GDT: Looks Like My Luck Is Needed Oilers @ Kraken

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Seattle scored 6X in one period. One goal was called back on an offside. just ftr.

Games like this, its why I have no faith whatsoever in the majority of players on this club. What an embarassment.

In their defense, didn’t they get in at something like four in the morning to Seattle? Pretty much a scheduled loss I think. I’ve only watched about 10 minutes of the game tonight but from what I’ve seen and heard it certainly sounds like they are just mailing it in.

 

[MessierThanThou]

Put Rodrigue in net. He’s never seen a minute of NHL action. And if he stops everything start him in the next one.

 

[Drivesaitl]

In Walman's defense, he should have had an easy outlet to Klingberg, but for some reason Klingberg was cheating up ice while multiple forecheckers swarmed his partner.

But yeah, not great.

Sure. But his options there are still hold puck, eat puck, or air it out somewhere. he started his adventure by bobbling puck around before firing an assist into the slot. He's a high adventure D. People like his good plays but theres some doozie braincramps too. People note it everytime Booch does it so equal opportunity.

In anycase imagine 80% of your lineup being this. Its an indictment on the entire management here.

heres your Edmonton Connor Browns.

 

[foshizzle]

They are 2 points behind us cause the players we gifted them have been on heaters.

Oh yeah. Their fans have said without Broberg and Holloway they would be a lottery team. What a massive f***up. Broberg wanted 1.8M and Holloway 1.5 and these f***ing guys had to cheap out to save a could of hundred grand

 

[CycloneSweep]

The Stars did the Oilers a favor tonight.

48 shots on goal by the Flames but DeSmith held them off.

Wyatt Johnston with just a beautiful goal--it was probably the difference. Who did we draft when we bypassed him?

Some guy we traded for an injured player.

 

[LTIR]

Good thing Bowman didnt upgrade goaltending

Or defense or forwards

Yeah why not. You have to get your feet wet at some point, can't be babied forever if you want to play in this league.

 

[harpoon]

Gene is such a f***ing clown. Just makes watching a loss like this even worse.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Stuart Skinner?

I have no idea lol.

Its not that much of an excuse. Thats Seattle time and its a late start game. Team had d-4 days off just recently.

 

[MessierThanThou]

Pickard sucks stop acting like people want Pickard as the starter or that he doesnt get shredded when he puts up skinneresque games.

These clowns think we all thought the answer was Pickard, as if half of us weren’t begging for a new goalie since October.

 

[MoontoScott]

He had no chance on all but the 5 th one. And even on that, Emberson couldn’t clear the zone and then watched his man score.

Yes, I don't think he's the answer in goal but he has been completely abandoned by the team tonight.

Kraken hanging around the slot completely unmolested. All kinds of defensive mistakes.

No one except J. Skinner has been any kind of offensive threat.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Or defense or forwards

When you have the opportunity to get double retention on a 3rd liner that probably wont play a regular season game for you, you have to take it.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Oh yeah. Their fans have said without Broberg and Holloway they would be a lottery team. What a massive f***up. Broberg wanted 1.8M and Holloway 1.5 and these f***ing guys had to cheap out to save a could of hundred grand

Meanwhile we spent the savings on Klingberg and Kapanen. Lmao.

 

[BudBundy]

Veteran team with a veteran group of forwards and a veteran group of defensemen, and the Kraken get gifted great look after great look after great look. Goalies suck? Best forwards out? Then lock it down. That’s what a good team would do. Compare and contrast that to whatever the hell is happening right now.

 

[CycloneSweep]

These clowns think we all thought the answer was Pickard, as if half of us weren’t begging for a new goalie since October.

People only wanted Pickard instead of Skinner cause the boys in front tend to play a little better in front of him.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Meanwhile we spent the savings on Klingberg and Kapanen. Lmao.

We got Kapanen off of waivers from St Louis too..

 

[Vagabond]

We're still making the playoffs right!? Lol

Not to sound like a pessimist.. buuut, I feel this team isn't making it past the 1st round.

Knob sucks at line combos/accountability.

Picks and Skins suck.

Our management.. is Gross.

 

[McTedi]

I don’t predict much physicality from them for a while. They will be easing themselves into it.

That’s Kane and Frederic’s game. Kane will take longer to find game shape and legs. You’re not off base with that comment.

 

[MoontoScott]

Meanwhile we spent the savings on Klingberg and Kapanen. Lmao.

Kapanen has really struggled the last 15 games.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Or the coach. Kept the goalie in, no time outs. Not attempt at…coaching?

I suppose. Really tonight without Ek, Drai, McD I dunno anything was salvaging this. Seattle completely took game over in 2nd and dominated with pace and outskating the Oilers. Really drilling them into the ice. Looked like a PP on several sequences.

 

[MessierThanThou]

Oh yeah. Their fans have said without Broberg and Holloway they would be a lottery team. What a massive f***up. Broberg wanted 1.8M and Holloway 1.5 and these f***ing guys had to cheap out to save a could of hundred grand

All so they could give Josh Brown a million, Klingberg 1.75 and spend another million on Kapanen. Still love the morons who called Klingberg “free.”

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Meanwhile we spent the savings on Klingberg and Kapanen. Lmao.

outside of Walman....everything JJ and Bowman have touched has turned to shit

I fully expect Fredric to never play a game this year for the Oilers

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

We got Kapanen off of waivers from St Louis too..

That’s two favours we did them. Maybe Bowman is a Blues psyop.

 

[MoontoScott]

Sure. But his options there are still hold puck, eat puck, or air it out somewhere. he started his adventure by bobbling puck around before firing an assist into the slot. He's a high adventure D.

heres your Edmonton Connor Browns.

He looked speedy tonight.
