Post-Game Talk: Not good enough.

[McDrai]

Meh, I feel no emotion. This team just doesn’t have it. They never will. Rip off the bandaid and end this in 6 so that we can all move on with our lives and enjoy the summer.

 

[JeffSkinner53]

Is this it, this is all you can conjure Saruman?

 

[Shanahanigans]

Pivotal game 5 against a divisional rival and they play like it’s December against a bottom feeder. Fully deserved that loss.

 

[KarmaPolice]

Not even close to good enough, from pretty much top to bottom. McDavid has been pretty bad lately. I'm guessing must be an injury. Nucks showed tons of heart and determination tonight. We lacked both.

 

[GMofOilers]

We got outworked tonight, but they will be ready for game 6, home crowd energized Vancouver tonight big time.

This is exactly why you cant have a goalie gift wrap them the first couple games in a series.

 

[Dradavich]

The team finally gets goaltending and they f***ing sell. This franchise is pain.

 

[VainGretzky]

Well that sucks but Espn for the rest of this series for me the Canuck bias by Sportsnet is sickening

 

[LevelingSolo]

Mcd was worse than turd. f*** off with that effort

And same goes for Hyman and Nuge

Tf is wrong with these players? Guess last year wasn’t fresh enough in their minds

Just atrocious tonight

Like with Freddie in Carolina, the stink of Toronto last's a long time

 

[Arty Spooners Bsmnt]

Got the result that they deserved. Totally outplayed.

 

[Canovin]

I knew the Nucks were going to score the moment they put McDavid with Drai.

We are not going to win with our captain floating like Taylor Hall

 

[DrDrai]

This team isn’t the team to win it, a lot of us knew that but still blindly cheer.

It’s time for a reload, dump some contracts and figure out a different plan. You can’t run it back with this group.

They don’t have it mentally, not sure what is wrong between the ears but it’s something. It sure isn’t the coach.

 

[bellagiobob]

Embarrassing effort for any playoff game, let alone a game 5. Completely outplayed by the Canucks, Miller made us his bitch. Our stars were no shows. Will never again get 5 PP’s, and we screwed the pooch. Too bad for Pickard, only guy who showed up.

 

[tardigrade81]

f*** off. Pickard deserved better. Stop playing after the first period.

Win Saturday, no other option

 

[Broberg Speed]

Bouchard had his opportunity and he blew it. He really really blew it.

 

[lopper]

Probably going to sound overdramitic, but I didn’t think this core ever wins it all. Too many mental midgets when the chips are on the table and can’t rely on McDrai to bail you out every game. Hope to see a game 7, but at this point if they have another road game like this what’s the point

 

[PULSATING]

Not gonna win a cup with McDavid playing d like that

 

[OilerMcLord]

The better team won tonight.

Expected goals tonight were 4.28 VAN - 1.75 EDM.

Pickard was the only reason that this game wasn't a laugher for Vancouver.

Unless the Oilers can somehow string together a two game effort, their season is done.

 

[Heavy Dee]

Not even mad. Didn't deserve to win. Ruined a great game by Pickard.

Playing McDrai 30 minutes a night has caught up to them.

 

[oil Leaks]

The team that was not afraid to shake up the roster won.

 

[belair]

Another playoff game where this team beats itself with a poor attention to details.

We need guys who want to win in this lineup. Not guys who are just trying to stay in the lineup.

 

[VainGretzky]

McDavid looks tired horrible game for him

 

[RandomGuy79]

What can you say? We were out worked, out battled and out skilled by a better team.

Canucks were the better team and deserved the win.

This team for whatever reason doesn't want it enough.

 

[foshizzle]

For them to come out with that effort. Hope Connor has a great wedding.

I’m convinced he changed something in the offseason. Hasn’t been the same player all year. What happened to Hyman- he’s disappeared.

 

[ElysiumAB]

Evenly matched game, both teams were sloppy, neither could really win a battle in offensive zone.

Pickard was good. Depth players had their best performance.

Go win two games in a row.

 

[nexttothemoon]

Pickard was solid... not a whole lot of other positives in that game.

Janmark might have been the best Oiler forward tonight... which is a problem.
