Post-Game Talk: Miserable Matinee

[Cloned]

So this is what a Flames fan gets to watch every game: decent goaltending with no offense.

Be glad we’re not them.

Asking the fans their favourite part of the game

 

[Ibanez]

Didn’t watch a second of the game. I had a fantastic afternoon

 

[The Hound]

Yawn

 

[Valhallis]

I should have dethatched my lawn instead of watching this...

 

[CrazyJoeDavola]

Shut everyone down that's hurt. We have no chance at getting 2nd. LA schedule too easy and we needed both of these head to heads. Prepare for playoffs, rest up everyone that is banged up. Ggs.

Wasn't the worst game considering the circumstances, but I wanted more from the guys that played. Generated almost nothing all game and it was due to our lack of poise and finesse; not LA's incredible play.

We will be fine with our full lineup. I actually like the clarity this result has given us. Focus entirely on getting healthy for playoffs

If you miss most of your core, games like this one happen. On to the next one..

 

[nexttothemoon]

Well that sucked.

Completely expected... but still not an entertaining game at all.

Basically just hoping for no more injuries at this stage... and for all the key players to heal up to 100% (or as close as possible).

It's all about the playoffs now.

 

[bellagiobob]

Pretty much went as expected, with 4 of our best players eating popcorn. The usual awful Cali reffing. Oh well, still think it’s likely we end up with Vegas as our first round opponent. They want nothing to do with the Blues.

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Would have liked to have seen even one goal.

 

[BertMcDrai]

It wasn't as bad as I had expected...on to the next one.

 

[Old Boys Club]

start the playoffs already

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Well that sure sucked, they should not do that, it's just the kings

 

[Bryanbryoil]

That was fugly. Decided to do some work stuff at home while the game was on. At least it wasn't a complete waste of my 2+ hours.

I truly despise the Kings' arena. It is too dark, and looks gross overall.

 

[Garbo Man]

The Kings barely beat a team that's missing McDavid, Draisaitl, Ekholm and Kane and a player that JUST came back from being injured and most likely wasn't 100%. If the Oilers are at full strength come game 1 (and we play the Kings again) I think it's gonna be a massacre

 

[Bryanbryoil]

At least Frederic got a game in although he had no impact on the game.

I mean it could've been 4-0, they didn't dominate the play per se, but they definitely didn't barely beat us.

To be fair, no one really did

I didn't read too much into todays game and I think the Oilers will still beat them in the playoffs.

Take away the Oiler's best 3 players--Mc-Drai and the Viking--and there isn't a whole lot there. A few better than average players (not superstars) but mostly journeymen, borderline AHL'ers and guys who are getting close to the end of the road. Some posters might say that statement is "anti-Oilers" but it isn't--I think its an objective viewpoint of a die hard, lifetime Oilers fan.

Rest up for the playoffs and make sure your best players are ready to go. Hope that Mc-Drai can go lights out for 2 months because that's just the reality and despite its limitations its a whole lot better than being a Flames fan.

Say, did you guys notice all the King's Fans who were dressed up as empty seats?

I'm gonna have kfc for supper

Say goodbye to my evening. I'll be in the poop house

 

[GhostfaceWu]

Games like this expose just how much hyman and nuge leetch points off mcdrai. Both contracts looked like steals two years ago and now they look like they don't deserve the 5 million a year they get. We're so quick to write off Kane after last season but at least he provides physical and pest play when he isn't scoring.

 

[NeverForget06]

This team has shown me that it can still do it - question will be whether Skinner can, and how healthy McEkDrai will be - and whether Kane can still play hockey, which I think is a serious question.
