I want Edmonton to Calgary it up next period

Volume shots and traffic. Stop this cute garbage

Go full LA and bust out the 1 - 3 - 1

 

[Ibanez]

Nuge absolutely invisible again tonight... wake wakey

Skip the smelling salts. Go straight to hot cattle brand

 

[OfCorsiDid]

Missing depth. Missing players who are able to hold the puck and make plays to open a shooting lane, missing players who shoot the puck in general. Vegas so far the better team.

Ngl it's really difficult to play hockey with your head up your ass.

 

[DrDrai]

Just get some pucks on net, the sooner this team embraces garbage goals the better.

 

[Skar]

Let's pull a game 1 LA and win while being outplayed

 

[iCanada]

Better period imo. We’re going to win.

Hopefully

Tbh I just expected to lose game 1 in every series after we lost game 1 for like the 5th straight time.

We can certainly still win though, but need to pick up the pace and clean some things up.

 

[gordonhught]

15 shots on net... 2 goals, hmmm... what should we do more of?

Pass it into the net?

15 shots on net... 2 goals, hmmm... what should we do more of?

I think we should skate into opposing skaters and lose the puck.

Or pass the puck when we're in the slot.

Or force passes on odd man rushes.

Am I right?

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

if they do scor on the pp i'd nominate GG for coach of the year

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Kostin looked good on that 1 shift with Connor and Kane and then I don't remember seeing him much after that. WTF Jay?

pass?

 

[Oildrum]

Nuge absolutely invisible again tonight... wake wakey

Who?

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

He also gave the puck away that led to a scoring chance against.

 

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

Dallas. You hold no power here.

 

[belair]

Oilers do seem really reluctant to shoot the puck in this game.

Wonder if it's related to Vegas and their focus on collapsing on the net. Coaching staff might want them to be more selective with shots since they're always going to be outmanned fishing for rebounds.

They're definitely a quality over quantity team and it works for them. But they need to take into account who's in net for the other team.

From our perspective it's always the wrist shots from far out that give our goalies the most problems. You'd have to think that should go both ways.

Go full LA and bust out the 1 - 3 - 1

By how often we arw leaving their guys open, might as well lol

 

[Kanedogg]

Why is this idiot Eakins on the panel?

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Oil letting a shaky tender off the hook with 15 shots. Way too many passengers notably with Nugent Hopkins and Hyman showing very little over two periods.

 

[BigFuzzyDice]

Skip the smelling salts. Go straight to hot cattle brand

I'm thinking some grant fuhr reaction time improvement powder...

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

pass?

Drop pass?

 

[harpoon]

I was dumb for thinking LA was better defensively than Vegas. We're very lucky to be in this

Why does this keep happening every season, every series though? All the ‘not worried about Vegas at all’ talk for the last few days was so cringe. There are no shitty teams left.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

So the 2nd wasn't great, but better. 20 hard minutes, get the next one and find a way.

Props to Skinner, he was great that period

 

[GMofOilers]

Vegas is executing their game plan perfectly. Block shots, big forecheck, hard on the puck, and capitalize on their chances.

This game is more of what Vegas is doing not what the Oilers are doing

 

[oobga]

Can't take Dallas Eakins seriously. Seen him coach too much

 

[iCanada]

Go full LA and bust out the 1 - 3 - 1
