit together quickly.

The fight is gone for these goaltenders, they've given up on them.

It's human nature, the trust is gone. They're just tired. It's like that one idiot coworker you have that f***s everything up all the time.

At a certain point your will to keep hustling for them dies.

It's even worse because Skinner gets spit shines all day every day.

 

[Pip]

Despite how terrible the team has played if you swapped goalies this is probably a 1 goal game.

 

[Ibanez]

What's up with this team lately? Seems like the lines have no cohesive chemistry, lack of trying/passion too.

Effort still required to win games.

And when we don’t have effort we have terrible goalies that can’t keep us in games

It’s a poor formula

 

[McHelpus]

If he actually does, 97 leaving might be enough to finally end my fandom of this team. Squandered a decade of the 3rd best player of all time’s career.

Least tickets will be dirt cheap lol.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Hyman looks rough

Yes. With this group the simple answer is yes.

 

[Sanchez]

Gudas will get a 2K fine tomorrow

 

[NeverForget06]

Should we just trade McDavid at the deadline? lol you guys are so dramatic

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Least tickets will be dirt cheap lol.

With Katz? I don't think so.

 

[MessierThanThou]

Bouch adding to his blooper reel. Still love the guy.

 

[McFlyingV]

It might be the only way they can get one.... And even then it's anything but a sure thing.

 

[Oilhawks]

97 is gone, no chance he re signs in this clown show

He's been a huge part of the problem this year, and honestly, JJ and Knob are here because of him, and he has input on the roster moves, no question

This is his team. Maybe he'll quit on them like a loser though

 

[McTedi]

Why would Drai bother to backcheck knowing stu can't stop it anyway

Hmmm, logic seems sound.

they've given up on eachother, not just the goalie.

No one skated over to Hyman to check on him after the high hit.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Can we trade for Dostal?

 

[ArthurAnyMoreDonuts]

This team looks like they quit. I don't blame them either. How do you go into the season with two back up goalies? Also, RNH, Brown, Arvidsson, and Janmark can f*** off.

 

[Sanchez]

Oh look a goalie making a save

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

What an embarrassing collection of individuals who play hockey together. Team defending is a concept not helped by highly erratic goaltending. Asses spanked at home by the Ducks.

 

[bellagiobob]

I hate to see my team lose, but if they’re going to lose, I wouldn’t mind a 10-1 game against a bottom feeder. Would be no warts to hide after that.
