Post-Game Talk: That win was like pulling teeth

[CupofOil]

IT doesn't matter if it was ugly, they just needed a win. Lots of times losing streaks are ended with ugly wins then the team gains confidence from simply being on the winning side finally. Take it and run, don't overanalyze

 

[snipes]

Painful, painful win. Glad we pulled out the W which is all that matters.

Been a rough stretch of games and I frankly thought we were going to find a way to lose in regulation.

Hopefully we can build off this.

Bravo Pickard

I only started watching in the 3rd, Oilers looked better than the last few games and could have had 2 more goals easily.

I’ll take the win either way

 

[MessierII]

If Draisaitl could hit empty nets he’d already have 50 goals

 

[bellagiobob]

Hard to believe that Hall was once the MVP of the league. Good win for the boys, hopefully we can build on this one.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Empty net goals are not this team strong point

 

[K1984]

McDavid was fine tonight other than that PP at the end. Hyman and RNH are still doing nothing out there though.

McDavid was horrendous in his own end. Like really bad.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

McDavids best game in weeks. Did you actually watch?

Best game in weeks.

Thats not saying much considering hes tied for 5v5 points with perry and kulak in the last 26 games.

 

[BlackDogg]

Goaltending, huh?

We don't need it!

 

[elmeroil]

Whatever Mcdavid is battling wow is it ugly. That play at the end was beyond gross. Calvin bailed him out big time, that was soooooo bad

 

[Frank the Tank]

Refs and insane crease luck kept that game closer than it should have been then Carolina pushed. Sometimes you have to win ugly to break a losing streak.

You miss the Bouchard snipe? /sarcasm

 

[K1984]

I’ll go to my grave saying that if Hall had never played for the Oilers at any point he doesn’t win it.

There was a certain zeal to creating the “lol one for one now he won the Hart!” storyline from the media that universally hate the Oilers.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

They just never make it easy.

McDavids best game in weeks. Did you actually watch?

i guess i have higher expectations of the best player in hockey than some.

That blunder at the end was inexcusable.

 

[McDrai]

Kulak always steps up when Nurse is out

He’s great anchoring his own line. The coach should take notes

 

[tardigrade81]

Start pickard going forward

 

[brentashton]

I love Pickard and think he’s great.

However,

I’m conflicted by the fact that our last backup goalie became our annointed starter. And how has that worked out…

Get a goalie Stanley.

[LeonDraisaitl29]

Make Pickard the starter!

 

[McAsuno]

Bouchard with his first PPG of the season is something I didn’t imagine saying from this part in the season. Hope it gets him going even if it is an empty net goal.

LOL at f***ing canes fans though. Booing when their team had more powerplays tonight, stfu.
Eat shit, Brind’Amour you gargoyle looking goof

 

[Oilslick941611]

He didnt deserve the award that year. Its a lucky win for him. Worst MVP

 

[sepHF]

Bouchard finally with a PP goal

this team is so cursed with empty nets

That first line was BRUTAL in their own end tonight. McDavid looks exhausted out there

 

[Ibanez]

Hard to believe that Hall was once the MVP of the league. Good win for the boys, hopefully we can build on this one.

I’d still take him for cheap. I’ll always have a soft spot

 

[syz]

McDavid was horrendous in his own end. Like really bad.

He was in his own end a lot because Hyman and RNH looked like they didn't even want to try.
