GDT: Oilers@Rangers - 11AM - on Rogers Bet Net

[YakDavid]

I get the call but it’s the usual question of consistency

 

[SnipeShowJB11]

The Canucks passing us in the standings is only a matter of time.

Think how sad that is at this stage of McDavid and Drai’s career.

well, the only good thing is that this organization is all reactionary. Just like doofus didn't want to fire Dave Tippet. We are going to hit rock bottom like an addict before we get help

it's the Oilers way

I know you’re upset like pretty much everyone else, but this team made the WCF last season. I doubt anyone here expected that with how things had gone years prior.

People are forgetting how tight the cap situation was going to be, they were expected to lose Kane and potentially others. Frankly, it’s a miracle they retained who they could.

The roster is missing another top 4D and a veteran bottom 6 player or two. The problems with the team are mostly mental and / or current lack of commitment to defensive play. Woody and Manson look over their heads right now too. If even some of these things get addressed, they can be the team they were last season

It wouldn’t take much for this team to get going again.

Maybe it's the defeated Oiler fan in me, but I feel like the run to WCF last year, was a bit of smoke and mirrors... Pacific division was a little weak, even though they won again LA (went 7 games, and had some issues), Calgary series wasn't exactly text book or clean (but man oh man, was it entertaining), and then we got owned by the Avs. I don't think think this team is bad, and yes they have a few injuries, but they don't seem to have what it'll take to be a true contender to win it all. Injuries will always be a possibility, they are for every team. Filling in the hole on D, figuring out our goaltending, getting any depth scoring... these do to seem like easy fixes.

Ref was just waiting to make a call first chance possible

That hand shot up so fast it broke the sound barrier.

 

[Travis093]

was he just praying they dont score?

 

[RattsSSV]

Big kill

 

[Sanchez]

Good kill

 

[walktheboulavard]

Shesterkin looks shaky

 

[Oilhawks]

Bob is mad about the team being too soft for how many penalties get called on them. Maybe it’s the shit officiating??

 

[SnipeShowJB11]

pass pass pass pass pass

 

[Sanchez]

Wait.....huh......a pp? Holy f***!!!

 

[BlackDogg]

Bouchard takes too long to shoot when he has a chance. No shins in the way, so no good shot.

 

[RandomGuy79]

Been a good period for the Oilers, but nothing to show for it so far.

 

[Shaquille Oatmeal]

Frickin do it here boys. For the love of god!!! Get a fricken goal!!!

 

[NedPlimpton]

What is this, some sort of man advantage?

 

[Vagabond]

Oilers finally get to play with thier pp.

 

[Cloned]

I said it before, the Oilers should sit McDrai for the rest of the season and openly and publicly tank for Bedard. Announce it as well. f*** this league.

 

[EnufAlready]

Cant believe Woody doesn't have jp on the PP

 

[Zguy370]

Drai was tackled haha

 

[Sanchez]

Well this is a horrible pp

 

[Moregoalspls]

That's what happens when you put your top pp line on after they just had a hard shift

 

[NedPlimpton]

Yikes.

 

[Mez]

Is this gonna be one of those streak where we dont score for 3 games or something? *reverse junix maybe*

 

[GhostfaceWu]

pp has turned to such shit

 

[RandomGuy79]

What an awful pp
