Post-Game Talk: Playoff spot engaged

[MessierII]

ya we're f***ed

We could beat the kings without Ekholm if the rest of the core guys and some support guys are 100%

 

[RattsSSV]

Pics or it didn’t happen.

Haha, happened pretty quick. She was in the background behind Chelsey Bird but was on the jumbotron.

Suck it Calgary

May they suck it long, and suck it hard.

no matter what happens this spring, we will always be able to point and laugh at that team and city

PLAY LA BAMBA

LA for sure, agreed. do you think Ekholm will come back at near 100%? idk what's going on with this guy. is it the same thing getting re-aggravated?

 

[OfCorsiDid]

.917

That’s hilarious. Fan appreciation night indeed.

It’s scary. We can make a run at it but we can’t win without him

That is such a big if at this point. I don’t see any way that Drai, Kane, Frederic are at 100%, and when you ad in a dirty Kings team that will take joy in taking unpenalized hacks and whacks at us, it will only get worse as the series goes on. Really hope I’m wrong though.

That's not the point. We needed everyone healthy and it's clear they're not. Ekholm can **** off "I'm ready". Stupidity is the #1 reason this organization is not winning the cup.

I’m going into the playoffs with a “yay if we win” mindset

Tempered by a. This year is weird and our team isn’t healthy and sometimes timing just doesn’t work out.

Let’s hope it’s the first one

Hopefully they are managing it. That said, next man up.

Here comes Crott on a Friday night pissing on another Oilers W. Just can't be happy because its Pickard making HUGE stops for the W.

Reminiscent of DSF

 

[I am the Liquor]

Team needs to get healthy in a hurry

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Missed the entire game as Friday night is D&D night. How did the injuries to Hyman and Ekholm happen? Read Ekholm aggravated his existing injury after 1 minute. If that’s the case who’s the idiot who cleared him to play?

I am beginning to think we have Dustin Schwartz’s relatives as our medical staff.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

The team has been relatively healthy the past few years but now… sheesh.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

I would laugh react at this but the Stu fanclub reported me for laughing at their inane goaltending takes.

Instead I will say the Oilers clinched and Picks made an unreal game saving save at the end...and you're mad about this? CalgaryPuck is that way ----------------------->

TB careful you’ll get called up in front of a firing squad next.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Dude .. why come in and derail the PGT on a night the Oilers win and clinch a playoff spot with a severely depleted lineup?

Funny that, as I suspect he was the guy reporting others left right and center last game.

 

[Vagabond]

If the Oil somehow miraculously beat the Jets and Colorado beats LA tomorrow... that LA vs Oil game coming up will be insanely intense! We still have a slight chance to get home ice over LA.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Nope

 

[CrazyJoeDavola]

Even better … why did he participate in the 4 Nations. That was just unnecessary.

I can understand the 4 nations. It was probably his decision and it was two damn months ago. He would either be fully healthy by now, or being rested until playoffs and ready for then if he was managed properly after that tourney

My guess is the Oilers rest everyone important over the next 3 games... or at least play them very limited minutes if they do play... I expect 3 lopsided losses.

 

[GMofOilers]

Pickard with his 22 win on the season

@CROTT
Not my fault Skinner sucks!

He has 24 wins on the season in 48 games. Worst goalie in the NHL

 

[AddyTheWrath]

f***ing idiot management probably overruled the medical staff again. Why tf wasn't ekholm just shut down until playoffs. Brain dead decisions buy our brain dead organization

I don’t think that’s how it works ..

Ekholm likely said he was feeling good enough to go and they trusted him. Then he realized he wasn’t

We have plenty of reasons to shit on management. We don’t need to start making shit up

There's credible reporting coming out that the medical staff was adamant about Frederic not being ready, but was overruled by management, coaches, and player. That's organization failure. And what's to say it didn't happen with Drai and Ekh?
