Post-Game Talk: Holland dithers, Oilers lose

[OilerTyler]

Stop shooting 1st in SO Woodcroft ffs

Does every team elect to shoot first each time? I've never paid enough attention to know.

With how bad our shooters are it might be best to go second to take some pressure off of our goalie.

 

[McJadeddog]

This team blows

1 win in their last 5

imagine sending down Desharnais to keep Pulju + Yamo up

Yeah we have been really bad since the all star break, like really bad. Things about to get worse with a guaranteed loss in an afternoon game against the cup champs on Sunday.

 

[PostBradMalone]

If McDavid isn’t calling Katz with an “…or else” ultimatum right about now, he’s doing his own career a major disservice. He is far too special to be wasting his prime for such a shit GM. Make a trade, you f***ing impotent dinosaur.

 

[bellagiobob]

Another embarrassing home ice loss, this time blowing three goal leads twice. Thoroughly outplayed by the Rags all night long, with Campbell the only reason we get a loser point. The shootout attempts by some of our guys were comically pathetic.

 

[GrumpyKoala]

Woodcroft get paid to be coached.
Drai is an insult to what make hockey great. Iv seen mortgage bankers with more heart ffs

 

[Ritchie Valens]

They're the home team, why the f*** are they going first on the shootout. Put the pressure on the other goalie to make the winning save.

 

[VainGretzky]

McDavid needs to stop with those slow wide angle tries as well use that speed and deke with that speed

 

[Jumptheshark]

Well atleast we got yet another loser point

 

[belair]

Trade for Henrique and LTI Draisaitl til the end of the year.

 

[I am the Liquor]

2 shots in the third…..

 

[Oildrum]

I’m assuming woodcroft just puts all the names in a hat to decide who shoots in the shootout. Only way it makes any sense.

Oilers fans when they see their home record - nothing

Oilers fans when the usual suspects have their horrible games - nothing

Oilers fans when their highest paid GM sits on his all and drinks all day - nothing

Oilers fans when some Finnish kid plays and does his best for the team - GET HIM OUT OF HERE

If he makes the team worse, he can take a hike

 

[Ibanez]

Nice shootout "attempt" Drai

That was just awful. Unless you’re Chris pronger not a good idea to try that lol

Pathetic after the first. Just pathetic. Make a move Holland

he won’t

 

[Weitz]

Why is Yamamoto still on this team? He’s terrible.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

80 points..

And?

 

[Mr Positive]

I don't get the shootout choices. That slow down before the shot doesn't work. I know McDavid scored on it before but it requires a perfect shot.

Also I know Kane has been cold but he should be shooting before Ryan and Yamamoto

Kaapo Kakko?

 

[FanOfSadTeam]

Losers.

Up 4-1. Zero excuse to lose a game being up like that.

And most of us called it. Just classic Oilers.

 

[Tom Brady]

Ken Holland is going to end up worse than Chiarelli, f*** that useless mother****cker.

 

[AnInjuredJasonZucker]

Drai needs to go

No one is expendable and his head is the size of a football

This is an incomprehensively bad idea.

 

[VainGretzky]

Yea why were 0-3 going 1st

 

[La Bamba]

Desharnais is the best d-man on the team. Prove me wrong.

Desharnais is the best D man in the organization

Contracts and the politics around that make it so he can't play more

 

[nexttothemoon]

Start strong... finish poorly.

At least it's different from the start of the year.


A point is a point.

On to the next one... hopefully with Karlsson +Meier and without several 1st round draft picks.

 

[McAsuno]

Why is Yamamoto still on this team? He’s terrible.

Ceci has been dumb as bricks this year.

Yet some around here think he's a top 4 defenseman. Guy never has been and never will be aside from a fluke year last year when he played with Keith. Perhaps Keith was actually much better than posters here give him credit for because Ceci actually looked competent when paired with him.


Like I've said many times, 2 of Ceci/Barrie/Bouchard have to go this offseason at minimum in order to have a competent right side.
