Did McDavid get a point in this one? Rhetorical....

 

[Domino666]

Andrew McDonald can go be good in another team, Bill stop towing the company line and drop the act

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I actually like Bill Clement, unlike the rest of you scoundrels, but it's not a great look to be fellating Andrew MacDonald on television (not that there's anything wrong with that).

 

[RANKKA]

farmer better than ever and there is nothing missing from his play....... bill....

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Carchidi just standing there nodding with a stupid cow look on his face and absolutely nothing going on between his ears

 

[Qyburn]

Um Bill, I never hear ANYone arguing "you have to have a cemented starting goalie" unless the discussion is about winning the cup now.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

If Rob Ellis fell down a deep hole in the forest, would anyone make a sound?

 

[x DeCruze]

Alternatively, that looked like one of the wins in the 10-game streak where they came out with 2 points despite being outplayed. Can we expect that the coaching staff will be diligent about pointing out their collective poor play today?

Elliott was very good spreading out down low and knocking away shots that snuck through traffic. He was horrible on the lone goal and really wasn't tested in the 2nd or 3rd (all that I saw of the game). I can't think of a difficult save he had to make.

The defense was solid but the forwards were shaky in their own zone. They just looked lost playing the puck out, leading to turnover after turnover. I thought Voracek (hi!) had a poor game, with many instances where misplaying the puck in the offensive zone set up fast breakouts by the Oilers. There were also lots of missed shots that the Oilers pounced on and drove up the ice.

Patrick had a bad game. Weise was a non-factor and there were at least two incidents where I saw him get away with smacking an Oiler glove with his stick. Laughton, Lehtera, and Read were mediocre and Simmonds seems to really be labouring with the face shield.

He had the one really good save on McDavid on that 2on1. Shot went up the shaft of the stick but that's all I can think off.

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

Andy looked good live.

I thinks it's time people start appreciating Ghost as a top pairing defensemen. He was just superb today.

Shoutout to G, Couts and Sanheim for solid games.

Also, does anyone have any fancy stats for me? McDavid seemed completely nullified.

Since there's lots of people in here at the moment and I can't find it... did the Video Game thread get lost when they updated this forum?? I can't find it in any of my searches

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I've been lucky so far this year.

I'm also too young to call it a water closet.

Not even sure I’ve ever heard an old person refer to it as a water closet either.

 

[Tripod]

Reading the Oilers post GDT:

"This team hasnt had the lead in 18 periods of hockey.
Have allowed the first goal on the first 2 shots in the last 5 straight."

 

[NYCFlyer]

farmer better than ever and there is nothing missing from his play....... bill....

Well if you only saw this game you might conclude that. Totally fine with MacD if he plays like that every night. He was really good.... No really. I'm totally cheering him next game and every game until he sucks again.

I'm not sure about this, but I think you have to go back through the pages of threads manually until you find it - I don't think the search function will turn it up until we post in it here on the new site.

Patrick line with least TOI.

 

[TCTC]

Ghost and Hagg are terrific together. Probably our two best defensemen so far this season.

 

[Curufinwe]

Hagg's had a really good start, but I think Maroon dummied him on the goal almost as much as did Patrick. But that's fine, he's a rookie after all and should only improve.

 

[Striiker]

I think I have in an old black and white movie once.

All I know is I've never heard anyone young say it and it sounds like one of those older terms.

 

[Alex91]

2 points that I didn't count on getting before the season started.

I'm 99% sure it's a british thing, like dustbin.

They really love their euphemisms over there. Queens and lords and ladies can't be associated with "trash" or "garbage", and certainly nothing that would imply the product of any bodily function my word!

 

[Alex91]

Patrick line with least TOI.

Patrick had a bad game. Just seemed like he wasn't interested, and was bent over gliding 90% of the game.

 

[Striiker]

I've heard people say dustbin a lot, actually.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

It's either that or a "the old lady from Titanic" thing.

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

From Oilers forum:

I agree with that actually but I'm sick of watching 4x4 do the starfish every time the puck is in our zone.

Looks like Kris Russel is Amac of the west.

You were correct good sir.
