Post-Game Talk: Same Old... 3-0 Wild

[Da McBomb]

Defenseman never join those scrums unless it's close to a brawl. The face-off comes outside the zone if they do.

RNH standing up to Keith Ballard is more important than having some player flying in to rescue him from a 5'10'' cream puff.

Hall handled Cooke fairly easily.

Those guys need to show they can do that and not have players rescue them like they're frail princesses.

Agreed... the kids need to start standing up for themselves sooner or later. Yah it probably wasn't that big of a deal last night as Hall did handle himself ok.. but that play was just one small example of too many over the season showing how easy it is for other teams to push around our kids with no real consequences.

Is this what they are though? They sure act like it....

Standing up to?

RNH: "Hey, I'm here, I'm manning up, whaddya gonna do about it?"

(Ballard punches Nuge in the face)

RNH: "Hey, I'm like mad now, whaddya gonna do about it."

(Ballard punches Nuge in the face)


Nuge gets extra penalty...

I like that we don't have to read the "step back from the ledge" posts that used to be so common after these types of crap efforts.

They must have all joined us on the High Level bridge.

 

[mpah]

yeah that game sucked... but at least this happened

 

[Da McBomb]

I know Rexall sounds pretty quiet on the TV lots of nights, but last night seemed like it was just dead. And all the empty seats with 5 minutes left in the game was quite the sight too.

In fairness to the old couple what could there possibly be to cheer for last night?

Some people are just a bit annoyed when they see a horrible club play yet again, lose yet again, and seeing people apparently disconnected from the reality that Is this team cheering them on?!

Personally I think the wave is kind of annoying. It used to be an expression of joy like the Nana na goodbye stuff when the club is winning.

Now it happens in the 3rd period regardless.

People just have a different view on how to respond to a horrible club I guess

Was contemplating whether to watch this one or not, but decided against it since we were playing the Wild. Judging by the boxscore and posts here, it looks like I made the right choice.

The couple of Oiler fans waving goodbye to Eakins as the game ended like "you're so fired" was probably the highlight of the night.

 

[CornKicker]

The couple of Oiler fans waving goodbye to Eakins as the game ended like "get outta here" was pretty funny.

is there a gif of that because thats funny

 

[CornKicker]

i really did with people would toss more jerseys on the ice, that is the ultimate sign of eff you to the management of the team

 

[oilerbear]

Easily one of the worst games I've seen this season. Just a piss poor effort all around.

Did you watch the games before this!

What did you expect!

 

[KCC]

Long break, out of the playoffs again, the trade deadline approaching. Tough to stay motivated. So I'm not surprised. If they had something to play for, they'd probably have worked harder.

 

[CaptainCrunch67]

Fan of another team, but saying they have nothing to play for is a big problem. As a professional hockey player they should be playing for their jobs, for better contracts down the road, to show that they want to keep playing for this team.

If the Oilers dog it through the next 20 odd games then they have a bigger problem then coaching and management.

They always do hahaha, I think the 07-08 year was the last time they actually went balls to walk in the last 20

You'd think that, but we all learned that when they had a chance to be in a playoff spot and they folded, where the character lies with the team (or doesn't lie).

I would trade the Oilers for the Latvian team.

Only if Ted Nolan came with them.

 

[rboomercat90]

Most teams in the league would love to trade their roster for ours.

Not most, just half.

 

[rboomercat90]

I'm not really confident YET ANOTHER coach is going to fix the problems on this team. They look much the same as they did under Krueger and Renney.

They still can't figure out how to break out of their own zone.

They still can't figure out what a back check is.

They still can't figure out what a fore check is.

They still can't figure out what a body check is.

I get that hockey is a complex game, but is it really that hard when at least 25 other teams have it figured out?

Aren't Buchberger and Smith supposed to be the teachers who were responsible for this over the years? I'm really hoping their replacements can make a difference next year. I'd be shocked to see any more change than that, if that.
