Low Effort GDT Sens @ Oiler - 8PM - ESPN+/TSN5/SNW - Chat GPT Edition

[Knave]

Will be interesting to see when Zub can get back. Broken foot, right? Hopefully by mid-January which means surviving the second road trip.

December 28th against Winnipeg, then the Wild and then Dallas finishing off with St Louis.

That's a pretty tough schedule.

Hopefully the players on this team can take the break, enjoy the holidays and come back crisper because the past 3 games have been fairly poor in terms of passing, generating good offensive opportunities. This team can play with anyone when they're on.

Leevi has impressed me. There are clear markings of an NHL goaltender, he is very refined for his age and seems to have the temperament you need to survive in the league.

This Grok? Slightly different look to it.

 

[DrEasy]

Honestly I was expecting an even worse result. Maybe Edmonton wasn't as good as I thought, or maybe it's our team newfound ability at limiting chances.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Did Hamonic force him into a bad spot? In that moment?

Yes on the 1st and 3rd goals he did. Now the 3rd Sanderson could have done better. But again back to my previous point

 

[czechcanadian]

Was at the game tonight. Boys looked tired. Even Edmonton was pretty slow and McDavid quiet.
Anyways, losing patience with Hamonic.
He has his moments but overall not good enough and on ice for too many goals.

I wouldn’t get hopes up with Zub either. He was awful after coming back from his concussion. Big giveaway machine.

Regardless hard fought battle. They’ll get back it after the break I’m sure.

Yes, I have mentioned a few times in the last two gdt (where's the Leevi thread ?) some real positive signs from the young tender. I hope he keeps playing well, could be good to have someone to replace Forsberg next year at a fraction of the price. Only goalie prospect for me right now that might have potential to become more than a career backup. Very calm, good composure and very good positioning. Couple very nice blocker and glove saves ... only thing I noticed that might need work is rebound control, but let's be honest we had vets in net that have been a lot worst than him the last few years. Be nice to have a solid tandem and someone we can trust when we give some nights off to Ullmark. Forsberg has been very hit and miss to me (too many miss).

 

[StutzlingAway]

Leevi moves really well which is a good sign as well. Above everything he seems to believe in himself which is a big part of what it takes to be a good goalie.

Norris and Batherson have to be better. Particularly Norris. Have to be. 3rd and 4th lines have been better in this winning streak and that can't fly.

Kleven also struggled a bit and Sanderson wasn't as good as last game. Therefore that means Hamonic's mistakes show in the worst way.

Rest of the team played very good. Hamonic is healthy scratch on a team near us in the standing or number 6 defender. We are literally losing out on an effective RD AND Sanderson's ability being suppressed because of having to cover for Hamonic.

 

[GhostfaceWu]

Triggered that bad you come here after your team squeaks out a win, huh? Goodbye to you on my feed clown.

Garbage in, garbage out - not talking about only useless data points here. Also referencing something else. See if you can figure it out Sherlock Holmes.

Yeah Im so butthurt that the Oilers won lol go ahead digest that sentence and tell me how that makes any sense. Acting like the Oilers played garbage when they literally gave Ottawa maybe 2 high danger chances is just so outrageously stupid it had to be highlighted.

 

[SpezDispenser]

Can't really be mad at that game

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Norris and batherson do not seem to play well away from tkatchuk

 

[swiftwin]

No, there's some games like tonight where we don't look like a playoffs team at all



You guys have a lot more endurance than I do, I haven't been able since day 1

I thought we looked like a playoff team tonight.

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

Cousins was the best player in the world tonight for one 20 second shift.

 

[Boud]

Not surprised at the outcome of this game with Perron, Amadio, Zub, Forsberg and Ullmark out at the tail-end of a 4 game swing on the road.

The week off should do good to the team mentally and physically. Hopefully that’ll solve some bumps and bruises and it would be great to have some bodies back here… Starting to look extremely thin at all positions.

 

[Boud]

Norris and batherson do not seem to play well away from tkatchuk

Yep, I wouldn’t split the Tkachuk- Norris- Batherson line at all. They have an identity and they know how to play together, they know where they are.

Norris particularly is not nearly as efficient when playing away from these 2.

 

[SensFactor]

Team need to find a two way top 9 winger and shutdown RD
