GDT: Game #64: Oilers @ Sabres - 5 PM - SNW

[CupofOil]

This game is a strong candidate for most annoying game of the year, right up there with the Washington loss at home.

I am totally shocked that Kris Knoblauch running a country club has led to Evan Bouchard becoming a lazy piece of garbage. Who knew no consequences, ever, for anything would lead to zero improvement?

He needs to be sent back down to the AHL. He's playing like a goalie from the 80's

 

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

Omg. Why is their goalie making a save on a cross ice passed 1-timer from the leagues top goal scorer? That’s not allowed. You are supposed to let in every quality chance and blame it on the skaters.

And not looking like a fish flopping out of water too.

 

[Canovin]

Oilers have the offense to win this... and the goaltending to lose it.

yin-yang

That should be our slogan instead of chop wood carry water

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

nope, he sucks at defending

 

[ThePhoenixx]

Just checked in. 3 goals in 15 shots?

Good thing they didn't need goaltending.

Lol, idk about that. The guys in the 80s were flexible, quick, and athletic.

 

[KCC]

Looks like stu’s muffin goal will be the difference.

 

[rboomercat90]

Does any team in the league get less “ deflection “ goals than Edmonton?

Eventually you need to shoot the puck towards the net to get a deflection goal. These guys just pass it around looking for the “can’t miss” shot until they lose the puck.

 

[Vagabond]

Stu's save attempt was the most fukking cringe thing I've seen since Pods stupid-failed pass and Bouchard's lethargic defensive play.

Put J.Skinner in Pods spot.

Nothing we can do about the goaltending now other than swearing at the TV. Skinner is useless.

 

[OilerMcLord]

That was a stupid drop pass to Bouch that failed.

Agreed...

...AAANNNDDD it was all of Bouchard taking 2-3 hard strides and rim the puck off the boards that also prevents the goal.

 

[Shanahanigans]

I hate this team's bottom 6 so much. We have no 4th line centre, and Henrique is not a 3rd line C at this stage of his career. Aside from Perry, I wouldn't mind seeing every single one of them gone in the summer. Utterly useless.

 

[TheLegend27]

I feel like I've been living in Groundhog Day since the start of the season. Every game it seems like our save percentage is lower than theirs and we always chalk it off to our defense.

Everything about this game is dumb. Inability to shoot into an open net about 5 times, refusal to shoot generally, dicking with the puck at the offensive blue line, and terrible goaltending. All dumb.

Just like Game 7, but I know a certain poster or two who will blame McDrai again as is tradition.

Pretty steady re-occurring theme from T-Mac through to Knob.

 

[tardigrade81]

Wow full split save. Cool

What do you want him to do, not jump out of the way?

I guess they started listening to Coffey his "defense"

 

[nexttothemoon]

Worst team in the East and the Oilers are basically a coin flip in this game with Skinner in net.

Doesn't bode well for a 7 game series vs any decent playoff team.

 

[BlackDogg]

Atrocious McDavid pass. drink

 

[North]

Pretty steady re-occurring theme from T-Mac through to Knob.

So…is it the players or the coaches?

 

[Perfect_Drug]

Buffalo is Minnesota East.
