Post-Game Talk: Goalie Bobbed in Game 1

[Sheikyerbouti]

Did Perry and Mcloud had any hits tonight, disappointing.

Depends, do we count the hits Mcleod bailed on and poked his stick at?

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

On the bright side - this game makes your gentleman sweep prediction look pretty plausible.

We beat ourselves tonight, if we clean it up easy to see us bouncing back. All Florida really had was what we gave them.

We win the cup if KK adjusts. We lose the cup if he goes back with what lines he ran in the 3rd and the D pairs. We dominated at times in the first 40 and got goalied.

Frustrating our best line 13 19 28 got no ice time in the 3rd yet he played 39 71 like crazy and cut 93s ice time. 25 and 5 go brain dead for 4 seconds and cost us the game.

Please God do not allow Bright KK to turn into Dummy Jay.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

The most frustrating thing for me is thing is that this was obvious before tonights game yet Knobby tired them again anyway.

Desharnais should be in for one of these guys period. Broberg has been good enough to stay in, neither of Ceci or Nurse were good enough tonight.

 

[TheNumber4]

Disagree. The second one was all nurse. 2 oilers behind the net alresdy with the one panther and where does Nurse go? Behind the net

I’ll have to watch it again. But no back check or coverage on net front shooter is also part of the break down.

So probably 3 way blame on this play.

Ceci loses puck battle (it happens)
Nurse not positioned properly to cut off pass lane
Kane not back pressuring the shooter.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Nurse let kulak do most of the work with the puck and kulak could read plays. And same with Ceci depending on Broberg. Put them back together and we just multiply their ineptness again. Just a crazy decision

Wonder if there was money on this game.

 

[McBigYak]

Broberg about to pay the price for how useless Nurse and Ceci have been. Unless Knob has the balls to scratch one of them

 

[frag2]

Didn’t love the wingers effort on either GA. Hyman and Kane both could’ve supported the D more. No idea what Nurse was doing on that 2nd one though

I thought Hyman really struggled all night.

Broberg was fantastic on break outs again, I don’t see him coming out of the lineup ever again

Neither did Nurse

 

[Shizuka]

Perry just has nothing left unfortunately

Yeah.. time to put him out to pasture here, he has made zero contributions on ice. Slow AF, doesn't really hit or involve himself much in play, and isn't particularly reliable defensively either. Would rather see Ryan or Carrick, hell even Gagner back in at this point, over this washed up has been.

 

[JeffSkinner53]

All good. Bobrovsky won't be that good next game. Lots of chances.

 

[guymez]

Desharnais should be in for one of these guys period. Broberg has been good enough to stay in, neither of Ceci or Nurse were good enough tonight.

I hear you but I just cant see Knobby pulling Ceci or Nurse. Broberg had a really good game so he sure doesnt deserve to get the hook.
I have no idea what Knobby is going to do.

 

[larek]

Oilers outplayed them maybe aside from the 3rd
But I thot Bouchard was weak offensively tonight too many blocked shot missed the net shots and passes intercepted

Puck has to go up to beat brovsky right now
And I don't think hardly any were high
Mostly low to medium

Hopkins had the chance seems to go a little to quick missed opened upper part of net

Better quality shots and Oilers will win

Gentleman sweep incoming!

Atleast we know we can play a game where we control the puck and possession and chance share. Really tons of positives to take from this game.

 

[CupofOil]

Bouchard was horrible tonight.
So many bobbles and unforced errors

It was an odd night for him, he was very good defensively and physical but he was a mess in the offensive zone with bobbled pucks and his shot getting blocked countless times. Still liked most of his game though, controlled the play pretty well in the neutral zone but once in the offensive zone he was off.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Yeah.. time to put him out to pasture here, he has made zero contributions on ice. Slow AF, doesn't really hit or involve himself much in play, and isn't particularly reliable defensively either. Would rather see Ryan or Carrick, hell even Gagner back in at this point, over this washed up has been.

I wonder if he's injured? He was at least chippy in the regular season. I wonder if he got hurt in the YVR series?

 

[FlameChampion]

Doesn’t really matter if we win game 2. Hopefully we do. Ugh.

 

[MoontoScott]

We literally have no functional line 3

Foegele McLeod Perry

Or a 2nd pairing

Nurse Ceci

Perry looked slow tonight. Foegele skated miles but accomplished nothing.

Bench strength is pretty shallow now though.

 

[MessierII]

Switch the D pairings back and Ryan in for Perry. McLeod back to the wing.

 

[Broberg Speed]

Didn’t love the wingers effort on either GA. Hyman and Kane both could’ve supported the D more. No idea what Nurse was doing on that 2nd one though

I thought Hyman really struggled all night.

Broberg was fantastic on break outs again, I don’t see him coming out of the lineup ever again

I liked Henriques game. He only played 12:21 tonight. Only 4/15 on faceoffs.

Should he be playing wing in the top 6?

 

[guymez]

I’ll have to watch it again. But no back check or coverage on net front shooter is also part of the break down.

So probably 3 way blame on this play.

Ceci loses puck battle (it happens)
Nurse not positioned properly to cut off pass lane
Kane not back pressuring the shooter.

The 2nd goal was Nurse all day.
I have no idea wft he was doing.

Its like he is the real life version of Walter Mitty. He just zones out.

 

[Ibanez]

Nurse reverted back to his old ways. First shot Skinner strikes again.

I don’t blame skinner at all for this game. But one guy made big saves and the other one didn’t

Shrug. Need to get to Bob early next game

 

[Captain Fantastic]

FO SPEC !!

 

[iCanada]

We win the cup if KK adjusts. We lose the cup if he goes back with what lines he ran in the 3rd and the D pairs. We dominated at times in the first 40 and got goalied.

Idk - my 6 year old niece has figured out bad things happen when Nurse plays with Ceci already... How has an NHL team not figured it out?

Same with my 8 year old nephew and Bobrovsky - since biz was talking about how you have to beat him high last series that's all he talks about. "Got to go where Grandma keeps the cookies." Lol.

Somehow our coaching staff and pro scouts have missed the f***ing memo. It's kind of unbelievable.

 

[foshizzle]

Just 1 game, not gonna sweat it. Play like this in Game 2 and the series is probably tied.

I just have a few words to sum up this game. Nurse-Ceci, why?

Monumentally stupid to put Nurse and Ceci together and expect different results. Skinner simply can’t let in 2 goals on the first 5 shots. The first shot of the game and first shot of the second period. Goalies under Schwartz suffer from this problem

 

[TheNumber4]

Thing is they were fine last series. What reason was there to reunite them?

Knobs feel I think. A feel that Ceci and Nurses game were up ticking.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

I hear you but I just cant see Knobby pulling Ceci or Nurse. Broberg had a really good game so he sure doesnt deserve to get the hook.
I have no idea what Knobby is going to do.

We are trying to win a cup, Nurse and Ceci are not going to be in the top 10 reasons that we win the cup, but they are definitely going to be top 3 reasons as to why we wouldn't win the cup if this continues.
