GDT: LXIII | "These Lines Suck" | Oilers vs. Sharks | 2.27.18 | 8:30PM | SN-Oil

[Digger12]

Now time for McLellan to bench Pulju for the rest of the game, so he can "leave the game on a high note", a la Eakins/Yakupov.

Father I need to make a confession. Aberg has arrived

tied Davidson in assists on the season in 1 game

 

[Mez]

Auvitu is an absolute train wreck in his own end

Yah, hes been bad tonight.

 

[48g90a138pts]

LOL, the Sharks color guy has the audacity to say that the goal was created by an illegal hit (interference) by Nurse.

Hahaha... it totally was. That's the best part.

 

[oobga]

Always put the fourth line out after a goal. Lose that momentum you get after a goal. Woooooooo.

That's actually a pretty awesome tank move.

Just a bummer that he does it all year no matter what.

 

[Dashh]

What gets me is that all members of the media / local radio praise Todd as a "good coach", one of the "best in the league"

Why are they all afraid to criticize him ? only one that seems to is Nielson on 1260

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

Some of us are loyal to the team.

I mean, all the more power to you but it makes little sense to devote yourself and pledge "loyalty" to an organization that has had as many #1 overall draft picks fall into its lap over the past decade yet is still unable to piece together a competitive roster of players.

I guess I just don't see the benefit or the incentive to suffer through what is the worst run professional organization in sports. I'm masochistic, but not that masochistic.

The Oilers could use Davidson for tonight's game. Thanks for reminding

 

[Del Preston]

Now let's see a ref get hit in the pills with the puck.

Whoever was on today around 5:30 was leaning into Chia and McLellan.

 

[MessierII]

Slepy gotta rifle that puck

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Lucic made the flukiest nice pass to McDavid I don't even think he was expecting that

 

[iCanada]

Lucic is checked right out.

 

[Oil75]

Yah, hes been bad tonight.

not an NHL D-man

David Staples posed some legit tough questions of him back in early December iirc. By and karge, the koala is above reproach.

 

[Frank the Tank]

Reason #273 that McDavid is great. The opposing announcers gloat that their team has held him to only 1 point so far.

 

[Garbo Man]

Lucic made the flukiest nice pass to McDavid I don't even think he was expecting that

McDavid was still stunned that Lucic fired a pass on the tape to him as he slowly skated off the ice. Had a hard time wrapping his head around it i bet.

At least I can say I've probably been calling TMac the idiot he is longer than probably anyone on this board. I saw so much evidence of that last year, and saw us continually winning in spite of dreadful coaching. Talbot being god in net helped a lot, plus the break out years of Klefbom, Leon and of course McDavid's very memorable season, Sekera was mostly a beast, etc. -- all of which helped us win and I think helped smooth over all the idiotic coaching 'tactics' (or lack there of), dumb lines, no line matching (or bad line matching), and all his egregious miscalculation or just stupidity behind the bench. Complete imbecile of a coach. It's no wonder he couldn't take a stacked SJ team anywhere in the playoffs. Shouldn't surprise anyone now, looking back.

Since rod retired the Edmonton media is a bunch of bag lickers. The only one who calls it like he sees it is spec.

Sports are the only reason i have cable, and i live in edmonton. I like watching this tragedy haha

But but but, he was Chia big acquisition ufa signing this summer

 

[48g90a138pts]

They've already let s few interference calls go but that was comical. Two guys interfering and no call. Just garbage.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Sekera needs to sit

 

[booyakasha]

Lol suckera

 

[oobga]

hahaha Lucic.
