We've come out like that in every period.

Hard to believe our coach is a motivational speaker.

we've essentially come out weak in 90% of the periods for the entire season so far actually.... a lot of that falls on the coach, krueger needs to have them ready, and they clearly aren't in the vast majority of games

as bas as dubnyk has been tonight, and he's been awful, this loss isn't his fault... when you only get 15 or so shots in the entire game, you can't expect to win

You aren't going to get a lot of shots against the Blues. I mean, this is the team that made Brian Elliot an All star.

Dubnyk has to make that save if he thinks he's a starter. Period.

yeah this team is fricken terrible without hall, lottery position for sure if he's out long term

Hall completely changes the dynamic of any line he's on. He is so much better than any other forward on the team. Frick. I hope he's okay.

sucks that we aren't going to hear what is wrong with hall for a day or so, if then.... the oilers aren't exactly known for being accurate in early prognosis of injuries, lol

Bellanger needs to pay attention, he had excellent suport at the net and he shot high instead of low far post, he ruined that entire zone entry, he is a vet talk to him, they have that play timed perfectly if bellanger puts the shot low far post so he has to make a toe save, REPEAT that play the right way it looks really good. Have Bellanger take it closer to the circle before he shoots.

The Blues came into this season as one of the favorites to win the Stanley Cup, the Oilers just trying to climb out of the basement. Don't have a cow, its just a game that we weren't really expected to win, and they are right in it.



The Blues have played like a lottery team more than a cup contender most of the season. They look nothing like last season for some reason.

This can be said about a lot of the goals Dubnyk lets in.

He just isn't a starter.

its certainly starting to look that way... the 2nd goal was pretty bad as well.... at the beginning of the year it looked like he might have put those weak goals behind him, but they have come back in a big way for his past 5-7 starts... you simply can't give up 1 really weak goal per game, you just can't

Classic Oilers. Playing a couple good shifts now. Giving us a tiny glimmer of hope, just enough to think they might tie it up.

Hopefully it's just a bruise...(crosses fingers). Losing Hall at this point of the road trip could really suck.

It's crazy people were complaining about him. The guy is this teams heart and soul right now. People were really comparing him to Todd Marchant.

If he's out, we're in trouble. Dubnyk hasn't played bad but he needs more support.

I think Quinn just called Eager, Belanger... Whatever, close enough, everybody drink!
