Post-Game Talk: Losing sucks but we’re still tied 1-1

[Captain Fantastic]

I love my coach!! Finally, what an answer!!!!!!

I did too although I barely understood what he was saying. lol

What was a weak goal? I didn't like the first one as I'm a Skinner fan and expect him to save that. But it was from an experienced playoff goalscorer with a defender between them and a decent shot. I'd say weak is debatable but I'll agree - weak. Then Brown scores quite a weak one right after. Game on.

From there you really think Ott outgoalied Skinner? Not a chance

Skinner made several quality stops in the game. had a harder night than Ott. Ott, his toughest saves were ones he either created rebound or was out of position for. Skinner was really focused and on. Dallas sure had some quality looks in 2nd and 3rd.

Skinner coming out well in this series and using his paddle to deflect some passes across. He reads my posts now?

Oilers been the better team Dallas looks worse then Vancouver . They are lucky to be tied. Skinner had to stop that first goal

Dallas has much better D than Vancouver and much better G. We had long stretches we played solid hockey but it won't be as easy to score on Oettinger. Our D and particularly Skinner elevated their game, and that's the reason we are 1-1 now. Strong performance from Skinner/Pickard is absolutely critical in the remaining games. Unless Oettinger has bad games, we won't be able to outscore our D and G mistakes against Dallas. I won't be surprised if the remaining games are low scoring defensive battles.

Which the refs immediately gave away.... by calling ANOTHER weak penalty against the Oilers.

...and giveing a PP when down 3-1 is just a token call just to show they are "unbiased".. which they clearly are NOT by how these 1st 2 games have been called.

Ok
But
my point is that it was a hell of a good game and probably pretty evenly called
And we need to respond to how that third period went

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Ryan out for Henrique, do you consider Perry instead of someone like Foegs?

Pull McLeod. Send a message to that muffin.

 

[UHHHH SON]

Haha

[TopShelfGloveSide]

When Brown is more impactful…

Kulak being ass after his giveaway last game isn’t great.

 

[Drivesaitl]

RNH had a really weak game as well... 1 missed shot attempt was all he generated.

Sure, but Nuge was Huge getting us by Vancouver. Last few Van series games he was probably our best forward.

Do you know how to use whichever device you're using to create this terrible post?

All this talk about Dallas being a road powerhouse. keep in mind, they had one more road 1 win than the Jets, and 2 more than the Maple Leafs.

I think the conversation coming from the talking heads on the TV would make it seem like they ran roughshod over the league.

Absolutely 100% correct.
That fcuking call with 1.5 mins left was for stat padding only to show a closer balance. It's fraudulent and possibly borderline illegal.

Your posts are as useful as you hitting enter after every word. Drink some more beer, buddy.

I think you have to run with McLeod because of his speed but if he fails to register a point he shouldn't be an Oiler moving forward.

With his speed he needs to take the puck to the front of the net. And do it with reckless abandon.

yah good for him. Offence let him down.

 

[Sheikyerbouti]

Dallas had their backs against the wall and still didn't look that dangerous.

Sucks to lose but this is looking like a good matchup for us imo. Dallas definitely needs to score more than 2 goals a game to win this series and their kids seem to be learning the same lesson ours did against Colorado

OK. You're wrong and pretending you're smart. Learn how to use literally any device that can post on here. Or go drink more beer.

Similar to how we got shut down in Game 5. Have to believe that that won’t sit pretty for win at all costs McDrai. They will respond at home and it will be glorious.

 

[McJadeddog]

I liked a lot about how they played tonight. Felt like such a winnable game because of it. Just not capitalizing on any chances and then falling behind sucks.

Stu was fantastic and that's good to see again.

Not really upset. Just kinda stinks they couldn't keep up that first period energy while banging in a few, I guess.

On to game three.

Yeah, I just can't bring myself to be pissed about this game. Was super close all game, and although I personally think Dallas was maybe the SLIGHTLY better team, moneypuck had Edmonton at 53% on their "deserve to win o meter", so maybe it was the Oilers who had slight advantage. It was super close either way, and we lost the game off a crazy fluky bounce goal in the third. These things happen, onto game 3.

You are digging quite a hole Mr Sniveller

Grow some class and discuss the game

However
I suspect that may be too much to ask of you

 

[chris kontos]

Playing two teams this series, as per usual. Not being able to finish our chances in the 1st period ended up costing us.

Have to reset and get back to basics in Edmonton. Pucks on net. Dallas is a very beatable team and we've been the better team so far in this series.

We're going to take games 3 and 4.

I got somethin you can get back on

 

[RegDunlop]

THIS is a very intelligent, diplomatic, and outstanding coach.
