How many horseshoes does this f***ing team have?

That said, the Oilers need to stop with the self-inflicted wounds.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

McDavid is absent again. If he is f***ing injured just f***ing scratch him then.

Ok then, go tell them. They need your heroism for being miserable

 

[Tobias Kahun]

This team would be better if Kane took a dumb suspension so woodcroft was forced to not play him.

 

[snipes]

Man was that second goal ever a terrible one against Skinner

 

[ZJuice]

This amazingly stupid

I hadn’t thought about chicken little for a very long time but then I saw that quoted post lol

 

[AddyTheWrath]

Remember when everyone told me McDavid isn't injured?

I remember...

 

[Frank the Tank]

It all turned with the Doughty flop to draw the first PP of the second period. As they were saying on ESPN, it's was a veteran play... sad the refs fell for it.

 

[Wreckus]

We need McDavid badly.

Not going to get it. NHL will make sure of that. Every interference call, etc LA does on McDavid will not be called.

Guys, this series is being scripted by the NHL and its working.

 

[nabob]

All those calls are penalties though. It’s self destruction again by this team.

All the penalties by the kings being ignorned by the refs should also be penalties.

Yes the Oilers are being undisciplined, but the kings are getting away with the same penalties on the same shift that the oilers are being called for.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Nice for our entire first line to just take holidays in the playoffs. Disgusting performance by the first line. Particularly Nuge who is actually healthy and is back to playing like tentative bambi out there. 2nd playoffs in a row Danault is schooling Nuge when it counts. Disappointing.

Oilers were really giving up a lot of chances last 10mins and Kings coming. Give up two goals and then a breakaway to Kupari who hits the post. Oilers can thank their stars that didn't go in. Gut check time and once again Oilers let the Kings right in it. First line saying c'mon down. First line being tutored by any line they face. jebus. Wake the f*** up.

 

[CupofOil]

No it’s on Holland for signing a garbage starter. It’s on McDavid for. It showing up yet. It’s one the entire top 6 for being totally undisciplined and taking a ton of awful penalties. It’s not on our rookie backup.

Doesn't matter if he's a rookie or not, he needs to make saves to bail out the team once in a while. Two games in a row of being outgoaltended. Plenty of dumb on the team otherwise so it's not all on him but he needs to be better.

 

[Stoneman89]

Dumb penalties, them winning the goaltending battle big time = the situation that we are in right now. The question is do you pull Skinner now and play Campbell, or do you hope that Stu has a huge 3rd and some how we solve Korpisalo?

Just really stupid penalties once again. Jeezus this team is stupid.

Goaltending in the playoffs is a very different beast than the regular season.

He just had to have that last one.

Had to have both of them

 

[tardigrade81]

Nerves high. Shades of gsme one.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Friedman reported it

We got Ekholm.

 

[barry halls]

McDavid can show up any time now as well. I'm just emotionally detached at this point... why even let this team get your hopes up.

Tampa got swept by Columbus before becoming a mini dynasty, it’s all good. Next season is another year of The Window being wide open, I personally can’t wait for the future of this team because McDavid hoisting a cup is just on the horizon

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Remember when everyone told me McDavid isn't injured?

I remember...

he's injured? link?

 

[McOvechking]

So are RNH and Hyman injured too?

 

[dwonger]

Hey donger.

Sup bro

 

[Kerberos]

Nuge and Hyms are horrible too.

Feels like I haven't even seen either of them out there tonight honestly. This disappearing act (in Hyman's case it's been going on for at least a month) is coming at the worst possible time.

 

[McClelland]

Wtf are they doing, piss away 2-0 leads, Skinner with a blooper.

If they cant finish of Kings in the 3rd, they havent it in them.

 

[harpoon]

Dammit. Can’t find a working ESPN stream. SN is completely unwatchable. We have to listen to Singh sounding like a toddler out there, paired up with Louie and his ‘no shit Sherlock’ observations. And now we get Hrudey who can barely contain his glee.

 

[ElysiumAB]

Then PLEASE explain the MASSIVE 10-3 disparity in powerplays in La’s favour?! GTFOH muppet.

Edmonton has taken undisciplined and sloppy penalties that are the correct calls, easy calls, in both games... it's not hard to understand.

You realize if you're just complaining about the disparity that you're literally asking for game management....... probably the most complained about thing on this board.

 

[Patch101]

Is this my fault? Missed both 1st periods and come in looking great. I watch and things go downhill.
So far, I've watched em score 1, and let in what... 6

 

[FanOfSadTeam]

McDavid Nuge and Hyman have to contribute SOMETHING.

That first line has created next to nothing even in the regular season. Not a good mix. Hyman has only been good on the pp this year.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Tampa got swept by Columbus before becoming a mini dynasty, it’s all good. Next season is another year of The Window being wide open, I personally can’t wait for the future of this team because McDavid hoisting a cup is just on the horizon

lesson learnt from Chicago..or was it the Jets sweep
no wait, the Avs sweep
