Post-Game Talk: Oilers lose late to Vegas

[McAsuno]

Would help if the goalies weren't like -938238373 GSAA on the PK too.

Both Hanifin goals had a combined xG value of 0.155. Would've been nice if our podcasts guru bookworm hippie of a goalie made saves.

 

[GMofOilers]

.912 lots of good save's and some still want Pickard who wasn't good last game (.813) ... SMH

Win a game for once, he’s got 3 wins in 9 games

More reasons why Philp being sent down just made no f***ing sense. Big kid young that can skate and was able to hold his own gets sent down. Oilers rewarding in the worst ways per usual. God forbid they play their young talent over the old f***s on this team.

Me and my friends joke but we say things like “careful, don’t play too well, the oilers might send you down after a solid effort like that”

philp looked great. f***ing caggiula was at least hitting people.

Our collective management team is utterly incompetent. We are the New York jets of the nhl. That’s not a good thing….

Yaaaaaay! Death by a 1000 cuts.

They really blow chunks at home this year. Maybe the jokes about the wives being a distraction is real?

Couldn't possibly be.

 

[CrazyJoeDavola]

Serious question. Do we have a shooting coach to teach our guys how to change angles on our shots and not get them blocked every time. Why are we so shy at shooting from any distance? It's like the team knows it's ass at shooting so they just decide to not do it. Every one of our wrist shots are telegraphed and not deceptive in any way. For how skilled we should be, it feels like we're the worst shooting-with-skill team in the league

 

[CycloneSweep]

so you think they're playing with intensity?

No, I think they are just playing not well. Calling it a cup hangover or whatever is an excuse. If Florida who has been in the last 2 finals can play with intensity and the Oilers can’t?

 

[bellagiobob]

Kulak has 3 goals. That's more than majority of our f***ing players right now. Literally embarrassing.
Hey guys, I just saw Kulak put his stick and tape right on ice and got a tipped goal as a reward. Why don't we try that?

Naaaah, let's just keep dumping the puck in and then skate around doing nothing until we get back on the bench.

The Wild's goalie has the same or more goals than 10 of our players. I would laugh at that if I wasn't already crying.

 

[MessierII]

Win a game for once, he’s got 3 wins in 9 games

Because the team doesn’t score goals. Our goals against numbers are unbelievable compared to our goals for numbers.

 

[Reasonable Oil Fan]

Tie game, under a minute left, we lose a 1 on 4 battle for a puck in our own end. Then allow a pass to a player all alone in a dangerous spot in front of our net. Fraudulence!!!
At some point we need to learn to play some sort of defense.

 

[Ibanez]

I may just be dreaming but that loss feels extra “ouch”

I wonder if anything shakes out after that. I assume Katz is already ripping people’s asses

I’m sure I’m just daydreaming though

Looks a lot like John Kay of Steppenwolf.

meh goalies are up and down

being one of the worst offenses in the league after 14 games was something I thought I'd never see

I didn't like Caggiula being called up, but at least I saw him trying to provide energy by hitting people here and there. We have a team that's allergic to hitting.

 

[LevelingSolo]

Utter dog shit, holy f***.

This team had one of the best pks after kk took over and all through the playoffs

Was Ceci underrated or something?

Is Katz even alive anymore?

 

[Soundwave]

Knoblaugh really gonna get himself fired because he can't coax offense from this group huh? lol, Joel Quinnville somewhere smiling.

Things are working great under Quennvilles boss so far.

 

[McHelpus]

Utter dog shit, holy f***.

Not the coaches fault!
They just need to play Derek Ryan more on the PK! He will figure it out!

 

[Throttlehead]

Derek Ryan, bless you sir. But you are done. Time to sail off my friend. No shame.

Team honestly needs to waive him. We have no guts. Hate them as much as we might, Vegas has no problem shuffling players and moving on. It’s actually refreshing

We continue to employ a “but the mystery box could be anything” strategy

Should have moved on from Ryan, Perry, and kept Holloway. Im still baffled we let him walk.

That'd be the cream of the cop. Hire a shit GM who in return hires his old boys club type shit buddy.

We can’t score and we have awful goaltending numbers. It’s both.

Ours are pretty much always down on GSAA.

We were the best team in the league from like Nov. 12 onwards last year and Skinner still didn't crack the top 30 for GSAA. This year he's a hillariously bad 65th place.

Pickard is sitting at 43rd overall.

Our goalies aren't up and down, they just are what they are ... back up goalies.

 

[TheGingaNinja]

Utter dog shit, holy f***.

Holy crap, thats some rough company to keep, lol.

did you watch last year? the Oilers only decide to start playing when things get really bad...it's part of their MO
