Post-Game Talk: Ugly way to go into a break

[Zerotonine]

Looks like mcdavid could use the 2 week break. Unfortunately he not missing this 4 nations cup

See good ole stu is doing his best impersonation of an NHL goalie. Woof the first 2 goals were brutal.

I will keep beating this drum if we dont get a true #1 we won't go anywere. High octane offenses like Vegas avs amd Jets will devore Skinner in a 7 game series

No way drai amd or mcdavid haven't spoken up to management about the elephant in the room.

 

[Old Boys Club]

Stuart Skinner gets away with not being credited for the loss. What a pathetic first two goals to give up.

Set the tone for the game - playing 'catch up' again.

Oilers shoot themselves in the foot with 2 stoppable GA's from S. Skinner, and 2 terrible giveaways from Hyman and Bouchard.

McDavid looks incredibly pedestrian this year. Forcing plays, bobbling pucks, refusing to shoot.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

I'm terrified if McDavid isn't hurt, because he's been f***ing terrible for most of this season. Honestly it feels like a lot of his production he's just leeched off of Draisaitl.

Honestly, thats no true at all. Lots of Draisaitl's goals are tap in from McDavid.

 

[Heavy Dee]

Do oilers fans have drasaitl as the better player? I know mcdavid is universally labelled the best, but just curious I would like to get opinion from someone who watches them game in and game out

It's not close this season season. It's Draisaitls team.

 

[CanadasTeam99]

I am sure Gregor and that cuck Tyler Yremchuk will all tell us for two days with thesis' why the tending is good...lollll

This season - yes. Rest of careers - no. Something is very clearly off with McDavid.

And you're probably built like 5'6 220.

I doubt you should be talking about anyones appearance.

50,000 posts in a little over 7 years. Seems like you’re projecting man.

6’1, 185 lbs btw

This year definitely. Leon is also much more of a clutch player in addition to getting more points.

 

[bobbythebrain]

Bouchard lost the game.

Klingberg wasn't putrid too.

 

[Soundwave]

It's not close this season season. It's Draisaitls team.

lol this is just dumb. Flu going through the team probably McDavid has it. Leon is terrific but McDavid is a clear tier above.

 

[Murphinator]

My excitement for the playoffs is going down every game skinner is in net. Seriously dont even want to bother getting invested anymore as long as we have him. And what the f*** is up with mcdavid

 

[MoontoScott]

A 2 week break to get a goalie plan in order--just before the trade deadline.

Drai playing lights out to compensate for poor showings thru out the roster.

 

[LTIR]

McMinus3 was sad tonight

Because I have a job/company thats successful enough that I dont have to run it 24/7 doesnt mean im projecting.

But just insulting a player over their looks is childish, and is 6'1 185, sounds like a stringbean to me.

McDavid deserves a lot more grace than one 60 game stretch where he hasn't looked his absolute best.

But Draisaitl has been far, far better than him this year. It's not even close.

 

[LTIR]

Bouchard lost the game.

Klingberg wasn't putrid too.

Sad that Emberson is our best RD ..

 

[McFlash97]

Hah, oh boy

Skating fast, taking a muffin shot or circling the net then throwing weak attempt is all ive seen from him all season. He hasnt added anything to his game and it shows. Hes been figured oit by guys like Makar, they just skate with him and put sticks in front of his muffin passes and shots. He needs to adjust his game now

 

[McFlyingV]

97, 2 and 74 were terrible tonight. Hyman not far behind.

97 didn't belong in the same league as the 29s tonight. And he hasn't for a while.

Yeah he's definitely in a lull right now. Hyman has been bad all season outside of maybe 5-10 games.

Can't go into playoffs with Skinner as your #1 option in net.

 

[CanadasTeam99]

Why was nobody physical along the wall there? Ugly game, easier to pull those out against lesser opponents but against the Avs it'll bite you.

We are soft as baby sh** along the walls. Lots of guys who can't win a battle like poster boy RNH. Arvidsson faceplants any chance he gets. Not enough hunger.

There are stats for board battle wins, but we don't have access to them

We probably are bad at those. Hits...Don't even get me started. They make the opposition think.

That Sherwood character on Vancouver is going to almost DOUBLE the NHL record for hits

That dude throws more hits in one game than our entire team at times...

 

[LTIR]

McD was garbage against CHI as well.

 

[crowfish]

McDavid man. Shown up by Makar Mackinnon and his own buddy Leon. No points and fumbling pucks all game. Unacceptable. -3. Guy is losing his shine right before our eyes

This guy isnt leading us to no cups. Its Draisaitls team now.

People have the memories of goldfish I swear.

You would think being the 3rd best player in NHL history for a decade, and having set every modern playoff metric just last year alone would buy you a bit of respect. I guess not...

This year, by far.

 

[foshizzle]

I have a bad feeling that the Oilers will be knocked out of the playoffs early because of goaltending. The management will then realize they need goaltending in this league-
Another year pissed away. The oilers way.

Also - it seems 97 had so much happening in his life in the offseason in his personal life that rehab and training took a backseat.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Sending in my resume to be Oilers goalie. Have years of Microsoft Word experience. Will play for league minimum.

I got fired from my million dollar a year job with USAID today for studying shit-posting on Hf Boards, so I’ll throw my resume in too I guess.

 

[Shizuka]

Find a serviceable, reliable, consistent goalie, you bush league Oilers front office clowns.
