GDT: oilers night 2025 - maybe playing another supposedly good slumping team will make our supposedly good slumping team acquire a winning streak

[Joe McGrath]

Did Kulak touch that puck? Because if he did that hit is fair game. Otherwise, not so much.

 

[chaz4hockey]

It is a very concerning habit that we never seem to start on time and ready to play. Sigh. So frustrating

Just not good enough.

Rantanen doesn’t look like someone who should be asking for 12,13,14 million a year I’m sorry

Call was goalie interference if I heard correctly

 

[cptjeff]

Guys, I think we mistimed the goalie pull.

 

[Rick Davis]

Pickard has played a sensational game…

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

Bummer Aho couldn’t finish there. And I gotta say deliberate or not that play every single time should be a f***ing penalty. We would’ve had a second chance there if not for them knocking their own net off. Bullshit

 

[HisIceness]

36 shots. 1 f***ing goal. 1.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Aho needed to bury that breakaway

 

[Tryamw]

3-1

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

Koko played a great game at least. Oh well, win tomorrow

 

[User13452]

Who’s surprised aho didn’t score on a breakaway do we ever score on those?

Have you seen where VC fans refer to Petey as 11.6 instead using of his name?

Experience canes hockey baby make a guy with a 897 save percentage look like a vezina candidate

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

Aho needed to bury that breakaway

Idk why he isn’t more creative on breakaways. Early in his career it was always five hole then once that was figured out he switched to that move we just saw which he’s been doing for a while not and it never works.

 

[Rad ChaLose]

I kinda hate this team, so frustrating.

So many what ifs the past couple months with their inability to start on time.

49 points in 73 games since putting pen to paper

 

[User13452]

Don’t look now but Columbus is only 4 points behind us

 

[HisIceness]

That's probably game. They'll be lucky to score one tonight. More points pissed away.

I hate this motherf***er was right. I really do.

Again though, 36 f***ing shots on Calvin Pickard. 1 f***ing goal. 1! This is so f***ing infuriating. This style of play if they don't score fast and often, quite frankly f***ing sucks and is f***ing boring and predictable. But nothing changes. It gets chalked up to "had the chances couldn't convert" or "tip your cap to the opposing goalie". I for one am getting tired of tipping my cap to the opposing goalie especially when that goalie will probably give up 3 or 4 in his next start.

There is so much potential for this team to be dominant and fun to watch, but they play a style that quite frankly makes things more difficult than they need to be. f***ing shit sucks, and I'm tired of the higher-ups ignoring it.

 

[spockBokk]

I think he and Nikishin are going to be the 2nd pair next year.

Could see that, could also see Walker bumping up with Slavin

 

[HisIceness]

I fully expect they'll make it. I just hope Jersey/Detroit/Boston/NYR etc lose in regulation just as much as we do.

 

[Wolfpuck]

We’re shitting our pants trying to impress the hot girl in school instead of letting Mikko learn to love us for who we are.

 

[3CanesInTheBox]

watched on delay.

bad: burnzzzzzzzz, #FreeJarvis
good: SARs lline findng chemistry (but should be on the ice more); Zilla

I care less about wins in this stretch than how we're playing. Once again we get our teeth kicked in to begin and the PP sucks for the majority of the game.

But ehhh, the loss whatever.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

It's really baffling to have this kind of talent be so ineffective at putting the puck in the net. We have 6 players that have put up 30+ goals in a season. Yet this year, they're all just "off." They're in the right places to score, but the puck isn't falling for them. I'm not sure what can be done about that.

I agree. I do feel we are obviously a few offensive pieces away, but how much of it do you think are the line combos?

Curious to hear your thoughts on what you'd do with the lines.
