Barrie is a complete liability…
Sit him next game
Just pathetic

 

[Cloned]

Karlsson would’ve scored that

 

[CycloneSweep]

I was told yesterday our defence was more than good enough to win the cup and no moves were needed to be made and I was called a negative troll for thinking otherwise.

 

[snag]

Still have to go from one city to next, one hotel to next, check in, get settled, not sleeping in own beds. Hey try it sometime. Try playing NHL opponents two days in a row on the road while getting very limited rest. Its pretty dumb scheduling.

Hell... I went on a weeklong ski trip. Nothing like a hockey game and I was bagged.

There was a reason a had as many packs of gummies and spent as much time soaking as I did lol

 

[belair]

Allen having himself a game.

 

[Faelko]

I'm guessing that's after yesterday? So yeah, going into this weekend, being under 0.500 in matinee games is pretty embarrassing for a team that's supposted to be a contender.

Believe they said 3-0 on the road and 0-3 at home…well, 3-1 on the road now.

 

[Sanchez]

Allen will give up 6 goals next game but shows up as Patrick Roy today.

 

[Ibanez]

3 games in 4 days too. Def has an effect. Was hoping since it’s Mtl we would still be able to pull out a win. Admittedly I didn’t think we were going to win this game if I’m being honest. Especially after yesterday took a lot of effort. Highly emotional game their too.

he's been slumping too

 

[Tobias Kahun]

So the guy who flew in from Cecis side and cut across the ice was Nurses man?

Maybe if he played for 17 years he would understand that.

 

[KarmaPolice]

Goaltending is voodoo. You feel it sometimes, other times you don’t - this is one he didn’t. Skinner will bounce back…

The defence though…

Yeah, Allen is feeilng it, Skinner isn't. It happens.

 

[Kerberos]

Bouchard is garbage. Terrible hockey IQ and slow as f***. Can't believe anybody thinks this player is anything more than a #4 or #5 guy going forward.

 

[soothsayer]

I think I'll bow out and use this time to learn about football so I can pretend to give a shit about the game tonight.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Oh well. Maybe next time this team will actually give a shit when we’re in striking distance of first in the pacific.

Hard to argue with the insane record over our last 10 games, but the piss poor efforts on these “winnable” games is something this team still hasn’t seem to have gotten over.

I understand you can’t give 100% in 100% of the games for a full 60, but some days it seems like giving 50% for half a period is too much to ask effort wise.

honest question. Why would the Oilers want first place? Its best that this club do not finish first. Its best when this club are NOT favorites in playoffs.

 

[3IR]

Goaltending is voodoo. You feel it sometimes, other times you don’t - this is one he didn’t. Skinner will bounce back…

The defence though…

I agree, goaltending is so hot and cold, but a good D group can really help bring up the floor of those lows. We simply don’t have a d core capable of that with any consistency right now, which is going to be especially painful on nights where our rookie goaltender isn’t feeling it, as he’s obviously going to have some pretty extreme highs and lows this early in his career.

 

[Ibanez]

Allen will give up 6 goals next game but shows up as Patrick Roy today.

I do honestly believe some teams and goalie see the Oilers on the schedule and amp their game up. McDavid effect etc. “I’m going to have a good game today”. I honestly believe it’s real

 

[Harry Curry]

That's fine. You're entitled to your stupid opinions and I am entitled to my stupid opinions.
Good day to you sir.

What does that have to do with your 16 years of playing hockey?

 

[GrumpyKoala]

The team does play worse in front of Skinner. We lost like 2 or 3 games recently with Skinner only allowing 2 goals. This team ls offence drys up with Skinner.

Out of the list you went for the first entry, congratulation

 

[Heavy Dee]

Draisatl deserves all the hate today.

 

[KarmaPolice]

Believe they said 3-0 on the road and 0-3 at home…well, 3-1 on the road now.

They've been great on the road this season. If the team can get better at home we have a real shot at winning the division.

 

[Moregoalspls]

It's definately real. Who doesn't want to shutdown the best player in the game

 

[Ibanez]

honest question. Why would the Oilers want first place? Its best that this club do not finish first. Its best when this club are NOT favorites in playoffs.

I’m fine if they don’t. Happy if they do. Happy if they are second as well. I agree that there is a lot of pressure in a first place team

 

[McDrai]

I was told yesterday our defence was more than good enough to win the cup and no moves were needed to be made and I was called a negative troll for thinking otherwise.

Should we even go all-in at this point? This team isn’t even close to contending status

 

[snag]

Still crazy despite having the 80s teams we did... Columbus still shames us in record win streaks rofl

 

[TGOSnipes99]

McDavid and Drai a sparkling -2 today. Keep playing them together Woody, you buffoon.
