Post-Game Talk: Oilers lose Duck Hunt

[MessierThanThou]

Too many blanks shot.

This team is dreadful to watch without McDrai.

Also stop benching Skinner FFS.

This coach is a problem.

 

[Dradavich]

Jesus...

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Knob has lost the plot. Hire Torterella

f*** off with firing the goddamn coach yet again. You expect the bozos up top to hire someone good?

 

[KlefDown]

I’ll say again, Bouchard would be leading their team in points by far, Hyman would be leading their team in goals by far and Do-Nothing-Hopkins would be in the race for lead scorer.

end the excuses bro, admit we are shit

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Every damn player has been underachieving offensively this year. Knob may want to reflect a bit this offseason, it will likely be a much longer one to do so

And hopefully with a different team.

Some coaches fire their players up to start games on time.

This coach puts them to sleep.

 

[Stoneman89]

Gudas laughed at us all game and I’m sure is snickering at how gutless we are.

 

[CupofOil]

Can’t believe you stayed up till 1:21 AM local time to watch this.

It's a sickness Cloned, only curable by death

 

[bellagiobob]

I'll start with the obvious, F this disgusting corrupt league and the idiots that run it. Boys played hard, but just don't have the skill. Last two games have been a frightening look into what the upcoming years without McDrai will likely look like. Ducks are a nothing franchise, propped up by a good goalie and a bunch of B/C level stars. I think the Sharks will be leaps and bounds better than them. We are in dire need of our missing key guys, like McDrai, Ekholm, Kane and Bouchard.

"Everything is bad but don't change anything!" Good call once again. Take your own advice.

Just about every support player underachieves here in the last 15 years under many different coaches. Just something about the culture here saps the energy from players.
Not saying that Knob hasn't been a knob but it's a much bigger issue than coaching, always has been.

 

[McTedi]

Bouch walked clean a couple of times, not good. Bouch sifting some dangerous shots on net, very good.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

team can't finish WITH McDrai this year, probably shouldn't expect them to finish without them....could've closed the gap on LA, too bad

obviously not having McDrai in the lineup, they're a different team but holy they get exposed without them there...Nuge and Hyman are passengers...Arvidsson quiet
Henrique and Skinner were good

 

[Oilhawks]

I guess. But Woody (who wasn’t a great coach) actually got some offense out of his players

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Who said anything about not changing anything?

Management f***ed the roster something fierce. Start with Katz and his cronies and go from there.

 

[Cloned]

That may yet happen if you keep staying up till 1 AM to watch this shit.

 

[MoontoScott]

Hard to argue with 47 shots on goal but you have to bury them?

Credit to Arvi who came to play.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

Well at least we can probably put Rodrigue speculation on hold. Unfortunately not part of the solution tonight.

Lack of fight back is concerning though. The we’ll beat them on the scoreboard mentality only works when you actually do.

Fair to question what in the f*** our depth forwards are even doing though. Like run around a bit and get some payback.

Max Jones can f*** off. This was the game to establish yourself.

 

[McDoused]

Garbage effort. Pond hockey defense. Perimeter offense. For Christ sakes put in an effort against a bottom feeder and try and get a rookie goalie a win. I don’t give a damn who isn’t on the ice. The guys who were didn’t care enough.

It’ll be a huge blessing if Podz somehow came out of that knee bend.

Yeah garbage team or whatever. Oilers B squad played a good game.

Im pretty sure without McDrai taking up 30% of the cap, they'll have other players getting paid though.

 

[McDrai]

Bouch walked clean a couple of times, not good. Bouch sifting some dangerous shots on net, very good.

I honestly think Bouchard should be converted to a forward who can be used at the point on the power play. He’s a disaster defensively but great offensive instincts.

Or be realistic and look to change coaches or management. I mean you could always dream big in one hand and shit in the other, lmk which one fills up first.

Is whatI up by a good goalie and a bunch of B/C level stars. I think the Sharks will be leaps and bounds better than them. We are in dire need of our missing key guys, like McDrai, Ekholm, Kane and Bouchard.

Our talent level on the ice tonight is what it is. I’m more concerned about the complete lack of any kind of a physical pushback to the crap going on.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

You can't keep changing coaches every 2 years and expect to make tangible progress. Knowing these idiots they'll hire Quennville or some other out of touch dinosaur.

 

[bellagiobob]

You may not be familiar with our pro scouts. Without an elite team players, we become another Winnipeg or Buffalo destination again. Just how it is.

 

[Keggatron]

This current roster is like watching a road game during training camp. Pretty bummy squad that can't score. This coach is the worst of them all I think. No idea how you can have Brown playing an offensive role, even with the lack of offense on this team at the moment, and the mishandling of Skinner is ridiculous. Has Jackson not talked to him about this? I mean the way he's been used this season makes Jackson look like a f***ing idiot for signing him and letting other guys walk.

Serenity Now! Serenity Now!
