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

[BlackDogg]

This one guys talking like hes already had 10 beers.

Talk a little slower there buddy.

He gets paid by the word

 

[Tobias Kahun]

All I’m asking is a semblance of giving a shit

Their last 3 preseasons have been dogshit which resulted in awful starts and playing catch up the rest of the year
Maybe they turn the switch for game 1, hopefully they do….but this preseason performance is subpar so far

They had a pretty good pre-season last year.

This whole pre-season myth about last year is after their start.

Nah, people criticized Woodys training camp the entire time

 

[Drivesaitl]

Yeah. Single mistakes don’t bug me. Losing doesn’t bug me. It’s the trends that the team is forming and showing right now that is worrying.
Lots of fans saying it’s only preseason who cares.
I guarentee the coaching staff doesn’t agree.

Well yeah. This is he Nucks club that gave us grief all regular season and playoffs. Oilers usually take note of that sort of thing and you know theyr'e circling Nucks on calander this year but still this similar scoreline. I think the Oilers played better than Nucks, but goaltending going to be he difference in a lot of the matchup.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

He gets paid by the word

he might have a grievance with the labor board later.

Zero chance hes making minimum wage if thats the case.

Nah, people criticized Woodys training camp the entire time

They were still winning and playing good, and the goalies were playing good.

People were criticizing how all the no-names were still playing games.

 

[Broberg Speed]

If you're talking about the forwards at fault those 1st 2 goals then I agree Defence itself had nothing to do with them

f***ing
puck
movement my friend
is non-existent
from the back end
on the f***ing Edmonton Oilers


I'll keep repeating it until it's f***ing fixed!

What are you talking about?

Don't you remember in 13-14 when we went 5-2-1 or 6-2-1 in 17-18, and rolled over the Pacific?

 

[McShogun99]

Last game of preseason and both teams look like they’re just going thru the motions.

 

[K1984]

I don’t know why anyone is confused by Skinner playing like garbage against the Nucks. Some players have some teams they just stink against, and that’s the Nucks for Skinner. The only games he’s won against them are the ones where the Oilers severely limit shots against.

However, the lack of finishing is once again a concern, and Leon’s coverage on goal 2 was nothing short of embarrassing.

Im saying pre-season doesnt matter.

Bad teams with a bunch of players trying to make a name usually play good.

The Oilers who just went to game 7 are trying to manage their energy.

 

[Senor Catface]

Im saying pre-season doesnt matter.

haha yeah, I'm agreeing.

Just showing two great preseasons that led to stinker seasons.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

f***ing

I mean, honestly, things are probably hopeless, we best just give up.

what? for f*** sakes

 

[Tobias Kahun]

haha yeah, I'm agreeing.

The last game against the canucks.

McDavid and Draisaitl took 3 strides total before the OT, and then they finally turned it on in the 3v3 and had like 15 chances. They're probably gaining more from the practices when they know the teams not trying to injure them.

 

[Thomas Tatar]

It could be Bobby Orr walking through the entire team to score an all-timer and you would complain about Skinner.

I think this is a you problem.


We probably will, only makes sense.

But I didn’t complain about Skinner…

 

[Broberg Speed]

I mean, honestly, things are probably hopeless, we best just give up.

no, but maybe we should get some defenseman that can play the game of hockey

 

[walktheboulavard]

allright we get it. It's a long bridge.

 

[DavidHasselhoffsFist]

We are tied if not leading by the time the second third period ends in my dreams!

 

[walktheboulavard]

Darnell icing. Take a drink.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

what the f*** is nurse doing there

 

[CROTT]

Darnell icing. Take a drink.

Modern day equivalent of Hemsky offside…

 

[Broberg Speed]

Darnell icing. Take a drink.

Why get him a transporter of the puck on his pairing when f***ing Emberson is fine... don't you know only Brown sucks !

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Only downside to Philp so far, having a tough night on the dot, but I think he could really work on that.

 

[walktheboulavard]

He is the transporter. That's literally his strength. All day to gain the redline before dumping that puck in.

Its hard to judge faceoff ability just off one night.
