Feel like a broken record: don't think we played bad but we don't generate enough.

Another game lost on the power play
Great game. We tried hard and that's all that matters.
Frustrating but I don't think that was a bad game.
If they played like that in November/December they'd be comfortably in a playoff spot.

The effort was definitely there.
Good, honest hockey from both sides.
Oilers are just the better team.

A wise man once told me "you are what you eat"
And right now, we're a soggy 3 week old burrito from Taco Bell that does absolutely nothing besides giving you ebola and explosive shits

Had chances,just couldn't bury them.Sometimes you just have to tip your hat to the other goalie
We outplayed them, and I'm sure people will ignore that to harp to death on every scoring play into the wee hours.
It's frustrating that we lack talent up front and went 40 minutes before we started generating anything. That's a valid concern.
This might be the weakest team mentally I've ever seen. The only team in the league without a multiple goal comeback, outside of a 4 game stretch where we had 3 3rd period comebacks to win we can't play from behind all season. As soon as the fluke goal went in to make it 2-1 you knew they wouldn't tie it. They proceeded to f***ing fan on 5 different shots in the next 3 minutes. The team is full of f***ing chokers.
The difference between the playoffs and not has been the play of our top forwards. Kreider getting a ton of minutes to be useless. Trocheck trying to be a hero and failing miserably. Panarin sitting in his office as far from the net as you could possible be. I feel like they spent all game trying to feed JT (who stunk tonight) so he could be the hero and take the mantle from them. We need to move on from these overpaid bums who have worn out their welcome
I mean it's not really fair to say they didn't respond when they had the puck for 10 minutes after the 2-1 goal.
Need more talent up front. Don't have enough guys that can either create a real opportunity. Or, more important, we don't have enough guys with enough talent to really capitalize on good chances.
Stuart Skinner sucks ass, but a crap goalie can luck into outplaying your high paid one any random given night.
Also, jesus christ does Zac Jones blow chunks. He can't play actual defense to save his life.

Last year, this is a 3-1 win.
The bounces and luck for the past three seasons have caught up this season.
