Deserved loss to a shit team

Very arrogant group, difficult to cheer for at times

Get rid of these 'parent trip' distractions, they don't deserve it
My former boss texted me saying they played like shit and deserved the loss, thought I’d check the board to see other’s thoughts. The bolded raises the question of what is their record on these “mom” trips anyways? Seems like every year they get their dick holes smashed in on these trips.
 
Mcdavid was really bad in this game despite the 2 powerplay points, especially in the 3rd. Wonder what's up with him, he looked really off today.

But yes, the Oilers deserved to lose this one for a multitude of reasons. Poor compete, dressing Derek Ryan, keeping RNH on the top line(holy shit he was bad), playing Nurse 20+ minutes despite his awful night, scratching J.Skinner and/or not scratching J.Skinner soon enough, letting S.Skinner sit on the bench and bring down Pickard's game, GM not getting a decent backup goaltender, GM not getting a good starting goaltender, GM not replacing the goaltending coach, Schwartz not teaching goaltenders how to handle the puck properly, Coach not calling out the refs after the LA game, coach not throwing a bench at the refs in this game, the hockey moms making all the players nervous, the hockey moms dragging their sons out on the town in LA until late(*may or may not have happened), etc etc.

Hopefully I covered almost everything.
 
Need a group that doesn’t take games off. This one wasn’t a personnel issue.
Every time I see a slew of headlines that say "Oilers red hot" I hope that nobody on the team is reading it. There are a number of nights when the effort looks like entitlement.

On any given night anybody in the NHL can beat you.

Outworked. End of roster players can't hurt your team with big penalty minutes. Oil got the penalty kills but Ducks carried the play. Oil blow a 3-1 game against a lottery team giving up 4 consecutive goals. D-pairings did not work. Stack Line panic move did not work.

Piss poor effort, self induced blunders. Embarrassing.
 
told everyone Hockey in Canada would die if the Country doesn’t get behind the Oilers and cheer for a Cup to come
Home.

And now look what happens, getting torched by f***in Latvia.
Latvia didn't torch anybody...Canada lost that game with poor shot selection. Latvia turtled and relied on a performance of a lifetime from their goalie.

Also this JR team construction has been questioned much like the 06 olympic team, they just left too much at home.
 
These guys deserve 0 sympathy for having difficult paths in the playoffs. They do it to themselves. Pretenders that will never win anything
How f***ing sad is it that we can't even win a division title this far into McDavid's career. We're going to have to play the Kings in the first round again and that's going to be all the home ice advantage we'll get all playoffs if we advance.
 
Yeah, true. Would have had two points yesterday if Stu was better, but I guess that's why he's the starter (because they refuse to get anyone better and have these two slotted where they should be: Stu as 1B and Pickard in the AHL)
Stu didn’t make enough big saves last night. Story typical of him when he’s not playing his best. But the muffin goal today would have been nice to avoid and likely would have if Stu was in net.

If they want to upgrade on Picks I’m fine with it. But the only move that made complete sense to try has sailed. Average goaltending might not be dire enough to spend those assets.

I know. I just want to guilt trip Canada into supporting an oilers Cup.

Today was 100% entitlement.

From puck drop they were absolutely dogging it. Not just the normal dumb/lazy efforts where they’re just off, but they were legitimately skating at half speed and slow playing any possessions.

They might have poor efforts against other teams, but they would never come out with THAT against any opponent with higher pedigree.

Are the mains just jealous of us getting good players or are their brains melted. They have an unhealthy celebration when the Oilers lose a game.
The org deserves it for all the years of wasted McDavid and wasted talent. If another team wasted most of McDavids career like the org has then we would hate them too.
