Post-Game Talk: Holland dithers, Oilers lose

[NashtoNowitzki]

I have zero faith in Holland successfully making a trade that actually moves the needle and gives this team a chance to win the cup. As-constructed they have no chance.

 

[LTIR]

Not sure what option to pick...

Nurse or Woodcroft for not benching Nurse

 

[TGOSnipes99]

Thank God we sent a good pk guy in Big D down for bust jp who injures himself shooting pucks and midget yammo lol

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Calgary loser points SUCKS. Pick it the f*** up.

 

[Heavy Dee]

Keep giving away points. f*** off Holland

 

[OfCorsiDid]

seriously why no kane in 3 on 3 or shootout?

Choosing Yamamoto over Hyman is a decision that boggles the mind.

 

[syz]

I missed the 1st but I saw nothing positive out of Drai. He was either trying to put passes through 3 guys or taking lazy shots into shin pads.

The McLeod line and the rotating 4th line were the only ones I saw have good shifts in the 2 periods I watched.

The 2nd line right now is 2 guys who have been sitting out of practices lately and 1 guy who just came back from another injury. Seems like a bad mix. Doesn't help that everybody is taking turns missing games to "illness" so the annual December flu probably waited until February to show up.

Why didn’t Kane shoot in OT?

Kane isn't any good in SO. Career he's only 3/25 and failed just the last game as well. By no means is he on at all. He really was awkward with the puck all night. I think he came back too early, and the fight he had sure didn't help. Kane having all kinds of trouble handling puck, which is to be expected.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Some trades need to happen immediately.

If that was the last game Pulju plays as an Oiler, then good riddance.

He was miles better than the midget and janmark.

 

[Soundwave]

Get this f***ing guy back on the team already.

I get paid $5 million to sabotage my own team.

 

[Oildrum]

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

Imagine being a forward and watching a D man get to shoot before you.

 

[Ibanez]

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.

As much as I hated Sending vd down. At least pooly actually played hard tonight. Im hard on him but he played quite well.

Still just a baffling day.

Kostin being sick really sucked. Hopefully that’s mostly worked it’s way through the team by now

 

[MessierII]

I said after McLeod hit that post those two misses he had would haunt us. He had shester beat twice and didn’t bury. You go 4/5 games getting one chance like that. Two in one game you need to score at least one.

 

[KCC]

Well-deserved loss. Make a f***ing trade

All the cup winners in the last bunch of years all won because they had a great defenseman on their team. Letang, Keith, Makar etc I can go on and on. EDM needs Karlsson. in the worst way because they aren't winning with this defense. lol

 

[5 14 6 1]

Draisaitl is absolutely brutal

 

[Leonardlizard]

Whoever collects the most pucks at practice for the bag gets in after nuge mcdavid Drai.

 

[BlackDogg]

 

[McAsuno]

I get paid $5 million to sabotage my own team.

Watch the useless old f*** wake up in the morning seeing Dubas making a trade even though the leafs are in a cap crunch and still do nothing because dollar in dollar out waaah

 

[Heavy Dee]

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

Kane is zero for nine in the shootout. And he had a shit game

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

I said they needed to score before the end of the second. Too often they go into the third up two, give up an early goal then just scramble for the remainder of the game.

 

[KingKhron]

Can’t ever be happy with this friggin’ team. Just thought about how they were going to blow it during the first intermission and they did it exactly as feared. 7 losses in a row in extra time is pathetic.

 

[Frank the Tank]

This time of the season is all about collecting points. Definitely need to work on their OT strategy because Draisaitl can't keep up with McDavid beyond the first 30-45 seconds.

 

[bellagiobob]

seriously why no kane in 3 on 3 or shootout?

The way he’s played since his fight, then missing some practice days, makes me think all is not well with his wrist, or some other body part.

 

[gordonhught]

What I said?

Scratching VD and Holloway so you can play Yamo and JP is stupid. Forget EK. Oilers not ready to contend.

 

[ZJuice]

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

My uncle played Junior C and is now a mortgage broker. I can confirm he put it all out when he was on the ice
