GDT: Ooooh Banana - Oilers @ Wild 7:00 PM MT

[YakDavid]

McLeod got kneed

 

[3IR]

Sadly... Ekholm has looked like a very average dman so far.

If there's a single Dman on this team that has a right to look a little off, It's the guy who missed preseason, and then gets tasked with carrying Bouchard, who's playing the worst hockey I've ever seen from him.

 

[foshizzle]

And McLeod is hurt, holy f*** we’re gonna be running Broberg down the middle pretty soon.

McLeod is as soft as butter on a sunny day.

 

[Heavy Dee]

That was 100% on campbell.

Few understand this

 

[mkatcherin00]

Bouchard and Campbell. Lol

When does it end.....

It ends when your GM gets good solid consistent players. More of those through the lineup

 

[Kirby]

That was knee on knee on McLeod

 

[GhostfaceWu]

If only they could get in a time machine and undo the Campbell contract.

 

[Ibanez]

Sadly... Ekholm has looked like a very average dman so far.

I have to believe he’s still rusty. No training camp. I’m not worried … for now

We finally have a solid period, work hard and score twice and then Campbell proceeds to shit the bed.

This f***ing team, man.

Three guarantees in life. Death, taxes and and the inability for the oilers to keep the pedal down…

 

[Oilslick941611]

That was not on Campbell. That was Bouchard swatting the puck away as Campbell is trying to cover it

absolutely not on Campbell BUT

The goalie needs to make a damn save. How many times did Desmith, Hart, Hellebyuck make 5 alarm saves against us? how many times did they make fluke saves, how many times did look totally lost but came away with the puck in a scrum? the answer is a lot and that's why we've lost. Our goalies aren't making those saves, outside of the scorpion kick save from Campbell.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Ekholm/Bouch pairing has been atrocious today.

Ekholm has been bad all year.

 

[Vagabond]

Another game where we deserve to be up by a few but we're tied.

Anyone remember what it's like to hold a lead?

 

[Tobias Kahun]

If only they could get in a time machine and undo the Campbell contract.

Undo Hollands contract.

 

[foshizzle]

You mean that muffin shot that he put the rebound right into the slot wasnt his fault?

That’s right. He was about to cover it- happens a million times a game

 

[mkatcherin00]

McLeod got kneed

That goes with the theme tonight where half of these pluggers are boarding us

 

[McHelpus]

Buy out Campbell he's hopeless at this point.

 

[KCC]

Oof. 0/4 on the PP including 2 wasted 5-on-3's?

Going from a historic PP to a middle-of-the-pack/below average PP in one season is impressive.

Goes to show you how important McDavid is. At least Edm only plays like 3 games in the next 9 days so if he is back after that that’ll only be 3 losses. Lol

 

[Frank the Tank]

I see Kane is the new whipping boy...

It's not his fault, but it's clear he's not at the same level he was at pre-wrist injury; let alone the dominant player we saw in the 2022 playoffs

 

[K1984]

Coming out after one at evens. Will take that in this building.

But this team has left opportunity on the table with massive PP's and soft defending has kept Minnesota in the game.

We outplayed them, but our great equalizers were in full force.

This team is and has always only been as good as the dumbest player on the ice. Our problem is we have about a half dozen players on this team that can single handedly throw a game away on a given night, and all of them seem to like to take turns.

Fair point

 

[GhostfaceWu]

Undo Hollands contract.

Thankfully he didn't sign Skinner to a five year matching deal.

 

[McFlash97]

I liked our energy that period. We have our legs. With that said, holy f***, we cannot make a single clean pass and we are so god damn soft in front of our net

Keep grinding away though… and fire everything possible on net

Holloway and Clouds will break through soon. They’re playing so well. Also. Get Kane off PP1 please. He was horrific that period. I did like the scrap though

Bro your so off base.

The problem is not the forwards.


This is horrific defending by Bouchard and horrific goaltending by Campbell.

You have to start singling the weak links out or this will just keep going in circles. Someone surely has to be pointing out how pathetic Bouchards defending is on these plays.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

That’s right. He was about to cover it- happens a million times a game

Yeah, most goalies absorb that and dont let a rebound fall out 5 feet in front of them in a prime scoring position.

There should of been no rebound, how hard is that for people to understand.

 

[walktheboulavard]

Is it too much to ask for a little compete around the home plate area.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Wish Bouchard would try fighting for net front and be better tying up sticks. Just brutal.

Kane was great this period, in the mix, had fight, playing tough and has an assist. What do you expect from him??
