Post-Game Talk: Montreal - where the people are beautiful and Oilers hockey is ugly

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

A team with this much supposed firepower shouldn’t be getting shut out. Or this bad offensively.

At least when we would lose it was 7 - 5.

À partir de maintenant, nous ne nous répondrons qu'en français jusqu'à ce que les pétroliers gagnent 5 matchs de suite.

Ma traduction Google fera l'objet d'un entraînement.

Don't see McDavid get that mad, but he was pissed at Hyman for whiffing on that gimme one timer to start lol

Hey McDavid, maybe shoot more yourself? It's like he got amnesia and doesn't remember scoring 60

 

[McHelpus]

Yikes, really starting to look like a repeat of Chia Oilers 2017-18 with management totally getting too cute with adjusting a good team and totally destroyed the chemistry. Good thing we picked up an impressive gm to right the shi— oh wait.

SIGH.

He is nowhere to be seen as well. He is probably embarrassed to show his face on camera.

I’m in charge of engraving so some things might be omitted.

I have one pre-prepared. Just have to fill in the dates.

 

[CupofOil]

Really got screwed by losing Holloway and Broberg.

Classic Oilers. Can't have things go right for too long

McLeod, Holloway and Foegele would all be the Oilers 3rd leading goal scorers.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

Since when is Montemblaut a "plug goalie" jebus the stupid comments. He's a franchise goalie in the making. Spectacular whenever I see him. Give his whole team hope in playing in a defensive structure and just trying to bag a goal.

Would trade several players on this club for Montemblaut. Would drive them to the airport. Please f*** off Connor brown.

I don’t think habs fans would even consider Monty a “franchise” goalie.

He’s a decent starter, probably top 15 or so. A good goalie.

 

[Cloned]

Someone must have given him the go ahead to do so

Katz.

Which means pressure is officially on now.

 

[Oilhawks]

Well at least they should realize who the better goalie is

I was called out for this in the Nashville game but I really don’t think this is a playoff team unfortunately

yeah, they weren’t a playoff team this time last year either. And they were a lot worse at the same time too

c'est plus amusant que de regarder les conneries auxquelles les pétroliers nous soumettent

 

[CanadasTeam99]

At this point I’m ready for decade of darkness 2.0

I hate this management and have zero faith

Ya. Hard to have much faith. It's hard to care when you don't see light at the end of the tunnel. There never seems to be urgency in this org.

It would not shock me at all if 97 decided to go elsewhere.

 

[oilers4life5]

So you guys want to take down the Jeff Jackson statue now? lol.

 

[Drivesaitl]

People talking about wanting 50+ goal Drai and McDavid back…

I’m afraid we wasted those seasons while we were “rebuilding”, even generational talents can’t pull 50 goals out their ass in this league. Those days are gone

Drai is on pace for 50some this season and it doesn't even matter. Nobody else cashing shit. That said I've said it before the McDrai best years are possibly past.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Still haven’t bothered watching a game yet but still like reading up on the forum to catch some perspective.

They have had McLellan, Tippett, Woodcroft and now Knoblauch all preach accountability and not one player is above the other on the roster.

Then it’s the same old shit.

So either the inmates are running the asylum or there is some higher-up meddling telling the head coaches the stars are immune to benchings and being scratched.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

McLeod, Holloway and Foegele would all be the Oilers 3rd leading goal scorers.

True!

But I also I know that if we kept them they’d also be doing nothing.

This is bigger than 3 forwards.

 

[Drivesaitl]

So you guys want to take down the Jeff Jackson statue now? lol.

Never had it up. Clown offseason. Here we are.

 

[Dirk Dangler]

Ty Emberson getting the least 5v5 TOI when he had the best shot metrics and XGF is hilarious. I think a lot about the Philip Broberg interview and his comments about this organization and young players.

Emberson was our best player tonight. Brutal

You are a Uber guy now?

I think it would be wise to call up Philp-Savoie and Cagg as a message here.

There are still 63 games left so still time to make some adjustments.

 

[Soundwave]

McLeod, Holloway and Foegele would all be the Oilers 3rd leading goal scorers.

I doubt they would have those totals here. Offense goes to die on our 2nd line.

 

[Cloned]

Who’s in charge of that?

 

[Senor Catface]

People talking about wanting 50+ goal Drai and McDavid back…

Drai is literally tied for first in the league for goals.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Oilers love to go through their yearly rough patch but this one is getting a bit long.

 

[nexttothemoon]

Caggiula/Philp/Savoie would all be fresh faces that likely add energy/hunger to this lineup... instead they roll with 9 largely lifeless slow/aging/regressing players to play with McDrai and they can't make a single change to that group as they only have 11 forwards. Pressbox isn't even an option,

This team is stuck in the proverbial rut with no way to get out.

Now they get to play Josh f***ing Brown in the lineup to add to the misery... and wait for it... Stuart Skinner likely plays next game.

The future seems dark.

 

[Oilhawks]

This team needs a substantial shakeup. We are tired of the coaches being the scapegoat. The roster needs a change.

Agree, but would also like to see the coach earn his paycheque too. If stacking McDrai because they’re not scoring is acceptable, they can have an inanimate carbon rod coach and get similar results

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Who’s in charge of that?

The month, year and day. Dont get your hopes up.
