GDT: Preseason Game 8, Oilers at Canucks in the final (thank God) beer leager. Sportsnet 8 PM

[Tobias Kahun]

Still hoping this defense can keep it under 6 goals against tonight
On pace for it right now

Stuart could shoot 5 goals in his own net and you'd still blame the defense.

Just admit you arent watching.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Is it sarcasm tonight or are people actually worried about the game?

If the latter, yikes

Be nice if they showed a bit of care
Getting clowned every game with NHLers in the lineup is a bad look

 

[Senor Catface]

Remember last year when we were 5-2-1 in preseason and that totally translated to the start of the season?

Always the goalies fault lol

 

[BlackDogg]

Ya and they look like the 1st 5 games of the regular season last year why you play your vets to get them into game shape, last pre-season McDrai got very few games in and it showed early in the season

Puju is skating circles around this core right now

 

[CycloneSweep]

We’re just giving up an obscene amount of goals this preseason

I know it’s only preseason but it’s definitely a big worry at this point. It’s an unfortunate trend.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Remember last year when we were 5-2-1 in preseason and that totally translated to the start of the season?

And elite Jack Campbell lol

 

[Oilhawks]

It's only game 1, 2,3,4,5,6,7...8

It’s only the pre-season. Game 1 or 8, who gives a shit?

Plenty of time to panic during the regular season

 

[Cloned]

Get all this BS out of the way in the preseason.

 

[KCC]

Drai had way more time than he thought. Sucks. Lol

 

[Oilhawks]

Be nice if they showed a bit of care

Not sure how much effort I’d put in to meaningless pre-season games after the season they just had.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Always the goalies fault lol

No.

But you were blaming last game on the defense when the goalie was the only reason they gave up so many goals.

 

[syz]

Overpassing, not capitalizing on the other team's poor play, and getting scored on every other shot. The October Oilers are back again.

 

[dssource]

LOL. Janmark given a gift, dekes the goalie but misses the net.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Not sure how much effort I’d put in to meaningless pre-season games after the season they just had.

Hopefully the Oilers don’t have the same attitude you have
We all remember their shit bag start last year
But this year will be different because “reasons”

 

[OfCorsiDid]

Imagine being a team where the other goalie makes big saves, and your goalie cant make a save at all.

Game 0 of 82 and goalie bad.

Can’t wait for more tired tropes such as “bouch dumb” and “no depth”

 

[VainGretzky]

Not sure how much effort I’d put in to meaningless pre-season games after the season they just had.

McDavid 5th game of the pre-season you would have to suspect he knew what happened last year and wants to start in game shape

 

[OfCorsiDid]

I always thought Stu could get something done upfront

Well he’s a big body, skates well.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Just like last game when edm had break downs they were very bad.

Edmonton had 2 breakdowns and gave up 6 goals last time.

Any proper goalie gives up 2 goals last game.

The first goal shouldnt go in.

Our goalie is unable and cant look around a screen if his life depended on it, the deflection was 80 feet from him.

 

[VainGretzky]

The team had 5 great scoring chances that period Nuge twice Hyman Janmark and Drai

 

[McFlyingV]

Getting into good spots and just poor execution and poor decisions killing several good scoring chances that period. Would have liked Skinner to have the first one, but 2nd one was just too many guys puck watching and gravitating to it. Still like the look of Emberson and Stetcher in there. Puck retrievals look a lot better and break out passes much better with those two back there. Once they tighten things up over the first month of the season the back end should come together.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Always the goalies fault lol

Gaoltending is absolutely the difference in the game. Silovs with half a dozen highway robberies and Skinner as usual getting beat on any puck across. On first 5 shots 3 got by Skinner. Seesms like we've seen this movie before. Skinner is, and always has been awful against the Canucks.

 

[North]

It’s clear the Oilers are still just trying to get through this game without getting hurt but after this it’s time to turn it on.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

No.

But you were blaming last game on the defense when the goalie was the only reason they gave up so many goals.

Goaltending is a part of “defense”
This team doesn’t give a shit about defense with the amount of goals they give up in the preseason..NHLers or not in the lineup

Hopefully they turn on the switch for Game 1

 

[Oilhawks]

Hopefully the Oilers don’t have the same attitude you have
We all remember their shit bag start last year
But this year will be different because “reasons”

Well, clearly they aren’t taking pre-season seriously or else they’d have a winning record so you and the other whiners would stop constantly bitching and moaning, acting like these games are worth dying for.

If they don’t take the regular season seriously, then the whining here will be justifiably unbearable

No wonder the only “new” members we get here are the same recycled banned posters, toxic dump of a forums nowadays.

It’s a f***ing children’s game, some of you get too worked up about every little thing that goes wrong for the team.
