Post-Game Talk: Team is still broken

[Took a pill in Sbisa]

No offense, but why is Hyman getting shifts on OT?

There's literally no part of his game that is OT-friendly.

My concern is TOI for some players. Knob just does have much faith in some players

The team is slow. Up and down the lineup.

At the top, Hyman is much slower than even a season ago, Draisaitl skates like he's being mounted by a rhino and Connor has clearly lost a few steps over the past couple seasons.

None of them look slow to me.

Didn't I didn't watch this one. Same story so far as last year and I'm beginning to think that our little run to the finals involved quite a bit of luck. As predicted there won't be a lot of home ice advantage (if any) come playoff time. Too bad.

Not watching the Oilers feels like a good life choice at this point. I'm skipping the rest of the games in October too. F*** this s***!

This team and organization never ceases to perplex me.

Time for some drastic measures

Skinner-McDavid-Brown
Henrique-Draisaitl-Perry
Janmark-Nuge-Hyman
Podkolzin-Ryan-Arvidsson


You want to play in the top 6? Score a goal.

You want off the 4th line? Get a point. (Hyman is lucky there are 3 other players who have done as little as him).

Ditto for the top PP unit. Until you score a goal you’re not out on the PP. Sorry Nuge, sorry Hyman. Jeff Skinner in front of the net, Henrique in Nuges spot.

Sure it's a small sample (it's early season so samples are small for every team... both good and bad)... but point remains that in those 7 games... McDrai are contributing ~39% of the teams production.

Do we expect those 2 to produce 45% or 50% or more of the entire team's offensive production even in small samples?

Those %’s swing wildly every game. Especially when’re scoring just 2 goals a game.
