Post-Game Talk: Team is still broken

[Drivesaitl]

You poked the bear

Gonna get my Sherwood Lumber out for the 2nd time tonight. Youse varmints! haha

The only players who look slow are RNH, Perry and Ryan.

Did I mention how bad RNH has been?

Maybe he is depressed. Lost too much $$ on his horses, etc? Minds not into hockey. If I never watched hockey, I would think he is some AHL call up

 

[RandomGuy79]

Too many games we constantly give up when up 2-0.

I really don't get it. Do we have to fire a coach every season?

 

[oobga]

what's the Oilers PDO? must be the worst in the league

Think Nashville is worse. It’s worse than our last season at this point though. Before tonight was 0.903 in all situations. SJ finished last year 0.974. Our inability to finish has been on another level this season.

 

[McFlash97]

Wasn't only Dermott and Emberson his responsibility?

Unless I'm neglecting someone, Josh Brown was a JJ move no?

This is McDrais 9th season. No fn manager should get a pass under any circumstance. This guy dropped the ball and the entire fan base knew it with the offer sheets but gave him a free pass bcz he signed Draisaitl.

He fxxx up. Stop defending the guy. Signing trash after trash. He has terrible talent acquisition ability. He can't see talent and ability. What he sees is he was able to weasel himself back into the NHL. His jobs done.

Good plays bad plays. He did setup Arvid and Skinner so many times they ought to have scored. His backhand pass to McD in perfect time was pretty good. Drai also won every faceoff in OT, made around 4 outstanding plays in own zone today that nobody comments on, and had a couple looks as well. Least he wasn't blowing zone on winning goal. He did look gassed.

But hey. Whats with the rest of the lineup getting nothing? McD and Drai show as per usual.

I would be a bit more harsh, but fair enough. Specifically I thought there was some effort issues, but honestly as you said that can be applied to 80% of the lineup.

I think Skinner did well enough on his chances but Andersen was sharp, sometimes you gotta tip your cap. Arvidsson looks confused. Almost McLeod like.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Just goalies I think.

You know that Brown could explode at any moment.

Kidding right? I've been waiting for that brown explosion (sounds ugly) for two seasons now. All the guy does is looks like he tries hard and nothing. He's played 120 games for us and has what, 7 goals? All I hear is how great he is.

 

[5 14 6 1]

Our leaders aren't leaders

 

[MoontoScott]

The Calgary Flames have 100X more jump than we do thus far this year. At least they play with fire. I know the vets will turn it around. I will panic if we go close to 2-9-1 again lol

I predicted they would be better. Not much pressure and no expectations for even making the playoffs. In contrast the Oiler sticks are tight.

 

[McTonyBrar]

I didn't want to get started on him. Too much negativity in one night.

Good idea lol

I would never kid you. Besides, I never said what kind of explosion.

 

[Oilers333]

- Oilers never hold a 2-0 lead not, surprised
- Our team is one of the oldest in the league and one of the slowest especially after losing Mcloed, Foegele and Holloway
- Our defense is even shitier than it was previous seasons as Nurse continues to fall off a cliff, lost Ceci and insert some no name guy, lost our most promising young blueliner outside of Bouch.
- It all dont matter because we will soon be paying Mcdrai and Bouch 45% of the cap which looking at history pretty much mean we aint winning the cup

Way to bite my head off about something I didn't even do or say.

All I'm trying to say is if you're only pointing the finger at Bowman, then you're mistaken. There's a lot of blame to go around for this start and almost nobody is blameless.

Thanks man. Reasonable reply.

This is an insult to McLeod. almost heh.

 

[RandomGuy79]

Oilers just absolutely sucks when they are expected to win. When everyone thinks they are down and out they shine.

Really wish everyone would pick us to miss this year.

Let this be a lesson to all of you:

Never get married (or engaged).

Keep preaching. If you can save just one person from getting married it’s all worth it.

I'm celiac. I know about those blow outs.. tmi and then some haha

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Our leaders aren't leaders

The captain scored both goals tonight

 

[McTonyBrar]

Noah Philp scored tonight

 

[Cloned]

Keep preaching. If you can save just one person from getting married it’s all worth it.

Forgive me Father.

 

[bellagiobob]

It’s so discouraging that after 10 years our best two players still apparently need a new coach every year to get them motivated to play a two way game. I honestly thought we were done with this shit last year. Apparently not.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

No, its a specious one.

I wouldn't characterize it as that. I was actually curious of your take.

 

[CrazyJoeDavola]

Hyman's new nickname is 007. 0g 0a 7gp

 

[Drivesaitl]

I don't think it is though. Oilers seem to love this drama and always making it harder on themselves. Like seeing Sabbath without Bill Ward handling the back end.

I wouldn't characterize it as that. I was actually curious of your take.

Its all good. No harm no foul. I'm chasing balls at the plate anyway.
