GDT: WAKE UP, THE SEASON’S STARTED! Oilers v Black Hawks, 8 PM HNIC

[oobga]

This team insists on just being borderline impossible to cheer for

 

[Dradavich]

That's not good enough, It's the regular season DIG THE f*** IN RIGHT NOW

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

The D sucked even worse to start last year.

The forwards look asleep, I've been a proponent of Knoblaugh but it looks like he fell into the same "no worries" bullshit trap that Woodcroft did with the preseason.

You’re coping bad
This defense gives up a minimum 6 goals a game

 

[CanadasTeam99]

The Oilers just refuse to simplify. Too fancy

 

[Oilhawks]

clown team so far. Playing pond hockey and expecting to waltz to a win

 

[rboomercat90]

The lack of energy or urgency from this team is what’s most disturbing. We saw the same thing in the last game after the Jets took the lead. They look dead and are just going through the motions. This one likely ends up 6-1.

 

[Cloned]

Podkolzin - McDavid - Hyman
Skinner - Drai - Arvidsson
RNH - Henrique - Brown
Janmark - Ryan - Perry

 

[Soundwave]

Anyone saying Knobs seat is hot knows nothing about how a team is built.

This is 100 % acquiring the wrong guys in the top 6 and thinning out the D into oblivion. Blame Bowman and Jackson. When you acquire losers from losing organizations with losing habits and expect them to become winners out of nowhere. Tbe.

I mean aside from Broberg who wasn't really even on the team last year for 95% of the year, it's not like any of these guys are doing f*** all anywhere else.

Foegele - 0 points
McLeod - 1 assist in 4 games
Holloway - 1 secondary assist in 3 games
Ceci: -1
Desharnais: -2 and a healthy scratch already

 

[Davo Ikinzom]

The loss to Calgary tomorrow is going to push some posters to the edge lol.

 

[snipes]

Been all downhill since the Bowman hire.

What a sad decision that was.

 

[GrumpyKoala]

FML

 

[yukoner88]

Let's shoot for a solid 20min period now
Instead of waiting 15mins to finally pick it up

I reluctantly hit the like button.

Stan Bowman was a grave mistake.

Yup we all knew it from the start too

 

[Sra1974]

If anyone believes they are coming back in this game I tip my hat to you, the real question is are they a serious hockey club. That will be determined in the next 5 games.

It’s only 2 games, Skinner and Arvidsson have to get acclimated with teammates, I wouldn’t assume anything at this point yet. And thankfully they put Skinner with Connor like I’ve been advocating all offseason. Nuge - Leon work well together.

 

[Old Boys Club]

Both hawks goals completely saveable. Hawks have 1 high danger chance. Bedards shot was good, shoulder/elbow crook. Still saveable though

So I guess Cody Ceci is what then? A Norris trophy candidate? He makes the difference in a Cup finalist?

Because logically you can't have that argument both ways.

It isn't Desharnais because he's already a healthy scratch, which shows what he is ... an AHL player.

 

[Gnome17]

So far im pretty convinced the Oilers are the most boring team to watch this season.

 

[KlefDown]

its finals fatigue, gripping their sticks too tight and no fluidity in their game

of course we knew that would happened.

Yep it's in between the ears on top of the second coach in a row falling prey to running a garbage preseason.

 

[brentashton]

Stan Bowman was a grave mistake.

Get real. He isn’t responsible for this team.

Giving Pickard two years because he is a nice guy is on brand.
