Post-Game Talk: Time to cut the moustache

[AnInjuredJasonZucker]

I think it's past a few posters' bed times.

Anyway, I liked the scrum with Perry. Gave an impression that the intensity is going to pick up down the stretch.

Very minor note, but I'm surprised that Jones has taken his foot off the gas so much. He had a pretty big opportunity to get consideration for an energy role in the playoffs, but after a great first game, there hasn't been much sandpaper to his game. I wonder if Knob saw him lay a few big hits and told him to knock it off.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Could Rodrigue be worse? I haven't seen enough of the Condors to possibly judge.

He could maybe go on a run on adrenaline alone for all we know. Guy has never had a chance at the NHL level, not even 1 minute.

 

[LTIR]

You think hes catching that guy?

Is he supposed to hustle back so he can pull the puck out of the net faster?

I get you.. but it's just a laughable clip. 0 urgency shown as if he knee Skinner isn't stopping the first shot so no rebound would be available.
Ekholm was trash tonight.

I’m shaving tomorrow as well, I can no longer in good faith rock a mustache

 

[K1984]

When your top pair (and Ekholm needs to be included in this) is as embarrassingly terrible as they were, and your #1 goalie is likely the worst in the league it’s hard to win, even if everyone else on the team plays well. And tonight everyone else other than 2, 14 and 74 played very well.

Same old dumb shit, doesn’t matter who is or isn’t in the lineup. Dominate, don’t score, do a single dumb thing, back of the net, chase the game from there. Every f***ing game.

Picks is above .900 in 3 of his last 4 games.

Skinner is above .900 in 3 of his last 14 games.

Just like...

f***ing enough already.

 

[LTIR]

Rodrigue is worse for sure. Another crappy draft pick.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Nice attempt at making a game of it, but they need offense when the game is still close, not when the opposing team has taken their foot off the gas for the entire 3rd period because they were spotted 4 goals by a terrible goaltender.

Not too surprised by the results though. Dallas is a bit overrated, but they're still a good playoff bound team. Fortunately, they get to play Seattle again, another round against a bottom feeder team playing out the string with arguably worse goaltending than what Skinner offers should let the offense actually look effective without Mcdrai once more. I bet the Krakan will be happy to let RNH cosplay as a top six forward again too.

AS much as this looked impressive from the Oilers its the Standard Stars fold job when they think the game is over. they get skating in sand running around soemtimes in games like this. That said the avalanche of PP's helped shape that. Only intelligent thing Debrusk said is that the Stars stopped skating.

Again though its why Kapanens work getting that PP with a few secs left in 2nd period set us up for something in 3rd. Oilers were able to establish a tone and pin Stars back. Stars started to fatigue and make mistakes. Not impossible to get them running around.

Jones has an opportunity on a silver platter. Once Frederic and Kane are back he likely doesn't see another game for the Oilers this season and maybe even next.

 

[29Beast97Mode]

Skinner last 13 games

2 games above. 900

 

[LTIR]

where?

Shave his kraken

 

[KlefDown]

The last three guys they hired were directly responsible for dismantling their previous teams. I'm not sure what the Oilers thought would change about that.

I still can’t wrap my head around the justification of hiring this bald mofo, seriously Katz & co I need an explanation

 

[Dirk Dangler]

Tbf Stars are missing Heiskanen and Seguin.

Are you jerking us around Boner?

 

[bleedthenorth]

pulling up to our last playoffs with mcdrai at 21 mil and our starter's rocking a .894

 

[Drivesaitl]

Arvid on a breakaway. Jebus just this guy. its like he gets nervous and forgets how mommy taught him to skate. Watch his legs twitching around. Spastic. yeah not hard to catch him...

Oilers win this game if we don't have half a dozen players allergic to scoring.

Easy hire. That's all I can think of. He's a buddy, and everyone knows the true Stanley Cup is the friends you hire along the way.

f*** Oilers management. They deserve this failure.

I've been saying all season that this forward corps outside of McDavid and Draisatl shouldn't scare anyone. They seriously struggle to produce offense. How many games have we won this year when we put up 40 shots?

 

[harpoon]

TBF this isn’t your board and your ‘observations’ aren’t wanted.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Schwartz will have Stu ready for 8 of the next 10 starts regardless of how badly he will shit the bed in those games.

Jones just isn't an NHL player. Even with this kind of look he's showing us why he's never made the show. You gotta want it a lot more and outwork on every shift. The attitude for a player like this is every shift could be your last and work for it. He's not that guy.

 

[MoontoScott]

At least you can bury him in the minors next year?

 

[RegDunlop]

Amazing that the Oilers get this many power plays when 97 and 29 aren't in the game. Yet the gifted 2 man advantage is what did them in.

Isn't that something. Hundred PPs when the 2 greatest PP players happen to be out. F ing garbage.

On another note...
Transport me back to mid 80s please. Not just for cups but for a little 'Don Jackson', so that Mr Steel dosent get up for 5 minutes behind the net. Then throw in a bit of 'Glenn Anderson' for a standard rush on Oettinger.

If he has a sense of urgency its not too apparent out there.

 

[harpoon]

Knobs saying Skinner is ‘not expected’ to travel to Seattle.

 

[bellagiobob]

It is beyond any sort of logic or reason that we didn’t address our goaltending issue during the year. I am beyond a patient person, but this is inexcusable. Add this to the offer sheet fiasco, and it’s another huge miss by our owner in his management hiring. So frustrating.
