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

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Its hard to judge faceoff ability just off one night.

Fair, I checked and he was at 17%, so like really not a strong night.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

I feel sorry for the mods tonight.

You know those mouthbreathers will be over here bragging about the pre-season.

 

[nexttothemoon]

Oilers only need 3 areas of improvement... offense... defense and goaltending.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

Kulak chasing a guy into the corner and abandoning the centre of the ice for some reason.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Has Skinner made a single tough save all pre-season?

 

[NedPlimpton]

maybe I should have continued my streak of not watching preseason games.

 

[Shizuka]

I guess they're meaning to replicate most of last season... including the piss poor start? FFS man.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Still on pace for 6 goals against lol

 

[Paralyzer]

I guess we forgot how to play Hockey. Could it hurt any of them to actually TRY for a bit instead of letting us be outscored 3-0?

 

[Davo Ikinzom]

It's fine, the preseason doesn't matter. The bigger the loss the better.

Would recommend, seems like a positive plan.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Oilers are gonna regret not upgrading on the goaltending.

Skinner looking like trash once again, cant make a big save, meanwhile Silovs has made multiple big saves.

 

[nexttothemoon]

I've only watched a few pieces here and there as well... figured I'd watch the last one because it should be closest to a "real game". So far not looking so good obviously.

 

[Old Boys Club]

Oilers are a reactive team, not proactive. We’ve seen time and time again this team can never get itself sorted and determined until they get slapped in the face.

 

[FiveFourteenSixOne]

Has Skinner made a single tough save all pre-season?

No. Every high danger chance has ended up in the net.

 

[oXo Cube]

Even by preseason standards this is a tough effort. Oilers vets just don't give a shit at all.

 

[Heavy Dee]

Teams have a choice of how many preseason games to play. Minimum 6 maximum 8.

Every year the mgmt is brain dead about playing 8.

 

[Messrules11]

maybe I should have continued my streak of not watching preseason games.

My thoughts exactly. Hockey can’t be half-assed, when it is it’s just ugly.

 

[harpoon]

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

That excuse is going to get real old real quickly.
Up and down the roster they look like shit out there tonight.

 

[Louis Cypher]

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.

Is it? Or is this how we are.

 

[Cloned]

Well worth it lol

 

[Broberg Speed]

You should watch women's softball. Clearly you never played hockey and know nothing about it.

congratulations on the funny, expert

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Nurse is dumb but as least he gives a shit

 

[Stealth1616]

Hopefully wrong, but I suspect another very slow start this season.

Just because we went to game 7 of the finals last year does not mean the team doesn’t have to work hard in the regular season.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

That excuse is going to get real old real quickly.
Up and down the roster they look like shit out there tonight.

Agreed, trade McDavid and Draisaitl.

Should get some good prospects.

Thats gotta be evened up right?
