GDT: SCF | VII | "And This One Will Last a Lifetime" | Oilers @ Panthers | 6.24.24 | 6:00PM | SN

[McOilers97]

Team did NOT skate or battle well at all in that 1st period. A bit lucky to be 1-1. Can't leave the Panthers with possession behind the net - they're finding plays in the slot from those passes.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Saved by the horn.

 

[iCanada]

Need to wake the f*** up in the second. Lucky to be tied.

 

[orangewinter]

oilers are going to have to show up in the second period

 

[K1984]

Severely limit Nurse and the 4th line, or at minimum McLoed before one of those jackasses cost us the cup.

Stop the f***ing soft chip/pass up the wall now before that also costs us the cup. Punt the f***ing puck and chase rushes like we’ve done to get it to this point.

 

[Fishy McScales]

Bad ending to the period after a push.

We need to clean up our board play a lot. Florida comes out with the puck every time and generate chances.

 

[T-Funk]

Giving the puck directly to Florida all period because they are too soft to either take a hit or throw one. Coughing it up instantly.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

The boys need to be harder and stronger on the puck and in the dirty areas. IMO we were outbattled in that period. That needs to change.

 

[Vagabond]

Boyz are getting pounded in zone time!

Overall a decent 1st period on the road for game 7 of the cup finals.

It's time to step up now in the 2nd.

The top 6 can show up anytime!

 

[Wreckus]

If there was a time for Coffey to speak up in the dressing room, now's the time.

 

[Oilers88]

Need to manage the puck much better than that. Nothing doing from the top of the lineup in that first period.

 

[Mez]

Ok glad to get out of first tied...home team typically should dominate the first period.

 

[LevelingSolo]

Not good at all, lucky to be tied

 

[Manhattan]

STOP CHOKING the puck FFS.

How is it possible to have possession and yet lose it in your own zone each and every time?

 

[CycloneSweep]

I’m trying to be hopeful but doubt is fully setting in

 

[TB12]

Saved by the horn.

I tell my gf that all the time, that she's been saved by my horn


(Sorry, we need some laughter in here. My ass can only be so clenched)

 

[Zguy370]

No

Not a great 1st. But at the same time, a perfect road period, tied at 1. I trust Knobber to make adjustments in the 1st. His coach at U of A was a master at in-game adjustments and Knobber has shown that all year. Boys will make the necessary adjustments to counter what they're doing and will win the 2nd.

LFG

No doubt, Knob is on it! Hope you enjoyed your golf game , I'm on Tomorrow

 

[sepHF]

Not our best period but huge response by Janmark off a beautiful Ceci pass

Gotta be better on the walls and start stretching them out again

 

[T-Funk]

That period brought to you by.....The Picture...

 

[K1984]

STOP CHOKING the puck FFS.

How is it possible to have possession and yet lose it in your own zone each and every time?

Our comfort zone is soft plays up the wall, it cost us the first three games and it has to stop now.

 

[Mav3rick07]

We're lucky to be tied because I thought Florida played a near perfect period.

 

[snipes]

Really need to come out flying in the 2nd.

 

[Senor Catface]

Bench McLeod

 

[cruisecity]

The same issues were taking place last game. Almost all of our defencemen have gone back to the bad habits they've had for 5+ years now. Not a single one of them is looking up to make a play out of the zone. It's all rings around the boards to wingers who are incapable of making plays with the puck like that, or weird flips into the neutral zone jumbotron.

They're panicking. Coffey needs to tell them to smarten the f*** up, to take a hit to make the play. They're scared of getting hit and we're barely scraping by.

 

[nexttothemoon]

That Janmark goal was obviously HUUUUGE... without that response... that 1st period would really give the Panthers all the momentum going forward.
