Post-Game Talk: Josh Archibald has eliminated the Oilers from playoff contention

[Oilers 322]

Again doesn't matter how many saves you make its when you make the saves unfortunately we have never had a goalie that made that key save at a key time. He should of had the timing goal. No excuses he whiffed on it.

I thought the same at first but Bieksa pointed out that Puljujarvi got a very tiny piece of the puck and that's probably why Smith whiffed on it. You can see the puck start wobbling slightly after it goes by Puljujarvi's stick.

Rooting for Parros here. Give him at least a game so he's not playing tomorrow for the elimination.

Suspend him for life

Dave in the playoffs:

2003: #1 Stars upset by #7 Ducks
2004: #2 Stars upset by #7 Avalanche
2010: #4 Coyotes eliminated by #5 Red Wings
2012: #3 Coyotes eliminated by #8 Kings
2020: #5 Oilers upset by #12 Blackhawks
2021: #2 Oilers embarrassed by #3 Jets

Been saying for a long time he's the guy who sets up a club for the next guy to win the cup and not the guy who wins a club the cup.

He's a very good coach in a lot of ways, but his in-game decision making just leaves a lot to be desired.

Exemplified perfectly by tonight's lack of timeout at 4-3.

No excuse , it was a floater of a shot from 60 ft away. Plenty of time to find the puck and make the save with your glove

It's just Stauffer really. Wilkins and Brown called it for what it is, Brown is one of the best in the business actually.

How often did either say "52 minutes"?

Saw a similar hit last night. Think it was in the Leaf game. No hearing for that hit. Archie fu**ed up. Badly. But he’s not a guy I’m giving up on based on one stupid play.

Fire Tippet, hire Torts. If anyone can do something with the shit D to turn it around, its Torts. He'll kick everyone on the team in the ass and force accountability, put up or get sent down.

Also the bottom 2/3rd of the roster and half the D core should be purged. Call up all AHL players if you can't swing any trades or free agents, just get the losers out of the locker room.

Lastly, figure out a way to convince Koskinen to mutually terminate his contract, leave a severed horse head in his sheet, w/e, just make him and his cap hit go away. Get one of the Panther's 3 goalies to be the new starter with Smith for 1 more year as backup.

Stanley Cup 2023.

Idk man. Torts is a star player killer.

He's also got to be the coach that does the most stupid shit per 60 trying to look like the smartest guy in the room.

 

[CupofOil]

Sorry , Brown will argue till tomorrow to prove his point. He's one of the reasons I stopped listening to the post-game show. More like the worst.

Really? Can't disagree more but everybody is entitled to their own opinion. I find that he's usually on point with his opinions and articulates them very well.

 

[harpoon]

you did shit to contribute, ryan

Fire Tippett and Holland before the night is over
They are responsible for the disgrace
And all of you that don't agree are simply ignorant cretins with willingness to face the truth

And MacDavid and Draisatl are disgusting, both were part of the meltdown , brain dead players at heart

Imagine being this guy. Holy f***.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Yeah - hes a 40 year old goalie and it showed today. He gave them a chance the first two games. They had to capitalize with no Elhers and you have to suspect Smith would lay at least one goose egg in a series like this.

You've said he's 40 ten times. He turned 39 just a month ago, just saying. Are people rounding up. lol.

Good. Maybe tomorrow he can not lose the game with his antics and maybe learn something.

 

[CupofOil]

I mean, they did play a very good game for 52 minutes. That's not untrue.

 

[Hemsky4pm2]

I would let Tippett run out his contract. Don't expect him to be here past that, tired of firing coaches, but we will need a new one in 3 years to try and compete for the Cup. Tippett doesn't have the acuity to coach at this speed. This being said, we could still win some games in this series. Games have been close.

 

[TB12]

Katz got his arena. He's done caring.

Just gonna say that you should ask anyone from the Oilers org that was on the 17-18 team about when he hosted them at his house in LA. He cares.
(doesn’t absolve Katz of the OBC or the other screw ups but he definitely cares).

 

[780il]

Archibald is an elite 4th liner what a beast of a guy for his size

I posted this midway through the 2nd period in the GDT....

f***ing kill me now

 

[The Moose]

Archibald was ok before that monumentally bonheaded play.

 

[Snipes45]

LOL Tipp just said Bear played a real strong game and looked fine on the top line.


Dave...my man...

If this is how he thinks, there is no point cheering this team if he is here next year

 

[Dynamic]

I missed seeing the clipping penalty because I was driving but thought how bad could it be.

After watching it, holy **** what is totally bull**** penalty. What the hell was he thinking!

 

[redgrant]

You've said he's 40 ten times. He turned 39 just a month ago, just saying. Are people rounding up. lol.

Yeah sounds better using the hyperbole to stress how mismatched we are.

 

[Drivesaitl]

The longest drive off a cliff with no guardrail this is.

The sun will rise. I'm reasonably sure of it..

2020: #5 Oilers upset by #12 Blackhawks
2021: #2 Oilers embarrassed by #3 Jets

Don't forget that, as a player, Tippett was part of the '93 Penguins 2nd-round collapse vs. the Islanders, after finishing 1st overall (and winning the two Cups pre-Tippett).

I mean, when the guy's down, it's up to us to kick him some more.

 

[Captain Fantastic]

Really? Can't disagree more but everybody is entitled to their own opinion. I find that he's usually on point with his opinions and articulates them very well.

He does bring up some good points. I won't disagree with that. If he's ever challenged on something though, he becomes an absolute child.

 

[iCanada]

Really? ....... really? Why? Back to back, 3 straight losses, and 3 goals in 3 minutes

Oh man, it's really getting impossibly difficult to defend Tippett, especially after he said post game that Bear had a strong game, which couldn't be further from the truth. Evan Bouchard, it's time.

I'm not ready to give up, we have the 2 best players in the NHL and deserved to win every so far. We're coming back to Edmonton next Sunday for game 7. Let's go boys

To be fair... koskinen's last 3 starts have not been inspiring. And how the f*** do you play Stalock after not even giving him a warmup game at the end of the regular season?

You kind of have to ride Smith.

At least nuge is gone..Will repost
