Post-Game Talk: Oilers dig a self-inflicted grave

[JeffSkinner53]

Fire Schwartz !

Man you should’ve heard the little chuckle Shorthouse just had announcing the final score of our game…only for Calgary to score immediately after.

Suck on that shortstuff

That whole market is petty as f***. Like moreso than usual fandom shit. Has to be the lack of cups.

Lickspittle Stauffer calling out Skinner, amazing.

He's got his orders from above. Can't criticize the hand that feeds.

 

[RandomGuy79]

Woof!

I think one important difference between this season and last season is that we know that Picard can play.

I honestly don't know if there is a lot of difference between Picard and Skinner.

Obviously you can't ride Picard for 50 games but when Skinner goes cold (as he invariably does) then don't hesitate to use Picard. One thing I like about his game versus Skinner is that he seems more relaxed and doesn't seem to fight the puck.

Well neither goalie is going to win us games with us scoring 0 goals. All this talk about how awful Stu was while ignoring we had 0 goals.

Oilers reading their press clippings yet again. They will never learn, will they?

I honestly wish the media would say we will be shit.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

I’m not sure I’ve ever been that humiliated by something I haven’t even taken part in.

Yikes. Nothing to learn. Dumpster the whole game.

Saturday will show if this team has learned anything.

Miss opening night last year?

It's always amazing watching Hellebuyck vs Skinner. Helle big and in position all night, so even if he couldn't see it it would hit him anyways. Meanwhile Skinner was losing his net as soon as the puck moved laterally all game.

 

[Shizuka]

I'd put in Lavoie with Draisaitl (banish Skinner to PB), drop Emberson to 3rd pairing with Kulak, sit Dermott, and put in Stecher at this point. And start Pickard. Can't believe I'm saying it but the f***ing Shames showed more heart today.

Making the finals = auto cup win. 12/15 hockey experts agree.

f***ing woof.

Nothing impressive at all. Passing into nothing, muffin shots with no prayer... Easy game for him.

Skinner was 4-0-1 before tonight vs the Jets. Just sayin’

Seriously though, how did we end up with 30 shots? I only counted a handful of actual shots.

 

[bellagiobob]

Zero reason to play McDavid 21 minutes tonight. Way too many shifts with the game over. These are the little things that add up and end up screwing us down the road.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Emberson, the man saddled to babysit Nurse in the 2nd pair...was a -2
no wonder Knob out him down to the bottom pair...he's a #6

 

[JeffSkinner53]

Can't decide if that game or Joker foil a deuce or whatever the heck it's called was worse

 

[OilfaninTO]

So who was McDavid’s old midget coach? Looks like we’re gonna need that new coach bump. Obviously facetious bit still, we looked awful.

Did he even break a sweat tonight?

 

[Keggatron]

Say what you want but we outplayed the shit out of them. Were all over them in the first then two shitty breaks/bad goals, then a terrible shift followed by another quick goal then a bullshit weak PP to a team up 4-0 that not even in bizarro world would we ever get that call. Skinner blows ass. Decent goals but make a f***ing save. Goal two shouldn't have gone either neither should have goal 5.

I don't understand how we just make goalies look absolutely otherworldly with the amount of offensive talent we have on this team. It happens so uncannily much, it's so puzzling. Not to mention the league does us not a single favor. If we go up 5-0 refs gift the other team five straight penalties. Happens to us and we have a deficit of 3-1. Frustrating beyond belief.

He had a tougher night than Skinner did by a mile. Problem is Hellebuyck knows where his posts are.

Man, an inexperienced defenseman forced to play top 4 tough minutes on a team with a ton of pressure to win the Stanley Cup... Who could've seen those struggles coming?

 

[FlameChampion]

Lickspittle Stauffer calling out J. Skinner, amazing.

If J Skinner was better tonight we wouldn’t of got steamrolled by Vancouver last year in game 1 either.

But yeah let’s pick on one winger in a 6-0 game.

 

[oobga]

We play well against Helle a lot too. Except one infamous playoff round. Think he only had 2 wins on us in years.

This was just a stinker of a game by most guys.

We better snap out of this early season slacking quick.
