Post-Game Talk: Team is still broken

[rboomercat90]

Connor and Leon flying the zone late in overtime and getting burned again. They got away with it the first time but not the second time.

 

[5 14 6 1]

Expecting Janmark-Henrique-Brown to be our 3rd line for a full season when really they just had a hot PK while playing 4th line minutes in the playoffs was a bad call. They excelled because Foegele-McLeod-Holloway did much more heavy lifting offensively in the bottom 6.

Yup. Not to mention all our youth and speed instantly vanished from the team

 

[KlefDown]

this team is just f***ing cursed, all these analysts and sports writers picked us to win the cup is a bad omen

 

[GMofOilers]

I mean your initial statement was invalid anyways. Stu gave up 2 in all 3 periods, same as Andersen. Including the OT goal in that is DELIBERATE trolling and I have reported you.

But also you're just wrong and will always be wrong. I hope you know that.

Invalid? Some people can’t handle the truth

McDavid just quitting on scoring again mid-game after scoring 2, and being totally obsessed with trying to get Hyman a goal was hard to watch.

Don’t blame him for the loss, some bad defensive errors/coverage, and just loads of chaos all game. But the frustration of seeing our players still thinking they can just mess around, and everything is so easy that they can give themselves little side quests, is damn annoying. So many guys on this team still acting like they expect things to just work out cause they are so good.

 

[GMofOilers]

Yes you are an idiot who doesn't understand the hockey he sees and is mad at Stuart Skinner for stupid personal reasons, you are correct.

Some people can’t handle the truth

 

[Oilslick941611]

having a body in the lineup playing 6 is the issue, 6 shit minutes at that

yeah... nothing says shit 6m minutes than a 0 0 0 scoreline and 71% on the face-off. hes the 4th line centre man. Those are perfectly fine stats for a 4th line C.

The real problem is the top six not finishing.

 

[Oilhawks]

as they should if this keeps up, the idea of canning 3 coaches in 2 and half years is stupid. The players are on the hook here and they need to find a solution in the room. Firing another coach is a poor reflection on McDavid.

Yup, and honestly it's still pathetic that they might have to do any sort of "wake up call".

Annual check in for this team, at this point

 

[CanadasTeam99]

New management group, they will definitely explore a trade of a core player at this point.

This org gets too stuck on players. Needs more balance in the lineup. Back and front end.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

Is there a countdown on Knobby?

I mean when the first 5 guys didn't work, the 6th will work for sure right?

Wait I think Einstien said something about this...

 

[Heavy Dee]

xGF%
Brown 13%
Henrique 7%
Janmark 2.9% (1.4% if you count the PK)

Meanwhile McLeod would be leading this team in goals. Hated the Henrique signing.

 

[McTonyBrar]

Bouchard and McDavid decide to fly the zone. Great job... My God. What is the matter with this team?

 

[FiveFourteenSixOne]

This team's inability to score is starting to scare me, because it doesn't feel like they're going to turn it around.

The PP needs a revamp. Both Hymen and Nuge need to come off. Skinner needs to get a chance. He's been our most consistently dangerous guy all year.

 

[Oilhawks]

Oilers now with the worst shooting % in the NHL... 6.17%

Predators 2nd worst at 6.39%

Problem #1

Solve this and solve the rest of the woes by osmosis, IMO

 

[Lay Z Boy GM]

Idk I thought they played pretty well, easily could have had a few more goals either way. Both teams had chances and both teams goalies made crazy saves.

I just wanna be .500 again but the losses to Dallas and Carolina don’t sting too hard, they’re great teams and we barely lost.

 

[McDoused]

Wake the f*** up guys.

 

[CanadasTeam99]

RNH.

Don't make me pop a boner over here

 

[OfCorsiDid]

Invalid? Some people can’t handle the truth

That's not even the truth. It's a bald face lie. A lie so see-through and easily disprovable that it's inclusion means you're deliberately trying to stir shit up, which is against the rules.

 

[Stoneman89]

He wasn't cheating lol he was following the cane player who he thought was leaving the zone which he did after a slick pass the Bouchard fumbled his man imo

I agree. Bouchard gave zero effort on that play. Like he did a lot of the night.

 

[Cloned]

Team isn’t slow. They’re just playing stupid hockey looking for low percentage plays instead of taking what’s open.

 

[TheGingaNinja]

Judging from the replies, this might come off as a hot take...

I thought this was a heavyweight battle between two very good teams, that went back and forth. Stu was great, unfortunately Freddie was even better. Gut-wrenching end. McD blew the coverage, but were not even in OT without him. Was just an absolute, see saw, heavy forechecking on both sides, game that was highly entertaining, despite the heart breaking finish.

I will say, special teams are just killing us still They must get better.

 

[GMofOilers]

Which goal was his fault exactly?

Had his best game and was still second best goalie allowed 3GA in last 25 mins meanwhile the other guy shut the door

exactly the biggest issue is goal scoring, not D, not the goalie, not the PK, its scoring, we aren't scoring.

 

[Oilhawks]

At least there was only one McHollowbro goal tonight

I don't see Shittsburgh finishing gary though, so their march to a fluke division win continues

 

[GMofOilers]

That's not even the truth. It's a bald face lie. A lie so see-through and easily disprovable that it's inclusion means you're deliberately trying to stir shit up, which is against the rules.

One guy let in 3 goals in the last 25 mins of game the other let in 0

It’s a lie folks!
